Wales is the smallest nation in mainland UK, but it is home, it’s said, to some of the largest, and best-known festivals in the world. The annual Welsh Fish Dancing Festival is not one of them. I was asked to post about it, by some prankster it seems.

Did they mean the Folk (not Fish) Dancing Festival, because there is one. I can post about the World Bog Snorkelling Championships or the National Welsh Rarebit Day, because these events actually happen. There is the The Cardigan River and Food Festival in Wales, which features seafood, but not fish dancing. After an extensive search, I find no mention of a Welsh Fish Dancing Festival on the web.

I did discover a site about the Wels fish (pictured above). I think there is a very good reason there is no annual Wels fish dancing festival. I did find a fish dancing video, but I can’t tell if the dancer is Welsh, Have a look and tell me what you think.

Redlight City's Serious Crime Team (SCT)

Led by Detective Chief Inspector (DCI) Michelle Hartley, operates as a specialized, high-stakes task force within the Redlight City Police Force. The team, consisting of Sergeant Madison Anderson, Officer Tara Crawford, Officer Charlie Forrester, and Officer Rachel Randell, are tasked with tackling some of the city's most dangerous and complex criminal activities.

With cutting-edge AI technology embedded in their uniforms, they can work more efficiently and with greater precision, ensuring that no criminal goes unnoticed or unpunished.

SCS Officer Equipment Overview:
Each officer in the Serious Crime Squad (SCS) is equipped with a miniature but highly
advanced microcomputer chip, surgically embedded at the base of the neck.

This chip is seamlessly integrated with their uniform’s high-tech collar unit, which incorporates secure voice technology. Once the collar is placed around the neck, a single touch activates the system, locking it in place and instantly enabling two-way communication between the chip and the officer.

Key Features:
Voice-Activated Operations:
Once activated, the collar enables hands-free voice commands, allowing officers to
access all police radio communications and issue instructions without manual devices.

Discrete Audio:
Communication is received through an ultra-compact, almost invisible micro earpiece
for clarity and discretion during operations.

Facial & Plate Recognition:
Each officer wears enhanced tactical glasses equipped with real-time Facial Recognition and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems. These are directly linked to the officer’s digital wrist communicator display, providing instant visual feedback from HQ databases.

On-Demand Information:
The wrist communicator receives and displays live intelligence and updates from
Control HQ, either upon request or automatically during live operations.

Seamless Vehicle Integration:
When an officer enters a vehicle, all personal communications and system access automatically transfer from wearable tech to the in-car interface, maintaining operational flow without interruption.

Command & Control:
The Serious Crime Squad operates under the constant support of a dedicated Control Centre at Police HQ, designed specifically to coordinate and manage real-time data exchange, surveillance support, and mission logistics.

Team Readiness:
All SCS officers are highly trained, with advanced certifications in firearms, taser deployment, and tactical response, ensuring they are fully prepared for high-risk, serious crime operations.

The Serious Crime Squad (SCS) is not your typical police unit.
Selected from the very best, each officer undergoes advanced specialist training designed to prepare them for the highest-risk operations in the city.

Tactical Readiness:
Every officer in the SCS is trained to exceed standard police competencies. This includes:

Firearms Certification:
Expert-level weapons handling, precision shooting, and tactical entry drills.

Taser Deployment:
Advanced control and takedown techniques using less-lethal force.
Close Quarters Combat (CQC): Defensive tactics, hand-to-hand combat,
and suspect control in high-stress environments.

Specialist Crime Investigation:
In-depth knowledge of drug trafficking, sexual assault, human trafficking,
forced prostitution, money laundering, armed robbery and siege situations.

Advanced Pursuit and Interception Training:
High-speed driving, pursuit strategies, tactical pursuit and containment (TPAC).

In conclusion:
This is a team of highly trained police officers not to be messed with.

In the face of so much ugliness, the only thing to do is answer with power and beauty. In the face of so much darkness, embrace the sun.

My newest song. If I don't do an other, I'll be happy with this. Enjoy.

Inspired by Jimmy Olsen's amazing Iceland: here is my very first full outfit: Viking Shieldmaiden. I have placed it at the Moana landing point so anyone who wants a copy can come and grab it. It's full perm, feel free to share or modify!

Last one for today, even I have a limit to cruelty!

The Arctic Henge is a monument to Asatru, the beliefs of the Old Norse. It is located in Raufarhöfn (*), the northernmost settlement of mainland Iceland.
The Arctic Henge is a site consisting of many stone arches and statues arranged as a monument to the Norse pagan beliefs. Specifically, the piece was inspired by Völuspá, a poem from Edda, the ‘Bible’ of Norse Mythology. Völuspá translates to the Prophecy of the Seeress.This poem describes both how the world was created and how it is doomed to end; it also describes the first man and woman created and catalogs many mythical characters, including the dwarves. 72 of these dwarves, who are said to be symbols of the seasons of the world, are represented at the Arctic Henge, each as an individual block inscribed with a name. These blocks encircle four greater stone arches, which in turn encircle a great column of four pillars. The stone arches on site are arranged to capture the light of the Midnight Sun as it moves across the sky in summer; on June 21st, for example, it aligns perfectly with the south arch. In this way, it is somewhat of a modern Stonehenge.

The Arctic Henge is still under construction. The central column, for example, will be tipped with a prism glass that refracts the sun’s light, and the Throne of the Sun, where you can sit to admire the celestial bodies, will soon be added. Also in the works are the Hall of Rays, a place designed for spiritual renewal, and the Altar of Fire and Water, where rituals, ceremonies, and weddings will be conducted.
(*) Raufarhöfn is located on the Melrakkaslétta Peninsula, which reaches the northernmost latitudes on the Icelandic mainland; only Grímsey, an island community on the Arctic Circle, is further north. As such, it is one of the country’s furthest settlements from the capital, Reykjavík, which sits in the south-east.
