Lets face it. Jujja isn't a kid any more. He does spend quite a lot of time at the cafe. And he does enjoy his food. And beer. And whiskey. Anyway, this is his bicycle. I wonder if it's time to grease the chain perhaps?
'Secure' is an inspiration for me to head start another serious collection of abstract fine art photography.
After the first couple days in Washington DC, this shouldn't have been all that surprising with all the security they have. You have go through metal detectors every place in DC. This was a little strange to me. I don'thave a cell phone, so if I need to sit on the throne I'm out of luck because you have to scan a QR code. But thank heavens , no app is required. LOL
Over the span of summer, I've been wanting to secure a space for the Nikon in my kit by replacing my 50 1.8G for a "super 50mm" lens. I've been comparing the 58, the sony A7+ZA55 combo and the Sigma 50ART as candidates. Although the 50ART and the ZA55 rate many times higher than the 58 almost everything, I still went for the 58 for the way it renders life and from images I've shot with it (these are the first ones), it's plenty sharp for me. There are clearly no such lenses in the dSLR world that has autofocus and the rendering quality of the ZM C Sonnar 50mm f/1.5 (despite its field curvature problem) aside from the 58.
The way it brings the subject into the frame and the way it makes the background go wild in such interesting yet smooth yet undistracting way (so many ways) is perhaps the one reason why this lens exist and for those who truly understand its purpose can create images of the unique (all of this with the usual 2000$ Nikon lens goodies of Nanocoating and optical magical colors etc...)
Now to use this lens, you absolutely need an AF system that needs to keep up with it. Since the lens has the strong design intentions of Haruo Sato (well respected lens designer at Nikon), most of the emphasis has been put on balancing correction (aberations, glow) with rendering (colors, bokeh, etc) and has resulted in a very short depth of field focus zone that needs to be nailed wide open. I was fortunate to have the D750 to calibrate the lens with (it took a week or two to get it perfectly right to an absurd number).
If you are new to 50mm lens, by all means go for the 50 1.8g or go for anything else than this pricey one. You buy the 58 because you have tried all and you require the lens to accomplish something specific in which not many lens company has had the guts to make in this day and age of high technology, in this case bokeh rendering.

Secured to a new boat rack built on the inside of my old truck bed, our wooden Pocock double sculling boat is ready to be moved to a warmer home for the winter. It was a beautiful sunny day today, but by the time we stored this boat and another, the temperature was down to 32 degrees.

I recently visited India. My lasting impression from the tour is aptly captured in this photo. Almost all the places i visited (Delhi, Agra, Jaipur) were under severe security obviously a fallout of the almost two decade long terrorism in our country. However, what made me really glad is the fact that inspite of repeated attacks and threats people refuse to bow down. As seen, India Gate and all other tourist places are choc-a-bloc with tourist and people of all shades. Long live the Indian spirit!!

Plagued by yarn thieves? One solution, used at Island Supply in Adventureland, is to store your supply out of reach of the nogoodnicks. Of course, that makes it a bit more difficult for you to retrieve a fresh spool. Just make sure that the ladder is locked up between trips to the roof.

After Finn and his team departed from The Eclipse, the transports landed in an abandoned landing pad. It was said that it had been an old Republic base, an Imperial Research base and more recently, an unknown operations hub. Finn supposed that was where the yellow stripes came from...
When they first landed, everything was quiet. Too quiet.
Finn Crux: "What is this place?" he spoke to the hologram of Vice Admiral Crait.
Vice Admiral Crait: "This is where it will begin. Scout the surface of this area, and if you deem it to be safe, we will send more transports down with supplies and find a space to dock the cruiser. If it isn't safe, feel free to exterminate any hazards along the way. We will then arrange support. If you require immediate assistance, just tap the comms link." The hologram blinked out.

There are 3 sets of 10 billets. So we put 3 chains on the first set. 2 chains on the second set. And 3 chains on the last set. Each chain is rated for 10,000 pounds. We walked on top of the billets to secure the chains with ratchets. The billets were too hot to kneel on.

Securing today’s connected enterprise is a race across many different terrains where we are often unsure or unaware of what lies ahead and who or where our opponents really are.As boundaries continue to erode between the physical and cyber worlds, between high and low-tech risks, between the human workforce and artificial intelligence, and as the valuation of digital compared to physical assets undergoes radical shifts, ASIS Europe 2018 tackles the most challenging issues.Cyber-physical threats in hyper-complex, connected environments are the core themes of the event.ASIS, as a global community of security practitioners tasked with the protection of assets – people, property, and information – is uniquely positioned to deal with enterprise-wide risks.

August Reiss was born at Kocherstetten, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, on 27 December 1877. At 14 he moved to England and began working at his brother's pork butcher's shop in Crewe. In 1907 he married Rose Heinold, and in 1908 secured his own premises at 59 Gerard Street, Ashton-in-Makerfield. Council minutes confirm the award of a “certificate … for the use and occupation of a slaughterhouse” at that address on 19 November. Subsequent applications for renewal of the certificate clarify that the slaughterhouse was located at the back of the property. The couple settled in above the shop, and became popular with their neighbours and fellow-worshippers at St Thomas' Church. The business thrived.
By 1914 Britain had about 50,000 German-born residents. Many, like the Reiss family, had migrated for economic reasons in the 19th century, establishing communities in Liverpool, Manchester and elsewhere. The internment of those deemed “alien enemies” began immediately following the outbreak of war. Among the first to be detained, August Reiss was taken to a disused factory in Lancaster and kept there for five months. His release in February 1915 resulted mainly from overcrowding at the internment camps and the adoption of an intelligence-led approach to detention. As explained to Parliament, the practice now was for enquiries to be “made by the Police, and if the Police report does not show that the individual is either dangerous or destitute, the question of his release is considered by the Home Office and ... War Office in conjunction”.
When it emerged that several prominent Ashtonians -including the town clerk and vicar- had signed a petition calling for August's release, there was outrage in the town. On 8 February two meetings were held. The first, a special meeting of the Council, considered a resolution of Councillor E Walkden “That this Council places on record its strong disapproval of the action of its Clerk, Mr Albert Sykes, in signing a testimonial to the Home Office praying for the release from internment of an alien enemy who resided in this township.” Mr Sykes said he had signed in a private capacity and because he considered it the right thing to do as a Christian. Councillor Walkden thought this explanation “more an insult than anything else” but, having made his own position clear, agreed to withdraw. A “Citizens' Meeting” then followed in the Lecture Hall at Ashton Library. August Reiss' doctor said he had signed the original petition because “Reiss was suffering from a weak heart, and he (Dr Jones) thought that if he was interned it would probably injure him for the remainder of his life”. Another speaker commented -incautiously, perhaps, given the mood of the meeting- that the King himself was of foreign extraction. He, too, appealed for “Christian tolerance”. However, these voices were drowned out by others calling for August Reiss' re-internment. After 45 minutes of “vigorous speeches on both sides”, the following resolution was “carried by a large majority”:
“We, the citizens of Ashton-in-Makerfield, enter our strong protest against the action of the few townspeople who signed a memorial which was despatched to the Home Secretary praying for the release of an alien enemy, August Reiss, and we petition the Home Secretary to reconsider his decision and re-intern the said August Reiss”.
Despite extensive searching I have been unable to discover August Reiss' ultimate fate. What IS clear is that, already by September 1915, a “Mr Francis Webster (pork butcher)” was in occupation at 59 Gerard St and was applying in his own right for a slaughterhouse licence. He was still there when the Seed's Wigan & District Directory for 1925/6 was compiled.
