Taking its title from the late American poet Richard Brautigan’s 1967 poem, “All watched over by machines of loving grace” is a short experimental film about our obsession, fetishization, and deification of technology. In our ongoing race to optimize and computerize, to move fast break things’ in devotion to our holy missions of growth’ and progress’, we often fail to see — let alone to foresee — the undesirable consequences of our misjudged narrow intelligence.

In the Pathum Wan District the National Railways of Thailand have Hua Lamphong railway station here. Hua Lamphong Railway Station officially known as Bangkok Railway Station, is the main railway station in Bangkok. It is located in the centre of the city in Pathum Wan District.The station was opened on 25 June 1916, after six years construction. The site of the railway station was previously the national railway's maintenance centre, which moved to Makkasan in June 1910. At the location of the previous railway station nearby, a pillar commemorates the inauguration of railways in 1897. During World War II the Allies tried to bomb the station but hit a nearby hotel instead.
The station was built in a Italian Neo Renaissance style, with decorated wooden roofs and stained glass windows. The architecture is attributed to Turin born Mario Tamagno, who, with countryman Annibale Rigotti, made a mark on early 20th century public building in Bangkok. There are 14 platforms, 26 ticket booths and two electric display boards. Hua Lamphong serves over 130 trains and about 60,000 passengers each day. Since 2004 the station has been connected by underground passage to the MRT subway system with a station by the same name.
Tickets for trains leaving the same or next day can be bought at the counters under the red / orange / green screens. For the advance booking office, walk towards the far side with the platforms on the left of you, from the main entrance and you should see the sign ahead of you. Hua Lamphong's Advance Booking Office is very well organised and very friendly. When you enter, take a numbered ticket from the machine and wait for your number to appear on the monitor. There may be a long queue, so allow time to wait. There is a train plan posted, so you can select your own seat or berth when you book a ticket. You can pay by cash or by credit card. Reservations are computerized, and your ticket will have the train time and your seat and berth number printed on it. You will need to produce it to the guard before you board the train.
There are many places to eat here good restaurants and fast food outlets and it helps to pass the time away waiting for your train. I have done so myself when I travelled 1st Class sleeper carriage to Chiang Mai, and 1st class sleeper carriage to Songkhla in the south of Thailand. I have tried 2nd class and found it unbearable, they change the seats into beds in the main compartment at night time. So you share with everyone else. First class is so much better you have your own compartment with a table next to the seats, along with a washbasin. A member of staff returns at night time to make up the beds. During the journey you can order food and beer to be brought to your compartment.
This for me is the great way to travel by train in Thailand. They do have what can be called a restaurant car if you want to eat food there. However it is shared by rail staff and security. However I can tell you I have had many great nights in this railcar with much laughter. One warning though the toilets do take some getting use to, especially after a few beers. On some of the trains its just a hole in the floor, and seeing the railway sleepers passing by at speed is not funny.
Thailand has a large network of rail services that cover most of the country. Northern line , Eastern, Southern and North Eastern line. Check their web site for timetables.

Today I met Soile.
She is a quilter, a very talented one, who loves what she is doing.
I spent a long and interesting moment in her nearby studio. She was kind and hospitable and let me take photos to my heart's desire, while she explained her (automatic) stitching machine and showed me her gorgeous fabrics.
Soile is, believe it or not, 52 y/o, and I thought she was in her early 40's !
She is married and has three daughters; 24, 22 and 17 y/o.
She has had her own business for the past ten months, but she's been quilting for some ten years now. One can feel her joyful enthusiasm in her art craft.
"I love fabric!"
Not only fabric, mind you, she loves different sorts of threads and bright, radiant, warm colours. It was a pleasure to get acquainted with her and her creative art.
I was fascinated by her computerized sewing machine. She programmed the patterns and the machine did the sewing all by itself. Absolutely amazing.
Soile had seen a similar machine nine years ago when she lived in Belgium. One of her neighbors, back there, taught her a thing or two about quilting, and later, when Soile came across a similar Singer machine, she purchased it.
I stared at the robot and saw the work progressing beautifully in just a few minutes. It stitched automatically, in a peaceful rhythm, putting together two different fabrics with the soft padding in between, all in almost no time at all.
I am sure Soile does by hand a lot of work and uses her other sewing machine for the finish touch.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North American A-5 Vigilante is an American carrier-based supersonic bomber designed and built by North American Aviation for the United States Navy. It set several world records including long distance speed and altitude records. Its service in the nuclear strike role to replace the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior was very short; however, as the RA-5C, it saw extensive service during the Vietnam War in the tactical strike reconnaissance role. Prior to the unification of the Navy designation sequence with the Air Force sequence in 1962, it was designated the A3J Vigilante.
Design and development
In 1953, North American Aviation began a private study for a carrier-based, long-range, all-weather strike bomber, capable of delivering nuclear weapons at supersonic speeds. This proposal, the North American General Purpose Attack Weapon (NAGPAW) concept, was accepted by the United States Navy, with some revisions, in 1955. A contract was awarded on 29 August 1956. Its first flight occurred two years later on 31 August 1958 in Columbus, Ohio.
At the time of its introduction, the Vigilante was one of the largest and by far the most complex aircraft to operate from a United States Navy aircraft carrier. It had a high-mounted swept wing with a boundary-layer control system (blown flaps) to improve low-speed lift. There were no ailerons. Roll control was provided by spoilers in conjunction with differential deflection of the all-moving tail surfaces. The use of aluminum-lithium alloy for wing skins and titanium for critical structures was also unusual. The A-5 had two widely spaced General Electric J79 turbojet engines (the same as used on the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter), fed by intake ramps and a single large all-moving vertical stabilizer. Preliminary design studies had employed twin vertical fin/rudders. The wings, vertical stabilizer and the nose radome folded for carrier stowage. The Vigilante had a crew of two seated in tandem, a pilot and a bombardier-navigator (BN) (reconnaissance/attack navigator (RAN) on later reconnaissance versions) seated on individual North American HS-1A ejection seats.
Despite being designated by the US Navy as a "heavy", the A-5 was surprisingly agile; without the drag of bombs or missiles, even escorting fighters found that the clean airframe and powerful engines made the Vigilante very fast at high and low altitudes. However, its high approach speed and high angle of attack in the landing configuration made returning to the aircraft carrier a challenge for inexperienced or unwary pilots.
The Vigilante had advanced and complex electronics when it first entered service. It had one of the first "fly-by-wire" systems on an operational aircraft (with mechanical/hydraulic backup) and a computerized AN/ASB-12 nav/attack system incorporating a head-up display ("Pilot's Projected Display Indicator" (PPDI), one of the first), multi-mode radar, radar-equipped inertial navigation system (REINS, based on technologies developed for North American's Navaho missile), closed-circuit television camera under the nose, and an early digital computer known as "Versatile Digital Analyzer" (VERDAN) to run it all.
Given its original design as a carrier-based, supersonic, nuclear heavy attack aircraft, the Vigilante's main armament was carried in a novel "linear bomb bay" between the engines in the rear fuselage, which provided for positive separation of the bomb from the aircraft at supersonic speeds. The single nuclear weapon, commonly the Mk 28 bomb, was attached to two disposable fuel tanks in the cylindrical bay in an assembly known as the "stores train". A set of extendable fins was attached to the aft end of the most rearward fuel tank. These fuel tanks were to be emptied during the flight to the target and then jettisoned with the bomb by an explosive drogue gun. The stores train was propelled rearward at about 50 feet per second (30 knots) relative to the aircraft. It thereafter followed a typical ballistic path.
In practice, the system was not reliable and no live weapons were ever carried in the linear bomb bay. In the RA-5C configuration, the bay was used solely for fuel. On three occasions, the shock of the catapult launch caused the fuel cans to eject onto the deck; this resulted in one aircraft loss.
The Vigilante originally had two wing pylons, intended primarily for drop tanks. The second Vigilante variant, the A3J-2 (A-5B), incorporated internal tanks for an additional 460 gallons of fuel (which added a pronounced dorsal "hump") along with two additional wing hardpoints, for a total of four. In practice the hardpoints were rarely used. Other improvements included blown flaps on the leading edge of the wing and sturdier landing gear.
The reconnaissance version of the Vigilante, the RA-5C, had slightly greater wing area and added a long canoe-shaped fairing under the fuselage for a multi-sensor reconnaissance pack. This added an APD-7 side-looking airborne radar (SLAR), AAS-21 infrared line scanner, and camera packs, as well as improved ECM. An AN/ALQ-61 electronic intelligence system could also be carried. The RA-5C retained the AN/ASB-12 bombing system, and could, in theory, carry weapons, although it never did in service. Later-build RA-5Cs had more powerful J79-10 engines with afterburning thrust of 17,900 lbf (80 kN). The reconnaissance Vigilante weighed almost five tons more than the strike version with almost the same thrust and an only modestly enlarged wing. These changes cost it acceleration and climb rate, though it remained fast in level flight.
The Royal Australian Air Force considered the RA-5C Vigilante as a replacement for its English Electric Canberra. The McDonnell F-4C/RF-4C, Dassault Mirage IVA, and the similar BAC TSR-2 was also considered. However, the TFX (later the F-111C Aardvark) was accepted.

Fashion design is the art of the application of design and aesthetics or natural beauty to clothing and accessories. Fashion design is influenced by cultural and social latitudes, and has varied over time and place. Fashion designers work in a number of ways in designing clothing and accessories such as bracelets and necklace, because of the time required to bring a garment onto the market, must at times anticipate changing consumer tastes.
Fashion designers attempt to design clothes which are functional as well as aesthetically pleasing. They must consider who is likely to wear a garment and the situations in which it will be worn. They have a wide range and combinations of materials to work with and a wide range of colors, patterns and styles to choose from. Though most clothing worn for everyday wear falls within a narrow range of conventional styles, unusual garments are usually sought for special occasions such as evening wear or party dresses.
Some clothes are made specifically for an individual, as in the case of haute couture or bespoke tailoring. Today, most clothing is designed for the mass market, especially casual and every-day wear.
Structure[edit]
Fashion designers can work in a number of many ways. Fashion designers may work full-time for one fashion as 'in-house designers' which owns the designs. They may work alone or as part of a team. Freelance designers work for themselves, selling their designs to fashion houses, directly to shops, or to clothing manufacturers. The garments bear the buyer's label. Some fashion designers set up their own labels, under which their designs are marketed. Some fashion designers are self-employed and design for individual clients. Other high-fashion designers cater to specialty stores or high-fashion department stores. These designers create original garments, as well as those that follow established fashion trends. Most fashion designers, however, work for apparel manufacturers, creating designs of men’s, women’s, and children’s fashions for the mass market. Large designer brands which have a 'name' as their brand such as Abercrombie & Fitch, Justice, or Juicy are likely to be designed by a team of individual designers under the direction of a designer director.
Designing a garment[edit]
Fashion designers work in different ways. Some sketch their ideas on paper, while others drape fabric on a dress form. When a designer is completely satisfied with the fit of the toile (or muslin), he or she will consult a professional pattern maker who then makes the finished, working version of the pattern out of card or via a computerized system. The pattern maker's job is very precise and painstaking. The fit of the finished garment depends on their accuracy. Finally, a sample garment is made up and tested on a model to make sure it is an operational outfit.
Fashion design is generally considered to have started in the 19th century with Charles Frederick Worth who was the first designer to have his label sewn into the garments that he created. Before the former draper set up his maison couture (fashion house) in Paris, clothing design and creation was handled by largely anonymous seamstresses, and high fashion descended from that worn at royal courts. Worth's success was such that he was able to dictate to his customers what they should wear, instead of following their lead as earlier dressmakers had done. The term couturier was in fact first created in order to describe him. While all articles of clothing from any time period are studied by academics as costume design, only clothing created after 1858 are considered as fashion design.
It was during this period that many design houses began to hire artists to sketch or paint designs for garments. The images were shown to clients, which was much cheaper than producing an actual sample garment in the workroom. If the client liked their design, they ordered it and the resulting garment made money for the house. Thus, the tradition of designers sketching out garment designs instead of presenting completed garments on models to customers began as an economy.
The garments produced by clothing manufacturers fall into three main categories, although these may be split up into additional, more specific categories
Haute couture[edit]
Main article: Haute couture
Until the 1950s, fashion clothing was predominately designed and manufactured on a made-to-measure or haute couture basis (French for high-sewing), with each garment being created for a specific client. A couture garment is made to order for an individual customer, and is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric, sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Look and fit take priority over the cost of materials and the time it takes to make.[1][2] Due to the high cost of each garment, haute couture makes little direct profit for the fashion houses, but is important for prestige and publicity.[3]
Ready-to-wear (pret-a-porter)[edit]
Main article: Ready-to-wear
Ready-to-wear clothes are a cross between haute couture and mass market. They are not made for individual customers, but great care is taken in the choice and cut of the fabric. Clothes are made in small quantities to guarantee exclusivity, so they are rather expensive. Ready-to-wear collections are usually presented by fashion houses each season during a period known as Fashion Week. This takes place on a city-wide basis and occurs twice a year. The main seasons of Fashion Week include, spring/summer, fall/winter, resort, swim, and bridal.
Mass market[edit]
Main article: Mass market
Currently the fashion industry relies more on mass market sales. The mass market caters for a wide range of customers, producing ready-to-wear garments using trends set by the famous names in fashion. They often wait around a season to make sure a style is going to catch on before producing their own versions of the original look. In order to save money and time, they use cheaper fabrics and simpler production techniques which can easily be done by machine. The end product can therefore be sold much more cheaply.[4][5][6]
There is a type of design called "kutch" design originated from the German word "kitschig" meaning "ugly" or "not aesthetically pleasing." Kitsch can also refer to "wearing or displaying something that is therefore no longer in fashion."[7] Often, high-waisted trousers, associated with the 1980s, are considered a "kitsch" fashion statement.[8]

Median annual wages for salaried fashion designers were $61,160 in May 2008. The middle 50 percent earned between $42,150 and $87,120.[9] The lowest 10 percent earned less than $32,150, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $124,780. Median annual earnings were $52,860 (£28,340) in apparel, piece goods, and notions - the industry employing the largest numbers of fashion designers.[10]

model train set 'wonderland' in Hamburg, Germany. - A huge former warehouse packed full of moving model trains, model cars and model boats. Fully computerized, they all permanently go round and round; even the lights (on the model houses and offices, as well as the warehouse lights) dim periodically simulating night & day and the tide has ebb and flo...
The model settings aren't random either - they've got everything to scale but Canada and Finland (bastards)...
And German humour in between - I found several couples going at it in model house windows, caught in the act in model forests, enjoying themselves in model fields, etc.
DM - Keep the picture out of the safe (won't be that tough), but enjoy the shots... or not... Have some fun... or don't.

While riding Space Mountain, I kept hearing a computerized voice saying "Zone 13, rerouting. Zone 12, rerouting. Zone 11, etc..." Then we suddenly came to a stop at some trim breaks.
A few moments passed, the music stopped, then the lights came on. A few moments after that, a group of 5 team members came rushing up the steps and said "Hang on, you're about to do something most people don't get to do!" I assumed we were going to be walked off but they ended up pushing us down the track like it was a bobsled!
We were at nice gentle coast all the way to the loading area, where, they relocked our safety latches, and sent us off again.
The CNC (computerized numerical control) machine is a programmable tool that allows our skilled craftspeople to cut a wide variety of materials, including wood, aluminum, staron, and acrylic. These cuts can be made to tolerances of a few thousandths of an inch. Used as a router, this helps our team cut and mill a large variety of parts for both standard and custom designs.
Before computerization of the process in 1974, the Office
of Payroll Processing kept a card for each university
employee. Each tells a story. Edith Cockins, for instance,
was the first registrar and served for more than 45
years in that role. Like other employees, her card noted
changes in salary and benefits, her hire and retirement
dates, and other positions she held on campus. This card
shows that Cockins was born less than a month after
Ohio State opened.
