OLYMPUS OM-SYSTEM S ZUIKO AUTO-ZOOM 1:4 f=75-150mm No.276091
In May 2024, I bought a set of 12 junk Olympus OM mount lenses for 3,500 yen. Of those, four lenses were not damaged or badly stained, so I disassembled and cleaned them and they became usable. I am using them with a digital camera via a mount adapter with a helicoid.
Secretary Landgraf and Public Health Director Dr. Karyl Rattay were joined by state Sen. Bruce Ennis and Reps. Ruth Briggs-King, Dave Wilson and Harvey Kenton in recognizing the 20th anniversary of Delaware’s Statewide Trauma System. “No matter where in Delaware someone suffers a traumatic injury, they enter into the same system of care,” Secretary Landgraf said. “We are only a handful of states to have an inclusive statewide trauma system.”
Dr. Rattay said the state’s trauma system is credited with saving 1,319 lives and caring for 101,000 seriously injured people since 2000, an almost 50 percent decrease in the mortality rate in that time. The Delaware mortality rate is now consistently lower than the national rate reported by the federal National Trauma Data Bank.
Fourteen individuals who have 20 years of continuous service to the trauma system were honored at the ceremony in the House chambers at Legislative Hall:
•Edward L. Alexander III, MD, FACS of Bayhealth Kent General Hospital
•Marilynn K. Bartley, MSN, RN of Christiana Care Health System

Sen. Ennis, who advocated for and helped to push through the enabling legislation, read a joint resolution recognizing the trauma system’s anniversary. Rep. Kenton in honoring Sen. Ennis’ role in creating the trauma system said, “We’ll never know, Senator, how many lives you saved.” Rep. Briggs-King in praising the statewide system of care said, “For a small state, you’ve made a huge statement.”
Trauma survivor Melanie Pertain shared how the system helped her and her family after they were involved in a serious motor vehicle crash on Concord Pike in 2013. “I received tremendous care in the ER and then the OR after we were transported to Christiana Hospital,” said Pertain, who spent two weeks in the surgical ICU after suffering a traumatic brain injury and other injuries in the accident. “My new mantra is ‘Be grateful, not hateful.’”

The solid-fueled Little Joe 2 was used to test the Apollo Launch Escape System and verify the performance of the command module parachutes. Powered by nine rocket motors with combined thrust of 860,000 pounds, Little Joe 2 boosted the "boilerplate" (test) spacecraft on a path that duplicated an Apollo-Saturn "in-flight emergency." During the in-flight "emergency," the escape system's rockets fired and pulled the Apollo Command Module containing the astronauts safely away from the booster. Five Little Joe 2 tests were conducted at White Sands Missile Range between August 1963 and January 1966.

A true 'James Bond' car, this Aston Martin DBS is one of 10 identical examples ordered by the production company for the motion picture Quantum of Solace (2008) starring Daniel Craig as secret agent 007. Aston Martin has enjoyed an immensely fruitful relationship with the James Bond franchise over the years, stretching all the away back to the famous 'Silver Birch' DB5 driven by Sean Connery in Goldfinger (1964) and most recently by Daniel Craig in No Time to Die (2021).
According to the Aston Martin Heritage Trust: "These cars were sequentially numbered E00038 to E00047 and were painted in a new colour, initially called 'Prototype - Bond 22', later named Quantum Silver. Some stunt cars were expected to be destroyed during the filming. The others that were only damaged were saved and are displayed at events. Some were undamaged 'hero' cars and might have been used in the film for interior or close-up shots or perhaps only for publicity.
"E00038 to E00041 were the special effects stunt cars. E00038 and E00041 were retained damaged and are often displayed with the bullet holes. E00039 and E00040 were scrapped.
"E00042 to E00047 were the hero cars although one of those appears also to have been scrapped (E00046), which leaves 5 hero cars that survived [...] This car, E00042 is one of the six hero cars and one of five that have survived intact."
The 10 Aston Martins were finished in a paint colour initially referred to as 'Prototype – Bond 22', later Quantum Silver. As they were portraying an Italian car in the movie, all were ordered in left-hand drive configuration with a six-speed manual transmission. Other specification highlights include the following: Obsidian Black semi-aniline leather with silver stitching; High specification alarm; Piano Black facia; Black brake calipers; Sports seats; Tracking device; Smoker's kit; Powerfold mirrors; Alcantara seat panels; Warm Charcoal seatbelts; First Aid kit; Garage door opener; Auto-dim mirror.
Built in February 2008 as a 2009 model, this DBS #E00042 was first registered in the UK as 'KX57 CMU' before being registered in Switzerland in 2009, where it has remained ever since. The current odometer reading is less than 37,800 kilometres. The accompanying documentation includes its current original Swiss carte grise; the stamped service book, regularly updated, mostly by Aston Martin in Saint-Gallen.; an Aston Martin Heritage Trust Vehicle Heritage Certificate with a Quantum of Solace appendix information; photocopy of the European conformity certificate; Aston Martin communication system's data; The car also comes with its exquisite glass key, embodying luxury, that elegantly starts the Aston Martin with a simple insertion, along with a spare key, an Aston Martin umbrella, and a battery trickle charger.

Wow, talk about a stormy night! Very strong & gusty southerly winds & rain were observed as this strongly awaited atmospheric river/storm system’s main cold front made ‘landfall’ in the Bay Area. This was indeed the strongest storm so far this season for the region. Conditions outside looked like a tropical storm! Certainly, this was a stormy night for the region. The Sierras were also looking at feet of snowfall before all this is said & done. This evening was just the 1st part of the storm. More heavy rain & wind was in store for the state over the next day or two as this atmospheric river was forecast to inch back north towards the South Bay the very next day... Things would finally die down by Friday. Stay safe out there, everyone! (Video taken Tuesday nearing midnight, January 26, 2021)
*Weather forecast/update: A strong Pacific storm, or atmospheric river, was expected to bring periods of moderate to heavy rain to the region. This system was forecast to arrive by Tuesday (Jan 26) & was to bring periods of heavy rain & high winds. This will likely result in an increased risk of mudslides over steep terrain, debris flow over wildfire burned areas, as well as localized ponding of water in low-lying areas. Up to 3 inches of rain was expected in urban areas & 3-7 inches possible over higher terrain. The entire area from Napa south thru Monterey & San Benito Counties would get a good soaking from this atmospheric river. Latest model guidance suggests the coastal slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains & Big Sur look to be the primary target of the heaviest rain. On top of this, a high wind watch was also in effect during the period. South winds 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50-60 mph are possible. North Bay, San Francisco Bay Shoreline, East Bay, Santa Cruz Mountains, and the South Bay will all be affected. Timing of the strongest winds are forecast to happen Tuesday evening thru Wednesday morning as this strong system’s cold front sweeps thru. Damaging winds can blow down trees & power lines which may result in power outages… Stay tuned to the latest forecast for the most up-to-date weather info online…
Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of Saturn, taken about one month ago. Color/processing variant.
Original caption: Saturn is by far the solar system’s most photogenic planet, and in this latest Hubble Space Telescope snapshot it is especially so because Saturn’s magnificent ring system is near its maximum tilt toward Earth (which was in 2017).
Hubble was used to observe the planet on June 6, 2018, when Saturn was only approximately 1.36 billion miles from Earth, nearly as close to us as it ever gets.
Saturn was photographed as it approached a June 27 opposition, when the planet is directly opposite to the Sun in the night sky and is at its yearly closest distance to the Earth. Though all of the gas giants boast rings, Saturn’s are the largest and most spectacular, stretching out eight times the radius of the planet.
Saturn’s stunning rings were first identified as a continuous disk around the planet by Dutch astronomer Christiaan Huygens in 1655. 325 years later, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft flyby of Saturn resolved thousands of thin, fine ringlets. Data from NASA’s Cassini mission suggests the rings formed 200 million years ago, roughly around the time of the dinosaurs and Earth’s Jurassic period. The gravitational disintegration of one of Saturn’s small moons created myriad icy debris particles, and collisions today likely continually replenish the rings.
Visible in this Hubble image are the classic rings as recorded by early skywatchers. From the outside in are the A ring with the Encke Gap, the Cassini Division, the B ring, and the C ring with the Maxwell Gap.
Saturn’s appearance changes due to its seasons, caused by the planet’s 27-degree axial tilt. It is now summer in Saturn’s northern hemisphere and the atmosphere is more active. This may be responsible for a string of bright clouds visible near the northern polar region that are the remnants of a disintegrating storm. Small, mid-latitude puffs of clouds are also visible. Hubble’s view also resolves a hexagonal pattern around the north pole, a stable and persistent wind feature discovered during the Voyager flyby in 1981.
Saturn’s colors come from hydrocarbon hazes above the ammonia crystals in the upper cloud layers. Unseen lower-level clouds are either ammonium hydrosulfide or water. The planet’s banded structure is caused by the winds and the clouds at different altitudes.
This is the first image of Saturn taken as part of the Outer Planet Atmospheres Legacy (OPAL) project. OPAL is helping scientists understand the atmospheric dynamics and evolution of our solar system’s gas giant planets.
A pair of EMD SD-26s move through Guilford Rail System's East Deerfield Yard in East Deerfield, MA. GRS is now known as PanAm Railways, and I'm pretty sure these two locomotives are at the very least out of service, if not already been scrapped. Taken on May 31, 2003 on Fuji Provia 400
The calm after the storm... Gotta love the sunlight reflecting off of the wet street! Thunderstorms had occurred in the region during the morning hours this day. It was finally feeling a lot like fall! They were still predicting a strong El Niño this upcoming winter... Pic taken from around San Jose, CA. (Monday around sunset, November 9, 2015; 4:39 p.m.)
Weather update:
A cold storm system was to bring periods of rain to the Bay Area from late Saturday night thru Monday. This system which had dropped down from the Gulf of Alaska was to bring rain to across much of northern and central California, along with mountain snow. Rain had began in the North Bay late Saturday night as the system's cold front pushed in. The front then pushed southward into our region by Sunday. Widespread shower activity was to follow the front from Sunday night through Monday. T-storms were likely on Monday due to an unstable airmass behind the front. Showers were forecast to taper off by Monday evening. Drier weather was forecast to return by Tuesday...

The Interim Cryogenic Propulsion Stage (ICPS) is the first segment for NASA's Space Launch System (SLS) rocket to arrive at the agency's Kennedy Space Center in Florida and is currently in the Space Station Processing Facility. The ICPS will be located at the very top of the SLS, just below the Orion capsule. During Exploration Mission-1, NASA's first test mission of the SLS rocket and Orion, the ICPS, filled with liquid oxygen and liquid hydrogen, will give Orion the big in-space push needed to fly beyond the Moon before returning to Earth. The ICPS was designed and built by ULA in Decatur, Alabama, and Boeing in Huntsville, Alabama.

This video shows Winter Storm Nika bring much needed rainfall to drought-strickened California. Much of the system's moisture and rainfall fell during the morning hours this Sunday, February 2, 2014. The satellite imagery was courtesy of NASA, as well as radar images from The Weather Channel.
We were treated with a sunrise prior to the system's cold front passage. As the front moved thru, southerly to southeasterly winds began to blow. Coming late morning, the rains had lit up but the winds were gusting anywhere from 20-30 mph, especially around the foothills of Mt. Hamilton.
Coming afternoon, some atmospheric instability from Nika had increased chances of thunderstorm development. There was a few storm cells that grew around our region. It's been a while since we've seen a full grown cumulonimbus so this was a welcome sight...let alone rain! It was Super Bowl Sunday as well this day so me and some of us went to my cousin's place in Sunnyvale to watch the game. Gloomy, stormy skies persisted as Nika slowly drifts southwestward, finally leaving our area by early evening or so.
Summary:
Winter Storm Nika had given us a little but much-needed beneficial rainfall this day in California. Some afternoon instability had led to possible t-storm development. Afternoon high temps this day reached into the mid to upper 50's. Despite Nika's moisture, the drought in California was still a big growing concern. Wells are starting to run dry and reservoir levels at record lows as the state faces the worst drought in almost a century. The number of vulnerable communities is expected to increase.
