43-410 Britannia was the name of the Roman province that covered most of Great Britain. The Romans personified the province as Britannia, a helmeted female warrior holding a shield and trident. The image was first used in classical antiquity and was revived. 1707-1801 (fair in context = women...and children...and the just) 1957-2023 Great Britain's Hawker Siddeley produced the first Harrier in the 1960s. The design began in 1957 with the P. 1127, which used the Bristol Pegasus vectored-thrust engine to explore vertical take-off. 2024

Air France 84 lands at San Francisco International Airport. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) standard is English, the only official “universal” language in civil aviation, which means that all official communications in the Air Traffic Control system must be available in English to be considered ICAO compliant. The pilots speak French and English to one another in the cockpit. The Boeing 777 flies south of the city, turns left over San Francisco Bay, and heads north to land at San Francisco International Airport. NUQ - Moffat Federal Airfield Airport is a special-use federal airfield serving NASA, military, law enforcement, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), and various civilian organizations. A student of mine went on a field trip to NUQ. San Francisco Bay is a dynamic tidal system, a complex estuary, and a closed embayment where fresh water and saltwater mix. Ocean tides enter and leave the Bay twice a day under the Golden Gate Bridge. Between high and low tides, changes in the surface of the water can be as much as nine feet. The white are the San Francisco Bay Salt Ponds, roughly 16,500 acres, that have been used as salt evaporation ponds since the California Gold Rush era. My good friend Josh sits right in that spot on the 777. So, fly United this Thanksgiving. SpaceX launched Starship, the most powerful rocket ever built, on its sixth test flight from South Texas. The rocket made a safe landing and stayed intact Tuesday night as it splashed down in the Indian Ocean. SpaceX opted to land the ship's super heavy booster in the Gulf of Mexico, rather than on land. Viewers were at East La Blanca Park on South Padre Island, TX. There are trips to South Padre Island and SpaceX Boca Chica Beach & Space City to see a launch.

The islands are a British Indian Ocean Territory, much like Guam is a U.S. territory, minus civilians. A B-2 Spirit takes off for an Operation Iraqi Freedom bombing mission while other aircraft from the 40th Air Expeditionary Wing prepare to launch from a forward-deployed location. The B-2's "stealth" characteristics give it the ability to penetrate an enemy's most sophisticated defenses and threaten its most valued and heavily defended targets. So, the Labor Government wants to hand over the islands to another country. MP Nigel Farage objected, saying Trump will veto any such move. Methyl thioacetate, which has a cheesy, garlic-like odor, and isovaleric acid, which smells like human sweat, contribute to the odor of the flower. Trimethylamine is the cause of the "rotten fish smell" toward the end of the flower's life.  photo licensed by US Botanic Garden
The Epoch Times, The Wall Street Journal, New York Post, and Forbes are national newspapers I read. They do honest reporting. Lodi is 35 miles south of Sacramento and 85 miles northeast of San Francisco. My parish draws farmers from even greater distances, in one case, 135 miles. Avivo -

Father Thomas Ewing Sherman, SJ, (1856 – 1933) fourth child and second son of Union Army General William Tecumseh Sherman and his wife Ellen Ewing Sherman, was an American lawyer, educator, and Catholic priest. Born in San Francisco when his father worked there as a bank executive, Tom's father rose in the ranks. When his superior, Ulysses S. Grant, became president, William was appointed commanding general of the army. Does the father of a priest address him as "Father"? Of course, but in private, the son returns to his former, subordinate self. Does a father go to his son for confession? Most sons would send their fathers to another priest, but not a dying father. This is a demonstration for other ballet teachers in Russian and English on how a boy partners a girl and what separates this sport (art form) from other sports where there is no interaction between the sexes. Ballet originated in the 1600s. It was not until the 1800s that girls went on pointe. Ballet teaches discipline, respect, and trust (25-minute mark). One of the boys picks up a girl's skirt after it falls on the floor. Sweet. I'm just an observer, so I can freely comment. The girl in cotton candy would send the average guy into a cosmic coma, but they are all fun to watch.
Les chevaliers du ciel translates to Sky Fighters, The Knights of the Sky. Sky Fighters is the name of a 2005 French film about two air force pilots stopping a Bastille Day terrorist attack. The music video stars French Air Force Mirage 2000 fighter jets. The movie is based on the comic series Tanguy et Laverdure, also adapted into a popular 1967-1969 TV series.
I rode that cable car to work every day during the summer of '73. It was almost empty at quarter past seven in the morning. Residents used the service. The son of Mr. Figoni of Figoni Hardware is a friend of mine.
As a patrol officer much later, I drove every one of the streets seen, sometimes as fast as I could go. No, I never flew over the crest of a hill (Bullitt). One would have to clear the streets to do that, and Steve McQueen was a racecar driver. Also photographed are the US Mint, San Francisco Art Institute, crooked Lombard, L Taraval, 22 Fillmore, 30 Stockton, and Cable Car Barn and Powerhouse, where cars were repaired and put to bed at night. When the cable (on big rollers under the street) broke, it was quite a jolt for the gripman. Seen Jon Provost from the television series, Lassie, is at his desk with 6th grade classmates and Sister Honora, CSC, at Good Shepherd Parish School, which opened on 9/8/1930 and remains the only Catholic school in Beverly Hills. Unseen Lassie, a fictional female Shepherd collie and played by a male, barked, "Not present."  1961
 Headline from the Associated Press (AP) By Rod McGuirk, Updated 11:46 PM PDT, September 5, 2024 “Pope to meet Papua New Guinea Catholics who embrace both Christianity and Indigenous beliefs” Swiss Guard, act! Bar Francis from reentering Vatican City. The Italian government cannot interfere, because Vatican City is a sovereign nation. Lateran Treaty Swiss Guard, act! Eject all bishops and cardinals therein, one by one. They are sissies and will not resist. The legal status of the Holy See, the ecclesiastical jurisdiction of the Catholic Church in Rome, both in state practice and according to the writing of modern legal scholars, is that of a full subject of public international law, with rights and duties analogous to those of states...the United Nations General Assembly confirmed and raised further the status of the Holy See as an observer within the UN, through its Resolution 58/314 of 16 July 2004. Wikipedia Could Pius XI have known that the Lateran Treaty would be the greatest treaty ever deliberated, liberating the Church from every human authority? Yes. It is right there in the prayers after low Mass.  Am I reeducating you? Fine. I've spent the last four years reeducating myself. Somehow, the things that occurred when I was eight, 10, 12, and mid-teens enabled me so to do. The new church duplicity has been anesthetizing the faithful since the beginning. Come join us.
Two towns in Nevada I love are Elko and Ely. I can't explain it. From out of these remote places came American mothers and their WWII sons and daughters. Grandma Louise's father was a gold assayer at Johnsville in Northern California. They came from Tombstone, circa 1898. See 1800s.

Here's a three-minute vid of some science & cross-dissolving still shots documenting my Alaskan experience with that spectacular aurora display of November 3-4, 2021. I just could not be bothered with shooting real-time video because I was having too much fun composing with my first passion & primary business; still photographer. Hope you enjoy... It's time to rise! Did you know that NASA has two American partners? SpaceX and Boeing.  image provided by NASA and the NSSDCA

 Martha's Vineyard, MA, waterfront property, with seven bedrooms, eight and a half baths, several stone fireplaces all for $12M, a shelter is important. Do they need this? With only four people living there, I don't think so. What is it? A showpiece. Were they rich before entering politics? No. Will God have mercy?
From Afghanistan to Vietnam, in fifty-two, mostly Muslim-majority countries, Catholicism is illegal or very persecuted. What's your reaction?
British and Americans rescued survivors, bro. Can't say the same for others.
These are unchartered waters for me in an oversexualized world, so here we go. Lonely Catholic and non-Catholic men, both single and married, are in abundance on Reddit and YT. Unless men are playing contact sports, and men over 40 get injured, remoteness is common, and working men find little time to fraternize. One does not have to be a biological father. A way of expressing what I have to say led me to these images: the first shows fun and the second shows affection. left: good, Unsplash
