While sitting in our snowy fall garden, this bald eagle and then its mate flew over me while scanning the Cannon Valley. I edited this as a high-key augmentation of its grace and beauty.
The down side of the augmentations, the duality of the enhanced human, is that the machine, the programming, is always trying to assert itself. To take over and control the man. it takes a disciplined mind to make sure that the human, not the programming, maintains control
Out of all cyber augmentation companies, Gomora Industries might have been the most notorious. Being on the forefront of cyborg researche, they required all their workers to be in some way cyber augmented and were often said to even experiment on them with new technology. the laboratories of the company were heavily guarded, often leaving visitors and business partners wondering, what in God’s name was waiting inside and hoping none of these abominations would ever escape. It was often suggested, that the company had ties to ultra progressive transhumanist groups and even terrorists, responsible for human trafficking and illegal cyber augmentation. While this could never be proven, the influx of new subjects for modification seemed suspiciously steady.

Here are my figures for the finale of the @figbarfcentral fig-off tournament. The topic was Cyberpunk. As the whole thematic complex of Transhumanism and Posthumanism is a focus of my studies and I am a big fan of Ghost in the Shell, I decided to focus on the cyborg aspect of the theme. I treated this figbarf as a study of how to create the weirdest Lego cyborgs, attaching as many non-minifigure parts to the figs as possible.
If you like these figures, please head over to @figbarfcentral on Instagram and vote for me in the tournament. Thank you all so much for you support!
In opposite to common assumptions, the fully advanced military of Greater Argentina is not far behind the world market leaders in terms of infantry technology. In fact, its small troop size is a result of its degree of infantry augmentations and the high costs per unit. In worldwide comparison, Graeter Argentine troops are close to on par with their Pan Asian and European counterparts.

"Canada is the best country in the world." Justin Trudeau
The estimated number of homeless people in Canada ranges from 150,000 to 300,000, and the figure has been rising.
(Canada committed $9.5 billion in lethal and non-lethal military assistance and equipment to Ukraine since the beginning of the war.)
"Le Canada est le meilleur pays au monde." Justin Trudeau
Le nombre estimé de sans-abri au Canada varie entre 150 000 et 300 000, et ce chiffre est en augmentation.
(Le Canada a engagé 9,5 milliards de dollars en assistance et en équipement militaires à l’Ukraine depuis le début de la guerre.)
The camera view from a satellite after it unfurled a sail like a ship of old – although its purpose was not to start a journey but only hasten its fall back to Earth.
The Drag Augmentation Deorbiting System Nano (ADEO-N) – a 3.6-sq-m aluminium-coated polyamide membrane attached to four metallic booms – deployed from a 10 cm box aboard the ION Satellite Carrier. Launched in 2021, this is a satellite platform flown by D-ORBIT in Italy, used to deliver miniature ‘CubeSats’ into their individual orbits.
By increasing the overall area of the satellite, ADEO-N sail will increase the gradual air drag acting upon it from atoms at the top of the atmosphere, and speed up its atmospheric reentry accordingly.
The technology was developed by HPS in Germany through an ESA General Support Technology Programme project, developing and testing promising space technologies. Previous versions have already been deployed but this in-flight test represented the final technological proof-of-concept for the ADEO family.
ESA structural engineer Tiziana Cardone oversaw the project: “The ADEO-N sail will ensure that the satellite will reenter in around one year and three months, while otherwise it would have reentered in four to five years.”
The aim is to contribute to ESA’s Zero Debris Initiative – as ESA Director General Josef Aschbacher has remarked: “If you bring a spacecraft to orbit you have to remove it.”

Les parulines à tête cendrées étaient très communes cette année. Je n'ai jamais autant observé de cette espèce. C'est aussi ma première année à prendre spécifiquement des vacances consacrées à la photo. J'aimerais bien savoir si les décomptes de parulines ont observées une augmentation particulière des têtes cendrées par rapport aux autres espèces.
Magnolia warblers were very common this year. I never had so much of this species. It's also my first year to specifically take a vacation dedicated to bird photography. I would like to know if the counts of warblers have observed a particular increase of Magnolia compared to other species.

Mt Baldy (in the back there) and downtown Los Angeles were photographed from the same location, on the same day and at the same time, but Mt Baldy is, in reality, about 20° (give or take) to the right. I just thought she would look a little better with her little snow toque on, shifted to the left, and looming over the downtown skyline.

Excerpt from rocktoroad.com:
The former Milton Limestone Quarry in the Town of Milton, Region of Halton, is on the edge of the province’s major population centre: the Greater Toronto Area. The quarry opened in 1958 along with others in the local area to provide construction materials to build the new provincial Highway 401.
The strategic location near Toronto has made the site an excellent one for supplying aggregates to Canada’s largest market. It is situated on the physiographic feature known as the Milton Outlier on the Niagara Escarpment, which is an excellent source of high quality Silurian Amabel dolostone. The outlier had active quarries and lime kilns in the early 1900s. The quarry supplied one million tonnes per year of crushed stone for construction uses for over 40 years until operations ended in 2001.
The strategic location of the site also makes the rehabilitated quarry a prime candidate for public use. Not only is it less than 50 km on provincial highways from downtown Toronto and Hamilton, it is situated in a scenic and rich natural area of the Niagara Escarpment. Over a thousand hectares nearby are already in public ownership, visited by thousands of residents and tourists each year for skiing, hiking, rock climbing, swimming, boating and outdoor education.
The site is in the Niagara Escarpment Plan Area, within the Province’s Greenbelt.
The Greenbelt is an area of over 700,000 hectares of green space that the province established in 2005 to preserve the natural resources from urban development.
Lands adjacent to the site are owned by Conservation Halton, a local environmental agency that operates on a watershed basis. A major function of Conservation Authorities is protecting watersheds through ownership and management of lands, which are also used for public education and recreation. One of their public parks is the Kelso-Glen Eden Conservation Area, which is immediately next to the former quarry. This park includes a major ski area, extensive trails above the escarpment and a reservoir (Lake Kelso). While the main function of the reservoir is for flood control and stream flow augmentation, it is also a major recreation facility for swimming and boating.
The active life as a fully working quarry was followed by a second stage of 10 years where the final rock was recovered during site rehabilitation. The quarry was donated to the Conservation Authority in August 2006. In its new life as a public conservation and recreation area, it joins several other former quarries in the Region of Halton that contribute natural heritage and recreation values as public parks.
When the quarry approached the end of its operating life in the mid-1990s, Conservation Halton recognized the potential value of the site as an addition to its existing Kelso-Glen Eden Conservation Area. They negotiated with the owner, Barrick Gold Corporation, to donate it when fully extracted and rehabilitated. Lands to be donated included the rehabilitated quarry and the adjacent 700 m swath of natural forest and cliffs that had been protected from extraction within the 71 hectare licensed area.
The natural forest and cliffs are ecologically significant and will be protected in a Nature Reserve “Special” zone in the Master Plan to be completed by Conservation Halton. The University of Guelph’s Cliff Ecology Group discovered an old growth forest of eastern white cedar there in the mid-1990s, and the Nature Conservancy of Canada has expressed interest in helping to provide support to protect this ecosystem.
The approved rehabilitation plan included a 5-metre deep lake in part of the quarry floor and identified recreation as a possible after-use.
The rehabilitation was particularly innovative in the approach to cliff and slope creation to produce varied landforms, and the configuration of the lake in the quarry floor to make it suitable for a public recreation area.
A detailed rehabilitation plan designed by staff at Conservation Halton guided the final extraction of the quarry floor. The lower few metres of the excellent Amabel Formation and some of the underlying Reynales Formation were extracted to recover the last remaining bedrock resource and create the final lake configuration. The lake design included shallow areas and shoals for fish habitat, and also areas for future public beaches. Lake levels were determined as part of a hydrogeological study. Levels are managed by a small weir structure, allowing gravity outflow for the spring freshet or storm water events into a defined open channel, which then flows through a buried drainage channel that eventually surfaces at the edge of the escarpment.
Over the years, the company used several grass and legume mixtures to stabilize the slopes and quarry floor, and planted native trees on the slopes. As a result of the outstanding success of the final rehabilitation, the Ontario Stone, Sand and Gravel Association (OSSGA) awarded Barrick Gold the prestigious Outstanding Achievement in Property Rehabilitation Award in 2007.
Today, the former quarry site is an exceptionally beautiful property set within the surrounding natural area of the escarpment and Conservation Halton has trails that run along the western edge of the property. These trails also connect to the Bruce Trail, which is an 845 km public hiking trail that runs along the Niagara Escarpment from Niagara Falls to Tobermory. The property itself is not yet open to the public.
Conservation Halton views the Kelso Quarry Park as an excellent example of rehabilitation and plans to implement the installation of park infrastructure and facilities befitting this spectacular regional escarpment park.
Central nervous system[edit]
Data is accumulating that air pollution exposure also affects the central nervous system.[58]
In a June 2014 study conducted by researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center, published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, it was discovered that early exposure to air pollution causes the same damaging changes in the brain as autism and schizophrenia. The study also shows that air pollution also affected short-term memory, learning ability, and impulsivity. Lead researcher Professor Deborah Cory-Slechta said that "When we looked closely at the ventricles, we could see that the white matter that normally surrounds them hadn't fully developed. It appears that inflammation had damaged those brain cells and prevented that region of the brain from developing, and the ventricles simply expanded to fill the space. Our findings add to the growing body of evidence that air pollution may play a role in autism, as well as in other neurodevelopmental disorders." Air pollution has a more significant negative effect of males than on females.[59][60][61]
In 2015, experimental studies reported the detection of significant episodic (situational) cognitive impairment from impurities in indoor air breathed by test subjects who were not informed about changes in the air quality. Researchers at the Harvard University and SUNY Upstate Medical University and Syracuse University measured the cognitive performance of 24 participants in three different controlled laboratory atmospheres that simulated those found in "conventional" and "green" buildings, as well as green buildings with enhanced ventilation. Performance was evaluated objectively using the widely used Strategic Management Simulation software simulation tool, which is a well-validated assessment test for executive decision-making in an unconstrained situation allowing initiative and improvisation. Significant deficits were observed in the performance scores achieved in increasing concentrations of either volatile organic compounds (VOCs) or carbon dioxide, while keeping other factors constant. The highest impurity levels reached are not uncommon in some classroom or office environments
空氣污染係指一啲危害人體健康同周邊環境嘅物質對大氣層所造成嘅污染。呢啲物質可以係氣體、固體或液體懸浮物等。生物日常呼吸嘅空氣，係由多種氣體所組成，最普遍體元素係氮，其次係氧。每種氣體體成份都有少少唔同，會有輕微嘅轉變。如果空氣中嘅污染物數量少嘅話，對人體同環境嘅影響會比較輕微，不過當呢啲污染物增加到危險嘅水平，就要諗辦法將佢哋從空氣度消除。
害處[編輯]
空氣污染有損健康同會令人感到唔舒服，呢個係每個人都應關注嘅問題。細路、老人家同患有心肺功能毛病嘅人，最容易受到周圍嘅空氣污染所影響。污染嘅空氣亦會損害生活質素。而且，如果長期吸入過量含污染物嘅空氣，就會覺得唔舒服，重會對健康造成長期不良嘅影響。
Le développement industriel rapide de la Chine provoque une augmentation de la pollution atmosphérique, en particulier dans les grandes agglomérations du pays90.
En 2007, la Chine devrait dépasser les États-Unis en termes de rejet de CO2 et devenir le premier pays pollueur du monde : les émissions de dioxyde de carbone devraient passer de 5,6 milliards de tonnes en 2006 à 6,02 cette année, ce qui représente environ 22 % du total mondial91. mais en même temps, vu la démographie de la chine qui fait 22 % de la population mondiale, cela fait un taux de pollution de 4,42 tonnes par habitant, encore bien inférieur à celui de la France qui est égal à 5,95 tonnes par habitants92.
En 2006, la Chine est le premier pays du monde pour les émissions de dioxyde de soufre, qui ont progressé de 27 % entre 2000 et 200558. Le dioxyde de soufre est aussi un composant de la formation des pluies acides, nuisibles aux écosystèmes tels que les forêts et les lacs. Selon le New York Times, « La Chine va supplanter les États-Unis en tant que premier émetteur de CO2 d’ici à 2009 »93. Les émissions d’oxydes d’azote et de dioxyde de soufre sont 8 à 9 fois plus élevées que dans les pays développés94.
Les conséquences de la pollution atmosphérique sur la santé des Chinois sont dramatiques : on estime qu'elle est responsable de 358 000 décès et 640 000 hospitalisations en 200494.
En tant que pays émergent, la République Populaire de Chine n'est pas contrainte à respecter le protocole de Kyoto. Pourtant, le pays est affecté par le réchauffement global de la Terre : 80 % des glaciers de l'Himalaya se sont réduits, ce qui a des conséquences sur les cours d'eau qui naissent dans ces montagnes et coulent en Chine. En 2006, le Sichuan a connu une grave sécheresse.
Le 21 février 2011, la pollution de l'air à Pékin bat un record, selon le service d'observation de l'ambassade des États-Unis de Pékin95.
La qualité de l’air ne respecte pas les normes de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé dans 495 des 500 plus grandes villes chinoises. Une nouvelle loi de protection de l’environnement va entrer en vigueur en 2015, avec des amendes quotidiennes, et nettement plus dissuasives qu’auparavant, pour les pollueurs, ainsi que des inspections pour vérifier les émissions de polluants des usines ; 180 sociétés, souvent de grands groupes d’État, se sont vu intimer l’ordre de publier quotidiennement leurs niveaux d’émission de polluants source wikipédia

Très bonne nouvelle pour Pistache : depuis l'augmentation de son traitement il y a un mois, ses valeurs thyroïdiennes se sont normalisées (même si à la limite supérieure) et elle est repassée tout juste au-dessus de 3kg. C'est toujours trop peu, mais ça fait du bien de savoir que son poids est remonté plutôt qu'une fois de plus descendu.
Very good news for Pistache: since the increase in her treatment a month ago, her thyroid values have normalized (even if at the upper limit) and she is again just over 3kg. It's still too little, but it's good to know that her weight has gone up rather than once again down.

Trying out Luminar4's new Sky Augmentation filter just for fun.
The original sky behind this chickadee was a cloudy grey. The mountains are fake too.
In urban situations where the risk of predation is reduced, both white-colored and black-colored individuals are quite often found. The melanistic form, which is almost entirely black, is predominant in certain populations and in certain geographic areas, such as in large parts of southeastern Canada. Melanistic squirrels appear to exhibit a higher cold tolerance than the common gray morph; when exposed to −10 °C, black squirrels showed an 18% reduction in heat loss, a 20% reduction in basal metabolic rate, and an 11% increase to non-shivering thermogenesis capacity when compared to the common gray morph. Source: Wikipedia
Dans les situations urbaines où le risque de prédation est réduit, on trouve assez souvent des individus de couleur blanche et noire. La forme mélanique, qui est presque entièrement noire, est prédominante dans certaines populations et dans certaines régions géographiques, comme dans une grande partie du sud-est du Canada. Les écureuils mélaniques semblent présenter une tolérance au froid plus élevée que la forme grise commune ; lorsqu’ils ont été exposés à -10 °C, les écureuils noirs ont montré une réduction de 18 % de la perte de chaleur, une réduction de 20 % du métabolisme de base et une augmentation de 11 % de la capacité de thermogenèse sans frisson par rapport à la forme grise commune.

Southern Memories - in this shot we see vintage 4-SUB unit at the platform at Clapham Junction. From my logbook notes, I jumped on after taking this shot and rode the unit (driving coach S12688S) to Waterloo - transferring to the other end in unit 4630 (driving coach S11319S) for the ride back out of Waterloo to Clapham Junction :)
Note the guy staring me out on platform left! And I'm pretty sure it's my friend Tim Proudman superb50002 legging it for the train stage right :)
And here are Tim's notes from the day:
We did various units in the morning before heading over to bash the Selsdon for the very last time.
Morning Highlights include -
4SUB 4719 cab ride Bookham to Epsom, where we alighted and continued on to Sutton....for
4EPB 5425 cab ride Sutton to Wimbledon ("Wall of Death")
and haulage behind 5763, 5725 on the Selsdon line.
We did - Elmers End to Bingham, Bingham to Elmers End, then to Coombe Road and Sanderstead, back to Elmers End, back to Selsdon to Elmers End, back to Sanderstead, and back to Elmers End. This was the last move / last train, formed 5720 and 5209.
4-SUB bashing! In the summer of 1983, whilst enjoying my first year as a Geography undergraduate at Kingston Polytechnic, me and my good friends Tim Proudman and the sadly late Llew Griffith spent many happy hours riding around the rails of the Southern Region! One of our top targets was to get some 4-SUB rides before the demise of the class in October 1983. This day was one of those occasions.
My bashing friends and I spent some time clearing all the passenger routes on the Southern Region when we were at Kingston Polytechnic back in 1982-1985. During this period, we had many a ride on the old 4-SUB units which were finally withdrawn from service in 1983. We noticed a collection of the units withdrawn in the old Hither Green Continental Sidings, and managed to gain entrance for a good look around one day in the late autumn of 1983. ***I still have a full set of 4-SUB stencils in my garage - courtesy of Llew Griffith (FOR SALE if anyone's interested!) - and our raid on Hither Green sidings in November 1983 - see comments section below :)***
History of individual units
4621-4754 4-Sub 1949–1951 DMBTO+TT+TT+DMBTO Most cars had new bodies on old frames, though some were entirely new build. 4667-4754 included an Augmentation trailer from withdrawn units.

Poultry: Weak. Unintelligent. Delicious. But no more. Mankind's only remaining food source has been converted to the ultimate weapon against the evil alien overlords.
Once known as a flightless bird, Mega Chicken now owns the skies with its enhanced flight capabilities made from technology so cool, its wings are literally made out of swords.
With powerful exo-armor permanently grafted into Mega Chicken's flesh and our most cutting edge cyberpathic neural programming, Mega Chicken's reflexes are faster than a lightning bolt and its intuition is borderline precognitive. Avoid any further thermonuclear skirmishes by eliminating the alien threat before they even see it coming.
Our most versatile combat system yet, Mega Chicken supports different activity modes to adapt to any situation and instantly improvise to any changing factor.
Attack mode for targeting and engaging multiple targets on land and in the air.
Stealth mode allows zero detection for reconnaissance missions too dangerous or too precise for any other pilot or drone.
Grazing mode to refuel and reload.
Have the strength and firepower of an entire fleet of airships in a single combatant—and with an entire fleet of Mega Chickens in Earth's airspace, the rate of success can be only exponential, guaranteed.
The choice is clear. Donate your stock of poultry to an augmentation farm in your nearest quadrant and receive a hypersleep kit and that will grant you and your family access to the subterranean hibernation fields. You will be re-awoken to find our planet reclaimed and will live out your remaining days in a more peaceful age.
(Happy Easter!)
On the 28th July 1540 Thomas Cromwell, who had for served as chief minister to King Henry VIII, was executed at Tower Hill in London. For nearly ten years Cromwell was one of the strongest and most powerful proponents of the English Reformation, coming to the fore through his engineering of the annulment of Henry’s marriage to Catherine of Aragon in 1533. During his years in power, he skillfully managed Crown finances and extended royal authority. In 1536, he established the Court of Augmentations to handle the massive windfall to the royal coffers from the Dissolution of the Monasteries. He strengthened royal authority in the north of England through reform of the Council of the North, extended royal power and introduced Protestantism in Ireland, and was the architect of the Laws in Wales Acts 1535 and 1542, which promoted stability and gained acceptance for the royal supremacy in Wales.
During this period Cromwell made many enemies and there were no shortage of those who would try and to oust him from his position of power. In 1540 he arranged for Henry to marry the German Princess Anne of Cleves, who Cromwell hoped would help breath fresh life into the Reformation in England and help protect England against the possibility of a French / Imperial alliance. This appears to have been a costly mistake, as the king was reportedly shocked by her plain appearance and Cromwell was accused of exaggerating her beauty. The wedding ceremony took place on January 6th at Greenwich, but the marriage was not consummated. For Cromwell’s conservative opponents, most notably the Duke of Norfolk, the King's anger at being forced to marry Anne was the opportunity to topple him they had been waiting for.
Cromwell was arrested at a Council meeting on June 10th and accused of various charges. His initial reaction was defiance: "This then is my reward for faithful service!" he cried out, and angrily defied his fellow Councillors to call him a traitor. A Bill of Attainder containing a long list of indictments, including supporting Anabaptists, corrupt practices, leniency in matters of justice, acting for personal gain, protecting Protestants accused of heresy and thus failing to enforce the Act of Six Articles, and plotting to marry Lady Mary Tudor, was introduced into the House of Lords a week later and passed on June 29th.
All Cromwell's honours were forfeited and it was publicly proclaimed that he could be called only "Thomas Cromwell, cloth carder". The King deferred the execution until his marriage to Anne of Cleves could be annulled: Anne, with remarkable common sense, happily agreed to an amicable annulment and was treated with great generosity by Henry as a result. Hoping for clemency, Cromwell wrote in support of the annulment, in his last personal address to the King. He ended the letter: "Most gracious Prince, I cry for mercy, mercy, mercy."
Cromwell was however condemned to death without trial, lost all his titles and property and was publicly beheaded on Tower Hill on July 28th 1540, on the same day as the King's marriage to Catherine Howard. The circumstances of his execution are a source of debate: whilst some accounts state that the executioner had great difficulty severing the head, others claim that this is apocryphal and that it took only one blow. Afterwards, his head was set on a spike on London Bridge.
The king later expressed regret at the loss of his chief minister and later accused his ministers of bringing about Cromwell's downfall by "pretexts" and "false accusations".

"A Golden Shadow oversees Hades Colony. The Metropolis of Crime, Augmentation, and Underground Capital of Mars. Home of the Kakusareta Akuma, and Keeper of many dirty little Secrets."
The third and newest location within the Cocoon Lore: Hades Colony, set on Mars. The massive megacorporation that rules over Mars: Advanced Research and Experimental Systems (A.R.E.S) cleansed the colony and allowed a new kind of evil in. And by cleansed I mean absolutely massacred the living hell out of a Cartel in the Colony. Criminal Oriented Characters can now reach Hades Colony and call it home. With Districts such as the oppressive Slums, the enticing Red Light District, the heavy duty Industrial District, the mysterious Faith Center, and the many ways in and out of the colony, criminal oriented characters can feel free from Corporate Law persecution, and from corporate scrutiny. Martian Citizenship may be obtained for a few more bonuses on the Colony.
The Colony represents the oppressive and darker side of the Undeground and it requires you to be strong enough to survive, to exercise your power, and to make a name for yourself.

En mer, les bas-fonds et les obstacles peuvent constituer un danger caché pour la navigation. Celles-ci sont indiquées sur les cartes marines des zones à fort trafic. Un bon positionnement et une carte marine sont une nécessité pour éviter ces dangers. Une aide supplémentaire consiste à signaler le danger en plaçant des balises. En mer, une balise largement utilisée est la bouée.
Pour indiquer l'emplacement du danger, des bouées de formes, de couleurs, de voyants et de lumières diverses sont utilisées selon un système disposé. Système de balise. Chaque région avait son propre système. En raison de l'augmentation du trafic international, le besoin d'un système général s'est fait sentir pour plus de clarté.
Le marquage cardinal est un moyen de baliser les obstacles tels que les bancs et les épaves. La forme et le signal lumineux dépendent de la position de la voie d'eau sûre par rapport à la bouée. L'Association internationale des autorités des phares a établi ce système au niveau international dans le système de flottabilité maritime de l'AISM (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities).
La bouée Nieuwpoortbank est une bouée cardinale Ouest. Les pointes des cônes se dirigent l'une vers l'autre et la couleur est jaune-noir-jaune.
La bouée Nieuwpoortbank est une bouée flottante ouest du système de bouées cardinales.

At sea, shallows and obstacles can constitute a hidden danger to navigation. These are shown on nautical charts of high traffic areas. A good positioning and a nautical chart are a necessity to avoid these dangers. An additional help is to signal the danger by placing beacons. At sea, a widely used beacon is the buoy.
To indicate the location of the danger, buoys of various shapes, colors, lights and lights are used according to an arranged system. Beacon system. Each region had its own system. Due to the increase in international traffic, the need for a general system has arisen for greater clarity.
Cardinal marking is a way to mark obstacles such as benches and wrecks. The shape and the light signal depend on the position of the safe waterway in relation to the buoy. The International Association of Lighthouse Authorities has established this system internationally in the IALA (International Association of Lighthouse Authorities) Maritime Buoyancy System.
The Nieuwpoortbank buoy is a West cardinal buoy. The tips of the cones point towards each other and the color is yellow-black-yellow.
The Nieuwpoortbank buoy is a western floating buoy in the cardinal buoy system.

Class 207 type 3-D DEMU set no. 1302 is seen emerging from Grove Hill Tunnel into Tunbridge Wells Central with train 2L24 the 12.34 Eridge to Tonbridge.
1302 receive TOPS set number 207 002 in August 1986 as a 3-car set. From March 1992 it was reduced to a 2-car set for use on the Hastings - Ashford line and renumbered 207 103 with the intermediate trailer 60601 being scrapped in May 1992. Then in May 1995 the unit was selected for augmentation with a 4-CEP EMU centre coach 70286 and was reclassified as a 3-MAG (Marshlink Additional Gangway) and renumbered 207 203. Against all odds it then became the last class 207 unit in service being withdrawn in January 2005. It was saved for preservation as a 2-car formed of vehicles 60127+60901 as the intermediate EMU coach 70286 went to Immingham for scrap. The unit is now to be found on the Swindon & Cricklade Railway.

La version précédente de ce modèle était plutôt bien réussie, mais je n'ai jamais aimé ses cornes. J'ai donc tenté une version améliorée avec: meilleures cornes, personnage plus défini avec moins de demi-divisions, gueule plus profonde, nez et mâchoire séparés, augmentation du nombre de dents de 50%. J'aime beaucoup l'effet des pupilles plus visibles si on regarde du point de vue du personnage. Les yeux étaient sensés être plus rapprochés du nez, mais les épaisseurs du modèles en ont fait autrement (visible au niveau de la bouche.) Cette version peut également avoir une bouche plus ouverte ou fermée. Malgré toutes les modifications apportées, cette version reste très similaire à la précédente.
The previous version of this model was well done, but I never liked its horns. I then tried an upgraded version with: better horns, more defined character with less semi-divisions, deeper maw, separated nose and jaw, number of teeth increase by 50%. I really like the effect of the pupils more visible when seen from the character's point of view. The eyes were supposed to be closer to the nose, but the layers of the model gave a different effect (visible on the mouth). This version can also have its mouth more opened or closed. Even with all the modifications, this version remains quite similar to the previous one.
Though small, Sir Manx Silverwing is widely recognized as one of the finest warriors the Silver Claw Order has ever produced.

A failed Peregrine clutch. Always so disappointing to come across at Peregrine nest sites. This ledge was flooded in heavy rains and without adequate drainage it simply goes pair shaped for them. In recent years we have been trying to help various pairs of Peregrines by making some 'changes' to the ledge in order to afford them better protection from such cases. Unfortunately not all ledges conducive to augmentation though. Hoping for a better result this season.
I just got my breast augmentation last week and I'm healing well..I hoping to get some pix done soon so stand by... Next surgery hopefully after the first of the year...my facial feminization then I'll be complete!!! FYI if you notice the picture just before this is the same top as in this one, and you can obviously see the difference the breast augmentation has made, sort of a before and after shots. Thanks to one very humble friend for gifting me PRO, he is a gentleman and special to me. You know who you are I won’t post your name out of respect wanted to let you know I appreciate it so much, thank you once again 💋
