In 1970, photographer Chris Morphet (pictured below) travelled to the Shetland Isles to document the Fair Isle industry.
Here are some of those images.
The start of the production line...
Fair Isle knitting originated on the remote island of Fair Isle, which lies midway between the Orkney and Shetland.
The traditional knitwear of Fair Isle and its intricate skill have been practised continuously for generations upon generations.
Tea cosys and gloves.
And here's some we made earlier...
A close up of some of the intricate patterns.
Three Fishermen on the deck of their boat 'Planet' in the harbour of the Shetland Isle of Whalsay.
Crosses and lozenge shaped hexagons containing symbols, sometimes of a religious nature usually formed the basic OXO pattern.
This kid's earned his stripe.
The Fair Isle Post Office and telephone box.
This guy deserves a solo slot...
And lastly, the wee man.

Here is the link to Sondland’s full testimony: docs.house.gov/meetings/IG/IG…
Sondland says he saw Trump before his testimony and that the president told him to “go tell the truth”
White House counsel asked him to come in for an interview ahead of his testimony and he declined. Also says he spoke to Rick Perry ahead of his testimony to “refresh his memory” 🤦🏻‍♀️

Here is a thread of images from Hampi / ಹಂಪೆ

On the week of Kannada Rajyotsava, here is celebrating a place that gave birth to one of the greatest empires that history has witnessed.

To start with, a bird's eye view of the heart of the kingdom.

You can't not fall in love with this extraordinary land of heritage carved in stone. However, each visitor may be enchanted by something that only she/he can identify with. My own love affair is with the river, rocks, boulders and these magnificent pavilions of stone.
These pavilions of stone / mantapa / ಮಂಟಪ dot the landscapes of Hampi, often located beautifully at strategic locations, such as top of a hill or along a long passage.

Here's what I see in the lethargic response from most #ABAICon19 delegates towards the idea of condemning torture...
The ABAI leadership and conferencegoers actually don't care about human rights because they don't care about humans.
There's no point anymore in trying to persuade them to care. All that remains now is to show those who do care that the ABAI is a despicable institution, and that membership and adherence to its code of ethics is merely a pact of honour among thieves.

Here's the latest preprint from my lab. It's taken us a good few years to develop the methods to do this one properly, but I'm really pleased with the story we were able to assemble.. So, with your indulgence, here's the Twitter version of the paper. (1/n)
The story (as with all research) goes back a long way, to some curious observations in the early 90s. At this time, a couple of different groups independently identified mutant strains of mice with a biased sex ratio.

(2/n)
Biased sex ratios are profoundly weird from a genetic point of view - there are powerful natural selective forces that normal act to enforce a 50:50 ratio of male and female offspring.

Below is the Tesla short thesis in 20 simple, easy-to-comprehend points as I understand it today.

[Note: the below was inspired in good part by MontanaSkeptic's original work back in early 2018. Thank you Lawrence for your contribution and in doing real work.]
1. Valuation is obscene for a growth narrative that is breaking down.
2. Subsidies are ending (e.g.: federal tax credit went from $7.5k to $3,750 on Jan 1, going to $1,875 on July 1, and $0 on 1 Jan 2020)

Here's the truth about Brexit, the "punishment" some people claim the EU wants to inflict on us, the full horrific consequences of no deal, and the dangers lurking behind any deal we reach. Buckle in, it's pretty long. Better to be thorough than to leave anything out. 1/47
To leave the EU, we are following the rules laid down in Article 50. A50 is a short, simple document that explains how a country can choose to leave the EU. (The UK was fully involved with producing A50. Indeed, a Brit - Lord Kerr - even drafted it!) 2/47

As EU members, we currently benefit from over 750 international treaties. Some allow us to trade freely with the EU and 40+ non-EU countries. Others cover a host of other issues, from air worthiness to drivers licenses, UK & EU citizens rights, food safety, etc. 3/47
