Land being developed into a solar farm in Raleigh, NC.
Off Glenwood Ave near Crabtree Creek.
Construction was slated to take 10-15 years. It looks like they are way ahead of schedule since the plan was just approved by the Raleigh City Council in May 2013.

Developed in the mid-1950s, the V-750 Dvina was the first effective Soviet surface-to-air missile. The Soviets used it to shoot down Gary Powers' U-2 over the USSR in 1960 and Maj. Rudolph Anderson's U-2 over Cuba in 1962. The missile was better known by the NATO designation SA-2 Guideline. The Soviets began exporting it to many countries worldwide in 1960, with many remaining in use into the 21st century.
North Vietnam began receiving SA-2s shortly after the start of Operation Rolling Thunder in the spring of 1965. With Soviet help, they built several well-camouflaged sites, regularly moving SA-2s and their equipment among them. The North Vietnamese also ringed SA-2 sites with anti-aircraft artillery (AAA), making them even more dangerous to attack.
SA-2 Site
The SA-2 did not operate alone, but as part of a complete system. A typical SA-2 site in North Vietnam had six missiles on launchers, control and support vans, a Spoon Rest acquisition radar, and a Fan Song guidance radar.
The Spoon Rest radar detected incoming aircraft at long range (as far as 70 miles), providing location data to the system computer.
The Fan Song guidance radar performed two functions: target acquisition and missile guidance. It acquired as many as four targets before firing. After launch, it guided up to three SA-2s against one target. (The North Vietnamese sometimes placed the radars away from the missiles to make the site harder to destroy.)
The SA-2 missile had a solid fuel booster rocket that launched and accelerated it, then dropped off after about six seconds. While in boost stage, the missile did not guide. During the second stage, the SA-2 guided, and a liquid-fuel rocket propelled it to the target.
How Radar Works
Radar (Radio Detection And Ranging) can be likened to shouting in a valley and hearing an echo in return. A radar emitter sends out radio waves, which hit an object and reflect back to a radar receiver. Much information can be gained by calculating the time and angle of the reflected radio waves.
Basic radar can simply indicate the presence of an object from several miles away, while more advanced radars can provide the speed, altitude and heading of an aircraft. Radar information can be used in many ways, including providing early warning of an attack, directing defensive fighters, aiming anti-aircraft artillery fire and guiding missiles (including SAMs).
SA-2 Guideline (V-750VK Dvina) Surface-to-Air Missile and Launcher
The reusable SA-2 launcher rotated 360 degrees and typically raised the missile between 30 and 60 degrees for launch. Removable wheels (not displayed) allowed the launcher to be moved quickly. In fact, North Vietnamese SAM crews could pack up and move a site in about four hours.
One vital capability of the Wild Weasels was being able to identify and immediately strike an active site. Before the Wild Weasels, the enemy often moved out of a site by the time a strike force was put together to hit it.

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a United States National Park located in western Colorado and managed by the National Park Service. There are three entrances to the park. The more-developed east entrance is located 37 miles (59 km) east of Montrose and just west of Blue Mesa Reservoir by Blue Mesa Point. The south rim entrance is located 15 miles (24 km) east of Montrose, while the north rim entrance is 11 miles (18 km) south of Crawford and is closed in the winter. The park contains 12 miles (19 km) of the 48-mile (77 km) long canyon of the Gunnison river. The national park itself contains the deepest and most dramatic section of the canyon, but the canyon continues upstream into Curecanti National Recreation Area and downstream into Gunnison Gorge National Conservation Area.
The Gunnison River drops an average of 34 feet per mile (5 m/km) through the entire canyon, making it the 5th steepest mountain descent in North America. By comparison, the Colorado River drops an average of 7.5 feet per mile (1.4 m/km) through the Grand Canyon. The greatest descent of the Gunnison River occurs within the park at Chasm View dropping 240 feet per mile (45 m/km). The Black Canyon is so named due its steepness which makes it difficult for sunlight to penetrate into its depths. As a result, the canyon is often shrouded in shadow, causing the rocky walls to appear black. At its narrowest point the canyon is only 40 feet (12 m) wide at the river.
The extreme steepness and depth of the Black Canyon formed as the result of several geologic processes acting together. The Gunnison River is primarily responsible for carving the canyon, though several other geologic events had to occur in order to form the canyon as it is seen today.

As biomedical innovation has developed advanced therapeutic modalities and prospective cures for ailments that previously had no comparable courses of treatment, the challenge of crafting sustainable reimbursement models has inspired a variety of value-based agreements. Departure from traditional dosage-based models makes it difficult for therapy developers, payers, patients, and investors to plan for a new therapy’s rollout and breadth of patient access. This session will explore the early lessons from current value-based agreements to explain the payers’ expectations for future models of reimbursing treatments based on outcomes versus delivery.

Since I'm starting to play with some sub-miniature cameras, I realized I have no way to develop the film from them.
I searched the web and found that the lomography website has great instructions on how to modify a Patterson film reel to fit 16mm film. Great idea, It works like a charm. Luckily, I had a spare reel lying around.
Shown here is the reel loaded with a scrap of 16mm film. You only need 170 mL of chems to process a roll.
Phase One told me that Capture One Pro 6.3.5 doesn't support Pentax DNG-files. Only Adobe DNG 1.2 (whatever that is). So, these funny colours occure from the DNG-files from my Pentax K-01.
The images with a purple sky are DNG files. The normally looking images are JPEG's.
So, I am going to use Silkypix Pentax for my K-01 "RAW" files. I'm not very happy about this, because I don't really want more than one RAW converter. And Capture One (made by Phase One who also own Phase One, Mamiya and Leaf cameras) is (otherwise) a brilliant tool for converting and editing photographs.
Anybody know of a Pentax DNG to Adobe DNG file converter?
June 2014: I use Adobe Lightroom today - no problems supporting DNG's from the K-line or the 645D. I hate the user interface, though. I never really know what I'm doing or where my images are stored.

All the things I ordered to be able to develop black and white film came in today (February 10th, 2010). Pictured here is the Kodak D-76 developer and Kodak fixer, along with a Patterson Universal tank and a good thermometer. I also got some Ilford Ilfostop stopbath and Kodak Photo-Flo 200 for the other steps. Also, I got some Ilford ID-11 and Ilford fixer so I could try them out and compare the results with the Kodak chemicals. While I was at it, I also added in a generous selection of black and white films, 100 and 400 ISO, in 135 and 120 sizes. Since the Patterson tank can develop both, I have everything I need now.
It's been almost 30 years since I last developed film and I'm anxious to get my hands back into the process. As of midnight, I had my first roll of Fomapan Classic black and white film developed and hanging to dry. Can't wait to scan the negatives and post them here on Flickr.

For decades, developing and emerging economies have relied on traditional financing solutions intermediated by commercial banks with limited capital market activity. A vital challenge for these countries is how to mobilise more finance to help accelerate their development and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This event comes at a critical juncture as developed economies begin to tighten their monetary policies and geopolitical tensions increase dramatically, raising new questions on how sustainable capital market ambitions could be achieved going forward.
The current turbulent environment in Europe has also highlighted the importance of energy security and the pressing need to fast-track decarbonisation efforts. This panel explored how emerging economies can achieve significant breakthroughs by mobilising cross-border finance focused on sustainable and inclusive solutions. In particular discussing the growth of blended finance and impact investment flows and their role in building up the stock of assets in emerging market economies with the aim of achieving sustainable development impact.
At the heart of the EBRD’s mandate lies a focus on environmentally sound investment and sustainable development, and the Bank is determined to promote Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) through a unique combination of policy dialogue, investments, and private sector focus. The panel also explored how various parties -- the emerging countries’ authorities, advanced economies’ governments interested in supporting sustainable development, impact investors and IFIs - could work together to support the much-needed quantum leap in finance.

You know your product is doing well in the marketplace when you start inspiring competitors to develop their own "not quite the same" take. One such product would be the Cu-Poche line from Kotobukiya.
Cu-Poche is a line that was clearly meant to compete with the reigning champion of the SD (Super Deformed) figure market, the Nendoroid line from Good Smile Company. Started in mid 2013, the line seems to still be active, but with releases numbering in the high hundred or so and not the 800+ releases that have graced the Nendoroid catalog.
While both lines do feature SD characters, the Cu-Poche figures are taller than their Nendoroid counterparts. Collectors of Nendoroid will know that there are several Nendoroid bodies, and the one that Cu-Poche competes against would be Nendoroids with the action bodies, having articulation rather than replaceable limbs.
With releases in both these lines being approximately 4,000 yen in 2013, what makes a Cu-Poche different and is it better or worse?
Using my sample Cu-Poche entry (Saber, again), I decided to do a bit more digging.
Like a Nendoroid, this set comes with several expression plates, relevant accessories and hands to utilize these accessories, and a dynamic stand.
Saber specifically comes with I believe it's Excalibur, the scabbard, an energy effect, as well as her Invisible Air sword (it's hard to make out on the photo, but take my word for it the various etchings on the coloured blade are on there too).
A comparison between this Saber and a 2013 action Nendoroid shows that while both have very similar points of articulation, the Nendoroid has at least one additional point of articulation just under the chest. Otherwise, they're pretty much a one to one comparison though that one missing point is a doozy. Both feature articulated ankles, but neither has fully articulated wrists.
The figure has several points of articulation on the skirt to allow for greater posing options, though the front flap only hangs onto the body through a very shallow groove, which causes that flat to come detached quite easily. I also found that her left shoulder pad came off quite consistently when posing.
Due to the slightly larger size, I found that handling the accessories and the hands of the Cu-Poche to be a significantly less maddening experience in comparison to the Nendoroid.
Paint work on the Saber is pretty good, with minimal overspray and bleeding even in some of the more detailed sections of her outfit. Decal work is solid as well, with the only hint of her Kobobukiya heritage being a slightly rough finish on the finer details of her hair.
So other than being slightly bigger, what else does a Cu-Poche offer?
Well, you may not notice this, but Saber is actually free standing in most of her photographs. There is no Nendoroid that I've ever owned that would actually allow you to do this.
So what sorcery allows for this? The answer is - magnets.
Cu-Poche have have magnets embedded into the soles of their feet which allows them to hold a vast array of positions while on their base. While the stubbiness of these figures doesn't exactly allow for the most elegant of poses, you can still coax some pretty neat stuff out of the figure.
The dynamic stand works as you would expect - there's a hole on the back of Saber, and you plug it in to suspend your figure in the air.
The actual arm itself looks very much like a Nendoroid arm. I guess the design is public domain?
So in the battle between Nendoroid and Cu-Poche, who won?
It appears that even today, the pricing between the two lines are very similar. The body hasn't changed, so Nendoroid still win the articulation game. My desire to go balls deep into either line is very limited as overly cute things are more of an accent piece in my collection rather than being the focus.
While each product line will inevitably have licenses unique to them, but given the same character I surprisingly would have to say I'd lean towards Cu-Poche for the magnets and the overall easier handling of the parts.
Naturally, with things I prefer over others, I don't see too many classifieds up selling this line, or even the Nendoroid cousin line, Parform, which I hope to get a hold of one day to do some analysis.
This is all just a nice way of saying I wouldn't hesitate to pick these up if I find them for a good price, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the next one to show up here.

On December 8th, 2012 P4K and EPN launched the Farmers of the Future program officially in Gueriguinde. Both the Minister of Education and the Minister of Livestock participated in front of a huge crowd of 400! This program is being piloted in three schools in Libore, with the goal of changing the mindset of children about agriculture -- teaching them that it is a business not merely a way to subsist.
