Question Mark by Terry B B Wildlife & Nature Photography

9 1

Rotting fruit, tree sap, dung, and carrion are the foods preferred by the adult Question Mark butterfly. Only when these are unavailable do Question Marks visit flowers such as common milkweed, aster, and sweet pepperbush. I photographed this one in my yard in NE Oklahoma.

YOUTUBE、更新しました😃

アップルカー、プレゼンテーション。202３年秋、発表。（僕の妄想です😃）

（動画は思い立ってすぐにテキスト書いてアップしたので棒読みです😅以下のテキストが完成版なので是非お読みください😃）

皆さんおはよう。

偶然だが、おととしの今日、私は新型コロナウィルスのワクチンを接種した。

みなさんのなかには、すでに二度目の接種を受けた方もいるだろう。

この新型コロナウィルスは世界に1つの境界線を引いた。

それまでとそれ以降だ。

私たちを取り巻く環境は激変した。

ウィルスに対応するためあらゆる場所に除菌液が設置され、部屋の空気を浄化し、そんな環境が至る所に展開されてきた。

アップルも、これらを認識しつつ、新しいプロジェクトに臨んできた。

新しい価値観を受け入れるためには、新しいスタイルが必要だ。

私たちの周囲もアップデートされなければ、私たちは生き残れないだろう。

アップルは時代を生き残るために、いくつかを提示してきた。

パーソナルコンピューターであるマッキントッシュ。

音楽デバイスであるアイポッド。

携帯電話であるアイフォーン。

そして、今日、アップルはみなさんに伝えたいことがある。

それはもうひとつのサヴァイヴだ。

アップルカー。

アップルは車を再発明する。

これまでの自動車の状態

今までのガソリン車を振り返ってみよう。

ガソリンという化石燃料を使い、ガスを排出する。そして環境を悪化させてきた。

山林は業火に見舞われ、大雨の大洪水に街はさらわれ、乾いた大地が覆い尽くす。

これからもこの状態が続くという事は地球自体の崩壊を招く。

私たちはそれを止めなければならない。少なくとも見直しに取り掛かることが重要だ。

世界的にトップだったトヨタはこれに積極的に取り掛からなかった。

すでに多くの世界で走っているハイブリッドのプリウス。

これは１９９２年に発表されたにも関わらず、新しい車種でさえも未だにハイブリッドのままだ。

発売してからの約３０年もの間、いったい彼らは何を目的としてこの車に固執し、開発してきたのか？

なぜ彼らはこの車種を見直さなかったのか？

現状のハイブリット、プラグインハイブリット。そういった類は結局は化石燃料を使っている。

彼らはこの新しい展開に積極的に臨んできたというが、現状維持という考えを変えなかった。

むしろ現時点においても、それがベストだとさえ言ってるように思えてならない。

私たちはそこで他の会社も見渡してみた。

電気自動車の現在

テスラだ。

皆さんご存知のようにテスラは積極的に環境問題に取り組み、世界規模で大きく発展し貢献してきた。化石燃料を使わない、そして自動運転、洗練されたデザイン。これらは多くの人たちを魅了してきた。

しかし広く普及はしたものの、皆さんの家のそばにこの車は走ってるだろうか？

答えはノーだ。

なぜ車が走っていないか。

私たちは3時間ほどしっかり考えた。

まぁ、たった3時間だが。

答えは単純だ。

車が高いからだ。高価すぎるのだ。

これはテスラに限らず電気自動車を作っているすべての会社に言えることだ。

とにかく車の値段が高すぎる。

私たちはこれを念頭に置きつつ、車を再発明した。

アップルカーのポイント

アップルカーのポイントは三つだ。

ひとつめ。

価格。

電気自動車が普及しない理由は非常に簡単だ。

価格が高いからだ

なぜ電気自動車が高いのか。それは本体価格の大半を占めるバッテリーの値段が最も高いからだ。

それが大きく占めている。

そこでアップルはリン酸鉄リチウムイオンバッテリーと言う素材を使うことに行き着いた。

これは全個体電池のように高価ではなく安価で、iPhoneのように充電する時間は短く、すぐに使えることを優先させ、かつ、耐久性に優れていると言うポイントがある。

私たちはこの2点を重視した。

車を短時間で充電し、短距離を即、走行可能となることを目指した。

iPhoneやアップルウォッチと同じ結論を反映させたのだ。

現在、電気自動車は長距離を走ることを目標としているが、果たして、きょう、あなたが会社から帰る際に、長距離用のバッテリが必要だろうか？

何百キロも走ることが必要だろうか？

すぐに家に帰り、すぐに充電し、また朝には出勤する。

全個体電池などという長距離が走れる高価なバッテリは、現段階では不要なのだ。

アップルはそう判断した。

次にアップルが目指したポイントの2つ目は安全性だ。

WHOの報告では、年間で世界中の事故死者数は１３５万人に上る。

これは、２４秒にひとりが命を落としている計算になる。

アップルはこの事故を劇的に減らそうと考えた。

Apple Watchを腕に巻いた子供が車の下にいた場合。

iPhone 5Gを持っている人が側道にいたり、信号待ちをしている場合。

彼らを事前に感知し、彼らには接近しないように考えた。

人の居場所を事前に察知することができれば、車は避けられる。

私たちは、車自体が人から離れることを計算した。

3つ目は先進性だ。

これまでの車と言うのは、車に乗るとわかるが、ダッシュボードにはいつもの通風口が口を開けて待っている。

これは見慣れた光景で、もううんざりだ。飽き飽きだ。

私たちはこの風景を大きく前進させる。

フロントガラスにAR機能を搭載し、ナビゲーションで誘う。

また、ダッシュボードには皆さんが持っているiPhoneやiPadを貼り付け、聴いていた音楽をそのまま車内で流せる。

もちろん、望めばそのままエンジンもスタートだ。

ワイパーなんてもう不要だ。水滴なんて風圧で飛ばすした方が美しい。

シートベルトもあなたが座れば自動で閉まる。きつ過ぎず、ゆる過ぎず、あなたは快適な空間を提供されるだろう。

また、ハンドルを握って前を見据えた瞬間にドライバーの健康状態をアップルカーは察知する。

あなたが酔っていたら、車は決して動かない。もう酔っ払い運転の事故は発生しないだろう。

以上の三つがアップルカーのポイントだ。

１　価格

２　安全性

３　先進性

アップルはこれらを重視した。

そして、皆さんが最も気になるのは価格のはずだ。

価格は29,999ドル。

車の予約は来週から。半年後にまずはアメリカから発売する。

それでは実際にアップルカーをお見せしよう。

ティム・クック、自分のApple Watchに顔を寄せて車に呼びかける。

アップルカー登場。

備考。

ここで重要なのは自動運転に触れていないこと。

多分アップルは自動運転には触れず、車をまず普及させることをアピールしてくるはず。

自動運転のアップデートは後回し。

色はのちに5色を展開。

Yet another thought... - Otro pensamiento más... by Ana Cristina García

150 28

Every time I post a photo I question myself why do I continue posting photos and depending on the mood come up with different answers. My original intention was to make the feminine persona I portray visible while showing those who took the time to view the photos my approach to crossdressing. It did not take long for me to realize that the audience we reach in social networks, though limited to the gender identity realm, is quite diverse in interests and purposes.

Over the years, the comments that I have treasured the most had to do with an appreciation for how I performed the art of feminine illusion or, even more so, with how my images and thoughts had helped them in accepting themselves and finding a guidance on how to approach their crossdressing. In my early years on the Internet, along with a few likeminded friends, there were not many of us posting photos and therefore our posts were more meaningful and helpful. Today we can easily get lost in an ever-growing virtual community, as we gain acceptance in society and people realize the need to bring their feminine persona to life.

Why, then, do I continue to post when I get to dress so little and there are so many younger and more proficient girls leading the way? I have come up with a few answers that range from not loosing touch with a community that has given me treasured friendships and understanding; to, yes, see if I can age with grace and still measure up :) In conclusion, for as long as I get to dress even if it is once a year and I have the time to take photos and share them, I will keep a presence both here and on Facebook. Being here has always provided the means to be there for anyone who needs help or advice and, on the selfish side, feel useful in a field that I only those who know it can fully understand.

Often I have been approached, via message or in person, by sisters who mention not daring to contact me before because they thought I was some sort of celebrity that would never respond. Nothing could be farthest from the truth as can be confirmed by anyone who has ever written. I am here to share my life experience and will always respond to a message and even more so if it is asking fro help. I used to comment on friends posts on a regular basis but as our community grew, I had to stop doing that due to time constraints and my inability to keep track of everyone's posts. I have always hoped that my friends have understood that since, after all, for most of us, we have complex male lives to lead.

Love you all!

The text in Spanish will appear in the following post since duty calls :)

What is going on there that is so funny?? A couple of guesses... of course it can be because of a joke... Imagine how good it should be to make smile this guy! But if I have to bet... the joy of falling through a toboggan is beyond age or species! :D

¿Qué pasa ahí que es tan divertido? Se me ocurren un par de posibilidades...pudiera ser por un chiste...imaginaros lo bueno que debe ser para hacer reir a este amigo! Pero si tuviera que apostar...la felicidad de dejarse caer por un tobogan está más allá de la edad y de la especie!! :D

Somthing Questioned by Michael Patnode

Somthing Questioned By Many

Note from Mike Patnode Oct 2020-2021

Why I believe God permits suffering: John 15:13, John 3:16

Jesus sufferd and died for us to receive eternal life with him. Revelation 21:4

Is My Suffering Meaningless? No! God does not cause us to suffer. James 1:13

I don’t know any one that enjoys suffering. But it truly has eternal value. If and only if we give it to Jesus. The Passion of Jesus on the cross. Made suffering redemptive salvific love. He conquers sin by His obedience unto death. Jesus invites us to share in His Passion. This gives meaning to our suffering. It is no longer useless and meaningless. We now can have hope in our suffering as we can offer up our sufferings in union with Him. Our suffering can become part of Christ’s work. Through my own cross. Jesus invites us to join Him in His sacrifice of love. Powerful if we can understand we are united to Christ in His suffering for the redemption of people all over the world. We are living the Eucharist. Divine suffering is the currency of Jesus Christ our Lord. Suffering can help perches souls or help souls get to heaven. We can take part in that if we offer up our sufferings to Jesus’s cross.

1 Peter 4:13. Romans 8:17. 1 Peter 2:21. Luke 6:22,23. Romans 8:17. 2 Corinthians 1:7.

Let us not waste our suffering when it can help in saving souls with Jesus. All our suffering in sickness, disease and sacrifice’s should be offerd to the Lord’s cross. The elderly can offer up so much to the cross. We can help with conversion, Faith and Salvation from our sufferings. Just imagen even helping save one soul. Colossians 1:24, Luke 15:7 and Luke 15:10.

God allows sin, suffering and death in this world. That we may know that God, Jesus and Holy Spirit is greater then every sin, suffering and death. Look to the Cross of Christ to see this. In Jesus I trust.

Please look up Bible verses to help understand how this works. Pray often for others to come to salvation. Knowing we can only fully change our self for the better. Matthew 7:3, John 7:24, Matthew 7:12

Why dose God let suffering happen? To help us to convert to following him. So we will see a need for Him. That we may rely on Him. It’s much like a spaking from a parent. To teach us something we need to know. It is out of love for us. In the hope we repent of our sin’s. That we might choose to follow Jesus.

The writings of St. Faustina Kowalska.

“If the angels were capable of envy, they would envy us for two things: one is the receiving of the Holy communion, and the other is suffering”. Her diary, entry 1804.

I hope this will help some people think differently about our suffering in this life.

Elsa by myri_bonnie

30 41

Question oreilles, je fais concurrence à mon frère Lewis.

Elsa a été chez le docteur ce matin pour ses vaccins et pour faire enregistrer sa puce française en Belgique. Elle a été très sage, mais elle est très "cabot", quand la vétérinaire lui a tondu la patte pour une prise de sang (pour vérifier si elle est stérilisée) elle a pleuré comme si on la battait ;-) Mais au moins avec elle, pas de muselière et elle a gentiment salué un autre chien dans le couloir.

Matter of ears, I compete with my brother Lewis

Elsa went to the doctor this morning for her vaccinations and to register her French chip in Belgium. She was very nice, but she has a very "show off" behaviour, when the vet sheared her paw for a blood test (to check if she is neutered) she cried as if she was beaten ;-) But at least with her, no muzzle, and she friendly greeted another dog in the hall.

ORWO NP22 + distagon 50CF by NATHAN

52 8

Un ciel d'apocalypse mais finalement la montagne accoucha d'une souris: il est tombé 3 gouttes .. et puis rien:o)

Hasselblad 500C/M + dos A16 + Distagon 50mm CF + filtre orange zeiss + dégradé cokin.

NP22 périmée de 1992 traitement et exposition tenant compte de la péremption et du filtrage sur la base de kodak HC-110

Règle du F16 extrapolée : 2 yeux suffisent !!

***Les bons produits perdurent ... Un vrai bonheur de travailler des films qui ne curlent pas, qui ne tuilent pas, et dans lesquels il y a la bonne dose d'argent :o))

100 fois une ORWO périmée de 30 ans plutôt qu'une abominable fomapan fraîche !!

REMARQUES-(personnelles)

**** Pas de prétention artistique pour un talent que je n'ai pas. Juste le plaisir de partager des textures et des rendus, des expériences bonnes ou mauvaises ...

Il est toujours possible de me contacter par flickr mail ....

****Je préfère de loin la NP20 avec une très belle gamme de gris, et beaucoup moins de grain ... Après ce film est périmé depuis 1992 !! Excusez du peu :o))

****non pas qu'il soit "mauvais" mais je préfère de loin mon 50mm C version "tromblon" que ce plus moderne CF.

Ces remarques sont purement subjectives ....

****On peut polémiquer sur l'intérêt de réduire le format, sur l'intérêt du blad en 4,5x6 .... je ne me pose pas la question ... je possède 2 dos A16 et je les utilise en alternance avec les A12 et les A24 ....

Cadrer, développer en rectangle présente l'avantage du tirage couleur standart ... même si je n'en fais pratiquement pas LOL :o))

Je m'en donne à coeur joie puisqu'il est très facile d'aligner quelques photos faites avec un distagon selon les dires d'un abruti de forum qui lui n'a jamais approché un seul distagon, ni de près, ni de loin ... Je suis complètement mort de rire et je me dilate la rate merci encore à toi "prout" de forum dit "argentique" à la "concon" ...

Une très grosse purge va être nécessaire si ce genre d'endroit ne veut pas disparaître ... -(on a les noms !!)

A bientôt sur flickr, pour partager apprendre transmettre :o))

Paradigma: now and then. #origami #kusudama by Ekaterina Lukasheva

32 3

I've always been asked what is my most complicated model. That's the incorrect question. Complex in what? In folding? If your model is complex in folding, then you probably did a bad origami model. Complex in consumed time? Well, again it might be better to design easier thing that would look the same. Complex to design? I've seen people spending hours to design something that came out over-complicated and time-consuming. At the same time some easy models are awesome...

I would change this question to the one "what model are you proud of?". It is valid question. It is not complex in folding (may be a bit complex in assembly if you do not crease well, but, well, crease well!), not to much time consuming and did not take me long to design it. But I am proud of this model ;)

The cat is thinking about philosophy, for sure!

I re-folded this model specially for the exhibition in Chi Mei museum. It is on display there right now.

Where do I go? by Antoine Camelin

12 1

I'm still asking all these questions, it's been a long time now, and it's getting longer day after day, but I just can't accept what I did and even less how I did it.

Actually I really feel like I knocked myself up, everyday looks the same, each time I think I feel better, I finally feel worse, I can't go on and I still don't understand what's keeping me here.

Sometimes I just wanna run to her and explain myself to her, like, real explanations, not the shitty ones I said to her just to make her hate me and leave me alone.

But life isn't like this, and I'll probably never hear her voice again, and I miss it, how I miss it...

This place was shot in Luzern, made me think of Annecy in France, regarding the both sides of this lovely city, with ancient and new. I'll sure get back to there one day or another.

Have a nice day folks!

Lady Summer. by Esther Spektor

49 132

"I question not if thrushes sing,

If roses load the air;

Beyond my heart I need not reach

When all is summer there."

- John Vance Cheney

I've decided to make series of compositions with masks dedicated to four seasons - Winter, Spring, Summer and Autumn. You can see two of them -- "Lady Winter" ( that was done in December 2012), and "Lady Spring" (that was done in May, 2013) posted below. And, "Lady Autumn" is on her way...!

Thanks a lot for visits and comments, my friends...!

Lonely Old Night by Mark Tisdale

1 8

Even though there are streaks of light flying by and the city lights, there's something to me about this that speaks of solitude.

The town I grew up in is an odd little place, a mixture of moving forward and stagnation. I'm sure lots of little towns are like this, unsure whether they'll wither or thrive. As with people, there's beauty and ugliness to find. I tend to concentrate on the former. While I was taking this shot, I heard a voice from across the street, "Are you taking pictures of that?" I yelled back in the affirmative. A couple of similar questions. The last one she replied, "you know, it is pretty at night." There was a sound of incredulity. As if she'd never noticed before. A second later, her friends stepped out of a nearby shop and I heard her telling them about me taking pictures of the depot and how pretty it was. There was an odd feeling of accomplishment regardless of whether the photo is worth anything to anyone other than me.

India ▪ that ís Bharat ✧ (in proviso) by The Magic Box Photographie

72 17

under the skies that transcend billions of universes,

the outsized elephant-room of questions & secrets;

deepak ` the lightwriter's canvas broach in open.

we read our dread, Who if I cried out would hear me?

mind the stillness-mat viz; feelings get encroached; at

first, you praise their dress, then you get ash-dressed.

'ours' keeps breaking - ourselves, within our perimeter.

bully / pulpit alters us; diminishes sickle consciousness.

betwixt the micro spaces of conversation / correctness,

a certain static silence had enshrined in - just all over.

harbinger of tenuous assumptions kept on ossifying

into the experiments with musts, doubts, turncoats.

approvers bare intimacy that bears inching eyes;

and when one is completely inside one's perfidy,

a cover-up mindset suborns a hushed horizon —

pretends - the decisions had been difficult. 'yes'

— deserts us in a forgetting curve that reminds us,

of sti-ff-ness between us, culturing the same sky.

take over air consternates us-sets dreams on fire.

formless hubris viz debris, give themselves to gust

to be e'er scattered betwixt this/that; bedraggled.

zeroing in, insecurity at the heart of human constructs

the displaced shoes let you see, the surface of yore.

a long haul to dig and find, the great heart of our past.

no spin here, to foresee, real ground under our feet.

unchopping a tree, perched on wasteland, silences..

a thousand mile stare, ensouls thousand silhouettes:

anagram—breathy.ed each other to the bridging truth;

and learnedness, endlessly multiplied with curtain call.

where e g /oquence isolates honest assessment, not

being one of their chiliad/st.ic quarters isn't isolation.

not a diminishment, if being exercised more fully -

- truth's episodic memory is tender and unwavering;

ongoing procedure of days - = - simply transformative,

to rain align, all the absorbed moments of illumination.

bathed in light, friendships bear holistic temperament

alert, alert, alter! “after the game is before the game”.

tales shine in via our window of thousand caresses,

where you are sewing a blouse that feeds the spine.

tender paws & sky-ball inside, dashing out of a conch;

over tears-coasts, the white expanse, so kind & clear.

coconut chirping an intrinsic and glorious awakening.

rose dew here, and trouble talk lies beyond the map.

the truth is made real through servitude in affection.

psithurism of intimate revelations recalls clutched keys;

the key did turn. everywhere you turn is full of wonder.

awed to see - the shift inside, shifts deep garden state!

how did a blackbird of the milky way land up here,

that joy glistens in the kaleidoscopic, tent•i•er eyes.

how else to truly trace this landscape of provenance,

a cat following a radiant butterfly to the ringing bells.

[The Survivors RPG] Mission 3 - Return to Coruscant (Phase 3) | "The Rescue" by Brick Historian

59 10

Location: Coruscant, Underworld

///Log Entry\\\

This has not been a good week. First, I lost my speeder. Then, I got stabbed in the arm by a lightsaber. I'm convinced Coruscant is cursed. At least Sev and I managed to escape from the Sith assassin. That's a positive, right? Though if Cray and Jehk hadn't shown up to check on our progress, we'd have been goners. I'm beginning to agree with Sev that we need to get off this planet.

But before I left, I wanted to pay that weapons dealer in the underworld one last visit. Zach had given us instructions to "clean out" the Coruscant underworld, so what better place to start than with that speeder-stealing nerf herder? Unfortunately, he wasn't at his shop when Sev and I came looking for him. As we left, I overheard his protocol droid mention that he was meeting some clients near the sewers to hand-off some weapons. So, we headed to the sewers. I made sure to bring along a pair of stuncuffs so that we could detain him and hand him over to the New Republic.

At the sewers, I was overjoyed to see the Golden Nexu safe and sound. However, it was clear that rescuing her might be difficult. As it turned out, the weapons dealer's clients were a Bestoonian warrior and the Sith assassin.

"Give me the axe," Sev said. "I'll create a diversion."

"Not with my beskar axe you won't."

Sev grinned. "Trust me."

I gave Sev the axe, and he handed me his blaster since I had lost mine while fighting the Sith assassin. I snuck closer to the weapons dealer and his clients until I was close enough to overhear their conversation.

"Here are the two crates of blasters you requested, Ochi" said the weapons dealer. "I also took the liberty of bringing along a camtono of thermal detonators. Perhaps we could make a deal, hm?

"Where is the dagger?" snapped Ochi.

The weapons dealer laughed. "That dusty old relic? Yes, yes, I brought it."

The Bestoonian fidgeted impatiently. "That dagger is very important to my employer. I must have it."

"Any item can be acquired at the right price," said the weapons dealer with a smile.

Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Sev creeping along the edge of the sewer and onto a bridge leading across the sewage. I think I understood what he was doing. By splitting up, we could attack the group from two sides. This was a good plan.

"Mara!" Sev shouted suddenly. "You don't have to serve the Sith."

Nope, this was a horrible plan.

The weapons dealer and Ochi spun around. The Sith assassin ignited her lightsaber and sprinted towards Sev. I started blasting at the weapons dealer and Ochi while Sev and the assassin clashed blades on the bridge. With one smooth movement, the Bestoonian ripped the dagger from the weapons dealer's hands. The weapons dealer clutched at the blade, but Ochi struck him in the chest with the dagger. Grabbing the whimpering man by the collar, Ochi snarled, "No one negotiates with the Sith. We take what is ours." A powerful shove sent the weapons dealer sprawling into the sewer, and with a desperate cry, he sank beneath the foul water. Can't say that I was sorry to see him go.

By this time, I had reached the Golden Nexu, and I jumped in the cockpit. It felt good to be reunited with my ride. I powered up the blaster cannons and directed a volley of blaster fire at the Bestoonian. Ochi lept out of the way, and realizing that he was now outgunned, he darted away into the shadows. So much for loyalty.

I swung the Golden Nexu around to face Sev and Mara, who were still battling on the bridge.

"I know you're conflicted," Sev told the assassin as he dodged the crackling red blades of her lightsaber. "You always have been. They said it's what made you weak, but it's what makes you strong."

Dank ferrik, I thought. Did he prepare a speech beforehand? Does he have notes?

"You're a failed experiment," the assassin snarled. "You're nothing."

Fire burned in Sev's eyes. "I am what I choose to be."

He swung the beskar axe in a powerful arc that sent Mara stumbling backward. Seeing me in the Golden Nexu, Sev jumped out of my line of fire, and I locked my blaster cannons onto the assassin.

"Put your lightsaber down, or I'll blast you into the next galaxy," I shouted.

It only took a moment for the Sith assassin to see that she was trapped, and she cautiously threw her lightsaber onto the metal platform. I tossed my pair of stuncuffs to Sev, who quickly placed the cuffs on Mara's wrists.

"I warn you," Mara said. "The Sith will come for me."

"If they're anything like Ochi, we won't be seeing them soon," Sev said.

The Sith assassin frowned. "What do you plan to do with me?"

"For starters, I can think of a certain Jedi who would like to ask you a few questions," I said. "Ever heard of Luke Skywalker?"
