'Qing Dynasty Line of Control':
"" Maddog sent me these two beautiful 19th century maps of Formosa, showing clearly the line of Qing control as it was understood at the time. If you click on the maps, you'll be taken to the Flickr page where you can view them in various sizes.

These two maps are taken from the Reed collection, a wonderful collection of resources and maps about Taiwan. Here's the 19th century stuff. ""

'Most detailed pictures of Earth ever seen: Last updated at 17:51pm on 31st July 2007', Daily Mail.
Comments (10)

"" These spectacular images are the most detailed true colour pictures of the Earth that we have ever seen.

The clear images, released by NASA, were pieced together from observations taken from a satellite of the land surface, oceans, sea ice and clouds.

Using a collection of these satellite-based observations, NASA scientists have stitched together months of observations of the earth's surface and combined them to create a colourful mosaic of our living planet.

The device, which takes the images from 700 kilometres above the Earth, provides an integrated tool for scientists to observe and study a variety of earth life.

The images are based on observations, or pictures, collected over a period of roughly three months and were combined every eight days to ensure clouds were not blocking the sensor's view on any given day.

The Blue Marble images form part of NASA's Visable Earth catalogue which also provides pictures of earth by night as well as showing the extent of deforestation in Brazil from space. ""

'Sea-shanty festival a porthole on Brittany's mode de vie: An annual festival revives old Breton music – one aspect of the region's burgeoning cultural pride', by Susan Sachs: Contributor to The Christian Science Monitor, from the August 16, 2007 edition:

"" Paimpol, France - "The wind laughs in their eyes, these men with the scent of the ocean," sings Hervé Guillemer. "They have eyes that cry waves, these men on the jetties who yearn for the past, when life was as wide as the sea." ""
... ...
"" Over the past 20 years, Brittany, once derided as the unruly stepchild of France, and still considered one of its more obstinate family members, has declared its singularity proudly. An explosion of new bands has rediscovered Breton music, much of it similar to sea shanties of the British and Canadian coasts. Classes in Breton dancing and the Breton language are now common here.

At the Sea Shanty Festival earlier this month, just one of the cultural celebrations that bloom every summer weekend across Brittany, that pride was on full display. For three days, piers were crowded with men dressed as pirates, women in homely linen caps, and musicians singing sailor songs. Couples danced on docks; great circles of people stamped jigs.

Many regions of France were once, like Brittany, fiercely independent kingdoms in a Medieval patchwork, and still boast of distinct cuisines and costumes. One or two nurture the memory of languages long fallen out of use. But few embrace their difference as ferociously as Brittany, which revels in its own music, legends, and a certain swaggering pride.

These days, in fact, the revived identity is so strong that Brittany has splintered into micro-identities. Northern Brittany claims bragging rights over southern Brittany; coastal towns bicker over whose oyster beds are best. ""
