Constructing datacenters accounts for 39 percent of their total carbon dioxide emissions, almost as much as operating them, according to an environmental analysis covering the entire lifecycle of a facility.…

Wat gij niet wilt dat u geschiedt, doe dat ook een ander niet. Maar daar heeft de wolf, de psychisch getroebleerde Syriër van het dierenrijk, natuurlijk weer nooit van gehoord. Het beest scheurt om de haverklap schapen en ander vee aan flarden en hoewel hij in tegenstelling tot de vos niet per se (maar soms wel) doet aan surplus killing (gewoon alles in de buurt afmaken) registreerde wolvenkliek BIJ12 tot oktober 2025 liefst 840 aanvallen op schapen en ander vee. NIEUW RECORD! Topprovincie wolvenaanvallen is Gelderland (434 aanvallen), topgemeente is Barneveld (130 aanvallen). De werkelijke aantallen liggen waarschijnlijk veel hoger, omdat (hobby)boeren niet verplicht zijn melding te doen van een slachtpartij. Volgens BIJ12 zijn wolvenaanvallen trouwens louter de schuld van de boer. Maar dat wist u al.

It was a beautiful day: very summery even though it was technically autumn time here when I took this photograph, and it was the perfect weather to go on a jaunt to the seaside with my dear friend to help her celebrate her birthday, and that is exactly what we did! We enjoyed her birthday at a very nice Italian restaurant by the ocean in Mordialloc, a seaside suburb of Melbourne. We ate delicious food and toasted to her health with French champagne. After our leisurely luncheon, we walked along the corniche and the pier (pictured here) where men sat quietly fishing whilst older teenagers bunked off school for the afternoon with the girls sunbathing in bikinis and the boys doing elaborate dives off the pier in an effort to capture the attentions of the pretty girls (some more successfully than others). Mordialloc Pier provides opportunities for fishing, temporary berthing or a pleasant walk with panoramic views. Alongside the pier runs the Mordialloc Creek which also offers fishing opportunities. Nearby foreshore reserves offer parking, toilets, playground, picnic and barbeque facilities. Jumping and diving off the pier and other structures is prohibited for public safety (not that the exuberant young men seemed to care about that). There are shallow areas and often unexpected, submerged objects there.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" for the 17th of January is "vanishing point". In photography, a vanishing point is the spot on the horizon where parallel lines (like railway tracks or a long road) appear to converge, creating a powerful illusion of depth and distance on a flat, two-dimensional image. I thought that this photographic memento of a lovely day with my friend, an image looking down along the Mordialloc Pier, was the perfect choice for this week’s theme. I hope that you like my choice, and that it makes you smile!
