In early spring small maple flowers are transformed in a matter of days into winged seeds. I caught this maple tree in the action as its tiny red ovaries began to enlarge into seeds.
Maple flowers lack petals but they provide wonderful color when they are massed on the tree, reminiscent of the color maples provide in the winter.

This is my Horus Heresy era, Imperial Fists Legion, Reconnaissance Squad in recon armour. Also known as plastic Space Marine Scouts with sniper rifles.
I’ve really fallen in love with the aesthetic of six-man specialist squads. All of the Tactical Support and Heavy Support squads currently (and planned future projects) in my collection are six-man squads.
I got these as a birthday present from my Aunt back in March. Finishing a six-man infantry squad in only a month and a half counts as speed painting for me. I wish I could say that I enjoy painting, but I’m not sure I do, what I actually enjoy is finishing painting a project.
I’m really happy with how they have turned out, but it wasn’t an easy road getting there.
I’m not keen on the stock heads that come with the Space Marine Scout kits, so I decided to do a simple head-swap, replacing them with Skitarii Ranger heads that I bought on eBay. Their hoods can be easily blended with the Scout’s camo cloaks with green-stuff, and they look like they’re wearing gasmasks. I wanted them to look environment sealed as my collection is themed around Mars.
These fit the theme of my recon squad perfectly, even if they didn’t fit the models perfectly. I had some trouble fitting the heads to the torsos with enough contact points for plastic glue to bond them together. I also had to trim the necks back a bit as they looked too long. It was also necessary to use green-stuff to fill gaps and improve the fit.
The plastic Space Marine Scouts with Sniper Rifles set is also a little dated, and it’s clear on their legs that the two halves of the mould do not align properly. I tried to address this with some cutting and scraping.
I mounted my squad on 32mm Citadel Sector Imperialis round bases. Because they’re awesome, and one of the best value for money kits Games Workshop have ever released. I chose 32mm bases because 25mm bases just look too small these days, and although these guys are wearing recon armour, they’re still Space Marines (in 30K, in 40K they’re nearly-Space Marines).
The yellow parts of their recon armour I painted in the same way I paint all of my Imperial Fists. Although in this case I started from a ‘Corax White’ spray can primer instead of ‘Averland Sunset’ spray or air via airbrush. It’s ‘Averland Sunset’, drowned in a coat of ‘Seraphim Sepia’ shade, layered with thinned down ‘Averland Sunset’ and then edge-highlighted with ‘Ushabti Bone’.
The grey fabric parts of their clothes were painted with ‘Dawnstone’, washed with ‘Nuln Oil’ shade and then layered on the raised areas with ‘Dawnstone’ again.
The camo cloaks? The camo cloaks nearly drove me made.
I wanted them to have a Martian red tinge, to fit the theme that these guys are fighting on Mars. I base-coated them with a 50:50 mix of ‘Mournfang Brown’ and ‘Wild Rider Red’ and then shaded them with ‘Agrax Earthshade’.
Here’s where it all went wrong. I tried to layer them with a 50:50 mix of ‘Mournfang Brown’ and ‘Troll Slayer Orange’ (I think). I was aiming for a slightly lighter shade of red-brown, but I ended up with a very pale terracotta colour, which was a really stark contrast with the layers beneath and not at all what I wanted.
I ended up having to repaint that layer with a new 50:50 mix of ‘Mournfang Brown’ and ‘Zamesi Desert’. Which I then highlighted with a 50:50 mix of ‘Mournfang Brown’ and ‘Ushabti Bone’.
I wanted to paint a camouflage pattern on their cloaks and I found a design I wanted to emulate through a Google image search. Unfortunately the person who painted the design I was referencing is a much better painter than me generally, and also used an airbrush. Although I have an airbrush I don’t have the skills to use it for anything other than base-coating.
That said I was happy with how mine turned out…
Until I applied weathering powders to it.
I like to use MIG ‘Standard Rust’ (P025) pigment powder as a weathering powder representing Martian dust. I’ve used it before and never had any problems. I then use MIG ‘Pigment Fixer’ to fix the weathering powder, by gently dabbing it on and letting it soak into the powders and dry.
It’s always worked before, but this time it seemed to mix with the powder turning it into a thick paint which would then dry leaving tide marks like a shade applied too thickly and allowed to pool.
I didn’t know how to fix it or undo it, and I got very frustrated. I wasted probably a week trying to apply powder every night and get it to dry looking like clinging Martian dust instead of stodgy brown opaque paint.
In the end I couldn’t solve it and had to make my peace with it and move on. If I hadn’t forced myself to carry on I’d still be there now painting the cloaks over and over again and slowly losing the will to paint ever again.
The guns I painted black and edge highlighted with ‘Dawnstone’ then edge highlighted only the upper surfaces with a mix of ‘Dawnstone’ and ‘Ice Blue’. But the end result was too bright, so I matted it all down with a coat of ‘Nuln Oil’ shade, which I proceeded to knock over and spill all over my palette.
I had a funny issue with the crosshairs on their sniper scopes. I painted them before highlighting the rifles and varnished them with ‘Ardcoat’ to protect them from being handled. But ironically, it was the varnish that caused a problem with them being handled. I noticed after a while that some of the crosshairs had moved off of centre, not smudged, moved. It turns out that if I applied a gentle pressure to the layer of varnish, it was moving around like a water-slide transfer that hasn’t dried, and moving the layer of paint beneath it too!
Despite everything I finally got to a stage where I was happy to call them finished. I like to throw caution to the wind, and live dangerously, by spraying my models with ‘Purity Seal’ spray when they’re finished. I’ve had problems with it clouding miniatures in the past, but I think I’ve solved that now. It’s just a case or REALLY SHAKING the can for A LONG TIME.
But just to be sure I still spray indoors in a small room with no ventilation to control environmental factors and now I can feel my throat and lungs coated with ‘Purity Seal’.
At the end of the album you can see some comparison photos with a similar Scout Squad I painted for my own Space Marine Chapter, ‘The Unity Marines’ about ten years ago. It’s always interesting to see how far (or not in my case) your painting ability has progressed and developed.
On to the next project!
I saw a photo of an Apache coiled basket, and realized the motif could be adapted for use in tapestry crochet. The interplay between positive and negative spaces was endlessly fascinating. I use this basket to hold all my crochet hooks
A new plan to develop food and drink tourism in Scotland will aim to deliver an additional £1 billion to Scotland’s economy by 2030.
The industry-led Food Tourism Scotland Action Plan, launched today by the industry and First Minister Nicola Sturgeon on the Isle of Arran, sets out a range of actions to maximise the potential of two of Scotland’s most successful sectors - tourism and food and drink.
First time self developing. Not sure where I went wrong. Too much grain and streaks where the sprocket holes are. Possibly too little agitation? Flipped it four times every minute, but it is possible I missed one. Will missing one agitation do this? It's not light leaks as I took some pictures with this camera and it was processed by the lab perfectly.
I used lightroom to help push contrast because the negatives looked really grey and lacked contrast.
Developed with Ifosol 3 for 6 minutes at 24 degrees.
Where did I go wrong?

ZoomCharts at DevClub.lv: Developing a Javascript SDK
On January 15, 2015, ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CTO Viesturs Zariņš presented at DevClub.lv - a community of Latvian IT specialists that gather monthly and host free talks, presentations, and events to allow the local IT community to share knowledge, network, and communicate. Zariņš discussed the unique challenges faced in developing JavaScript SDK.
Here is a brief overview of his PowerPoint presentation on ZoomCharts, the world’s most interactive data visualization software that will support all your data presentation needs with incredible speed.
What is ZoomCharts?
What defines ZoomCharts advanced data visualization software? It is NOT another HTML5 charts library. It is:
- Interactive
- Fast
- Touch enabled
- Supports big data
A long time ago
DOS 6.2 allowed for:
- 320x240x8bpp
- Direct access to pixels on screen
- Assembler for performance
Today, the Web has finally caught up in the graphics department. Now, we have access to:
- Multiple browsers and rendering technologies
- Multiple resolutions
- Performance that varies by browser and device
Development setup:
- We write in JavaScript
- Commit to GitHub
- Build system in JavaScript
- Debug in Chrome
- Run automated tests
- Like WebStorm (and Vim)
Graphics:
Canvas (fast)
SVG (slow)
WebGL (>50%)
Interactive animations:
Zoom in and out of the graph, drag and drop data, all with your mouse or trackpad.
Graceful degradation:
High FPS (frames per second) lets you scale graphics with low image degradation.
Third party libraries:
- Raphael
- Hammer.js
- Leaflet
- Moment.js
Challenges:
- Responsive design: layouts can shift and look nice on desktop screens vs. not so nice on vertical, mobile screens
- Big screen resolutions: uses devicePixelRatio for sharp rendering, but no hardware acceleration beyond 2048x2048
- Safari compatibility: with 100% CPU, input events are blocked and browser locks up; strange code offers fixes
- HTML on canvas: DOM is slow; basic HTML markup must be parsed and rendered manually; text caching helps
Support:
- Process: TrialSupportBuy
- 1 day issue resolution
- #1 Tell me what I did wrong
- #2 Can you do…
Testing:
- Automated tests on every GIT push
Automatically:
- Compare images
- Record performance
- View errors in console
Interactive testing:
- Next step: record and playback
BrowserStack:
- Interactive mode
- Automated: Selenium API
Debugging:
Chrome Developer tools (F12)
- Debugging
- Profiling
- Timeline
Remote debugging available: developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging
Future:
- More charts
- Extension API
- Memory allocation tracking
- WebGL
We are looking for statically-typed language:
- Error checking
- Performance
- Superior minification
- Easy to write and read
- Easy to call from JS
Building
Custom build script:
- Compile
- Minify
- Extract documentation
- Embed customer data

Finally, this nice little 135 Twin Lens Reflex plastic camera created from scratch by Superheadz will arrive Hong Kong exclusively at city'super/LOGON in Oct/Nov!
I knew about this from Superheadz since last year and they've been sending prototypes to selected photographers around the world for testing and testing and testing. In addition to their 110 cute cameras, this will make history in the world of toy camera. Drooling to play with it for a long time, finally I received a sample this August. Obviously Superheadz took tremendous effort to make it perfect before they are comfortable giving me a sample to try. I've seen Hiruma san on Tokyo's street talking on the phone in sweat with the manufacturer because of the flood in China back in July, which explains the delay in release.
During this launch, only 3 colors will appear in the market. Black, Orange and Blue. But I've seen other colors in their office back in July, red, brown and yellow. In addition, somewhere on Flickr I saw white too.
The most amazing things I like about BBF is built-in film counter (no more camera backs/adaptors), removable film masks to create sprocket holes effect and square photos, not to mention a hot shoe for flash. Instantly tons of things to play with just like Holga or even more. I'm so glad both LOMO and Superheadz are now deviating their paths further by doing things other than the most popular Holga, differentiating from each other instead of competing with fancy packaging and Holga accessories only. LOMO's new path is with Diana, while Superheadz with 110 cameras and BBF.
The Plastic Lens' Artpunk already has several preview articles about BBF's features here, here and here. Thanks Artpunk!
I've created a "Black Bird Fly" camera and photos Flickr group so if you have photos taken by BBF or photos of your beloved BBF, please go there and share/discuss! I can't wait to see how my photos are developed, will soon share.

Using pioneering new technologies in Superfoods and nutrition, CFTRI has developed amazing new products which are on show at CFTRI stall at Pragati Maidan:
· Chia and Quinoa based Chocolates and Laddoos;
· Omega-3 enriched ice-cream;
· Multigrain banana bar
· Fruit juice based carbonated drinks.
New Delhi, 24th November, 2016: CSIR-Central Food Technological Research Institute (CFTRI), the premier national institute for food technology is exhibiting a range of new agri-products now grown in India, called Superfoods that bring health and nutrition best practices to everyday eating and living to the common man. The exhibits by CFTRI at the Trade Fair at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi both impress and surprise with the range and scope of their utility and potency.
The Indian population is presently going through a nutrition transition and there is an increase in incidence of diabetes, impaired heart health and obesity while there is still rampant malnutrition in the nation.
Keeping in mind an effective solution needed to address these concerns, CSIR-CFTRI is working on bringing Superfoods to the Indian population. CFTRI works on various facets of food technology, food processing, advanced nutrition, Superfoods and allied sciences. Superfoods are foods which have superior nutrition profiles which upon regular consumption can help improve health and wellness of the consumer.
CFTRI has developed the agro-technology for growing Superfoods viz. Chia and Quinoa in Indian conditions. Chia is the richest source of omega-3 fats from a vegetarian source and Quinoa has excellent protein quality and low glycemic load carbohydrates. Comprehensively, Chia and Quinoa have potential to improve population health and both blend seamlessly into traditional food preparations.
CSIR-CFTRI also infuses the spirit of entrepreneurship in their students. One of the doctoral students after completing her academic program started her own technology provider start-up company, Oleome Biosolutions Pvt Ltd. In a global first, CSIR-CFTRI in collaboration with Oleome, has developed a 100% vegetarian, Omega-3-enriched Ice cream called “Nutriice” using Chia oil.
CSIR-CFTRI is also in the process of the final phase of testing of diacylglycerol (DAG) oil, a unique cooking oil that has “Anti-Obesity” functionalities. One can consume it as part of daily regular diet and while the oil is available as energy but does not get stored as fat in our bodies. The final phase of human clinical trial is presently under progress.
CFTRI has also designed and developed snacks with advanced nutrition designs to support the nutrition needs of growing children. These have been implemented in the aganwadi levels to complement the existing government mid-day meal and will be scaled up soon. The products, such as Nutri Chikki with spirulina, rice beverage mix, high protein rusk, energy food, nutri sprinkle, seasame paste and fortified mango bars have been well received by the children and the anganwadis alike. Multi-grain Banana bar is a new addition to in this product portfolio.
Another exciting area of multidisciplinary research being done at CSIR-CFTRI is on nanotechnology, food technology and nutrition. Nanomaterials are known for their characteristic properties and CSIR-CFTRI is working on the use of nanoparticles for various applications. One of our interesting developments is the design and development of food packaging material with nanoparticles with antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to improve shelf-life of processed foods.
CSIR-CFTRI is also working on “Smart Foods” to answer specific needs of the consumer. These promising and specifically designed innovations are being developed for better sleep, better skin health, improved digestion, better cognitive performance and better stress management. The high science is brought into a simple food product, like a cereal bar which helps one to be more attentive over the day, or a unique dosa mix that helps in working out better at the gym with lower perceived exhaustion and even a special soup to help sleep better at night!
Speaking on the sidelines of the CSIR-CFTRI exhibition at Pragati Maidn, Prof. Ram Rajasekharan, Director, CFTRI said “Our mandate is to find innovative solutions to India agricultural and nutritional challenges. Our aim is to develop products to make Indian agriculture productive, efficient and at a consumer level gradually replace drugs with foods that will promote better health and wellness. We strive to deliver our best in improving food security and nutrition security, also developing a stronger, smarter and healthier India”.

India is the world's second largest food grain, fruit and vegetable producer, and the institute is engaged in research and development in the production and handling of grains, pulses, oilseeds, spices, fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and poultry.
The institute develops technologies to increase efficiency and reduce postharvest losses, add convenience, increase export, find new sources of food products, integrate human resources in food industries and develops solutions to improve the health and wellness of the population.
CFTRI has a vast portfolio of over 300 products, processes and equipment designs, and close to 4000 licensees have availed themselves of these technologies for commercial exploitation. The achievements have been of considerable industrial value, social importance and national relevance, and coupled with the institute's wide-ranging facilities and services, have created an extensive impact on the Indian food industry and Indian society at large.
Well, if only I could!
Here's a vintage advertisement from 1953 for Bolton & Huzzard of Gainsborough in Lincolnshire. It would be great to have somewhere you could take your freshly exposed film to an artisan in a white lab coat who would lovingly develop, print and mount your pictures for you, all by hand. Nowadays you have to do it yourself or else run the gauntlet of indifferent quality & variable service from a supermarket with an "all in one" processing machine. Not here - the gentleman in the photo (might it be Mr. Bolton or Mr. Huzzard?) is seen loading photographs into the print dryer, one by one, by hand.
For Gainsborough folk, 88, Trinity Street, where Bolton & Huzzard plied their trade, is now a small computer accessory shop between the bookshop and the "Crop Shop" at the top of Tooley Street.
