Nectar Slurper

Photo of a flower taken in Melbourne Univeristy's Tin alley. The flower is a weird looking species and can easy gives people creeps looking at the patterns. I guess this should be a winter blooming flower.

Nectar, in botany, is a sugar-rich liquid produced by the flowers of plants in order to attract pollinating animals. It is produced in glands called nectaries, which are generally at the base of the perianth, so that pollinators are made to brush the flower's reproductive structures, the anthers and pistil, while accessing the nectar. Nectar that is produced outside the flower is generally produced to attract predatory insects. They will eat both the nectar and any plant-eating insects around, thus functioning as 'bodyguards'[1].

Nectar is economically important as it is the sugar source for honey. It is also useful in agriculture and horticulture because the adult stages of many predatory insects feed on nectar.

Moon In The Trees

Moon In The Trees

Taken in Trinity College. The moon was visible even during the day. Actually can roughly see the moon almost one whole day. maybe it's winter season.

The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite. It has no formal name other than "The Moon", although in English it is occasionally called Luna (Latin for moon), or Selene (Greek for moon), to distinguish it from the generic "moon" (natural satellites of other planets are also called moons). Its symbol is a crescent. The terms lunar, selene/seleno-, and -cynthion (from the Lunar deities Selene and Cynthia) refer to the Moon (aposelene, selenocentric, pericynthion, etc.).

The average distance from the Moon to the Earth is 384,403 kilometers (238,857 miles). The Moon's diameter is 3,476 kilometres (2,160 mi). Reflected sunlight from the Moon's surface reaches Earth in 1.3 seconds (at the speed of light).

The first man-made object to land on the Moon was Luna 2 in 1959, the first photographs of the otherwise occluded far side of the Moon were made by Luna 3 in the same year, and the first people to land on the Moon came aboard Apollo 11 in 1969.

Gum

Gum

Bubblegum sticked onto underneath on the tables in Baillieu Library. That table has a more colourful mixture of gum compared to the one underneath the table I was using. DISPOSE your gum PROPERLY!



To remove gum from clothes or other fabric items, harden the gum by applying an ice cube to it. It should be possible to scrape away the hardened gum from the fabric with a dull blade. To remove gum from hair, apply an oily substance such as vegetable oil or peanut butter.

HISTORY

The first bubble gum formulation, Blibber-Blubber, was developed in 1906 by Frank Fleer. However, the gum was never marketed.

According to a 1970s Smithsonian magazine article, Walter Diemer, an employee of the Frank H. Fleer Company, improved the Blibber-Blubber formulation in 1928, resulting in the first commercially successful bubble gum, Dubble Bubble.

However, the true inventor and patentee of Dubble Bubble has yet to be publicly acknowledged, mostly due to confusion created by a popular 1960s game show called What's My Line. Seeking the inventor of bubble gum to include in its line-up of guests, the writers for What's My Line consulted with the Frank H. Fleer Company. At 35 years subsequent to his invention of Dubble Bubble, the true creator of the Dubble Bubble formula, Gilbert Mustin, Sr., was deceased. Realizing that the publicity opportunity was too valuable to decline, the Fleer Corp. decided to cast Walter Diemer (Gilbert Mustin's accountant, who knew nothing about chemistry at the time of bubble gum's invention) as the charmingly haphazard inventor of bubble gum. In the 1970s, the Smithsonian magazine followed suit, publishing an article on the inventor of bubble gum, whom they claimed to be Walter Diemer. After interviewing the elderly Diemer, who at this point was consumed by senility, Smithsonian portrayed Walter Diemer as the undisputed hero of children across the world. To this day, Diemer is publicly acknowledged as the accountant who accidentally invented Dubble Bubble. So far, no publication has acknowledged the fact that Gilbert Mustin's name lies on the original 1928 patent for Dubble Bubble.

Gilbert Mustin colored his creation pink because it was the only food coloring he had at the time. Dubble Bubble's pink color set a tradition for nearly all bubble gums to follow.

During World War II, another gum manufacturer, The Topps Company, marketed a brand of bubblegum under the name Bazooka. Beginning in 1953, Topps added a small comic strip packaged with the gum featuring the character Bazooka Joe who became the newest craze in the bubblegum industry.

In 2000, Dubble Bubble instituted a national bubble blowing contest in the United States for children aged 12 and below held at branches of Wal-Mart. This has been repeated every year since then. In 2003, the contest spread to the United Kingdom.

Photons

Photons

Shot from a moving train while its turning. Camera ws set into Bulb mode so that length of shutters can be set as wish. the colourful of lights makes a pleasing line with the unusual green light which only appers when photographer is moving. Photons is the particles of lights. This term was invented as Lights can behave in wave or particle pattern.


Based on quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, the photon (from Greek φως, "phōs", meaning light) is the quantum of the quantized electromagnetic field (light). That is to say, quantized electromagnetic fields are made up of large numbers of photons, and the electromagnetic interaction is mediated by the exchange of virtual photons. The term photon was coined by Gilbert N. Lewis in 1926 and soon became the name for Albert Einstein's "light particle" proposed in 1905.

A photon is usually given the symbol γ, the Greek letter gamma, although in nuclear physics this symbol refers to a very high-energy photon (a gamma ray). In chemistry, photons are sometimes symbolized by hν, which is the amount of energy each photon represents (h = Planck's constant, ν the Greek letter nu symbolizing the photon frequency).

The waste hierarchy: reduce, reuse, recycle

The waste hierarchy classifies waste management strategies according to their desirability. The waste hierarchy has taken many forms over the past decade, but the basic concept has remained the cornerstone of most waste minimisation strategies. The aim of the waste hierarchy is to extract the maximum practical benefits from products and to generate the minimum amount of waste.

Some waste management experts have recently incorporated a 'fourth R': "Re-think", with the implied meaning that the present system may have fundamental flaws, and that a thoroughly effective system of waste management may need an entirely new way of looking at waste. Some "re-think" solutions may be counter-intuitive, such as cutting fabric patterns with slightly more "waste material" left -- the now larger scraps are then used for cutting small parts of the pattern, resulting in a decrease in net waste. This type of solution is by no means limited to the clothing industry. Source reduction involves efforts to reduce hazardous waste and other materials by modifying industrial production. Source reduction methods involve changes in manufacturing technology, raw material inputs, and product formulation. At times, the term "pollution prevention" may refer to source reduction.

Three

Three

Three, 3, tiga, 三. Numbers.

• Three is the first odd prime number, and the second smallest prime after two.
• Three is the first Fermat prime (2^2º + 1).
• Three is the first Mersenne prime (2² - 1).
• Three is the second Sophie Germain prime.
• Three is the second Mersenne prime exponent.
• Three is the first lucky prime.
• Three is the first Genocchi prime.
• Three is the second factorial prime (2! + 1).
• Three is the first unique prime due to the properties of its reciprocal.
• Three is the second triangular number.
• Three is the only prime which is one less than a perfect square. Any other number which is one less than a perfect square will be the product of the numbers one more than, and one less than, the square root of said square.
• Three non-collinear points determine a plane and a circle.
• Three is the fourth Fibonacci number and the third that is unique. It is also the second Lucas prime and the second Stern prime.
• Three is the fourth open meandric number.
• Vulgar fractions with 3 in the denominator have a single digit repeating sequences in their decimal expansions, (.000..., .333..., .666..., .999...)
• A natural number is divisible by three if the sum of its digits in base 10 is divisible by 3. For example, the number 21 is divisible by three (3 times 7) and the sum of its digits is 2 + 1 = 3. Because of this, the reverse of any number that is divisible by three (or indeed, any permutation of its digits) is also divisible by three. For instance, 1368 and its reverse 8631 are both divisible by three (and so are 1386, 3168, 3186, 3618, etc..). See also Divisibility rule.
• A triangle is the most durable shape possible, the only "perfect" figure which if all endpoints have hinges will never change its shape unless the sides themselves are bent.
• 3 is the only integer between e and π.

In science

• Three is the atomic number of lithium.
• White light is composed of the mixture of the three primary hues: red, green, and blue.

Astronomy

• Globular Cluster M3 (also known as Messier Object 3 or NGC 5272) is a globular cluster in the Canes Venatici constellation.

Three (三, formal writing: 叁, pinyin san1) is considered a good number in Chinese culture because it sounds like the word "alive" (生 pinyin sheng1), compared to four that sounds like the word "death".

Counting to three is common in situations where a group of people wish to perform an action in synchrony: Now, on the count of three, everybody pull! Assuming the counter is proceeding at a uniform rate, the first two counts are necessary to establish the rate, but then everyone can predict when "three" will come based on "one" and "two"; this is likely why three is used instead of some other number.

Some computer users may use "3" as an alternate to the letter "E", often in jest or to prevent search engines from reading their messages. This form of code is an example of basic Leetspeak.

Luck, especially bad luck, is often said to "come in threes".

Most cultures in history have a place for people of third gender.

• On computer keyboards, the "3" key may be used to type the pound sign.
• On most telephone keypads, the "3" key is also associated with the letters "D", "E", and "F".
• Three is approximately pi (actually closer to 3.14159) when doing rapid engineering wags or estimates. The same is true if one wants a rough-and-ready estimate of e, which is actually approximately 2.7183.
• Three is a mobile phone operator.

Tap

Tap

Shot outside Victorian College of Arts, there is this webbed tap near a tree.

Water for baths, sinks and basins can be provided by separate hot and cold taps; this arrangement is common in the UK, particularly in toilets. In kitchens, and in the U.S. and many other places, mixer taps are often used instead. This is a single, more complex, valve whose handle moves up and down to control the amount of water flow and from side to side to control the temperature of the water (achieved by mixing the hot and cold water together). Latest designs do this using a built in thermostat. Mixer taps are more difficult to fit in the UK than in other countries because traditional British plumbing provides hot and cold water at different pressures.

If separate taps are fitted, it may not be immediately clear which tap is hot and which is cold. In English-speaking countries, the hot tap generally has a red indicator and/or is labeled H or Hot. The cold tap generally has a blue or green indicator and/or is labeled C or Cold. Mixer taps may have a red-blue stripe or arrows indicating which side will give hot and which cold.

In some countries there is a 'standard' arrangement of hot/cold taps: for example in the United States the hot tap is generally on the left. This convention applies in the UK too, but many installations exist where it has been ignored.

Bishop Flower

Bishop Flower

This flower was shot outside one of Melbourne's Bishop house in Orman. As I am a flower illiterate, I shall call this Bishop Flower. Chandra and I was invited for a cup of tea.



A bishop is an ordained member of the Christian clergy who, in certain Christian churches, holds a position of authority.

The most important of these prince bishops was the Pope, who ruled as monarch of the Papal States by virtue of his title as Bishop of Rome. His claim to this fief rested on the forged Donation of Constantine, but in fact his authority over this kingdom in central Italy grew slowly after the collapse of Roman and Byzantine authority in the area. The Papal States were abolished when King Victor Emmanuel II took possession of Rome in 1870 and completed the reunification of Italy. This became a perennial source of tension between the Papacy and the government of Italy. In 1929, Pope Pius XI made a deal with the Fascist government of Benito Mussolini and became the independent sovereign of the Vatican, while giving up any rights to the rest of the former Papal States. He was recognised as an independent monarch by the Lateran Treaties, an authority the current Pope continues to hold. The only other bishop who is a head of state is the Bishop of Urgell, a Co-Prince of Andorra.

Three senior bishops served as Electors in the Holy Roman Empire. By the terms of the Golden Bull of 1356, the Archbishops of Mainz, Trier, and Cologne were made permanent electors, who chose the next Holy Roman Emperor upon the death of his predecessor. The Archbishop of Mainz was President of the Electors and Archchancellor of Germany. Likewise, the Archbishop of Cologne was Archchancellor of Italy, and the Archbishop of Trier was Archchancellor of Burgundy. A number of other bishops within the Holy Roman Empire, although not being Electors, were sovereign prince-bishops in their own lands.

Piano

Piano

This grand piano was shot in Jane King's House. Chandra moved in there about last week which gave me the chance to get the shot. It is made in New York in 1859. A really lovely and well preserved antique.



The piano produces sound by striking steel strings with felt hammers. Vibrations are transmitted through the bridges to the soundboard.

The word piano is a shortened form of the word pianoforte, which is seldom used except in formal language and derived from the original Italian name for the instrument, gravicèmbalo col piano e forte (literally harpsichord with soft and loud). This refers to the ability of the piano to produce notes at different volumes depending on how hard the keys are pressed.

Grand pianos have the frame and strings placed horizontally, with the strings extending away from the keyboard. This makes the grand piano a large instrument, for which the ideal setting is a spacious room with high ceilings for proper resonance. There are several sizes of grand piano. Manufacturers and models vary, but a rough generalisation distinguishes the "concert grand", (between about 2.2 m to 3 m long) from the "boudoir grand" (about 1.7 m to 2.2 m) and the smaller "baby grand" (which may be shorter than it is wide). All else being equal, longer pianos have better sound and lower inharmonicity of the strings. This is so that the strings can be tuned closer to equal temperament in relation to the standard pitch with less stretching. Full-size grands are usually used for public concerts, whereas baby grands are often chosen for domestic use where space and cost are considerations.

Upright pianos, also called vertical pianos, are more compact because the frame and strings are placed vertically, extending in both directions from the keyboard and hammers. It is considered harder to produce a sensitive piano action when the hammers move horizontally, rather than upward against gravity as in a grand piano; however, the very best upright pianos now approach the level of grand pianos of the same size in tone quality and responsiveness. However, one feature of the grand piano action always makes it superior to the vertical piano. All grand pianos have a special repetition lever in the playing action that is absent in all verticals. This repetition lever, a separate one for every key, catches the hammer close to the strings as long as the key remains depressed. In this position, with the hammer resting on the lever, a pianist can play repeated notes, staccato, and trills with much more speed and control than they could on a vertical piano. The action design of a vertical prevents it from having a repetition lever. Because of this, piano manufacturers claim that a skilled piano player can play as many as 14 trill (music) notes per second on grands but only seven on uprights. For recent advances, see Innovations in the piano.

Almost every modern piano has 88 keys (seven octaves plus a minor third, from A0 to C8). Many older pianos only have 85 keys (seven octaves from A0 to A7), while some manufacturers extend the range further in one or both directions. The most notable example of an extended range can be found on Bösendorfer pianos, two models which extend the normal range downwards to F0, with one other model going as far as a bottom C0, making a full eight octave range. Sometimes, these extra keys are hidden under a small hinged lid, which can be flipped down to cover the keys and avoid visual disorientation in a pianist unfamiliar with the extended keyboard; on others, the colours of the extra white keys are reversed (black instead of white). The extra keys are added primarily for increased resonance; that is, they vibrate sympathetically with other strings whenever the damper pedal is depressed and thus give a fuller tone. Only a very small number of works composed for piano actually use these notes. More recently, the Stuart and Sons company has also manufactured extended-range pianos. On their instruments, the range is extended both down the bass to F0 and up the treble to F8 for a full eight octaves. The extra keys are the same as the other keys in appearance.

Flinders

Flinders

Shot from Yarra River, I had my tripod at the time fortunately. I used the shoot and zoom technique to create the bizarre light trails. Flinders is the main train station in Melbourne with all the trains passing Flinders.


It is on the corner of Flinders and Swanston Streets next to the Yarra River in the heart of the city, stretching from Swanston Street to Queen Street and covering two city blocks. Each weekday, approximately 105,000 commuters and 1,500 trains pass through it.

The original analogue clocks were replaced for a short time with digital ones, but due to a public outcry analogue ones were quickly returned. Plans in the 1970s to demolish the station and replace it with an office building were soon dismissed.

• The main steps are embedded with electrical circuits to keep them dry, fitted in June 1985.
• Platform No. 1, where Epping & Hurstbridge line trains depart, is the longest railway platform in Australia, and the fourth longest in the world, at 708 metres long.
• The building contains a ballroom (not in use), and a creche was inside the main dome when the station's offices were still in use. It included an open-air playground on an adjoining roof.
• One of the original platform verandahs from the Melbourne Terminus building was dismantled and re-erected at Hawthorn station, in the inner-eastern suburbs.
• It is rumoured that the original plans of Flinders Street Station were designed for the central station of Mumbai (then Bombay), India, but were mixed up in the London office and sent to Australia instead. This perhaps explains the unusual (for Australia) arches and alcoves that feature in the Banana Alley section, which would have been intended for street vendors. Of course, this means that the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai should have been built at Flinders Street!

Cactus

Cactus

Shot in Trinity College somewhere behind Wynne Cottage. Trying to kill time, I zoom on this beautiful cactus. It was then I realised that it has spider webs on it. But who says that beautiful cannot be dirty?


Cacti are almost exclusively New World plants. This means that they are native only in North America, South America, and the West Indies. There is however one exception, Rhipsalis baccifera; this species has a pantropical distribution, occurring in the Old World in tropical Africa, Madagascar and Sri Lanka as well as in tropical America.

Like other succulents, cacti are well-adapted to life with little precipitation. The leaves have evolved into spines, which in addition to allowing less water to evaporate through transpiration than regular leaves, defend the cactus against water-seeking animals. Photosynthesis is carried out by enlarged stems, which also store water.

The word cactus is ultimately derived from Greek Κακτος kaktos, used in classical Greek for a species of spiny thistle, possibly the cardoon, and used as a generic name, Cactus, by Linnaeus in 1753 (now rejected in favor of Mammillaria). There is some dispute as to the proper plural form of the word; as a Greek loan into English, the correct plural in English would be "cactuses". However, as a word in Botanical Latin (as distinct from Classical Latin) "cactus" would follow standard Latin rules for pluralization and become "cacti", which has become the prevalent usage in English.

Yarra River

Yarra River

A view from the Yarra river facing the Southbank area. This was taken at dusk when the sky has a little shadow of blue. This was taken handheld supported on the railing along the Princes Bridge.



The Yarra's lower reaches travel through central Melbourne. It is approximately 242 kilometres in length, with a mean annual flow of 718,000 megalitres.

Most of the inner metropolitan section of the river remains contaminated from industrial and domestic waste dumping dating from Melbourne's early settlement. The worst of this was eliminated through the 20th century, and since the 1980s a concerted effort to clean up the river has reduced pollution markedly, though not enough to permit swimming below Dights Falls at present. The major source of bacterial contamination at present appears to be human sewerage leaking from Melbourne sewer system, as well as dog excrement being washed into the river.

Michelin

Michelin

Taken outside the Victoria College of Arts. The reflection on the stirking red paint is the Melbornian. The placing of the word Michelin was good so as to show part of it but still recognisable.



Michelin (full name: Compagnie Générale des Établissements Michelin) France, is primarily a tyre manufacturer. However, it is also famous for its Red and Green travel guides, for the Michelin stars the Red Guide awards to restaurants for their cooking, for its road maps, and for its historic emblem Bibendum, the Michelin Man.

Michelin stopped supplying Formula One teams in 1984 but returned to Formula One in 2001. Michelin's tyres were initially uncompetitive compared to rival Bridgestone's, however by 2005 Michelin were totally dominant. This was in part due to new regulations stating that tyres must last the whole race distance (and qualifying)

The company's symbol is Bibendum, the Michelin Man, introduced in 1898 by French artist O'Galop (pseudonym of Marius Rossillon), and one of the world's oldest trademarks. André Michelin apparently commissioned the creation of this jolly, rotund figure after his brother, Édouard, observed that a display of stacked tyres resembled a human form. Today, Bibendum is one of the world's most recognized trademarks, representing Michelin in over 150 countries.
