Georgia Governor Bryan Kemp begins to rescind his statewide stay-at-home order instituted to contain the coronavirus, even as the statewide death toll rises.
20 April 2020.
***************
▶ “Gov. Brian Kemp took the first step Monday to reopen a Georgia economy battered by social restrictions to contain the coronavirus [...] allowing certain businesses — gyms, fitness centers, bowling alleys, body art studios, barbers, cosmetologists, hair designers, nail care artists, estheticians, their respective schools & massage therapists, among others to open their doors on Friday [24 April 2020].
Kemp also announced that theaters and dine-in restaurants will be allowed to reopen on April 27. [Bars, nightclubs, operators of amusement park rides, and live performance venues will remain closed.] However, a statewide shelter-at-home order remains in effect through the end of the month.
Under the emergency powers granted him by the General Assembly, Kemp said the easing of business restrictions would be uniform statewide 'and will be the operational standard in all jurisdictions. This means local action cannot be taken that is more or less restrictive.'
The announcement came as Georgia’s death toll from COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, reached 775 by Monday evening — an increase of 86 since Sunday night. Laboratory tests have confirmed coronavirus diagnoses in more than 19,000 Georgians.
Public health experts warned he was all but inviting a new wave of infections. 'It’s a very big risk,' said Dr. Marc Lipsitch, a professor of epidemiology at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. 'If you open up enough, it’s almost for certain the virus will hit Georgia again. It’s just waiting for more susceptible people and more contacts. That’s how viruses work.'
Kemp was among the last of the nation’s governors to impose statewide social-distancing measures, and now is among the first to begin lifting them.”

Star Forming Region - Sharpless Nebula
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope presents a festive holiday greeting that's out of this world. The bipolar star-forming region, called Sharpless 2-106, looks like a soaring, celestial snow angel. The outstretched "wings" of the nebula record the contrasting imprint of heat and motion against the backdrop of a colder medium.
Sharpless 2-106, Sh2-106 or S106 for short, lies nearly 2,000 light-years from us. The nebula measures several light-years in length. It appears in a relatively isolated region of the Milky Way galaxy.
A massive, young star, IRS 4 (Infrared Source 4), is responsible for the furious activity we see in the nebula. Twin lobes of super-hot gas, glowing blue in this image, stretch outward from the central star. This hot gas creates the "wings" of our angel.
A ring of dust and gas orbiting the star acts like a belt, cinching the expanding nebula into an "hourglass" shape. Hubble's sharp resolution reveals ripples and ridges in the gas as it interacts with the cooler interstellar medium.
Dusky red veins surround the blue emission from the nebula. The faint light emanating from the central star reflects off of tiny dust particles. This illuminates the environment around the star, showing darker filaments of dust winding beneath the blue lobes.
Detailed studies of the nebula have also uncovered several hundred brown dwarfs. At purely infrared wavelengths, more than 600 of these sub-stellar objects appear. These "failed" stars weigh less than a tenth of our Sun. Because of their low mass, they cannot produce sustained energy through nuclear fusion like our Sun does. They encompass the nebula in a small cluster.
The Hubble images were taken in February 2011 with the Wide Field Camera 3. Visible narrow-band filters that isolate the hydrogen gas were combined with near-infrared filters that show structure in the cooler gas and dust.

I may have failed this year but next year I will be back and ready to SHIP!
I have learned a few valuable lessons from this year and from my first (still in progress) SHIP:-
1) Dedicate a few extra days (not just weekends, like this time) to actual building!
2) Have my collection sorted and ready to go, BEFORE September (I lost at least a day and a half sorting bricks so that I could find things).
3) Use LDD to sketch out ideas early in the process (rather than the more hit and miss 'start building and see what happens' method that I used this year) so that I know what I am working with and aiming for, and tied to this......
4)..... work out earlier the bricks I need from Bricklink so that I don't end up having to make important but late orders (which shot me in the foot this year - I am still waiting for my final order to come!!)
5) Maybe ease back on the play function details :-s As much as I love to add them, it does take me time to sort them out and get them working (I spent waaay too much time on my harpoons this year!)
6) Make sure that I get involved next time and have at least as much fun as I had this year! Even though I didn't finish in time, I have really loved the whole vibe of SHIPtember. It has certainly given my building a much needed boost and it has been great seeing everyone get fired up about building SHIPs and turning out some outstanding creations (even the unfinished ones!)
Are there any more months with building challenges? I know that we are now in MA.Ktober, but I am not sure I can do that one :-s Perhaps GARC does need a month? (even though it is still badass!)
For the second time in a week ( first was Monday 31st October ) the Colas operated Oxwellmains - Aberdeen Cement working, 6A65, failed and was looped at Drem. It was the same loco on both days as failed 60021 sits in the Down Loop at Drem on Wednesday 2nd November 2016 awaiting a rescue loco to come from Oxwellmains.
This shot had to be taken from the car park as the shot from the platform had the signal on the Down Main obscuring the loco.

Powered up my Instax for Polaroid Week and the first photo was a fail. I was trying to snap a picture at the vegetable stand. I'll try again!
eu era o único que nao tinha feito blend desse shoot?
não gostei, tô com o psd, alguem se dispõe a tentar deixar legal? enfim, ate a proxima galera
Utata Iron Photographer 103 challenge.
All three of the following elements must be present:
1. a bottle
2. shoe(s)
3. posted upside down
some of my photos are bad, some are dull. a fair few are total fails.
decided to start showing the "best" of the fails.
I think I'm going to submit this to Fail blog!
LOLz this is for you Justin.
Taken at the NY Toy Fair at the Jacob Javits Convention Center, NYC.
More to come...I'll catch up with everyone real soon!

“Bell Boing V-34 Osprey”
...
...the concept for the Bell Boeing V-34 Osprey was developed in last few months of 2023, which is the evolved version of it’s predecessor, the V-22. Due to the failed actions of the previous model, the V-34 was not confirmed an active military aircraft until early 2028 when it began production. It was fist seen in action during the “Chicago Riots” in late 2028, where it played a key part of the resistance when taking back the city. As the production rate of these vehicles have increased, it has been present in action for many of the following physical conflicts, such as those that have happened in California, Washington, and New York...”
“...Since the Bell Boeing series has always been considered by the military as means of transport, they have a lack of and offensive weaponry; however, turret attachment can be station on both sides of the troop compartment, where it is possible to provide extra firepower. The advancement from it’s previous model (V-22) have been a reduction in size, a slight change in design to improve ariel performance, and a crew compartment that is accessed by a sliding door on both sides of the aircraft; it is not piloted by a single pilot rather than two, and a variety of enhancements that allow it to be the first successful model of its series to be notably used in action...

Come vorrei aver scattato questa foto in formato RAW... ad ogni modo, come anticipato nelle foto postate ieri, l'airone era li per procurarsi del cibo. E infatti come potete vedere nella foto di sopra è riuscito a procacciarsi una bella carpa! Sfortunatamente la carpa gli e' sfuggita dal becco mentre stava tornando a riva... tutta la sequenza la vedete nelle foto postate sotto. (sfortunatamente non sono riuscito ad ottenere foto decenti degli istanti prima della cattura)
I wish I had shot this picture in RAW format... anyway, as already mentioned in the shots posted yesterday, the heron was there to get some food. Indeed as you can see from the picture it was able to catch a nice carp! Unfortunatel the fish fell off its bill while it was gettin back to the isle... you can see all the sequence in the shots posted below. (unfortunately I was not able to get nice shots of the moments right before the capture of the fish)

The exhibition is part of the international panel of EXPOLAROID events.
Guaizine and I are pleased to invite everyone for the opening to be held at 6,30pm, April 1st..
failaroids is an idea I have been working on/collecting for during the past 10 years, now taking shape as a selection of 55 failed photographs on integral film.
The exhibition, collecting a selection of 55 failed photographs on all types of integral films, is part of the panel of EXPOLAROID international events. More details on the exhibition are coming in the next days, so stay tuned for more! Also coming soon more informations on how you can purchase these rather unique pieces.
