Louisville Slugger baseball bat factory

The Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory, a museum located in Louisville, Kentucky's "Museum Row" in the West Main District of downtown, showcases the history of the Louisville Slugger brand of baseball bats made by Hillerich & Bradsby, and of baseball in general. Inside the production of the bats is presented, along with historical examples of bats (such as an 1880s Pete Browning bat they recently discovered or the bat that Babe Ruth used to hit his last home run as a Yankee). Outside is a six-story bat that appears to be leaning against the museum building but is completely free standing, the bat weighs 68,000 pounds. (It is billed as the world's largest bat, although it is hollow and made of steel.) The building also serves as their corporate headquarters and a production facility.

Home improvement

And now for something different
A personal post not related to stock photography nor image sales

After two weeks of preparations out painter has arrived today. All our belongings are packed in boxes all the big furniture is covered in plastic and now the dust begins

And next week I anticipate the joy, fun and excitement of unpacking all our junk from the boxes.
At least we have discarded a ton of stuff: clothes, books an encyclopedia that nobody wanted
I am hoping that next week, while we unpack we can get rid of another ton
Who needs belongings when you work from home and meet all your friends on facebook

Farming livestock and husbandry

Israel is considered a leader in agricultural methods and techniques. Fact is that Israeli farmers lead the world in at least two fields:
One is irrigation and water efficiency where I understand that drip irrigation technology developed here manages to produce more crop per water unit than any other method


The second world record held by Israeli dairies is the average milk production per cow


Other fields are Chicken coops for eggs AKA battery farming


Free roaming chicken coops for meat



Some sample images to follow
Enjoy

Starting at prehistoric sites like Tel Ubeidiya located 3 km south of Lake Tiberias, in the Jordan Rift Valley, Israel, an archaeological site of the Pleistocene, ca. 1.5 million years ago, preserving traces of the earliest migration of Homo erectus out of Africa. The site yielded hand axes of the Acheulean type. The site was discovered in 1959 and excavated between 1960 and 1974


And in the Carmel Mountain, Nahal Mearot (Cave River) nature reserve containing caves used by prehistoric men for 150 thousand years in three distinct cultures Acheulian culture, Muarian culture and mousterian culture. starting with Homo erectus and ending with Neanderthal

Purim Stock photography

Purim is a Jewish holiday that commemorates the deliverance of the Jewish people in the ancient Persian Empire from destruction in the wake of a plot by Haman, a story recorded in the Biblical Book of Esther. Where the uncle (Mordechai) pimped out his niece (Esther) to the king so she could sweet talk him while having sex

Having said that, it is the most enjoyable and fun Jewish holiday celebrated by both children and adults. Traditionally the costumes where characters from the story, but today it is a free for all dress-up parade
