Taken at South by Southwest, Austin Texas. In the panel Immersive Content: The Future of Storytelling.
"What's the Future of Immersive content?
We believe that VR is the future of the storytelling and the greatest way to create empathy with the audience.
Ricardo Laganaro, film director at O2 Filmes, the biggest production company in Brazil owned by Fernando Meirelles, will invite Gabo Arora, American filmmaker and UN Senior Advisor, Director of Clouds Over Sidra, UN’s first foray into virtual reality filmmaking for a discussion about the future of immersive content for films.
Laganaro just delivered a fulldome projection for Museu do Amanhã, one of the great new museums in Rio, and also directed the most viewed 360 video inside Facebook in the world for a popular singer from Brazil."

Modern Dance Brochure design template. by Jenna Ebanks.Showcased on Inkd.com.
A dance studio could utilize this brochure to display class schedules and information about instructors. The dark palette in contrast with the white background of the brochure interior conveys a sense of modernism, which is appropriate for a dance studio. This is further illustrated by the movement of the images and flourishes.
Last week, I found the hair nets of Hare made by my mother are oversized... so she took them back and redid them. If she can finish 7 pairs in this week, I'm going to ship the first batch of Hare at this weekend. Then I'm going to finish the rest of 6 Hares. It's lucky that all hands and bodies brushing were done in the frist batch, so there will be less work. Then, I'm going to prepare and send the first batch of Hatter, including single Hatter orders and those ordered with Hare. If you ordered Alice too, I'm afraid that you have wait for the last batch. Sorry…>x< After that ,I will prepare the rest of Hatters, then Alices, and send all of the orders to finish the Chapter 4.:p
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway, also known as the "Toy Train", is a 2 ft (610 mm) narrow gauge railway that runs between New Jalpaiguri and Darjeeling in the Indian state of West Bengal, India. Built between 1879 and 1881, the railway is about 78 kilometres) long. Its elevation level varies from about 100 metres at New Jalpaiguri to about 2,200 metres at Darjeeling. Four modern diesel locomotives handle most of the scheduled services; however the daily Kurseong-Darjeeling return service and the daily tourist trains from Darjeeling to Ghum (India's highest railway station) are handled by the vintage British-built B Class steam locomotives. The railway, along with the Nilgiri Mountain Railway and the Kalka-Shimla Railway, is listed as the Mountain Railways of India World Heritage Site. The headquarters of the railway is in the town of Kurseong. Operations between Siliguri and Kurseong have been temporarily suspended since 2010 following a Landslide at Tindharia.
HISTORY
A broad gauge railway connected Calcutta (now Kolkata) and Siliguri in 1878. Siliguri, at the base of the Himalayas, was connected to Darjeeling by a cart road (the present day Hill Cart Road) on which "Tonga services" (carriage services) were available. Franklin Prestage, an agent of Eastern Bengal Railway Company approached the government with a proposal of laying a steam tramway from Siliguri to Darjeeling. The proposal was accepted in 1879 following the positive report of a committee formed by Sir Ashley Eden, the Lieutenant Governor of Bengal. Construction started the same year.
Gillanders Arbuthnot & Co. constructed the railway. The stretch from Siliguri to Kurseong was opened on 23 August 1880, while the official opening of the line up to Darjeeling was on 4 July 1881. Several engineering adjustments were made later in order to ease the gradient of the rails. Despite natural calamities, such as an earthquake in 1897 and a major cyclone in 1899, the DHR continued to improve with new extension lines being built in response to growing passenger and freight traffic. However, the DHR started to face competition from bus services that started operating over the Hill Cart Road, offering a shorter journey time. During World War II, the DHR played a vital role transporting military personnel and supplies to the numerous camps around Ghum and Darjeeling.
After the independence of India, the DHR was absorbed into Indian Railways and became a part of the Northeast Frontier Railway zone in 1958. In 1962, the line was realigned at Siliguri and extended by nearly 6 km to New Jalpaiguri (NJP) to meet the new broad gauge line there. DHR remained closed for 18 months during the hostile period of Gorkhaland Movement in 1988-89.
The line closed in 2011 due to a 6.8 Magnitude earthquake. The line is currently loss-making and in 2015, Rajah Banerjee, a local tea estate owner, has called for privatisation to encourage investment, which was fiercely resisted by unions.
WORLD HERITAGE SITE
DHR was declared a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1999, only the second railway to have this honour bestowed upon it, the first one being Semmering Railway of Austria in 1998. To be nominated as World Heritage site on the World Heritage List, the particular site or property needs to fulfill a certain set of criteria, which are expressed in the UNESCO World Heritage Convention and its corresponding Operational Guidelines. The site must be of outstanding universal value and meet at least one out of ten selection criteria. The protection, management, authenticity and integrity of properties are also important considerations.
CRITERIA FOR SELECTION
The DHR is justified by the following criteria:
Criterion ii The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway is an outstanding example of the influence of an innovative transportation system on the social and economic development of a multi-cultural region, which was to serve as a model for similar developments in many parts of the world.
Criterion iv The development of railways in the 19th century had a profound influence on social and economic developments in many parts of the world. This process is illustrated in an exceptional and seminal fashion by the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.
AUTHENTICITY AND INTEGITY
Since 1881, the original route has been retained in a remarkable condition. Only minimal interventions of an evolutionary nature, such as the reduction of loops, have been carried out. Most of the original steam locomotives are still in use. Like Tea and the Ghurka culture, the DHR has become not only an essential feature of the landscape but also an enduring part of the identity of Darjeeling.
MANAGEMENT AND LEGAL STATUS
The DHR and all its movable and immovable assets, including the authentic railway stations, the line, and the track vehicles, belong to the Government of India entrusted to the Ministry of Railways. The Northeast Frontier Railway documented all the elements of the DHR in a comprehensive register. Apart from that, it handles the day-to-day maintenance and management. But moreover, several programs, divisions and departments of the Indian Railways are responsible for operating, maintaining and repairing the DHR. This includes technical as well as non-technical work. In principle, the only two legal protection mechanisms that apply to the conservation of the DHR are the provisions of the 1989 Railway Act and that it is a public property which is state-owned and therefore protected
THE ROUTE
The railway line basically follows the Hill Cart Road which is partially the same as National Highway 55. Usually, the track is simply on the road side. In case of landslides both track and road might be affected. As long parts of the road are flanked with buildings, the railway line often rather resembles urban tramway tracks than an overland line.
To warn residents and car drivers about the approaching train, engines are equipped with very loud horns that even drown horns of Indian trucks and buses. Trains honk almost without pause.
LOOPS AND Z-REVERSE
One of the main difficulties faced by the DHR was the steepness of the climb. Features called loops and Z-Reverses were designed as an integral part of the system at different points along the route to achieve a comfortable gradient for the stretches in between them. When the train moves forwards, reverses and then moves forward again, climbing a slope each time while doing so, it gains height along the side of the hill.
LOCOMOTIVES
CURRENT
STEAM
All the steam locomotives currently in use on the railway are of the "B" Class, a design built by Sharp, Stewart and Company and later the North British Locomotive Company, between 1889 and 1925. A total of 34 were built, but by 2005 only 12 remained on the railway and in use (or under repair).
In 2002, No. 787 was rebuilt with oil firing. This was originally installed to work on the same principle as that used on Nilgiri Mountain Railway No.37395. A diesel-powered generator was fitted to operate the oil burner and an electrically-driven feed pump, and a diesel-powered compressor was fitted to power the braking system. Additionally, the locomotive was fitted with a feedwater heater. The overall result was a dramatic change in the appearance of the locomotive. However, the trials of the locomotive were disappointing and it never entered regular service. In early 2011, it was in Tindharia Works awaiting reconversion to coal-firing.
In March 2001, No.794 was transferred to the Matheran Hill Railway to allow a "Joy Train" (steam-hauled tourist train) to be operated on that railway. It did not, however, enter service there until May 2002.
DIESEL
Four diesel locomotives are in use: Nos. 601-2, 604 and 605 of the NDM6 class transferred from the Matheran Hill Railway.
Past
In 1910 the railway purchased the third Garratt locomotive built, a D Class 0-4-0+0-4-0.
Only one DHR steam locomotive has been taken out of India, No.778 (originally No.19). After many years out of use at the Hesston Steam Railway, it was sold to an enthusiast in the UK and restored to working order. It is now based on a private railway (The Beeches Light Railway) in Oxfordshire but has run on the Ffestiniog Railway, the Launceston Steam Railway and the Leighton Buzzard Light Railway.
IN POPULAR CULTURE
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway has long been viewed with affection and enthusiasm by travellers to the region and the Earl of Ronaldshay gave the following description of a journey in the early 1920s:
"Siliguri is palpably a place of meeting... The discovery that here the metre gauge system ends and the two foot gauge of the Darjeeling-Himalayan railway begins, confirms what all these things hint at... One steps into a railway carriage which might easily be mistaken for a toy, and the whimsical idea seizes hold of one that one has accidentally stumbled into Lilliput. With a noisy fuss out of all proportion to its size the engine gives a jerk - and starts... No special mechanical device such as a rack is employed - unless, indeed, one can so describe the squat and stolid hill-man who sits perched over the forward buffers of the engine and scatters sand on the rails when the wheels of the engine lose their grip of the metals and race, with the noise of a giant spring running down when the control has been removed. Sometimes we cross our own track after completing the circuit of a cone, at others we zigzag backwards and forwards; but always we climb at a steady gradient - so steady that if one embarks in a trolley at Ghum, the highest point on the line, the initial push supplies all the energy necessary to carry one to the bottom."
The trip up to Darjeeling on railway has changed little since that time, and continues to delight travellers and rail enthusiasts, so much so that it has its own preservation and support group, the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway Society.
Several films have portrayed the railway. Especially popular was the song Mere sapno ki rani from the film Aradhana where the protagonist Rajesh Khanna tries to woo heroine Sharmila Tagore who was riding in the train. Other notable films include Barfi!, Parineeta and Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman. The Darjeeling Limited, a film directed by Wes Anderson, features a trip by three brothers on a fictional long-distance train based loosely on the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.
TELEVISION
The BBC made a series of three documentaries dealing with Indian Hill Railways, shown in February 2010. The first film covers the Darjeeling-Himalayan Railway, the second the Nilgiri Mountain Railway and the third the Kalka-Shimla Railway. The films were directed by Tarun Bhartiya, Hugo Smith and Nick Mattingly and produced by Gerry Troyna. The series won the UK Royal Television Society Award in June 2010. Wes Anderson's film The Darjeeling Limited also showcases three brothers riding the Darjeeling Himalayan Railway.

St Mary’s Guildhall (previously known as John O'Gaunt's Stables) a Grade I Listed building and a scheduled ancient monument built sometime around 1150. On the High Street in Lincoln, Lincolnshire.
A former town house of King Henry II, it was possibly constructed for the crown-wearing ceremonies of Christmas 1157. It was used for royal wine storage after 1228 before being acquired by Great Guild of St Marys in 1251 and used as their headquarters. In the early 17th century it was remodelled as The Bluecoat School and later adapted for various industrial and commercial uses such as malting and an undertakers.
In 1938 it was acquired by the City of Lincoln Council, although it continued in commercial use as Lucas’s builders’ depot until 1981.These days it is the home of Lincoln Civic Trust and St Peter at Gowts Parish Hall. It was built near the junction of the Roman Fosse Way and Ermine Street and visible beneath a glass floor is a section of the Fosse Way - complete with wheel ruts.

The Lakeshore Limited storming the hill from the Cuyahoga Valley, many hours off schedule.===January 24, 2025.
With short notice, today provided a short and unexpected window of opportunity where the chance elements of weather, my work schedule, my parenting schedule, and aircraft availability all magically lined up.
At the last minute, I texted a friend, who had the day off who had expressed interest in flying with me. She's new to Oregon, and didn't know if she'd seen the Columbia Gorge before.
And what a treat. Large areas that still fall under the shadow of the cascades had plenty of snow left.
After a right downwind departure from KTTD, I flew eastward into the Gorge. With the help of air traffic controllers, I avoided no less than three helicopters and two fixed-wing aircraft also taking advantage of the temporary break in the weather.
Passing Vista House (aka Crown Point) where the turbulence is usually moderate to extreme, I found the winds calm. Where I'd normally climb to 3,000 ft to get into smoother air, it was just fine at 1,500 ft, which is far better for aerial photography.
Past Cascade Locks, over the town of Hood River and into the draw where the bulk of the town sits, then continuing east to the leeward side of the Cascades, the terrain goes from lush forest to desert as you approach the town of The Dalles.
I had planned to land at The Dalles (an uncontrollled airport) and grab some coffee, and I cut across a bend in the river to overfly the town as I cut the throttle and began a descent.
I self-announced "The Dalles traffic, Skyhawk Two Mike Romeo is 5 miles west, entering the 45 for a left downwind for runway three one. The Dalles."
No answer. Quiet day this far east.
Entering the pattern from 45 degrees into the downwind leg, now parallel to the runway off to my left, it looked like the runway was covered in ice. Hmm.
I keyed the mic, "The Dalles traffic, Skyhawk Two Mike Romeo on left downwind for runway three one. The Dalles." Nobody else on the radio.
I eyed the windsock. Nothing. Automated weather had broadcast winds at 4 knots, straight down the runway. Not remotely a concern, but I'm not liking what still looks like ice.
Abeam the end of approach end of runway 31, I drop down to 1500 RPM, roll back one full wheel of trim, and let my airspeed drop until I can put in 10 degrees of flaps, still eye-balling the runway, now behind my left shoulder.
I descend 200 ft, and make a 90 degree turn to my left, putting in 20 degrees or flaps, and again, self-announce "The Dalles, Two Mike Romeo on left base for three one."
Drop another 300 ft, make another 90 degree turn, and now 500 ft above the runway and nicely lined up, "The Dalles, Two Mike Romeo on final for three one...uhhh... this will be a low approach".
This means I'm not actually going to land. I can't tell if the runway is wet, or if it's a block of ice. I know the temperature is above freezing, but I don't really need that coffee.
I descend until I'm 50 ft above the runway, the fly down the centerline, close the carburetor heat, add power, and slowly raise my flaps until I'm past the runway and have plenty of speed, climbing up and away.
Aside from a few pockets of mild turbulence, we fly at a slow and leisurely 2000 ft all the way back until I'm 10 miles east of KTTD.
I contact air traffic control, and I'm advised to make a straight-in arrival and call them back when I'm 2 miles out.
No pattern this time. I pass Crown Point at 1000 ft, wave to the crowds of tourists that aren't there, and fly my approach down to a nice smooth landing just an hour before the overcast and visibility start to drop.
Not a bad day!
Tuesday, June 07. LUBLIN, Poland — LITPOLUKRBRIG begins its participation in ANAKONDA 16 Exercise oriented on training and coordination Crisis-response Operations in Nowa Dęba training ground, scheduled to take place between 6th and 17th of June.
The exercise opening ceremony was held by Brigadier General Adam Joks, the Multinational Brigade Commander today, on 6th of June, and involved participants from Poland, Lithuania, Ukraine, Hungary and the USA.
During welcoming speech Brigadier General Adam Joks expressed his belief in the significance of this event. According to the LITPOLUKRBRIG Commander’s words, ANAKONDA 16 Exercise creates a wide spectrum of opportunities to cooperate with military partners from participating nations. During next 10 days the soldiers will work, train and live together shoulder to shoulder to achieve all desired training objectives and develop military capabilities. Hence, participation in this operation will allow raising the level of training, establishing mutual trust and understanding between the involved armies.
For Lithuanian-Polish-Ukrainian Brigade this is the first significant training event since opening its Command on 26th of January this year. The unit deploys a command post which will issue orders to the subordinated and affiliated elements and run them during simulated operation.
“ANAKONDA 16 provides us, the LITPOLUKRBRIG Command and certain affiliated units, with a possibility to verify the capacities of interoperability within the Brigade, as well as cooperation with the potential and current partners of the unit. We are brothers in arms and we will show that during this training event. At the end of the day we will be more proficient, more interoperable and better prepared to meet the NATO standards and international cooperation military requirements,” Brigadier General Adam Joks commented.
In particular, a Ukrainian airborne platoon with 80th Airborne Brigade has been attached to a Polish battalion. It opens an opportunity to exercise interoperability on tactical level and explore successfulness of combined tactical units.
It shall be recalled that the ANAKONDA 16 exercise, taking place at the largest Polish military ranges all around the country, will involve 31 thousand soldiers, hailing from 23 countries.
At the end of the ceremony Brigadier General Adam Joks wished all participants the successful and safe training and good working atmosphere.

Литовсько-польсько-українська бригада розпочала польовий вишкіл за сценарієм операцій зі стабілізації в рамках навчання «Анаконда-2016», яке триватиме на полігоні Нова Деба у Польщі до 17 червня.
Церемонія відкриття навчання відбулася під керівництвом командира ЛИТПОЛУКРБРИГ бригадного генерала Адама Йокса.
Під час вступного слова бригадний генерал Адам Йокс наголосив на важливості участі багатонаціональних підрозділів в «Анаконді-2016». За його словами, це навчання відкриває широкі можливості для поглиблення співпраці між країнами-партнерами, дозволяє підвищити рівень підготовки та зміцнити взаєморозуміння між військовослужбовцями.
Заступник командира бригади полковник Володимир Юданов підкреслив, що для Литовсько-польсько-української бригади це перший значний захід бойової підготовки з моменту її відкриття 26 січня 2016 року. Орган військового управління розгортає операційний командний пункт, який керуватиме приданими підрозділами під час імітації операції зі стабілізації.
– «Анаконда-2016» дає управлінню бригади та підрозділам можливість підтвердити взаємосумісність, а також налагодити співпрацю з існуючими та потенційними партнерами, – додав бригадний генерал Адам Йокс.
Зокрема, український взвод 80-ї окремої десантно-штурмової бригади увійшов до складу польського батальйону. Під час виконання навчальних завдань буде перевірено застосування багатонаціональних підрозділів на тактичному рівні.
Варто нагадати, що навчання «Анаконда-2016» триває на найбільших полігонах ЗС Республіки Польща. У ньому бере участь понад 31000 військовослужбовців із 23 країн світу.

I had the pleasure to shoot a fantastic family this weekend. We had initially scheduled an outdoor session. Unfortunately, it was simply too cold to follow through with our original plan. Therefore, we shot indoors. The family was understanding about the change and we ended up getting some great shots.
This is one of those shots that's best viewed large with a black background.
strobist: 1 White Lightning x2400, camera left, diffused by a 48"x70" softbox. 1 White Lightning Ultrazap 1600, camera right, diffused by a socked Paul C. Buff 22" HOBD. We also had a White Lightning Ultra 600 camera left with a standard 7" reflector pointed at the ceiling--however, I'm unsure whether or not it was plugged in and firing at this particular point in the session. Strobes triggered via Cybersyncs. A CPL was on the lens. Setup shot here.

This will forever be my best accidental shoot. I was scheduled to shoot with another model but she cancelled shortly before the shoot. I thought I would have a free afternoon when boom - I get a message from Brittany wanting to shoot. She needed some time to do her hair and makeup and an hour later we were shooting on an absolutely great Fall day. Brittany claimed she had only done one other photo shoot (a school project where she was covered with balloons since she was the smallest person in class). To me Brittany is a natural in front of the camera and she kept making me laugh. Quite a beautiful young lady - I can't wait to shoot with her again!
I took these photos in October 2018 at the Boise Train Depot.

About Tabin Wildlife Reserve
Created in the year 1984, Tabin has been declared a Wildlife Reserve primarily on account of the large number of animals inhabiting its forests, some of which are highly endangered. The three largest mammals of Sabah, namely Borneo Pygmy Elephant, Sumatran Rhinoceros and Tembadau are all found within the reserve; nine species of primate are present, as well as three species of cats all of which are on the protected wildlife list. Of bird species, 42 families representing 220 species have been recorded. One of the highlights of Tabin being the active and mineral-rich mud volcanoes, attracting frequent visits by wildlife for their mineral intake and present an ideal platform for wildlife observation and bird-watching.
The Wildlife Department of Sabah is the custodian of the animals in the reserve while the Forestry Department of Sabah is responsible for the tress in Tabin. The reserve is covered mainly with lowland dipterocarp forest.
Since the availability of accommodation provided by Tabin Wildlife Resort in 2004, Tabin Wildlife Reserve has gained popularity to be one of the best places in Sabah to observe the rich bio-diversity of nature and to part-take in nature-base activities. Amongst the popular things-to-do in Tabin are jungle-trekking, night safari, night walk, wildlife-spotting, bird-watching and rainforest education.
Tabin Wildlife Reserve is located in the eastern part of Sabah, Malaysia, on the island of Borneo. The reserve comprises a rectangular area of approximately 122,539 hectare in the centre of the Dent Peninsula, north-east of Lahad Datu town, south of the lower reaches of the Segama River and north of the Silabukan Forest Reserve.
Construction work continues in the Cannon House Office Building's north wing.
Phase 2 of the Cannon Renewal Project began in January 2019 and is scheduled to be complete in November 2020. The entire north side of the building, from the basement to the fifth floor, is closed. Work includes demolishing and rebuilding the fifth floor, conserving the exterior stonework and rehabilitating the individual office suites.
