In fact the shipping container is probably doing more containment than the tower block (Hawkridge House) in the background, which has been empty since 2020.
Containment perimeter for the featured creatures of Jungle Habitat, a safari-style theme park that operated from 1972 to 1976 in northern New Jersey.
2019 – the year the story of Akira takes place. To honour this “grandfather” of mangas and animes, the one film that in the USA and in Europe drew the attention to Japanese comic culture, which was – until then (1988) – derided as simple entertainment for children, I decided to build a new Akira MOC.
This one differs a bit from the anime, which is also a bit different from the manga. I did this to match my former Akira MOC or more specifically, the custom Tetsuo minifigure. In this scene, Tetsuo tries to find Akira’s containment unit and gets attacked.
Dedicated to Denis Franke. I hope you are well, wherever you are.
"Containment Breach LEVEL 9" Light painting photo tonight...thought I had this light creation I made contained properly but there must be a fine crack in this dusty glass jar.....a small leak....the creation has freed itself....cant let this thing get loose outside....only god knows what could happen.....rainbows may arch the opposite direction, reflections may disappear entirely, lightning bolts will turn green.... Got the doors locked and windows duct taped shut. Oh man....forgot about the chimney.....how did i forget the chimney.....I guess this thing is getting loose after all.
Over a year ago I did a Physiogram in a bottle, so thought I would do another light creation in a bottle. Got the black fiberoptic tool from L.P. brushes in the mail a few days ago excited to try it out in a non traditional fashion i guess. Used it in a multicolor way and in rotation for the center piece, a good ole dot of light above the jar and hand lit w hand black paper snooted light to light the jar.....this took forever to get a really good final take, haven't done a proper creation like this in awhile. Could be better.... got lazy and didn't get my full large black backdrop out....result is the faint door frame in my house being illuminated seen slightly as camera rotation part was done.....although i think its kinda cool and could be considered part of the escaped light mind trick. Over all quite happy. Hope you dig it.
A sound evening back at the Lime Kiln with Chris T and Rich.
Usual suspects here in some dome rotation, back lighting from a flashgun but a net curtain substitute had to be deployed due to leaving mine under the kitchen table. A sports Direct plastic bag works, but only just for the fire effect.
Top night but tired now.
This is number 85 of my 366.
Europe, Netherlands, Zuid Holland, Rotterdam, Willemsbrug, Scaffolding, Containment covering (slightly cut from all sides).
The Willembrug (1981, Cor Veerling) is undergoing a major maintenance operation. Paint is being removed first. It’s blasted from the metal frame of the bridge using grit (a very coarse abrasive powder). A new coat of paint will be applied after that.
The diagonal structure in front of the scaffolding are the tuien (cable stays) of the bridge. And their shadows.
Some weeks ago asbestos was found in the grit and ofcourse the works were promptly halted. The grit was being used since last July. The grit that had been previously used caused nuisance - cars were damaged because metal particles of the grit caused rust spots and the consists were changed. But alas one containing asbestos.
Later no traces of asbestos were found in the containment tent and on the bridge itself and with a non-lethal version of the grit the work recommenced. Checkout this.
The commissioner of the Metropolitan police went on the offensive today, defending his officers for an "astonishing" police operation during the G20 that he said had received international praise.
Sir Paul Stephenson said his comments were made in the context of a man having died during the demonstration, and of footage that was deeply concerning. But he went out of his way to praise what he said were an overwhelming majority of officers who carried out a professional job on the day.
Picking out the territorial support group (TSG) – which is at the centre of two IPCC investigations into Ian Tomlinson's death and an assault on a woman protester – Stephenson said it was a specialist unit the Met relied on.
"These and others are our first line response to some of the most difficult and challenging situations," he said.
The commissioner, who has spoken personally to TSG officers in a bid to raise their morale, said all knew they were individually accountable for their actions.
He said officers who were found to have deliberately hidden their numbers would be severely disciplined. "If someone is trying to deliberately avoid being identified and their reason is so they can behave inappropriately, criminally, then of course they could face the sack," Stephenson said.
He planned to tackle the problem of police identification by examining whether every officer should wear name tags.
The commissioner said there were supervision problems with some groups of officers and he wanted this improved. "The overwhelming majority did [wear their numbers]. There is not sufficient concentration on intrusive supervision.
"That is what I believe in. It is the job of supervisors to go and find out how good your people are so that you can say well done and sometimes to find out where they are going wrong."
The commissioner spoke as a pathologist was carrying out the third postmortem on Ian Tomlinson's body. It was done at the request of lawyers for the TSG officer seen in footage obtained by the Guardian apparently attacking Tomlinson. The Met will be present at the postmortem after receiving advice from its lawyers.
The IPCC is investigating the circumstances of Tomlinson's death; a second incident in which a TSG sergeant is seen hitting a woman protester; and a third case that resulted from another complaint from a protester about police violence.
Stephenson has asked for a review of all footage in the Met's possession. This is being carried out by the Met's department of professional standards. Denis O'Connor, Her Majesty's inspector of constabulary, has been asked to examine the tactics used by the Met for public order events, specifically the issue of containing demonstrators for several hours.
Stephenson said the use of containment had begun after a demonstration in June 1999 when protesters caused £13m worth of damage. "The policy of containment has come from our history. As a consequence of this we … developed a policy of graduated control which at some point may involve containment. If there is a better way to do it we are up for learning it, but we don't know of a way."
Stephenson said he had received acknowledgment from police forces internationally for what the Met achieved during the G20.
"Part of the headlines should be … astonishing operation pulled off by the Met who did a first-class job," he said.
"The overwhelming majority of officers, whatever the stress or provocation, carried out their duties in a professional manner and I want to give them credit for what they achieved." He said his comments were in the context that some of the footage he had seen caused him deep concern, and the Met was cooperating with the IPCC to help provide the answers that Tomlinson's family wanted.
Stephenson said the Met had never misled anyone in the aftermath of Tomlinson's death. He said the scene where he collapsed was secured, sealed off and treated as a crime scene and the press statement the Met released in the aftermath of the death was approved by the Independent Police Complaints Commission.

As you may recall, our neighbor up the road runs a very nice little winery. He serves local cheese (jokes or dairy or both, you decide) and simple bistro-type food, too. When the state forced him to shut down except for carryout orders, he "developed" several "COVID Self-Isolation and Containment Survival Kits" featuring wine and food.
Earlier this week we took advantage of this, bringing home a (gluten free!) pizza and a few bottles of wine to get us through the remainder of the madness. Lucy just wanted to make sure we were given the correct wine...or was she hoping a cat toy had been added to the box, figuring Ben's little sister would get special treatment?
Have a good weekend, be of good cheer, and stay safe!
A containment dam was set up when a tank car filled with "shock absorber fluid" was derailed by the tornado.

Five months after containment of the Woolsey Fire
One of the most difficult aspects of maintaining a healthy environment is eliminating invasive species. Here, as in many, many areas of the Santa Monica Mountains, black mustard is growing. Fortunately, in this area, there was a relatively small area in which it was growing. In other parts of the mountains, it covers whole hillsides. Supposedly this mustard was brought here by the Franciscan priests who came to California to build missions and proselytize the native peoples. They used mustard to mark their way along the path they took. Non-native species such as these not only take water and nutrients from the soil that native plants could have been using but they are also more fire-prone than native plants. Most of the plants here in California have adapted to an environment of frequent fires and thus are somewhat fire-resistant. Mustard is not and helps wildfires spread.
