I also put the items I use less often further back, and got rid of a lot of items I have not used in ages. I cycled some panties I had not worn in a while back into the more commonly used section to spice things up, but got rid of any that were uncomfortable and meant I tended not to wear them. My best friend will be happy to note I culled a bunch of my granny bras. Of course I am mostly wearing nursing bras now anyway.
Absolutely love all the packaging. Laser-cut particle board, blue rubber band, in a cloth bag, in a natural mailer. The rubber band and part of the board pull out to become a money clip. Bravo, @simplify!
When a car focuses on performance instead of aesthetics, you get a very subtle package that is very appeasing.

Just a little fun with spheres. The sphere above each one has a two stud difference between the one below it.
For last weeks photo assignment... Simplify.
The assignment was to take a picture with only three things or three colors.
Servicing and refueling at the Yermo yard. Yermo Calif.
During the late 1930s, the Union Pacific often used helpers to move trains from Ogden to Wahsatch. The UP wanted to simplify this move so they asked their "Department of Research and Mechanical Standards" (DoRMS) to design a locomotive that could pull a 3600 ton train unassisted over the 1.14% grade of the Wahsatch.
The designers determined that to pull a 3600 ton train, a tractive effort of 135,000 lbs would be needed. Assuming a factor of adhesion of 4.0, the weight on drivers would have to be 4.0 * 135,000 = 540,000 lbs. Given an axle loading of 67,500 lbs each, this would require 8 drivers or an x-8-8-x wheel arrangement. The designers agreed upon the 4-8-8-4 design. Next, the horsepower and cylinder sizes were computed based on 300 psi boiler pressure. Although they weren't planning to pull these freight trains at 80 MPH, the DoRMS designed them for 80 MPH in order to have a sufficient factor of safety built into the design. What resulted is considered by many to be the most successful articulated steam locomotive ever built. 4000 was delivered to Omaha at 6PM, September 5, 1941.
The 25 Big Boys were built in two groups. The first group, called "class 1", were built starting in 1941. They were numbered 4000-4019. The second group, "class 2", were built in 1944. They were numbered 4020-4024. The last revenue freight pulled by a Big Boy was in July of 1959. Most were retired in 1961. The last one was retired in July of 1962. As late as September, 1962, there were still four operational Big Boys at Green River, WY.
The total mileage of each of the Big Boys from class 1 were roughly the same -- 1,000,000 miles. 4016 had the lowest mileage -- 1,016,124. 4006 had the highest mileage -- 1,064,625. Of the second group, 4024 had the highest mileage -- 811,956.

I always want to simplify. Get rid of stuff. Less clutter in our lives. Keep it simple. Focus on what is important.

Just tired for editing and due to disappointed on Canon because this morning I just knew Nikon increase lens price last 2 months and I want to buy 24-70L but atfer I call to the store take an order he told me the lens was increase by USD 200..... because after I walk out from the Canon Singapore fax a notice to them. No more old stock from him... I just saw in their lens display cabinet... and he told me yesterday just sold 2 lenses. I tell myself don't buy Canon lens anymore for this coming 2 years. 5D MK II also increase another USD 100. What I have to do now? Go for film!!!

I remember a time when I shot bright, pastel coloured images. Super narrow depth of field and with long lenses. Style evolves as we discover more about ourselves through our work. The understanding that how we photograph is more about use than our actual subject comes and everything changes.
I'm happier now with one camera a 35mm lens and my subject. The simpler the shoot the more at home I feel. For me simplification is amplification.
Shot with the most basic of camera.

One of the earliest customers for the Boeing 787; China Southern was the first out of the 3 major Chinese carriers to operate the type after taking delivery for the wide-body aircraft from mid-2013 being the smaller Boeing 787-8 of which 10 were delivered up until mid-2014. The carrier have also taken on a much larger fleet of Boeing 787-9s with 18 in service with 2 more examples on-order.
More than 10 years since China Southern introduced their first Boeing 787-8, the carrier recently issued a tender placing all 10 Boeing 787-8s for sale, which also includes 2 spare engines (these being General Electric GEnx-1B70s). Separate from the tender, China Southern are also looking to sell their Boeing 777-300ER fleet.
The carrier is in the process of right-sizing and simplifying their long-haul fleet, especially in the wake of reduced international long-haul demand. China Southern has almost whittled down their Airbus A330-200 fleet, withdrawn the eldest Airbus A330-300s whilst the vast majority remain on medium-haul regional flights. The long-haul fleet look set to mainly utilise their Airbus A350-900s and Boeing 787-9s.
Currently, China Southern operates 28 Boeing 787s, which includes 10 Boeing 787-8s and 18 Boeing 787-9s. China Southern have 2 Boeing 787-9s on-order.
Two Zero Charlie Six is one of 18 Boeing 787-9s operated by China Southern, delivered new to the carrier on lease from CSA Leasing on 21st August 2019 and she is powered by 2 General Electric GEnx-1B74/75 engines.

Operations image of the week:
The flight dynamics experts working on the ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter mission meet regularly to assess progress of the spacecraft's almost-year-long aerobraking manoeuvres at Mars.
The TGO orbiter swung into an initial, highly elliptical orbit at Mars on 19 October last year.
Aerobraking - using drag from the faint wispy tendrils of the upper-most part of the martian atmosphere to slow and lower the spacecraft into its final science orbit - began on 15 March, and will take most of a year, following a cautious ‘slow-as-you-go’ strategy.
As with Goldilocks and the famous bears, staying too high won't drag on TGO sufficiently to reach its intended orbit anytime soon, while dipping too low into the atmosphere could slow it too much, with unwanted results.
Therefore, the flight dynamics team carefully assess the results of every aerobraking orbit, and make detailed predictions on the subsequent orbits based on realtime results. This means there is a lot of data to keep up with.
They have, of course, many sophisticated tools, applications and databases available to help determine orbits, visualise trajectories and calculate future spacecraft manoeuvres.
"But the white board in our briefing room is the best tool we've found for giving everyone an up-to-the-date, realtime view of aerobraking progress during our frequent review meetings," says ESA's Robert Guilanyà, seen above, the TGO flight dynamics team lead.
"A large group of people need to see and discuss the data collected from the atmospheric passages to plan subsequent aerobraking activities. Marking up the white board by hand is simple, easy and instantly viewable by all."
From 25 June to end-August, aerobraking is on pause due to Mars and Earth lining up on opposite sides of the Sun in a conjunction that greatly reduces the reliability and robustness of communication to and from the spacecraft.
Aerobraking will resume in August, and should continue until early 2018, when TGO will perform a series of final manoeuvres to transition to its approximately 400-km high, circular science orbit.

Photo was taken Dec 28th, 2011. This is Skaha Lake in British Columbia. Photo was taken with a Nikon D300 10-24mm lens 5 exposures. Processed in Photomatix Pro and then duplicate file processed in Topaz Simplify.
Kind of a Sketch painting, using the Topaz Simplify plug-in filter in PS. So many different adjustments, I must have spent an hour on this, and am not sure I even got what I wanted. But it is unique. And I love tie Fall Colors in the image. I took this, looking up Woodmere Knoll, which is right down the street from where I live and grew up. I like the wide angle lens used as well.
