We came across a sweet deal on energy efficient, environmentally conscious LED light bulbs so we decided to install them throughout our house. We had spiral CFL lights before, and we donated all of them so they will still be put to good use. LED lights do produce a nice warm glow, similar to incandescent bulbs. I just used a flash here to make it look cool! :o)
LEDs are much better than incandescent or CFLs because they don't contain mercury, they use far less energy and they last a lifetime.
Danjoutin, France 🇫🇷 : The new Efficient Hybrid Lion's City 12 from Belfort's Optymo bus network are now on the roads.
Energy efficient LED lighting illuminates the Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge: red, white, and blue for the American arches over the Soo Locks; red and white for the Canadian arch over the Sault Canal. View from Lake Superior State University.
The International Bridge- -a 4.5 kilometer / 2.8 mile long metal Cantilever (suspended deck) Warren Through Truss two lane bridge with a two span arch over the American Soo Locks and a single span arch over the Canadian Sault Canal. It was designed by the New York architectural firm of Steinman, Boynton, Gronquist and London; the bridge opened October 1962. The bridge spans the St. Marys River and connects Sault Ste. Marie Michigan to Sault Ste. Marie Ontario.

Modern railroading and the efficient planning of transfer movement was in full display on a recent Saturday evening. DL had provided notice that there would be 10,000' of traffic to move to Rose Lake with 4 GP's. Once getting the yard mowed and with no family plans for the evening, Grady and I headed out for a recon of Valley Junction. It didn't take us long to find a pair of monster transfer runs making doubles and triples in parallel of each other.
The NS power is on the point of Alton & Southern's 202 job. On this day they had 10,000+ feet for the TRRA at Madison Yard and would run north up the Illinois Transfer main out of the "Cotton Belt" side of the Gateway Yard complex.
The four pack of KCS Geeps are train YES212 05 and are approaching the UP Chester Sub diamonds at Valley Junction while making their own double in the former IC Hump Yard in East St Louis.
Both trains would eventually depart and cross paths again at Willows Tower - with the KCS being the home road and winner of that matchup. The A&S job would have ESTL grade crossings tied up for at least an hour. Hopefully the locals didn't pull any pins - but Grady and I were long on our way home and didn't stick around to find out!

The efficient Red-eye from Osaka to Kuala Lumpur took me here in just over six hours. A bit of soothing and quietude was in order so I hurried to the city's lovely Taman Tasik Perdana - the Lake Gardens. Of course I had my camera in hand...
I was in fact looking to renew acquaintance with a Frog-Friend, some sort of cousin of mine whom I'd met earlier this year (see my www.flickr.com/photos/87453322@N00/11748645636). And indeed we had a little croak together and a slip-in among the lilypads. That's where I saw a whole flock of wonderful Flour-White Dashers, Brachydiplax farinosa. Now and then this one would come back to its favorite perch, here on a White Water Lily Petal.
The energy-efficient Norfolk Southern GoRail engine was handed off to the CN to burn off horsepower hours owed to the CN. This engine wound its way on to the CN Freeport sub, leading a grain extra. Here is ethanol train U706-91, passing in front of the new fire station, eastbound at Plato Center, IL. Five flashes were used to illuminate the train; one flash illuminated the fire station.

once upon a time, I tried to be proper and efficient and have a plan. you know, shot list, things to try, positions for me to get into, poses for the models to get into. and looking back on the stuff I did a while ago,... yes I cringe,... and die a little inside.
It wound up stressing me out,... to the point that I would be too busy wasting time trying to not waste time with what I thought it should be,... at the expense of what could really have been.
Somewhere along the way I realized that something was broken,... so I stopped trying.
I lie,... kind of,... I was fresh out of ideas,... and walking into a shoot,... is how it really was.
And perhaps most importantly was that I hadn't gotten my mandatory 7 hour beauty sleep.
That left me drained,... lacking the necessary energy to be genki and jovial and any other equally smiley adjective you can think of.
And the shoot went brilliantly,... or more precisely, the banter that was had was brilliant and, as a result, the pictures came out pretty nice too. A bit more intimate than they would otherwise have been.
I realized that I couldn't possibly expect something real and unfiltered if I myself were not real and unfiltered. People are wary animals, they feed off of one another and vibes are read.
So you cant ask for something that you yourself are not prepared to give.
What I learned that day was that if you want real and intimate,... you have to put it out there first,... regardless of if it's your first ever meet or you've been shooting together for ages.
And if you're lucky,... they'll share their real and intimate with you,... and you'll get some, if not all, of it back,...
And you'll have made a new friend,...
And you'll walk home with a few rolls of memories that'll mean more to you than just a bunch of pretty pictures.

Argentina.
Patagonia.
Santa Cruz Province
The Perito Moreno Glacier (Spanish: Glaciar Perito Moreno) is a glacier located in the Los Glaciares National Park in southwest Santa Cruz Province, Argentina. It is one of the most important tourist attractions in the Argentinian Patagonia.
The glacier is unusual in that it is advancing, while most glaciers worldwide are retreating. The reason remains debated by glaciologists. The terminus of the Perito Moreno Glacier is 5 kilometres (3 mi) wide, with an average height of 74 m (240 ft) above the surface of the water of Argentino Lake, in Argentina. It has a total ice depth of 170 metres (558 ft).
Due to its size and accessibility, Perito Moreno is one of the major tourist attractions in southern Patagonia. It is less than two hours by bus from El Calafate, and many tour companies run daily visits. A large visitor centre at the site features a walking circuit which allows visitors to view the southern flank and the east facing edge of the glacier.

Blue ice occurs when snow falls on a glacier, is compressed, and becomes part of the glacier. Air bubbles are squeezed out and ice crystals enlarge, making the ice appear blue.
Small amounts of regular ice appear to be white because of air bubbles inside them and also because small quantities of water appear to be colourless. In glaciers, the pressure causes the air bubbles to be squeezed out increasing the density of the created ice. Large quantities of water appear to be blue, as it absorbs other colours more efficiently than blue. Therefore, a large piece of compressed ice, or a glacier, would appear blue.

An otter putting on a display of how efficient of a fisher it is.
This otter spent well over two hours feeding through this opening in the ice. The skill it exhibited was quite apparent as it often surfaced with more than one fish. In this photo, notice that it has a fish in its mouth, and two more actively flopping on the ice prior to being devoured.

The Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA) is a new, more compact solar panel that will snap open in space, a favorable design over the rigid solar panels currently in use, pictured above.
Solar panels are an efficient way to generate power, but they can be delicate and large when used to power a spacecraft or satellites. They are often tightly stowed for launch and then must be unfolded when the spacecraft reaches orbit. The Roll-Out Solar Array (ROSA), is a solar panel concept that is lighter and stores more compactly for launch than the rigid solar panels currently in use. ROSA has solar cells on a flexible blanket and a framework that rolls out like a tape measure. The technology for ROSA is one of two new solar panel concepts that were developed by the Solar Electric Propulsion project, sponsored by NASA’s Space Technology Mission Directorate.
The new solar panel concepts are intended to provide power to electric thrusters for use on NASA’s future space vehicles for operations near the Moon and for missions to Mars and beyond. They might also be used to power future satellites in Earth orbit, including more powerful commercial communications satellites. The demonstration of the deployment of ROSA on the space station is sponsored by the Air Force Research Laboratory.

The elves worked diligently and efficiently to help stop a dwarven invasion on Avalonia and the Drow, to prevent war and promote peace. They sent out scouts on their newly tamed wargs and built towers to detect any sign of dwarves, and to stop them. Unfortunately, despite their efforts, it all came to nothing. The dwarves secretly mined underneath their very nose, and gained entry into Avalonia, ready to take war on the Drow..."
My entry into the Guilds of Historica Book II Challenge III Category B - Deceiving Elves
Phew! I can't believe I finished it in time! Thanks to the extension of the deadline and a canceled family gathering, I had enough time to finish my second entry into the GoH Challenge. Once again I experimented in one of Grant Davis's techniques that he created in his creation "Undermining." (If you have not checked out Grant's creation yet, what are you waiting for!? Go give it a look! ;) ) Tons of fun to build, making all the little sections of rock pieces fit together was so much fun (although very delicate)!
The details on the top were also fun to add, I finally got to use my wargs! :D Even though wars in LOTR are evil, I always though they were kinda cool, so if you could tame them...they could be quite lethal and well worth the effort. ;)
All in all, a decent build, there are a few more things I would have liked to try if I had more time, but deadlines are deadlines. ;)
Thanks for viewing, and enjoy!
Soli Deo Gloria!

I enjoy this very young music and I love the video that shows the story of a young man, who builds his very own ‚Efficient Machine´ and so turns himself into some supernatural transformer creature.

L'odio
Guardate com’è sempre efficiente
come si mantiene in forma
nel nostro secolo l’odio,
con quanta facilità supera gli ostacoli
come gli è facile avventarsi, agguantare.
Non è come gli altri sentimenti,
insieme più vecchio e più giovane di loro,
da solo genera le cause
che lo fanno nascere.
Se si addormenta il suo non è mai un sonno eterno,
l’insonnia non lo indebolisce ma lo rafforza.
Religione o non religione
purché ci si inginocchi per il via
Patria o non patria
purché si scatti alla partenza
Anche la giustizia va bene all’inizio,
poi corre tutto solo,
l’odio. L’odio.
Una smorfia di estasi amorosa
gli deforma il viso.
Oh, quegli altri sentimenti
malaticci e fiacchi!
Da quando la fratellanza
può contare sulle folle?
La compassione è mai
arrivata per prima al traguardo?
Il dubbio quanti volenterosi trascina?
Lui solo trascina, che sa il fatto suo.
Capace, sveglio, molto laborioso…
Occorre dire quante canzoni ha composto?
Quante pagine ha scritto nei libri di storia?
Quanti tappeti umani ha disteso
su quante piazze, stadi?
Diciamoci la verità:
sa creare bellezza
splendidi i suoi bagliori nella notte nera
magnifiche le nubi degli scoppi nell’alba rosata
innegabile è il pathos delle rovine
e l’umorismo grasso
della colonna che vigorosa le sovrasta.
È un maestro del contrasto
tra fracasso e silenzio
tra sangue rosso e neve bianca
e soprattutto non lo annoia mai
il motivo del lindo carnefice
sopra la vittima insozzata.
In ogni istante è pronto a nuovi compiti.
Se deve aspettare aspetterà.
Lo dicono cieco. Cieco?
Ha la vista acuta del cecchino
e guarda risoluto al futuro.
Lui solo.

Moving efficiently around orbital spaceports and also on low gravity moons, these spacecraft were a practical and popular product from Llwyngwril Space Systems. Large engines and a big magno-clamp load bed enabled a wide variety of loads to be quickly and easily shifted around loading bays and warehouses. The large area under the load bed was given over to fuel tanks, meaning that the ship only had be re-fuelled when its pilots changed shift.
With centuries of hard use, these workhorses gradually became increasingly unreliable. Obsolescence also meant that spare parts became hard to find. The crews of the ships generally replaced one of the consonants in the ships' name, due to poor rates of availability and safety.

In a world where the puny organics were unable to efficiently allocate resources using a price system or free trade, one man suggested that supercomputers would be able to allocate resources perfectly for all on this world. However the supercomputers were so efficient at allocating resources that they turned on their fleshy overlords, viewing them as an inefficient expense. So came these freedom fighters wishing to free all mechanisms from their organic captors, and to efficiently allocate all resources in the known universe. However legend says that they will not be able to allocate resources perfectly until the return of their DNA-based messiah.
The Reapers are fairly new additions to the ranks of the derogatorily (due to their diminutive size) labeled "Tinkertoys". They're quick in mind as well as on their feet, and they don't require exotic or large amounts of materials. However their great power is their ability to operate an extensive arsenal of weapons, affording them a flexibility in the theater that is unrivaled currently. With these new troops the Supercomputers have set their eyes on one of the biggest robo-slave traders, the Hero Factory.

Crab is a superior form not only in nature: turns out it is efficient in combat as well.
Callinectes, nicknamed "siege crab" by NMC personnel, is heavy-armored all-terrain walker with two main purposes.
First - to clear the way of rubble for advancing troops, dig trenches and make other defensive structures.
Second - to provide those troops with artillery fire with its 155mm howitzer.
Six main legs provide substantial mobility to Callinectes on difficult terrain.
Two giant manipulators resembling crab claws not only can lift, cut and tear heavy debris, but also act as movable shields for covering the chassis - or personnel on the ground.
Two hands at the back are used to dig and plow, above them are separate set of optic and other sensors. That makes moving back almost equivalent to moving forward for Callinectes.
Other than heavy armor the Siege crab has only one machine gun turret and active defense systems - it mostly relies on ground troops and light vehicles for protecting it in close combat.

Heard about carcinisation? I bet you did. Time for Crab is all about it.
I pretty much thought about making something like this since the first time I saw this event. This time I take part in it myself. Enjoy!
Also it is sort of a spiritual successor to Mudcrab - chech that out if you haven't.
