Compatibility photos on Flickr

An idea came into my mind when spring arrived in my town two months ago. I purchased a purse for my little sister in March. I saw that there was a color match between the handbag and the spring flowers. It made me to go out on a cloudy Sunday afternoon and do this footage. The scene shows compatibility or closeness between the nature beauty and a lifestyle item. The original inspiration came from fashion magazines, but I performed it in my own style.

PACIFIC OCEAN (Apr. 19, 2021) – An MV-22B Osprey assigned to Air Test and Evaluation (HX) Squadron 21 of Naval Air Station (NAS) Patuxent River, Md., takes off from Military Sealift Command hospital ship USNS Mercy’s (T-AH 19) flight deck Apr. 19. Mercy is underway off the coast of Southern California completing Dynamic Interface Testing, where the ship’s aviation facilities will be evaluated for compatibility with the V-22 Osprey and MH-60 Seahawk, and establish launch and recovery windows in adverse weather conditions. Mercy recently returned to its homeport in San Diego from a regular overhaul in Portland, Ore., where improvements were made to its flight deck to support multiple aircraft platforms. Mercy must be in a five-day-activation status in order to support missions over the horizon, and be ready, reliable and resilient to support mission commanders.

A Novel by Mitsushiro Nakagawa

“Synopsis”

A Palestinian group from Gaza hacks into North Korea’s cryptocurrency system, stealing hundreds of millions of dollars. Their true goal is not money—but to recreate the lost homeland of Gaza on American soil.

Amid the backdrop of hardline Republican immigration policies and a growing wave of xenophobia, a quiet plan begins to take shape: the gradual collapse of America from within.

During a speech at Madison Square Garden, Republican presidential candidate Justin Bradford is shot. Almost simultaneously in Los Angeles, former president Owen Reed is attacked at a rally for Democratic hopeful Ryan Bennett.

Two assassinations—mirroring one another—ignite a nation’s deepest divide. Yet, against all odds, Justin survives. His blood type is one in 2.5 million: the Bombay Blood Group.

The only person who can donate such blood is Anaya Patel, a community art facilitator working in Brooklyn. Her blood, stored in the Bellevue Hospital Blood Bank, is used for an emergency transfusion that saves the candidate’s life.

Jack Vance, an agent of the U.S. Secret Service, suspects a Gaza-based network behind the attacks. Together with Cameron Bartlett, the FBI Director of the Los Angeles Field Office, and Veronica Reeves, a senior investigator from New York, he begins to uncover a vast conspiracy.

Their investigation leads them to Rafi Gannam, a former architecture student at the Islamic University of Gaza, who has infiltrated redevelopment sites across Los Angeles and New York—embedding C4 explosives deep within beams and structural cores.

His targets: new residential districts where agents of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) and ERO (Enforcement and Removal Operations) live—symbols of “the order America built.”

Veronica urges the President to pursue dialogue to prevent further destruction, but President Grant M. Ranford refuses to listen.

Meanwhile, the recovering Justin and his Democratic rival Ryan appear on national television, calling for unity beyond political divisions.

Their words of reason, however, are drowned out when Grant takes the stage in Iowa, defiantly declaring: “We will never bow to terror.”

Among the crowd, Rafi’s operatives have already taken their positions.

As chaos erupts and the stage collapses, Amir Nasser—once Rafi’s comrade, haunted by the memory of his sister’s death in Gaza—tries desperately to halt the chain of destruction.

But Rafi’s conviction remains unshaken.

Under the twilight beneath the Williamsburg Bridge, amid the city’s fading noise, the two men part ways.

It is the boundary between prayer and vengeance, between hope and nothingness.

Recently, director Ridley Scott remarked that streaming films and series have become dull.

I agree.

If you have two hours to spare for such stories, I ask for only two minutes of your time.

Two minutes with my novel will outlast those two hours.

I am confident of that.

Stay tuned.

僕の新しい小説

　B♭　（ビーフラット） ……. Mitsushiro Nakagawa

“あらすじ”

北朝鮮の仮想通貨システムをハッキングし、数億ドルを奪取したガザ出身のパレスチナ人グループが、アメリカ合衆国へ密かに潜入する。

彼らの目的は、失われた祖国ガザを、アメリカの地に「復元」することだった。

共和党による強硬な移民政策と、国内にくすぶる排外感情を利用し、アメリカ社会を内側から崩壊させる計画が静かに進行していく。

共和党大統領候補ジャスティン・ブラッドフォードがマディソン・スクエア・ガーデンで演説中に狙撃され、ほぼ同時刻、ロサンゼルスでは前大統領オーウェン・リードもまた、民主党候補ライアン・ベネットの集会で撃たれる。

国家を二分する双方向の暗殺。だが、ジャスティンは奇跡的に生還する。

彼の血液型は、世界でわずか250万人に一人といわれる「ボンベイブラッド」。

その希少な血を提供できたのは、ブルックリンで活動するコミュニティアート・ファシリテーター、アナヤ・パテルだった。

彼女の血液はベルビュー病院の血液バンクに保存されており、緊急輸血によって、候補者の命はかろうじて繋がれた。

シークレットサービスのジャック・バンスは、テロの背後にガザ出身の組織が関与していることを察知し、FBIロサンゼルス支局長官キャメロン・バートレット、ニューヨーク支局の特別捜査官ヴェロニカ・リーブスと共に捜査を進める。

やがて彼らは、イスラム大学で建築学を学んだラフィ・ガンナムが、ロサンゼルスやニューヨークの再開発現場に潜入し、梁や構造体の中枢にC4爆薬を仕込んでいた事実に辿り着く。

標的は、ICE（移民・関税執行局）やERO（執行・送還作戦部門）の職員が暮らす新興住宅街——すなわち、「アメリカが築いた秩序」そのものだった。

ヴェロニカは、これ以上の破壊を防ぐため、大統領への対話を進言するが、現職のグラント・ランフォード大統領は耳を貸さない。

一方、命を取り留めたジャスティンと民主党候補ライアンは、テレビを通じて国民に訴えかけ、分断を乗り越えようとする。

だが、その理性の声を嘲笑うかのように、グラントはアイオワ州での演説を強行し、「テロには屈しない」と宣言する。

その会場には、すでにラフィの仲間が率いる工作チームが潜入していた。

崩壊する会場の惨状を前に、仲間の一人アミール・ナッセルは、かつてガザで妹を失った記憶に引き裂かれ、破壊の連鎖を止めようとする。

だが、ラフィの信念は揺るがない。

ウィリアムズバーグ橋の下、夕暮れの喧騒のなか、二人は決別する。

それは、祈りと報復、希望と虚無の境界線だった——。

その2分間は、２時間を越えるでしょう。

僕は自信があります。

ぜひ、期待してお待ちください。

Toa Rova Skeleton/Compatibility by 0nuku

70 5

Some of you asked how well the Lego and Glopo parts fit together in my Toa Rova/Doomsday Revamp. The answer? Better than hoped.

Glopo\'s pin (O) connections are pretty close to Lego\'s and I was able to attach them just fine, though the chestplate one was a little tight (it\'s also only 0.5L long, so keep that in mind). The axle (+) connection was the real tricky part. Because of their thick walls and 45 degree rotation (they could be called X rods instead of +), they simply will not fit into a Lego axle hole. However, they are thick enough to provide a decent amount of friction with a Lego pin hole, best shown in the sword parts. The chestplate and shoulderpad X connections were a bit looser and required some extra frictional support, but it worked out just fine. The Glopo axle holes, as would be expected, are extremely loose on Lego axles, yet not quite loose enough to fit a pin through. You just have to push some tight bushings around them as I did on the neck and hope it stays.

Also, a clearer look at ToaLeewan\'s wonderful B-Bone with Cross-Axle parts in the backs of the thighs (hopefully). Thanks again for making such great parts!

Quiet shadows by ACJC.S

66 3

Another year is almost over, hopefully we can emerge from the shadows soon although much still remains out of focus.

Handheld shot with FE 85mm f1.4 GM late in the evening along this historical street.

Haven’t bought any photographic gear this year although a couple of lenses are firmly in my sight.

The 70-200mm f2.8 zoom is a lens I’ve avoided thus far as it typically weighs as much as a high end 100-400mm zoom which is too much unless we are just carrying this lens alone.

Then came Tamron FE 70-180mm f2.8 (815g) and Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8L IS (1,070g), both however do not work with teleconverters (TC) and the Tamron additionally omits lens stabilization.

Had some initial interest in the Tamron but the just released Sony FE 70-200mm 2.8 GM OSS ii (1,045g) has both lens stabilization which is more effective than IBIS at the long end and works with TCs which can get me to 400mm f5.6 if needed. My FE 100-400mm f4.5-5.6 GM OSS works flawlessly with 2x TC and I expect the same for the new FE 70-200mm f2.8 GM ii.

The Tamron is $1,199 vs the Sony GM ii $2,798 (same as Canon’s RF version), a substantial difference. Looking at the photos taken with the Tamron, it’s a nice lens but there’s no “wow” quality in the photos taken and there are also some distracting structures within the specular highlights.

The photos from the new FE 70-200mm f2.8 GM OSS ii however, are impressive. If we don’t use a 70-200mm f2.8 zoom too often and does not need more than 8fps or TC compatibility, the Tamron version makes a lot of sense. Canon and Sony users have access to lots of lens choices, the same cannot be said for Nikon however.

It seems that Sony achieved significant weight reduction without making compromises in TC compatibility or omitting stabilization but with a more efficient design with less glass used in GM ii with 17 elements compared to 23 in the older version. Is this advancement all due to improved glass quality or software?

I do wonder if they can do the same with their future generation 2 100-400 GM and 200-600 G zooms when the time comes, perhaps even with the soon to be launched 24-70 GM ii?

Meanwhile Tamron has just released their FE 28-75mm f2.8 G2 which appears to be an improved version of its highly popular 1st Gen lens. Personally I’ll rather wait and see what Sony will do with their imminent FE 24-70mm f2.8 GM ii replacement.

Advances in lens making have produced zooms capable of matching Prime lenses at equivalent apertures. For this reason, I stopped bothering with Primes which are just 1 stop faster than f2.8 zooms especially at focal lengths below 85mm.

Those who had aggressively suggested that the Batis 135mm f2.8 was reasonable at $2,000 are clearly shills, you can easily identify these fellas from the various gear forums by now. I’ve spoken out against the value of Batis lenses from inception and in particular the 135mm f2.8 since its release. We really need to be wary of these marketing shills as they are so rampant in gear forums masquerading as hobbyists these days. flic.kr/p/GC4PWY

24. train wheels with LDD equivalents by wes_turngrate

82 14

I use this file fairly frequently (or the one prior to this, I've tidied it up now!) as a reference for wheel sizes and heights; I figured if I find it useful, maybe others might too. Nothing 'revolutionary' (sorry) here. (Those who use stud.io might have more wheel options to go at.)

• The letters at the front refer to Big Ben Bricks and Shupp's wheel-size codes.

• The brick assemblies at the back show how far off the sleepers/ties the axles should go.

UPDATE (4 Jan 2020 13:40GMT):

I have replaced the image to include -

• XXL wheel equivalent using part# 33211;

• M wheel with either part# 62701 or 4185;

• MS wheel with cog part# 32198 for axle compatibility.

子供の関係で、新宿のホテルへ一泊してきました。最初の裏口と居酒屋の二枚を除いて、朝の６時から３０分以内ですべて撮影しました。
