Джон Браун () е борец за освобождение на чернокожите в САЩ.

През 1855 г. участва заедно с петимата си синове във въоръжената борба на фермерите срещу робовладелците в Канзас. На 16 октомври 1859 г. прави опит да вдигне чернокожите американци на общ бунт, при което с неголям отряд, в който участват и 5 чернокожи, завзема арсенала на редовните войски в град Харпърс Фери в щата Вирджиния. Не след дълго е разбит от редовните войски.

По време на отбраната в Харпърс Фери загиват 2 от неговите синове. Самият Джон Браун е тежко ранен. По-късно е предаден на съда, където е осъден и обесен.

Въстанието, което той организира, значително увеличава броя на движенията срещу робовладението.

• 1 Recipe Idea
The Kraton tree can reach enormous heights of up to 45 meters tall and produce up 24,000 fruits a year. The round fruit is approximately softball sized and a deep golden color that is sometimes tinged with pink. The semi hard exterior surrounds milky white, juicy pulp that may be scooped away like the interior of a very firm melon. The innermost flesh is cottony in texture and tightly clings to 3-5 hard inedible seeds. Kraton fruits range from quite tart to pleasantly sweet and sour, developing flavors similar to that of a mangosteen, tropical and acidic.
Kraton fruit is available in the fall, domestically; but ripens earlier its native Southeast Asian climate.
Kraton is the Thai name for the fruit botanically classified as Sandoricum koetjape in the Meliaceae, or Mahogany, family. It is perhaps the only significant edible fruit in the entire family, found both wild and cultivated. Commonly known as Santol outside of Thailand, it is sometimes referred to as Wild Mangosteen, Cottonfruit, Sour Apple and Sandorica. There are two general types of Kraton, red and yellow, both varying greatly in their levels of sugar and acid.
Kraton fruit is a good source of fiber, pectin, phosphorous and calcium. Parts of the Kraton tree have anti-inflammatory properties and are used for the treatment of diarrhea and dysentery.
The interesting sweet and sour flavor profile of the Kraton make it a highly versatile fruit. It is often seen pickled in a salt and sugar brine and eaten as a sweet snack. A common local dessert involves macerating the pickled fruit into a sort of candy and then combining it with shaved ice. The fruit along with its pickling syrup may be used in cocktails, such as a Bloody Mary or Dirty martini. Kraton is also used in savory applications, and seen in regional curry dishes that feature the fruit's subtly fragrant and sour flavor.
Some Southeast Asian cultures use a decoction of the Kraton leaves in a bath to reduce fever or as a tonic for mothers after childbirth. Chemical studies show that the inherent anti-inflammatory constituents of the tree would indeed be beneficial in such folkloric medicinal treatments.
Kraton is native to the Malaysian peninsula, but has since been naturalized throughout Southeast Asia and is cultivated in India, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Malaysia, Borneo, Indonesia, the Moluccas, Philippines, Mauritius and domestically in Florida. The Kraton tree is a tropical species and not tolerant to frost, but can thrive in both dry and moist environments.

Police appeal following death of young girl in Exeter
Police are appealing for information following the death of 12-year-old Nicole Hartup who fell from a wall at an Exeter youth club on Friday night.
Emergency services were alerted around 8.50pm to a report of the young girl having fallen from an eight foot wall at the rear of the Phoenix Youth Club, off Burnthouse Lane, Exeter.
Youth club support workers and staff from the nearby sports centre were on the scene and immediately went to the aid of Nicole.
It is thought that some of the local children also went to help the local girl, who had been playing with her friends when the incident happened.
Despite the best efforts of youth club staff, who commenced CPR, and ambulance staff at the scene, Nicole sadly passed away at Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital later in the evening.
Police continue to investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. The cause of the death is yet to be established however police are not treating it as suspicious at this time.
Officers are speaking to a number of children and potential witnesses as part of the investigation and appealing for anyone who may have information to contact police.
Detective Sergeant Gary Matthews said: "I believe there were a lot of people in the area at the time of this very sad incident. I would ask anyone who witnessed the incident, or the events before and after, to please contact the police.
"The police are continuing to work closely with Nicole's mum Wendy and her family to provide emotional support through this difficult time. Wendy wishes to pass on her sincere thanks to everyone who came to the aid of her daughter and looked after her, as well as the ambulance staff, hospital staff and police for their support. She reserved special thanks to those who comforted Nicole and gave CPR in an attempt to resuscitate her."
Anyone who witnessed the incident or has information to assist with the investigation is asked to telephone police on 101, quoting enquiry number EN/136241/14.

Q: unique visitor counter from 2 pages i'm doing a PTC (PayToClick) website, which you get paid for the number of clicks you have on your shrinked url.
i want to know if the user clicking your url is unique, if he clicked only once on your url AND he saw the ad only 1 time.
i was thinking of 2 methods to do so, but i dont know what is the best, or there might be another way that is better.

*

*get the info from google analytics for the ad, so i will have the number of unique views of the ad, but i can't find a way to know for sure what user got what number of unique views.

lets say i have 2 ads that each have 100 unique views, i have 2 users who are publishing both of the ads, i don't know how to know if user1 got 60 unique views of ad1 and user2 got 40 views and viceversa.

*i can use cookies and ip address but cookies can be deleted and ip can be changed, and i really dont want to use it, because i will have to code a check to see if that user got too many clicks from the same city etc, and i might lose users.

Any thoughts on that? did i forgot something??

A: I use a website called statcounter.com for Web analytics it may be what your looking for hope that helped :) it let's you drill down into individual page details

Sentencing Law and Policy: "Introducing Disruptive Technology to Criminal Sanctions: Punishment by Computer Monitoring to Enhance Sentencing Fairness and Efficiency"
"Introducing Disruptive Technology to Criminal Sanctions: Punishment by Computer Monitoring to Enhance Sentencing Fairness and Efficiency"
The United States criminal justice system is the most punitive on earth. The total correctional population is nearly seven million, equating to a staggering one in thirty-eight adults. Most of the correctional population comprises offenders who are on parole or probation. The financial burden this imposes on the community is prohibitive. Further, a high portion of offenders who are on parole or probation offend during the period of the sanction. This Article proposes an overdue solution to the crisis which exists in relation to the imposition of criminal sanctions. The solution is especially timely given that there is now a considerable consensus emerging among lawmakers and the wider community that reforms need to be implemented to reduce the cost of criminal sanctions and improve their effectiveness. Moreover, the United States Sentencing Commission has recently proposed an amendment to increase the availability of sentences which are alternatives to incarceration.
With little hint of exaggeration, the sentencing system remains in a primitive state when it comes to adopting technological advances. This Article seeks to address this failing as a means of overcoming the main shortcomings of current common criminal sanctions. Forty years ago, it was suggested that the most effective way to deal with crime was to assign a police officer to watch over the every move of each offender. The proposal was dubbed "cop-a-con". This would nearly guarantee that offenders did not re-offend, while eliminating the adverse consequences of prison. This proposal was manifestly unviable due to its excessive costs. Technological advances now make the concept achievable in a cost-effective manner.
It is now possible to monitor the locations and actions of individuals in live time and to detect crime as it is in the process of being committed. Adapted properly to the criminal justice system, technology has the potential to totally reshape the nature and efficacy of criminal sanctions. The sanctions which are currently utilized to deal with the most serious offenders, namely imprisonment, probation and parole can be replaced with technological monitoring which can more efficiently, effectively and humanely achieve the appropriate objectives of sentencing. Technological disruption in the criminal justice sector is not only desirable, it is imperative. Financial pressures and normative principles mandate that the United States can no longer remain the world's most punitive nation. The sanction suggested in the Article ("the monitoring sanction") has the potential to more efficiently and economically impose proportionate punishment than current probation and parole systems, while enhancing public safety.

The Simpson Desert is a large area of dry, red sandy plain and dunes in the Northern Territory, South Australia and Queensland in central Australia. It is the fourth-largest Australian desert, with an area of .

The desert is underlain by the Great Artesian Basin, one of the largest inland drainage areas in the world. Water from the basin rises to the surface at numerous natural springs, including Dalhousie Springs, and at bores drilled along stock routes, or during petroleum exploration. As a result of exploitation by such bores, the flow of water to springs has been steadily decreasing in recent years. It is also part of the Lake Eyre basin.

The Simpson Desert is an erg that contains the world's longest parallel sand dunes. These north-south oriented dunes are static, held in position by vegetation. They vary in height from  in the west to around  on the eastern side. The largest dune, Nappanerica or Big Red, is  in height.

History

Aboriginal history

Aboriginal people have lived in the Simpson Desert for at least 5000 years and continue to do so today.The Wangkangurru people lived in the Simpson Desert using hand-dug wells called mikiri from long before European colonization until the Federation Drought.

Post-colonisation

Explorer Charles Sturt, who visited the region from 1844 to 1846, was the first European to see the desert. In 1880, Augustus Poeppel, a surveyor with the South Australian Survey Department, determined the border between Queensland and South Australia to the west of Haddon Corner, and in doing so, marked the corner point where the States of Queensland and South Australia meet the Northern Territory. After he returned to Adelaide,  the links in his surveyor's chain were found to have been stretched. Poeppel's border post was too far west by 300 m. In 1884, surveyor Larry Wells moved the post to its proper position on the eastern bank of Lake Poeppel. The tristate border is now known as Poeppel Corner. In January 1886, surveyor David Lindsay ventured into the desert from the western edge, in the process discovering and documenting, with the help of a Wangkangurru Aboriginal man, 9 native wells, and travelling as far east as the Queensland/Northern Territory border.

In 1936, Ted Colson became the first nonindigenous person to cross the desert in its entirety, riding camels. The name Simpson Desert was coined by Cecil Madigan, after Alfred Allen Simpson, an Australian industrialist, philanthropist, and geographer, and president of the South Australian branch of the Royal Geographical Society of Australasia. Mr Simpson was the owner of the Simpson washing machine company.

In September 1962, geologist Reg Sprigg, his wife Griselda, and their two children completed the first vehicular crossing of the desert.

In 1980, Bob Beer became the first person to run across the Simpson. Beer ran 420 km across the desert in 6.5 days, starting at Alka Seltzer Bore, South Australia and finishing at Birdsville, Queensland. A documentary was made about this trip called "The Runner".

In 1984, Dennis Bartel was the first white man to successfully walk solo and unsupported west-to-east across the Simpson, 390 km in 24 days, relying on old Aboriginal wells for water. In 2006, Lucas Trihey was the first nonindigenous person to walk across the desert through the geographical centre away from vehicle tracks and unsupported. He carried all his equipment in a two-wheeled cart, and crossed from East Bore on the western edge of the desert to Birdsville in the east. In 2008, Michael Giacometti completed the first, and only, east-to-west walk across the Simpson Desert. Starting at Bedourie in Queensland, he walked solo and unsupported, towing all his equipment, food, and water in a two-wheeled cart to Old Andado homestead. Also in 2008, Belgian Louis-Philippe Loncke became the first non-indigenous person to complete a north–south crossing of the desert on foot, unsupported, and through the geographical centre.

In 2016, explorer Sebastian Copeland and partner Mark George completed the longest unsupported latitudinal crossing (west-to-east across the dunes) of the Simpson They linked the Madigan Line, Colson Track and French Line for the first time, walking from Old Andado homestead to Birdsville, a distance of  in 26 days.

In 1967, the Queensland government established the Munga-Thirri National Park, formerly known as the Simpson Desert National Park.

Access
No maintained roads cross the desert. The Donohue Highway is an unpaved outback track passing from near Boulia towards the Northern Territory border in the north of the desert.  Some tracks were created during seismic surveys in the search for gas and oil during the 1960s and 1970s. These include the French Line, the Rig Road, and the QAA Line. Such tracks are still navigable by well-equipped four-wheel drive vehicles that must carry extra fuel and water. Towns providing access to the South Australian edge of the Simpson Desert include Innamincka to the south and Oodnadatta to the southwest; and from the eastern (Queensland) side include Birdsville, Bedourie, Thargomindah, and Windorah. The last fuel on the western side is at the Mount Dare hotel and store. Before 1980, a section of the Commonwealth Railways Central Australian line passed along the western side of the Simpson Desert. The less travelled Madigan Line runs from Old Andado Station to Birdsville. The geographic centre of the desert can be reached by driving 80 km north from the French Line via the Centre Line.

Visitor attractions
The desert is popular with tourists, particularly in winter, and popular landmarks include the ruins and mound springs at Dalhousie Springs, Purnie Bore wetlands, Approdinna Attora Knoll and Poeppel Corner (where Queensland, South Australia and the Northern Territory meet). Because of the excessive heat and inadequately experienced drivers attempting to access the desert in the past, the Department of Environment and Natural Resources has decided since 2008–2009 to close the Simpson Desert during the summer – to save unprepared "adventurers" from themselves.

Another attraction is the Big Red Bash, which is billed as the most remote music festival on Earth.  The event features concerts and a Big Red Bash drag race across sand dunes to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia.

The desert can also be crossed by bicycle. The Simpson Desert Bike Challenge crosses the Simpson Desert every year in September.

Climate
The area has an extremely hot, dry desert climate. Rainfall is minimal, averaging only about 150 mm per year and falling mainly in summer. Temperatures in summer can approach 50 °C and large sand storms are common. Winters are generally cool, but heatwaves even in the middle of July are not unheard of.

Some of the heaviest rain in decades occurred during 2009–2010, and caused the Simpson Desert to burst into life and colour. In early March 2010, Birdsville recorded more rain in 24 hours than is usual in a whole year. Rain inundated Queensland's north-west and Gulf regions. In total, 17 million megalitres of water entered the State's western river systems, leading to Lake Eyre. In 2010, researchers uncovered the courses of ancient river systems under the desert.

Ecology

The Simpson Desert is also a large part of the World Wildlife Fund ecoregion of the same name, which consists of the Channel Country and the Simpson Strzelecki Dunefields bioregions of the Interim Biogeographic Regionalisation for Australia (IBRA).

The flora of the Simpson Desert ecoregion is limited to drought-resistant shrubs and grasses, especially Zygochloa paradoxa grass that holds the dunes together and the spinifex and other tough grasses of side slopes and sandy desert floor between the dunes. The Channel Country section of the ecoregion lies to the northeast of the desert proper around the towns of Bedourie and Windorah in Queensland, and consists of low hills covered with Mitchell grass cut through with rivers lined with coolabah trees. The ecoregion also includes areas of rocky upland and seasonally wet clay and salt pans, particularly Lake Eyre, the centre of one of the largest inland drainage systems in the world, including the Georgina and Diamantina Rivers.

Wildlife adapted to this hot, dry environment and seasonal flooding includes the water-holding frog (Litoria platycephala) and a number of reptiles that inhabit the desert grasses. Endemic mammals of the desert include the kowari (Dasycercus byrnei), while birds include the grey grasswren (Amytornis barbatus) and Eyrean grasswren (Amytornis goyderi). Lake Eyre and the other seasonal wetlands are important habitats for fish and birds, especially as a breeding ground for waterbirds, while the rivers are home to birds, bats, and frogs. The seasonal wetlands of the ecoregion include Lake Eyre and the Coongie Lakes, as well as the swamps that emerge when Cooper Creek, Strzelecki Creek, and the Diamantina River are in flood. The birds that use these wetlands include the freckled duck (Stictonetta naevosa), musk duck (Biziura lobata), silver gull (Larus novaehollandiae), Australian pelican (Pelecanus conspicillatus), great egret (Ardea alba), glossy ibis (Plegadis falcinellus), and banded stilt (Cladorhynchus leucocephalus). Also, the mound springs of the Great Artesian Basin are important habitat for a number of plants, fish, snails, and other invertebrates.

Native vegetation is largely intact as the desert is uninhabitable,  so habitats are not threatened by agriculture, but are damaged by introduced species, particularly rabbits and feral camels. The only human activity in the desert proper has been the construction of the gas pipelines, while the country on its fringes has been used for cattle grazing and contains towns such as Innamincka. Mound springs and other waterholes are vulnerable to overuse and damage. Protected areas of the ecoregion include the Simpson Desert, Goneaway, Lochern, Bladensburg, Witjira and Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre National Parks as well as the Innamincka Regional Reserve, and the Munga-Thirri–Simpson Desert National Park.

Ethabuka Reserve is a nature reserve in the north of the desert owned and managed by Bush Heritage Australia.

Dunefields
The extensive dunefields of the Simpson Desert display a range of colours from brilliant white to dark red, and include pinks and oranges.

Morphology

The sand ridges have a trend of SSE-NNW and continue parallel for great distances.  This pattern is seen throughout the deserts of Australia.  Some of the ridges continue unbroken for up to 200 km.  The height and the spacing between the ridges are directly related.  Where five to six ridges occur in 1 km, the dune height is around 15 m, but when only one or two ridges occur in 1 km, the height jumps to 35–38 m. In cross section, the lee side is the eastern slope with an incline of 34-38°, while the stoss side is the western slope with an incline of only 10-20°.  In cross section, the cross beds are planar with foresets alternating between east and west.  The foresets have incline angles of 10-30°.

Sediment
The sand is predominately made up of quartz grains, which are rounded and subangular. They range in size from 0.05 to 1.2 mm with 0.5 mm being the typical size for the crests and 0.3 mm being the average size on the dune flanks. The active crests have sand sediment, but on the interdunes, the sediment is not as well sorted. The sediment varies in color from pink to brick red, but by the rivers and playas, the sediment color is light grey. The progression of the color from grey to red is due to the release of iron oxide from the sediment when weathered.

Q: How to check if PDF was modified I have a PDF generated by 3rd party system. Using PDF editor or els software I have modified it.
Is it possible to detect if PDF file was modified, without original file?
I will add some more details.
There is no encryption and no signature features.
Document is created by IT system. User receives document and modifies it.
Is it possible to track that change somehow?
I thought that all these applications leaves some data in PDF header or somewhere encoded inside file and it is possible to check it. However properties showed by windows explorer shows nothing... so I was interested if there is something smarter than viewing properties/header in explorer.

A: The problem with this is that just opening the PDF on a Mac in Preview and hitting Command-S to save the file will replace both the Creation and Modification date to match the current date/time. So even the creation date will be wrong. Even novice users can unknowingly do this, so if you're trying to track someone who may be purposefully modifying the document, it may lead to a false positive.
What you're asking is just too easy to spoof and fool unfortunately.

A: You could always check the md5sum of the pdf file. I'm not sure what environment you are using but that should help get you started.

A: It's going to be rough without the original file unless there were security features like encryption or digital signatures applied to it, which it doesn't sound like there was.  Do you have access to any information at all about the original file?  A file size, creation date, any of the metadata, etc.?

A: If the tool used to modify the PDF is working according to the PDF spec then in the Info dictionary it should update ModDate but leave CreationDate alone.  You may also see some non-zero generation numbers on the objects although it is just as possible that all the objects have been regenerated and will therefore be generation 0. The trial version of CosEdit will allow you to look at these 2 items.
If however the tool has been used to intentionally modify the PDF without leaving a trace then they would be spoofing those bits of data so they won't help you.

A: Are the users modifying the PDF using Acrobat?  If so then what Danio mentioned above should work.  Strictly speaking, modifying the PDF should change its ModDate or xmp:ModifyDate without changing its CreationDate.  However not all tools adhere to this; quite a few simply leave all metadata untouched, so this method of checking isn't 100% reliable unless you know what PDF editor your users employ.
If the editor your users use does change ModDate or xmp:ModifyDate, then you should be able to see it in two places.  One is when you open the document in Acrobat and hit Ctrl-D to view Document Properties.  The Creation field and Modified field should have different timestamps.  There may also be APIs that can be used to programmatically retrieve this metadata.  The other way you can visualize it is to simply open the PDF in Notepad and search for the properties.  Most of the document won't be human readable but these timestamps should be.  If they do get changed appropriately, you can always parse for them in your application.  Good luck!

A: If you're using Ubuntu linux 18.04 and using Document Viewer then, you can

*

*click on File options (3 vertical line ellipsis)

*click on Properties...

*look for Created / Modified fields in the Properties pop up

Beware: A sufficiently knowledgeable user can manipulate the PDF contents without changing the Created and Modified time stamps in the PDF metadata and the file system.

A: You can use some tools to get the pdf file property.
I use pdfinfo, you can get many property of the file, and check it.

Jacob Abbott The History of Pyrrhus
Pyrrhus was a Greek general and statesman of the Hellenistic era. He was king of the Greek tribe of Molossians, of the royal Aeacid house (from c. 297 BC), and later he became king of Epirus and Macedon. He was one of the strongest opponents of early Rome. Some of his battles, though successful, cost him heavy losses, from which the term Pyrrhic victory was coined. Pyrrhus and his campaign in Italy was effectively the only chance for Greece to check the advance of Rome towards domination of the Mediterranean world. Rather than banding together, the various Hellenistic powers continued to fight among themselves, sapping the financial and military strength of Greece and to a lesser extent, Macedon and the greater Hellenistic world. By 197 BC, Macedonia and many southern Greek city-states became Roman client states; in 188 BC, the Seleucid Empire was forced to cede most of Asia Minor to Rome's ally Pergamon (Pergamum). Rome inherited that state, and most of Asia Minor in 133 BC. Total Roman domination over Greece proper was marked by the destruction of Corinth in 146 BC; Greece would then form an integral part of the Roman world leading into the Byzantine period.

John West The History of Tasmania
Two Volumes Annotated
The History of Tasmania: Two Volumes Annotated by John West. The first reported sighting of Tasmania by a European was on 24 November 1642 by the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman, who named the island Anthoonij van Diemenslandt, after his sponsor, the Governor of the Dutch East Indies. The name was later shortened to Van Diemen's Land by the British. In 1772, a French expedition led by Marc-Joseph Marion du Fresne landed on the island.

HERODOTUS ., THE HISTORY OF HERODOTUS
Herodotus (/hɨˈrɒdətəs/; Ancient Greek: Ἡρόδοτος Hēródotos) was a Greek historian who was born in Halicarnassus, Caria (modern-day Bodrum, Turkey) and lived in the fifth century BC (c. 484–425 BC). Widely referred to as "The Father of History" (first conferred by Cicero), he was the first historian known to collect his materials systematically and critically, and then to arrange them into a historiographic narrative.[1] The Histories—his masterpiece and the only work he is known to have produced—is a record of his "inquiry" (or ἱστορία historía, a word that passed into Latin and acquired its modern meaning of "history"), being an investigation of the origins of the Greco-Persian Wars and including a wealth of geographical and ethnographical information. Although some of his stories were fanciful and others possibly inaccurate, he claimed he was reporting only what had been told to him. Little is known of his personal history. [more][Less]
M. H. Spielmann The History Of "Punch"
The prevailing idea of the origin and history of Punch has hitherto rested mainly on three productions: the "Memories" of George Hodder, "Mr. Punch's Origin and Career," and Mr. Joseph Hatton's delightful but fragmentary papers, entitled "The True Story of Punch." So far as the last-named is based upon the others, it is untrustworthy in its details; but the statements founded on the writer's own knowledge and on the documentary matter in his hands, as well as upon his intimacy with Mark Lemon, possess a distinct and individual value, and I have not failed to avail myself in the following pages of Mr. Hatton's courteous permission to make such use of them as might be desirable.

Which paraglanist sells the most used paraglet for sale?
By: admin Published: September 6, 2021
How much is it to fly a paragus in New York City?
That question will be answered in the first installment of our new weekly column, "How Much Is a Paraglanister?"
It will examine how paragliophiles are getting by, how they can afford to spend more, and how they have a future in New Yorks paragliciding scene.
Paraglides are the art of getting airborne from the ground by spinning a large, cylindrical paragelike object around a pole or by using it as a parachute.
Paraglids can be sold for up to $150,000, but most are bought as hobbyists or custom made.
Parahull paragls, made from paragels, are a common sight in New England paraglies, and are often considered the cheapest of the paraglis.
The Paraglicid Paragling Club, or PLP, is a group of paraglinists who are active in the New York area.
They sell paraggliders and other paraphernalia at auctions.
Aparagla, a member of PLP who does paragflops, explained that he sells a few of his Paraglet Paragliaes to collectors, but does not have a business.
"It's a hobby," Aparaglia said.
"I have a lot of parags, and I'm a big paraglio person."
Apara's paraglaes are sold at auction and are sold for anywhere from $100 to $200.
He said he makes a lot more than he sells them.
"It's not just about the price," he said.
Palo Alto paragliae is one of Aparagi's favorite items, and he said the Paragleglider Club in San Jose, California, has sold more than 400 paragligias to collectors since 2009.
It's easy to get a paragon, Aparaga said.
It takes a certain level of dedication, and you can't just go around paragling.
"Paragliges are very rare, so it's a great way to spend a lot," he explained.
While there are many paragleists who can be found flying in New Zealand, Paragla's group is a big one.
In the United States, paragleglogists are the fastest growing group of pilots.
Their ranks include paragllists, paraggliophiliacs, and paragoliners.
When I asked Paragglider Club President Michael Bostrom if there were paragloopers in the United Kingdom, he said there were, but he was not aware of any paraglas.
Another paraglogist in the group is Tom Johnson, who lives in New Hampshire and has owned and operated paraglasses since 2009 in a paragole, a paragin, or a pariglider.
Johnson sells a wide variety of paragoles, including the Paragolet Paragole.
Johnson is a former paraglorist, and the ParaLifestyle Paraglas, an online forum for paraglass enthusiasts, describes him as "the world's leading paraglance expert."
He has paragles in various states of disrepair, and when the Paragon Club of New York recently offered him a $100,000 grant to repair or restore his paraglon, he jumped at it.
I'm glad I did," Johnson said.
I love the paragolet.
I also love the artistry of the work and the attention to detail that goes into it.
It's just really cool.
After buying one of his most popular paraglets from an auction, Johnson bought another in 2009.
He still has several more paraglimates to repair, including one he purchased in 2013 that he is still restoring.
This is the Paralgla of the Year, he says, and one of the best paraglifters I've ever seen.
His paraglos were once considered a novelty item.
But now, he believes paraglitists are more interested in paragluing than paraglandering.
He said he would rather spend his money on other things.
If someone said to me, 'What is the cheapest paragbel in New Jersey?'
They're just fun to play with, and they're the best thing for parags. "
You can find them for as little as $100," he continued.
They're just fun to play with, and they're the best thing for parags.
As for his paragg

Günzer Tamás is one of two brothers that make wines in Villány. For foreigners this is sometimes a little bit confusing so for easy reference I have added his given name!
Günzer offers a fresh and light rosé wine, two white wines and one sparkling wine, but they are best known for their big variety of red wines both light and heavy, single grape and blends. The wine we will talk about today is a "premium" red blend made out of the three Bordeaux grapes (Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot). Unfortunately I can not give an exact percentage on the grapes, due to not getting a response from the cellar.
Let's talk a little bit about Bocor, what is Bocor?
Bocor is a vineyard on the slopes of the Kopár hill, one of the most promising hills in the region. Many delicate and delicious wines are made from the grapes that are grown on the Kopár hill. Gunzers' Bocor vineyard are protected from 3 sides, the south part is open and has a 15-20% slope. This is the their latest plantation which they started in 2009 and first started harvesting in 2011.
The Bocor Vineyards. The picture is not taken by me, all credit goes to Günzer Tamás.
The wine was matured in 225 liter new barrique barrels for 24 months and as previously mentioned, it's made out of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
Medium ruby in color and clear.
A clean, complex medium(+) intensive nose with dark chocolate, charred wood and a little bit of vanilla. I think due to bottle aging there was also some tobacco in the nose. You could also feel the alcohol.
The flavors corresponded well with the nose with medium intensive tannins without any dominating alcohol with a medium long finish. I also found some vegetal notes and some leather which I once again think comes from the bottle aging.
I personally think that this wine is very good and has potential to age further but you can of course also drink it today!
My score for this wine is 88 points.
The price for this wine was 6200 Hungarian Forints, which is about 21 euros.

The Norwegian black metal entity Enthral was formed in the summer of 1995 by Kjetil Hektoen and Gunnhild Bratset under another name. The band moved to Oslo in October of 1995. Gunnleik "Ask" Fjellseth joined the band on bass for a brief period.
In March 1996 the band, having now found its name (the band existed under a different one earlier), prepared to record a four-track demo. Demo 1996 featured Thomas Kjørnes on bass. Magnus Krogsveen (guitar) and Martin Løchsen (keyboards) soon came and went.
In 1997 the band contributed the song Awaiting The Rise Of The Forestgod to the Dimmu Borgir-owned Hot Records compilation CD The Rape of the Holy Trinity. An album called Prophecies Of The Dying was recorded at Stovner R.F studio in May 1997 in 4 days! A second guitarist (Espen Simonsen who was a former member of the death metal act Tshe Flesh with which Kjetil had pounded the skins for a brief period) soon joined the ranks.
Espen Simonsen left Enthral in November 1998. The band signed to Necropolis Records in 1999 hoping to record an album called The Relinquishment And The Renascence in early 2000. This album was not released due to the financial problems of Necropolis Records. Enthral appeared on the King Diamond Tribute released by Necropolis Records in 2000 covering the song The Portrait however. The band issued a four-track demo in late 2000. They signed to the Dutch Displeased Records in 2002 and issued a third album in July of 2003. Subterranean Movement featured three songs from the 2000 demo. This release featured Ronny Hansen on guitars. It was recorded at MLP studio and self-produced.
In 2015, Necrostable Records announced that the band had agreed to release its album The Mirror`s Opposite End (1998) digitally through the label.
ENTHRAL - SUBTERRANEAN MOVEMENT - DISPLEASED
Writing a review for the new Enthral album is relatively difficult. The Norwegians have always been or are - this being my first encounter with the act's musical output - a band with a diverse sound. That is to say that the band likes to keep the listener, and presumably itself, on its toes by varying the tempo, speed and structure of the songs consistently.
Enthral is more complex than the average Norwegian band. Elements of Emperor occasionally rule Enthral, but the band is more multi-faceted than those disbanded trend masters. Then again, the rhythms and actual riffs used by the band are deceptively simple, even when riding on top of a synthesized screech or accompanied by the grumble of backing vocals resembling a lizard waiting to strike. Yes, the menacing vocals, a dangerously buzzing guitar sound and a variable pace of both medium and fast tempos exist here, but unfortunately several songs feature the damned keyboards ever so loathed very much by metal fans. Still, these are short and wither quickly. Songs like Earth Left Behind, for instance, completely ignore the offending heavenly instrument and are all the more effective because of it. Unfortunately, several songs have the damned keyboards loathed so very much by metal fans. Still, these are short and wither quickly. The album clocks in at near fifty minutes, which is above average, but while most of the album (as mentioned) is interesting by virtue of its variety the album occasionally drifts like the ending of To The Bone. The band knows how to construct a good melody as heard on the harmonic twin guitars of Charge Of The I, but there needs to be more of it. So, here is the scoop. Complex in structure, yet straightforward in actual approach, Enthral would do even better were it to incorporate more solos and banish the keyboards and advance the way it currently Enthrals the audience. Ali "The Metallian"
Norwegian heavy metal band Enthral has not reached the same level of popularity as a Dimmu Borgir or Emperor. Furthermore, the band was recently sidetracked with internal and external problems, yet things are about to change somewhat with the recent release of the Subterranean Movement full-length on Displeased Records. Ali "The Metallian" received a call from drummer Kjetil Hektoen who was eager to shed some light on the band's situation and plans. - 01.09.2003
METALLIAN: Kjetil, thank you for calling Metallian Towers. Enthral should probably figure larger in the minds of metal fans than its current status allows. Do you care to shed some light on the band's story?
HEKTOEN: First of all, thank you for your interest in Enthral. Guitar player Gunnhild Bratset and I formed the band in April or May of 1995. We come from the same little town called Sunndalsøra and we also went to school together. Sunndalsøra is not exactly the place to find people who are interested in extreme music, but fortunately we shared the same ideas and goals and decided to form a band. At first we called ourselves Fimbulvinter. We chose Enthral as our band name later. During that summer we had our first rehearsals in Sunndalsøra. As autumn approached we moved to Oslo to attend school and after a little while found a place to rehearse. Later that year we got in touch with a bass player called Gunleik Fjellseth, but he only lasted for about three or four rehearsals. He wasn't dedicated at all, and we got tired of waiting to see if he showed up to rehearsals. Anyway, that didn't stop us and we continued to compose material for what was to become our first demo, simply named Demo 1996. It was recorded and released in March of 1996. Only fifty copies were ever distributed. A good friend of the band, Thomas Kjørnes, took care of the bass on the demo. We had offered him a place in Enthral, but as his musical taste was more in the fields of traditional heavy metal he kindly declined our offer. He was, and still is of course, a very talented musician. We also had two other members included in the lineup for a while, but they didn't last long either. The main ingredient missing was dedication.
In August of 1996 Gunnhild and I went into Hov Studio in our hometown to record the track Awaiting The Rise Of The Forestgod. It was later featured on the Hot Records' Compilation Vol. 1, The Rape Of The Holy Trinity. It was released in 1997. First and foremost, it was meant to examine how the band would function in the recording environment. The pleasant outcome was that the track turned out very well and we decided to record a video for the song as well. In October or November of 1996 we finally got in touch with a bass player, a very dedicated, talented and like-minded individual, called Martin Rafoss. Finally, a piece of the puzzle was in place. To this day he is still with the band. We put our minds together and came up with a lot of material that eventually led to the songs featured on our first album Prophecies Of The Dying. For the record, many of our riffs had been composed earlier, but some of them were rearranged for this session. We finally secured a two-album deal with Hot Records in the winter of 1997 and in May of the same year recorded Prophecies Of The Dying. It was recorded and mixed at Stovner Rockefabrikk in four days and released in July.
Shortly after two new members were added to the ranks. Guitarist Espen Simonsen, and Stian Aarstad joined the band which meant that the sound of the band grew further. Sadly, the production on The Mirror's Opposite End album didn't show it at all. That was due to the incompetent main engineer we worked with, one Mr. Saehle. Despite the rough production, the album received great reviews. In August of that year we started recording demos for what was to be our third album The Relinquishment And The Renascence. The songs were very heavy metal- oriented, but with a dark aura and the typical twists and turns we have in our music. Later that year Espen left the band due to his education which took much of his time. He didn't want to be in the way. A few months later we lost our rehearsal room. The search for a new one lasted for almost a year. That was a very difficult period for the band, but we stuck to our guns.
By the time we found a place we were in contact with Necropolis Records. We appeared on their tribute album to King Diamond. After that bad experience, we decided we had had enough of the music business for a while and mostly kept to ourselves.
The Demo 2000 was recorded, but we didn't care to send it out to labels. We felt we needed more time to develop our sound. In 2001 we got in touch with guitarist Dan Ola Persson, formerly of the Ancient's Rebirth and Cardinal Sin. We started to rear our ugly heads again, and planned many shows together with different underground bands here in Norway, but due to many bands' unprofessional attitudes they all fell apart. It was all work and no play! Dan was later forced to leave the band due to shitloads of work and we were once again searching for a second guitar player. Luckily we got in touch with Ronny Hansen who impressed us a lot with his skills and musical ability. We started to contact different labels and ended up with Displeased in December of 2002. We recorded and mixed Subterranean Movement during a period lasting from February to April of this year. I guess there is more to mention, but that's about most of Enthral's history.
METALLIAN: How about The Flesh? Isn't that band integral to Enthral's history?
HEKTOEN: The Flesh was a very good, and also a very technical, death metal band which was formed in 1994 by Enthral's former guitar player Espen Simonsen and guitarist Morten Vaeng. Other members were bassist and singer Einar Fredriksen and drummer Anders Eek. They both were from the doom metal band Funeral. The Flesh released one demo called Ice Cold Macabre Lust and the mini-CD Storming The Heaven's Gate. By the end of 1996 I saw an advertisement in a music store which said that The Flesh was searching for a drummer. I gave Espen a call, turned up at an audition and I was in. Sadly, the band didn't last much longer because both Morten and Einar didn't see any future in performing death metal. The band fell to pieces in the summer of 1997. Consequently, I offered Espen a place in Enthral. The rest is history.
METALLIAN: Why was the name Fimbulvinter changed earlier? Was it because of the band with the same name on Hot Records?
HEKTOEN: We felt that such a name didn't represent the whole spectrum of the band's sound. We didn't feel that name represented the band or our music. As you can see, the other Fimbulwinter didn't have anything to do with it as they have a different spelling. In Norse mythology Fimbulvinter, a three-year long winter, represents the beginning of Ragnarok.
METALLIAN: Elsewhere, had Enthral not signed with Necropolis Records? What happened to the album announced for that label?
HEKTOEN: Enthral never signed a contract with Necropolis. They told us we had a deal and we also appeared on their Tribute To King Diamond. We were then pretty sure that things were going our way. We recorded the song The Portrait for the tribute album, but they never paid for the time we spent in the studio. Anyway, we paid for the recording and we were told we would get the money back. That never did happen and we didn't even receive a copy of the album! We bought it ourselves! I actually view that experience as a positive one because imagine what would have happened if we had signed to that rip-off label. We are very happy to be on Displeased Records.
METALLIAN: How did you hook up with Displeased Records?
HEKTOEN: It was through the Norwegian metal magazine Scream. I had read that Displeased Records was searching for new bands to sign. I decided to get in touch with them, and later on they received our Demo 2000. Luckily they found the material satisfactory and we signed a deal with the label.
METALLIAN: For how many albums have you signed to Displeased?
HEKTOEN: We have signed a two-album deal with Displeased Records. Hopefully both band and label will grow together. Their distribution may not be the best at the moment, but we hope that things will work out ASAP.
METALLIAN: Did the material from your most recent demo end up on the current album?
HEKTOEN: The Demo 2000 consisted of three tracks and all three of them are included, in re-recorded versions, on Subterranean Movement. The tracks are Slaves Of One Tongue, Charge Of The I, and Our Justice Be Done. Actually, with that demo the fundamentals of our future direction were laid.
METALLIAN: Can you address the current album? Additionally, why was the title changed from The Relinquishment And The Renascence to the Subterranean Movement?
HEKTOEN: Subterranean Movement is an album that carries a lot of our roots. It also dares to experiment in the more progressive fields of metal. We are not the kind of band that limits itself with rules. From the opener Earth Left Behind to the ending of Charge Of The I one will find an album that travels from the very extreme, to more traditional metal and on to doom metal. The title wasn't changed. The Relinquishment... is a completely different album. Sorry if I have mislead you on that point.
METALLIAN: Actually, the misunderstanding might have been at this end. What happens with the material from The Relinquishment... album?
HEKTOEN: To be honest, I have no idea at all! Some of the tracks are very good, and it would be cool to perhaps include some of these recordings on a mini-CD or something. They were very important in the sense that we, with those tracks, more and more developed the musical style we have today.
METALLIAN: Regardless, how about an overview of your lyrics?
HEKTOEN: The lyrics deal with topics ranging from angst, madness and herd mentality to anti-religion sentiments. I try to view those themes from different views and in many ways they work as a kind of therapy. I focus on what I see as wrong in this society. Religion is but one of those topics. The most fascinating theme of all must be the human mind. Nothing can work so much against you, or bring you so much happiness for that matter. Most of all I want people to make up their own minds. If I told you too much, I may destroy their interpretation of them. We are not here to tell people what they should hear or see when they listen to our music.
METALLIAN: One has to wonder why Norwegians would sing about angst, madness and other similar issues. The country is widely recognized for being socially progressive.
HEKTOEN: Well, perhaps that is the reason. People don't like to talk about their real problems. I guess you agree when I say that everyone has something against which they struggle. I wouldn't speculate too much regarding what the cause may be, but most of us are living a very hectic life; trying to be at least in two places at the same time.
METALLIAN: One thing you can discuss is the dynamics and limitations of a drummer-cum-singer. Is this arrangement by design or a last resort?
HEKTOEN: Good question. If you practice enough, then there should be no limitations at all! That's the way I see it. Enthral have performed live with me as a singer and drummer and it has gone well. I agree though when people mention that it looks a bit strange without a frontman and for future performances we will have one. I will be doing backing vocals.
Our vocal situation isn't by design, nor is it a last resort. I only knew that I wanted that role. And it is a role in which I feel very well.
METALLIAN: What is your time-line for recruiting a new singer? Do you have any candidates?
HEKTOEN: We will not recruit a new singer for the future albums' recordings. For the upcoming gigs we will use Lloyd Hektoen from Koldbrann. They are a very 'Norwegian'-sounding black metal band in the vein of Darkthrone, Gorgoroth, and others. They are really harsh, brutal, and sometimes fast as hell. I advise everyone to check them out! Their website is at www.koldbrann.cjb.net. I believe that the vocal situation can sometimes alter depending on the gigs in the future. I may only do the lead vocals at some shows and other times I will do the drums and backing vocals.
METALLIAN: Speaking of other Norwegian bands, can you talk about your relationship with Dimmu Borgir?
HEKTOEN: We don't know the guys from Dimmu Borgir personally, but Shagrath was the one who decided to include us on the The Rape Of The Holy Trinity compilation. The owner of Hot Records, Sture Hegstad, was the person who gave us a record deal. When Stian Aarstad was fired from Dimmu Borgir, I decided to give him a call to check if he would be interested in joining Enthral and luckily he was. We had been searching for a keyboard player for a long time so we were very happy when we recruited him for the band. He is a very talented musician.
METALLIAN: Why was Stian fired from Dimmu Borgir?
HEKTOEN: Stian was fired from Dimmu Borgir because of his lack of dedication. This is also the case with Enthral, where we gave him two choices. That is, either he committed himself to the band one-hundred percent or he had to leave.
METALLIAN: What is your take on today's Dimmu Borgir?
HEKTOEN: I have nothing but total respect for what the band has achieved - especially Shagrath and Silenoz. They have put so much time, money, and dedication into Dimmu Borgir. I may not enjoy all of their material, but there is no doubt that they are a great band comprised of strong individuals. I don't agree when people claim they are sell-outs. They always had their sound and as they grew as musicians, they naturally began seeking more challenges. It may be a symphony orchestra, more melodies or speed. People who attack them must be leading truly boring lives.
METALLIAN: Where do you go from here and what are your future plans?
HEKTOEN: We are now concentrating on live performances and at the same time also concentrating on new material. I guess the live material will be a fine mix between our old and new songs, but we will mainly focus on the latest release of course. We also have to sit down and think about a stage show, but we need money for that of course. We have five tracks ready for an album which follows the path of the material on the latest album, but with a slightly more brutal and cynical edge. We also would really like to release an EP, but that's up to our record company of course.
METALLIAN: Can you say a few words about your other side-project? There are few details available regarding it.
HEKTOEN: If you're thinking of Sjodogg, nothing has happened yet. In time we will record a demo, but as my schedule is very tight at the moment we will have to wait a little while. Espen Simonsen is the man behind all compositions. I will write the lyrics, do the drumming plus all the vocals.
I don't consider Crest Of Darkness a side project. I am a full-time member of that band. We have now finished the recording and mixing for the new album Evil Knows Evil. The Italian label My Kingdom Music will release it. It is scheduled for release in November. We will do some touring in support of the album, but no countries or cities have been determined yet.
METALLIAN: Thank you for your time, Kjetil.
HEKTOEN: Thanks a lot for your support, Ali. Thanks for doing this interview with Enthral. I wish you all the best at Metallian! Please make sure to check out our website once in a while at www.enthral.org . Also make sure to check out the forthcoming Crest Of Darkness album, Evil Knows Evil. For more information look at www.crestofdarkness.com.
Enthral is signed to Displeased Records of The Netherlands. The band is comprised of my interview partner Kjetil Hektoen (vocals/drums), Gunnhild Bratset (guitar), Ronny Hansen (guitar) and Martin Rafoss (bass). Subterranean Movement is now out and available at most heavy metal outlets.

Pennywise dancing to 'Shake It Off' will make your day
A new Twitter account has the creepy clown from 'It' grooving to a wild mix of songs
By Derek Lawrence
It (Movie)
A new Twitter account is tapping into Pennywise's "it" factor.
The demonic creature lives up to his full billing thanks to @Pennywise_Dance. On the parody account, the title character of Stephen King's horror novel It, who's also known as Pennywise the Dancing Clown, shows just how he got the moniker.
In director Andy Muschetti's hit film adaptation, Pennywise (played by Bill Skarsgard) does a creepy song-and-dance routine for young heroine Beverly (Sophia Lillis), and like all things, the internet has taken it and run with it. As a result, Pennywise can be seen dancing to a myriad of songs, ranging from Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" to "The Macarena."
Perhaps the best video comes from the account pandering directly to King, who months ago jokingly tweeted that "Mambo No. 5" would be the song he'd listen to for the rest of his life if there could only be one. Now he can watch his creation groove to the classic Lou Bega track.
See Pennywise bust a move below.

Canada Looks for Ways to Lift Mexico Visa Restriction (Audio) - Canada Immigration and Visa Information. Canadian Immigration Services and Free Online Evaluation.
Canada is under pressure to find a way to grant visa-free travel to Mexico ahead of an upcoming summit in Ottawa.
Mexico and the US will come to Canada for the 'Three Amigos' summit on June 29, with Justin Trudeau under pressure to make good on an election pledge to lift restrictions.
The main problem is cost – the need for a visa was imposed by the Conservatives in 2009 because of the overwhelming number of asylum claims from Mexico. The number of claims dropped from 9,000 to 1,199 as a result of the move, with associated costs falling from $304 million to $44 million.
Canada is understood to be considering waiting until it has the staff to monitor a potential influx of Mexicans, and threatening to re-impose the restriction if too many asylum cases are received.
Immigration Minister John McCallum says ways to offset the risks are being explored.
Mexico is understood to meet or be close to meeting the social and economic requirement for visa-free travel, according to immigration officials.
But it does not meet criteria involving visa refusals and violations.
Trudeau reiterated his intention to lift the restriction after he was elected, citing the benefits to Canadians via tourism dollars.
The Tourism Industry Association of Canada says $465 million was lost as a result of the restriction.
It is also rumoured Mexican President Enrique Pena Nieto may not turn up to the Ottawa meeting if the restriction is not lifted in time.
Romania, Bulgaria and Ukraine are among the other countries currently lobbying Canada for visa-free travel.
Canada would place itself in a difficult position if it lifts the restriction for Mexico, having told the other three countries they do not meet requirements.
Romania and Bulgaria are the only members of the European Union's Schengen zone requiring a visa to visit Canada. The EU wants this restriction lifted as part of a reciprocal deal that allows Canadians to move in the opposite direction. If the restriction is not lifted, Canadians are likely to require a visa to visit Europe, although the Schengen zone does not include Britain and Ireland.

Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon in Vatnajokull National Park, South East Iceland. It's truly spectacular to see the ice flowing down into the sea, and you can easily access this lagoon from the nearby main road. The sound of the icebergs crushing against each other punctuates the silence - even though it's very popular for visitors, everyone seems to want to stay quiet to soak up the experience. Truly a great wonder of the natural world.
A close up of the Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon at dawn, showcasing the different textures of the ice.
The Blue Lagoon in Grindivik, in the country's south west – a must for any visitor to Iceland. Originally a geothermic power plant, which still exists in the background, locals later discovered that the water also had therapeutic properties and started bathing in it. Today it's a huge spa with restaurants and even a swim up bar. However a word of warning - don't put your head under the water or the rich minerals will make your hair dry and brittle for weeks.
Svartifoss waterfall in Skaftafell in Vatnajökull National Park. Also known as the 'Black Falls', this legendary waterfall is characterised by the towering black basalt columns that surround it. You can reach it via a two-kilometre walk from the nearby carpark, which also features two other cascades along the way. Some visitors actually don't walk far enough and mistake one of the smaller falls for Svartifoss. Once at the impressive landmark however, it's advised you don't stand too close since the fragile black basalt columns can break off and plummet in the water at any moment.
Icelandic horses in Haugar. This trio of horses were just a few out of a larger grazing herd. The Icelandic people are very reliant on their horses for transportation and farming, particularly in the remote countryside.
Adorable red shed amid the immense grass plains near Hofn. This splash of vibrant colour creates such a welcome contrast in the middle of such desolation and vastness.
The incredibly beautiful coastline near Dyrholads. This area is just east of Vik, where the first Vikings lived in Iceland, and it definitely feels ancient. The black beaches have volcanic formations that are being wittled away by the thunderous ocean that pounds the shore. The force of the waves crashing is quite deafening and again highlights how powerful nature can be.
Seydisfjordur township is at the end of the Seydisfjordur Fjord; an amazing 17-kilometre stretch of mountains, waterfalls and the occasional village. The Smyril Line ferry travels from the tip of Denmark and makes this town a great tourist attraction. It's such a picturesque place with its brightly painted buildings, surrounded by gorgeous snowcapped mountains and waterfalls. No wonder the smiley locals seem so happy and welcoming, waking up to these views everyday!
Ice diamonds on the stark black sand of Jokulsarlon Beach. This is where the ice flow meets the sea - some days the ice flow is huge and other days it's smaller. These shards of ice look like jewels contrasting the dark sand, and like snow flakes, each has its own unique colours and textures.
Seydisfjordur Waterfall. The walk to these cascades is surprisingly easy and continues up behind the township of Seydisfjordur. The views from the top are well worth the effort.
Fjallsjokull glacier is found surprisingly close to the main Ring Road in Iceland's south east. It is incomprehensibly huge to see in person - the two people pictured in the foreground at the water's edge highlight the intimidating size of the glacier. Coupled with the vibrant colours, this is yet another awe-inspiring masterpiece by Mother Nature in Iceland.
Hali countryside, near Hofn in Iceland's south east. There are countless majestic mountains like this across the country, however this shot gives perspective of how tall these regular peaks really are with the farmstead at the foot. If you look closely you can also see waterfalls in every large crevice in the mountains.
Skogafoss waterfall in Skogar, southern Iceland. As one of the biggest tourist attractions in Iceland, it's not difficult to understand the appeal of this beastly waterfall, as a thundering flow of water spills over the 62-metre cliff face into the deep pool below, then serenely flows down the adjoining stream. You can climb a very steep staircase to the top, where the views, the crispness of the air and the mist of the waterfall bring this sensory experience to a whole new level.
The mighty Gulfoss waterfall in south west Iceland is the country's most recogniseable natural landmark. A mere photograph just doesn't do Gulfoss justice as there are so many angles to view this powerful and wondrous waterfall. There is constant eruption of mist that is sprayed upwards as the wide flow of water tumbles down ferociously into a narrow ravine. Rainbows are also a permanent fixture here during the day, adding to the photogenic nature of this landscape.
Looking back to Eyjafjallajokull in South East Iceland. Eyjafjallajokull is the volcano that erupted in 2010 stopping air traffic all over Europe for two weeks. It's quite striking to see the amazing cloud formation here above the crater, looking like it could explode again at any moment. Adding to the spectacle is the contrast of the fields of lava punctuated with tufts of grass trying to come back through again.
Next to the road near Steiner, this is one of hundreds of waterfalls that casually dot the landscape throughout Iceland. You can see how tall it is by the tiny sheep grazing on the hillside way down below.
From glacial floodplains and icy mountains, to thunderous volcanoes and otherworldly waterfalls, Iceland's diverse landscapes are as varied as they are downright spectacular.
Here photographer Tracy Ryan captures some of the Nordic island's most impressive vistas.
Since the beginning of my photography career, I've always been fascinated with the Aurora Borealis.
So after being told for years that Iceland is the best place to witness the spectacle (particularly at Jokulsarlon Glacial Lagoon in south east Iceland), I finally journeyed to this Nordic gem.
I knew it was a beautiful country but I wasn't prepared for just how striking and vastly different the landscape is at every turn.
In this collection of photos I wanted to capture just how magical the Iceland landscape is, in addition to the well-known northern lights that flicker in the nighttime skies.
What really struck me about this remote and wild country is the magnitude of everything.
The mountains, lakes, glaciers and waterfalls… all are enormous feats of nature that far surpassed what my imagination could have conceived.
Thanks sooooo much Andrew. 🙂 You just have to go, it's absolutely amazing!

Introducing the Ancient Greeks: From Bronze Age Seafarers to Navigators of the Western Mind (Paperback)
By Edith Hall
"Wonderful…a thoughtful discussion of what made [the Greeks] so important, in their own time and in ours." —Natalie Haynes, Independent
The ancient Greeks invented democracy, theater, rational science, and philosophy. They built the Parthenon and the Library of Alexandria. Yet this accomplished people never formed a single unified social or political identity. In Introducing the Ancient Greeks, acclaimed classics scholar Edith Hall offers a bold synthesis of the full 2,000 years of Hellenic history to show how the ancient Greeks were the right people, at the right time, to take up the baton of human progress. Hall portrays a uniquely rebellious, inquisitive, individualistic people whose ideas and creations continue to enthrall thinkers centuries after the Greek world was conquered by Rome. These are the Greeks as you've never seen them before.
Edith Hall is one of Britain's foremost classicists, having held posts at the universities of Cambridge, Durham, Reading, and Oxford. She is the author and editor of more than a dozen works and now teaches at King's College London.
