Watched a beautiful night launch of the Russian Progress-MS10 cargo vehicle while #ISS was flying right above Baikonur. Destination: us at the International Space Station.
Konnten einen beeindruckenden Nachtstart des Russischen Raumtransporters Progress-MS10 beobachten als wir direkt über Baikonur hinwegzogen (siehe 2. Bild links unten, danach rechts oben). Ziel: wir ISS. Letztes Foto zeigt Wiedereintritt der 1. Stufe

The Carousel of Progress is an attraction located at the Magic Kingdom Park at the Walt Disney World Resort, currently operating under the name Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. Created by both Walt Disney and WED Enterprises as the prime feature of the General Electric (GE) Pavilion for the 1964 New York World's Fair, the attraction was moved to Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, remaining there from 1967 until 1973. It was replaced in Disneyland by America Sings in 1974, and reopened in its present home in Walt Disney World Resort's Magic Kingdom in 1975.

The base floor went down last week and the builders made a start on plaster boarding the walls today.

The unpiloted ISS Progress 36 resupply vehicle departs from the International Space Station's Zvezda Service Module's aft port on May 10, 2010. Filled with trash and discarded items, the Progress will be used for scientific experiments until it is deorbited and burned up in Earth's atmosphere.

How do you measure progress? Is bigger always better and smaller always more powerful? Is human intervention always necessary, or do we evolve in any case? And is progress always a good thing? These are the questions being asked in Maarten Vanden Eynde´s Pinpointing Progress. In this sculpture he links several modern achievements with one another. At a certain moment, buses, mopeds, bicycles and radios were regarded as the most advanced technology. In the twentieth century these inventions were proudly exported by both the West and the USSR. It was a race to be the most advanced, which would confirm the superiority of an ideology. This sculpture was originally made for the Biennial of Riga in 2018, where today only the tiniest, uppermost item of the spear is produced, the transistor. In this way, Vanden Eynde´s tower visualizes the speed of evolution.
The construction of Pinpointing Progress refers to the town musicians of Bremen, the folk tale of the Brothers Grimm, in which four ageing and mistreated domestic animals join forces in order to escape from their wicked masters. The story attests to the poor working conditions and abuses that often seem to be the flip side of progress. Just think of the building works that Leopold II realized along the Belgian coast, such as the port of Zeebrugge, the coastal road and the station of Ostend. This king, whose misdeeds are among the worst atrocities in history, turned the coast into a region enjoying a global reputation. However, he accomplished this using the wealth he accumulated by exploiting the Congolese population. Today when we think of technological progress, we imagine the developments of tech giants such as Google or Apple, which in their quest for mineral ores in the Congo still make use of child slavery. Violations of human rights appear to be indissolubly linked to modernization. Pinpointing Progress cautiously draws up the balance and understands: one day, the Tower of the Progress might collapse again.
Yesterday I started a 'Learn to knit socks' course with two friends from my patchwork class. I have forgotten all I ever knew about knitting with DPN's (which wasn't a lot) so it was a *fun* first lesson.
I struggled big time to begin with and ended up having to rip everything off the needles and start again. But I managed it in the end.....and we have progress! LOL!
My homework for this week is to finish the rib section.

Felt well enough on covid day 4 to make my chicken stew. Hits the spot! Still dealing with serious fatigue & low temperature even on Tylenol, but feel like I may have turned the corner toward gettin well. Here’s hoping!
Backdropped by the blue and white Earth, an unpiloted Progress 7 supply vehicle departs from the Zvezda Service Module’s docking port on the International Space Station (ISS) carrying its load of trash and unneeded equipment to be deorbited and burned up in the atmosphere. The undocking clears the way for the arrival of a new Progress 8, filled with fresh supplies, which is planned to dock to the station at 1:25 a.m. (CDT)

My lovely porcelain 'Beatrice' by Olga Good modelling some work in progress. The red beading on the bodice looked great in life, but shows up as too out of scale in the photo- back to the drawing board!!
The Carousel of Progress is an attraction located at the Magic Kingdom Park at the Walt Disney World Resort, currently operating under the name Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. Created by both Walt Disney and WED Enterprises as the prime feature of the General Electric (GE) Pavilion for the 1964 New York World's Fair, the attraction was moved to Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, remaining there from 1967 until 1973. It was replaced in Disneyland by America Sings in 1974, and reopened in its present home in Walt Disney World Resort's Magic Kingdom in 1975.
Steeped in both nostalgia and futurism, the attraction's premise is an exploration of the joys of living through the advent of electricity and other technological advances during the 20th century via a "typical" American family. To keep it up with the times, the attraction has been updated five times (in 1967, 1975, 1981, 1985, and 1993) and has had two different theme songs, both written by the Sherman Brothers (Disney's Academy Award-winning songwriting team).
Various sources say Walt Disney himself proclaimed that the Carousel of Progress was his favorite attraction and that it should never cease operation. This can be somewhat supported by family and friends, who knew of his constant work on the attraction. Of all the attractions he presented at the 1964–1965 New York World's Fair, Disney seemed especially devoted to the Carousel of Progress.
The Carousel of Progress holds the record as the longest-running stage show, with the most performances, in the history of American theater. It is one of the oldest attractions in the whole Walt Disney World Resort. It is also one of the only attractions at Walt Disney World to have been touched by Walt Disney himself.
