China Developing
China's urban development is concomitant with its economic development and integration with the dynamics of globalization. The gaps are widening between cities and countryside to reach limits never crossed. The development of rural areas, where more than 600 million Chinese still live, is a gigantic task for the Communist Party. That's why the government is building territory development programs. And comfortable houses rather than wooden houses. Young people are convinced.
These laudable goals want to make the Chinese people a "rich people" and the country the world's largest economic power, while in the countryside the population is very poor. People still live there as in the Middle Ages. Xi Jinping, the Chinese PC President has imposed a new motto: the Chinese Dream as the American Dream. It is about working for the great renaissance of the Chinese nation
The Lavochkin La-5 (Лавочкин Ла-5) was a Soviet fighter aircraft of World War II. It was a development and refinement of the LaGG-3 and was one of the Soviet Air Force's most capable types of warplane.
Development
The La-5's heritage began even before the outbreak of war, with the LaGG-1, a promising yet underpowered aircraft – turning a full circle, for example, took 20 seconds. The LaGG-3 was a modification of that design that attempted to correct this by both lightening the airframe and fitting a more powerful engine. Nevertheless, this was not enough, and the lack of power remained a significant problem.
In early 1942, two of the LaGG-1 and -3's designers, Semyon Lavochkin and Vladimir Gorbunov, attempted to correct this deficiency by experimentally fitting a LaGG-3 with the more powerful Shvetsov ASh-82 radial engine. Since the LaGG-3 was powered by an inline engine, they accomplished this by grafting on the nose section of a Sukhoi Su-2 (which used this engine). By now, the shortcomings of the LaGG-3 had caused Lavochkin to fall out of Joseph Stalin's favour, and factories previously assigned to LaGG-3 construction had been turned over to building the rival Yakovlev Yak-1 and Yak-7. The design work required to adapt the LaGG-3 to the new engine and still maintain the aircraft's balance was undertaken by Lavochkin in a small hut beside an airfield over the winter of 1941-1942, all completely unofficially.
When the prototype took flight in March, the result was extremely pleasing - the fighter finally had a powerplant that allowed it to perform as well in the air as it had been supposed to on paper. After flying, the LaG-5 (the change in name reflecting that one of the original LaGG designers was no longer with the programme), Air Force test pilots declared it superior to the Yak-7, and intensive flight tests began in April. After only a few weeks, the design was modified further, cutting down the rear fuselage to give the pilot better visibility.
By July, Stalin ordered maximum-rate production of the aircraft, now simply known as the La-5 and the conversion of any incomplete LaGG-3 airframes to the new configuration. The prototype was put in mass production almost immediately in factories located in Moscow and in the Yaroslav region. While still inferior to the best German fighters at high altitudes, the La-5 proved to be every bit their match closer to the ground. With most of the air combat over the Eastern Front taking place at altitudes of under 5,000 m (16,404 ft), the La-5 was very much in its element. Its rate of roll was excellent.
Further refinement of the aircraft involved a fuel-injected engine, further lightening of the aircraft, and fixed slats to improve all-round performance. This was designated the La-5FN and would become the definitive version of the aircraft. A full circle turn took 18–19 seconds. Altogether, 9,920 La-5s of all variants were built, including a number of dedicated trainer versions, designated La-5UTI. Several La-5s had three Berezin B-20 cannon installed in the nose capable of a salvo of 3.4 kg/s rounds. Further refinements of the aircraft would lead to the Lavochkin La-7.
A number of La-5s continued in the service of Eastern Bloc nations after the end of the war, including Czechoslovakia.
Flying the La-5
In the summer of 1943, a brand-new La-5 made a forced landing on a German airfield providing the Luftwaffe with an opportunity to test-fly the newest Soviet fighter. Test pilot Hans-Werner Lerche wrote a detailed report of his experience.[1] He particularly noted that the La-5FN excelled at altitudes below 3,000 m (9,843 ft) but suffered from short range and flight time of only 40 minutes at cruise engine power. All of the engine controls (throttle, mixture, propeller pitch, radiator and cowl flaps, and supercharger gearbox) had separate levers which served to distract the pilot during combat to make constant adjustments or risk suboptimal performance. For example, rapid acceleration required moving no less than six levers. In contrast, contemporary German aircraft, especially the BMW 801 radial-engined variants of the Focke-Wulf Fw 190 front line fighter, had largely automatic engine controls with the pilot operating a single lever and electromechanical devices, like the Kommandogerät pioneering engine computer on the radial-engined Fw 190s, making the appropriate adjustments. Due to airflow limitations, the engine boost system (Forsazh) could not be used above 2,000 m (6,562 ft). Stability in all axes was generally good. The authority of the ailerons was deemed exceptional but the rudder was insufficiently powerful at lower speeds. At speeds in excess of 600 km/h (370 mph), the forces on control surfaces became excessive. Horizontal turn time at 1,000 m (3,281 ft) and maximum engine power was 25 seconds.
In comparison with Luftwaffe fighters, the La-5FN was found to have a comparable top speed and acceleration at low altitude. It possessed a higher roll rate and a smaller turn radius than the Bf 109 and a better climb rate than the Fw 190A-8. The Bf 109 utilizing MW 50 had superior performance at all altitudes, and the Fw 190A-8 had better dive performance. Lerche's recommendations were to attempt to draw the La-5FN to higher altitudes, to escape attacks in a dive followed by a high-speed shallow climb, and to avoid prolonged turning engagements.
The La-5 had its defects. Perhaps the most serious being the thermal isolation of the engine, lack of ventilation in the cockpit, and a canopy that was impossible to open at speeds over 350 km/h. To make things worse, exhaust gas often entered in the cockpit due to poor insulation of the engine compartment. Consequently, pilots ignored orders and frequently flew with their canopies open.[2]
In general, Soviet pilots appreciated the La-5 as an effective fighter. "That was an excellent fighter with two cannons and a powerful air-cooled engine", recalled pilot Viktor M. Sinaisky. "The first La-5s from the Tbilisi factory were slightly inferior, while the last ones from the Gorki plant, which came to us from Ivanovo, were perfect. At first we received regular La-5s, but then we got new ones containing the ASh-82FN engine with direct injection of fuel into the cylinders. It was perfect. Everyone was in love with the La-5. it was easy to maintain too."[3] Nevertheless La-5 losses were high, the highest of all fighters in service in USSR, not considering those of the Yak-1. In 1941-45, VVS KA lost 2,591 La-5s, 73 in 1942, 1,460 in 1943, 825 the following year and 233 in 1945.

One of my favorite clips showing a staged gag where Leaonard Nimoy in costume from Spock's Brain is handcuffed at gunpoint while reading the headline of the LA Times from July 11th 1968. On this day Benjamin Spock was sentenced to a two year jail term for supporting draft evaders and declaring the Vietnam war unconsitutional in the famous Boston Five trial. This is the exact same time as the thrid season episode Spock's Brain was filmed, hence the costume. A great reminder of the political climate of 1968 in addition to the production of Star Trek.

LG Development’s HUGO masterplan includes the construction of mid-rise buildings at 751 N. Hudson Ave. and 411 W. Chicago Av. The two mixed-use structures will each stand 9 stories and will collectively house roughly 19,000 square feet of retail and 227 apartment units. The 751 N Hudson Avenue building will accommodate 134 residences; 411 W Chicago Avenue will house the remaining 93 units. Completion is scheduled for third-quarter 2023.
The two buildings replace parking lots and will be narrowly separated by 415 W. Chicago Ave, a masonry 1930 low-rise building. The seemingly vacant building is reminiscent of the building containing a cleaner (who owns it) and Bella Luna that remains at the south end of the One Chicago development because the woman refused to sell.

This B Series Leyland National was new as a Leyland development vehicle in 1978 and remained unregistered for over a year, it never leaving the confines of the Lillyhall factory.
It passed to Ribble once Leyland had finished with it and became their 686 and as it had never ventured on a public highway it gained a 'V' suffix registration.
The bus is seen here leaving Leigh bus station in 1990 bound for its home base of Bolton.

heuer microsplit LED / LCD 1/100-stopwatch development (from left): ref. HL 820 (1973) - ref. 520 (1974, this one is a ref. 530) - ref. 320 (1975) - ref. 370 (1976).
the development can see as a revolution. the size is always getting smaller, also the batterys (from 4 x AAA to 2 x LR1130 - some specials-models with accus)
> the first microsplit was designed inhouse, the other ones by richard sapper.
> the first two models are with split- and taylor-function, the following models only with split-function.
from the ref. 820 you get ref. 802 with 1/10 s. from the ref. 520 there are also models with 1/100 min. or 1/100 h. the ref. 320 has a following model in plastic (also without split-function), who endet up as a solar-model (also to TAGheuer) in diverse colours. the ref. 370 you can have with silver body und black strap.

A brief tutorial on how to do color development with a JOBO ATL-1500 processor:
1. mix the chemicals by the manufacturers instructions. i store my mixed chemicals either in PET-bottles or in Hama-bellow-bottles. I try to not store any mixed chemicals for any long period of time (max; 2-3 weeks), since they will go bad pretty quckly (which I've learned the hard way). This is even more true if you re-use chemicals.
2. Fire up the JOBO and attach it to you water supply. The first thing I always do is to run a full clean 1-6 program to get water running through the whole system. This is also a good time to start get the rinse water temperature to a correct 38 degrees C. I usually think it is enough when I get it above 37.5 and it doesn't go over 38.5. So the +- 0.5 range will do. At least for me.
3. Fill the bottles in the JOBO with your chemicals. I use a measuring glass to get the correct amount when I run E6. More to that later.
4. Verify that the program is correctly setup.
5. Just insert the loaded drum into the machine. Start the machine. Close the lid. Wait for it to finish. At least if you're running single-use chemicals.
6. When done, I open up the drum and remove the film from the reel. I try to run the final rinse in a separate container, to not get any stab chemicals on my reels.
I leave the chemicals in the stab for at least a minute. Sometimes longer. Not sure if it is good or bad :)
Then I simply hang the film try dry. Either in my drying cabin (for C41) or just in plain air (E6).
If I use the drying cabin I normally set a timer for 20 minutes when I start it and when it fires I go to check and see if the film is dry. If you leave it too long it will curl like crazy.
Tetenal C41:
The tetenal chemicals can be reused and you will still get decent results.
I normally mix up 1L chemicals and store them in bottles (PET normally, so I can squize out air). When it is time to do some development I start the JOBO, run a clean program, make sure the water temperature is correct, and then start to pour chemicals into the bottles. I normally fill them with something like 500ml.
Here's when it gets a bit tricky: to re-use the chemicals you need to gather them in a small container. Plus you do not want to get any cross-contamination between the chemicals.
I got the following at hand: containers for the used chemicals and a jug of water. When the program starts I set one of the containers under the hose of the chemical outlet. Once the processor pours out the chemicals I'm quick to tap the hose a bit (to get those few extra drops out) and the remove the container. Before I put the new container in place, I pour a bit of water on the hose. I also try to get some water _inside_ of the hose. This way I get rid of most of the chemicals. I wait until it's something like 30 seconds left until it will spit out the next batch of chemicals, I then put the new container in place. This way I know I've gotten as little developer as possible in the blix.
When I'm done I pour back the used chemicals into the 1L bottles.
Recently I've started to use a simple stop bath to even save more of the blix. I use this as a single-use chemical.
Tetenal E6:
I've found that these are easier to re-use than the C41 chemicals. I just mix up 0.5L and then gather it after each run and re-use them a few times, until I feel it is probably best to mix a new batch.
I use no stop bath of anything.
I've never failed a single roll using Tetenal's E6 kit. But I've lost quite a few C41 rolls :/ Mostly because of exhausted chemicals and the lack of stop-bath.
Kodak E6:
I use these as single-use chemicals (as they are intended to be). It's quite straight forward, except that it is a PITA to mix six baths.
I normally mix 1L at a time and try to use it over the next weeks.
I use 250ml for two rolls of 135 or 120. I also use 250ml for a sheet of 8x10".
My plan is to try if I get just use 125ml for a single sheet of 8x10". That would save me a lot of chemicals.
I've been searching the last two years a way to turn digital raw into pastel like Fujifilm 400H Pro colors.
I've failed a million times and thought that it's impossible since film reacts to light differently each time vs. digital sensor.
I've come close, but the results vary between lighting situations from bad to excellent. But now I've really cracked something cool.
This particular preset + method editing 8bit jpg (now raw) has been revolutionary discovery. I've gotten excellent results every time and the pictures are always blooming with bright pastel like colors.
I'm about to write this to my blog and release this updated 400H preset in the next few days.
