Had the opportunity to play a little Bioshock Infinite recently. Extremely entertaining. Re-entry inspired partly by the China Broom and Vox Burstrifle.
My re-entry to the 30's SPW contest. I wanted to improve upon my original Liberator since I felt the original was too similar to a WWII-era machine gun. And with that in mind I created this. A weapon I feel is closer to the criteria, as well as the Bioshock lore. So here ya' go. A pimped out and art deco'd Liberator machine gun. Excuse any errors in the shine as it's my first time using that build style.

Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, and the ships which sail through the sea with that which is of use to mankind, and the water (rain) which Allâh sends down from the sky and makes the earth alive therewith after its death, and the moving (living) creatures of all kinds that He has scattered therein, and in the veering of winds and clouds which are held between the sky and the earth, are indeed signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for people of understanding.

Kupira Akisame, a woman from the country in the far east known as Japan, was someone with a childhood nobody would everwish upon their own children. born from a Yakuza and an outcasted shrine maiden, her life consisted of running and never looking back. This all changed when Kupira met a strange, old man while she was fleeing from yet another attempt at her life.
Understanding the sitation, the man took her in and taught her everything he knew. Kupira was an adept learner and within the 15 until his death that she spent with the old man, Kupira learned to master various martial arts, weapon techniques, acupuncture and also became a very adept smith and crafter. It was also during this time that she met her future boss and best friend, Proctor Origin, and discovered she too was a soulcaster.
After her sensei's death, Kupira took on his surname and vowed to use her skills to vanquish demons alongside Proctor. Currently, she is also responsible for teaching Jabberwock the neccesary skills in life...
So yeah, new moc for y'all to enjoy. please leave comments and feedback below, its all greatly appreciated ^^
On avait mis les morts à table
On faisait des châteaux de sable
On prenait les loups pour des chiens.
Tout changeait de pôle et d'épaule
La pièce était-elle ou non drôle
Moi, si j'y tenais mal mon rôle
C'était de n'y comprendre rien.

When photographing wild animals, patience, perseverance and understanding behavior are most important, but luck does play a role. After a successful evening of photographing Barn Owl, it was time to head home. On the way this guy was sitting on this nice perch AND he didn't take off! Lucky indeed. What's even more lucky is that I managed to get sharp images at 1/20 of a second with a 500mm lens.

Thanks for viewing.
NS empty hopper train 809 is seen heading west at the diamonds at Romulus in late afternoon light. My understanding is that this is an empty coke train from US Steel at Zug Island
And from the dark secluded valleys
I heard the ancient sighs of sadness
But every step I thought of you
Every footstep only you
And every star a grain of sand
The leavings of a dried up ocean
Tell me, how much longer? How much longer?
Bertie and Sky were sitting on the sofa in their favourite place happily chatting away when Posh Bear sat down beside them.
“How are you guys today?” Asked Posh.
“We’re good thanks, Posh.” Replied Bertie.
“Posh, do you understand hoomans?” Asked Sky, with a hopeful look on his face.
“No, I don’t think there is an animal around that understands hoomans, why do you ask?”
“Well, Bertie and me were talking about it.” Replied Sky.
“That should be Bertie and I, Sky.” Corrected Posh.
“I don’t think so Posh, we have never spoken about what Sky and me were talking about.” Said Bertie defending his best friend.
“Okay, so why do you wish to know about hoomans?” Asked Posh giving up on the grammar.
“It was just an observation Posh; we were trying to work out if hoomans and clocks were related at one time.” Explained Bertie.
“Hoomans and clocks?” Said Posh scratching his head with his paw.
“Yes, we thought they might be related, or even that they may be in battle against one another.” Said Sky looking at Bertie.
“Why do you think that? I mean what do they have in common with one another?” Asked Posh still confused.
“Lots of things Posh.” Said Sky readily.
“Yes, they both have faces, they both have two hands, they often both have feet, and only the other week I heard the man talking about his ticker and clocks have them too.” Said Bertie nodding as he explained.
“Yes, and there is more too, Posh. Hoomans seem to live their life governed by time and clocks, as if they are confused but still fighting against time, like for ever.” Added Sky.
“There is also the fact that hoomans have tried to remove the face from clocks and also have taken their hands and ticks away on many new clocks, so they are just numbers. We find all this very strange.” Said Bertie firmly and looking at Sky in agreement.
“So, so what do you have to say about that Posh? Are we right?” Asked Sky seemingly desperate for his reply.
“Well, I agree that it all fits together and I suppose time was invented my hoomans, but I don’t think there is a real connection there.”
“How can you say that Posh? Hoomans are fascinated by time, they always want to look backwards and forwards into the future. Is that because they are not happy with the present?” Asked Bertie.
“I don’t know, and I don’t think you’ll ever find the answers chaps, let us change the subject and talk about something we do understand like honey?” Said Posh gently.
“Posh, do you think that if clocks were soft and fluffy like us, and were good listeners that never betrayed a secret, that were always there to listen and love their hooman, do you think they could replace us bears?” Asked Bertie.
Posh smiled softly at his friends as he shook his head.
“Now that I can be sure about, hoomans love us bears just as we love them and there is nothing, not even time, that will replace that bond we have between us. It is often forged just after the birth of a hooman, and goes deep down, it will last for ever.”

Boyer’s work often examines what can be seen as contradictory experiences. During the COVID lockdown, the artist maintained her connection with nature and the land by watching the prairie sky from her window. She conceived of this work as an exploration of her identity as Métis, White settler and Queer, represented through the relationship among the sun, clouds and sky. For Boyer, the work ”materially connects my body, and the skies of places that were formative to understanding myself.”

Priest and adepts of the temple of thunder (Benin)
The Thunder Temple is a sacred place devoted to Hevioso, the powerful god of thunder, justice, and fertility in Vodun tradition.
Known as the bringer of storms and balance, Hevioso's might is said to strike like lightning, both metaphorically and literally.
In this spiritual practice, those struck by lightning are considered to have been directly touched by the god. Some believe it is a sign of punishment, while others see it as a divine calling.
The Thunder Temple is not just a place of worship; it’s a gateway to understanding the Vodun belief system, where nature’s fury is seen as sacred and life is deeply intertwined with the elements.

8 metres high and 15 metres long, the artwork rotates and with its 13 red neon letters it forms a clear message: Understanding.
The initial plan was to present the work last summer at the cancelled Roskilde Festival no. 50. Now, it lights up the darkness in Copenhagen as an artistic gesture to the public spirit we all show at the moment.
The piece is created by the world-famous and award-winning British artist Martin Creed, and it has previously been raised in Brooklyn, New York, with Manhattan's skyline as a backdrop.

Struggling with understanding Blender's user-interface. Blender is not the most intuitive monster to control.
Bleh, never-ever liked it.
I love that it's free and seems pretty powerful and extremely stable. I haven't had a single crash, sputter, or file-corruption in Blender, since i started using it a couple of weeks ago.
Most 3D programs can be twitchy half the time. Even the major programs used by major film and game studios.
In the middle of this build, Autodesk discontinued all student lifetime Maya licenses and charging everyone their exorbitant "subscription fees".
What a load of...molasses.
So, in a mad rush, I'm learning Blender and Avastar at the same time for the September event.
I don't want to give anything away. But I'm hoping this will be ready in Fitted, Slink, Maitreya, Legacy, and possibly Kupra. I'm guessing on most of these shapes, by taking an extreme amount of screenshots of friends on pose stands, then correcting perspective for patterns in Pixelmator Pro as backdrops in Blender.

I stand in the distance
I view from afar
Should I offer some assistance
Should it matter who you are
We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared
Confide in me, confide in me
I can keep a secret
And throw away the key
But sometimes to release it
Is to set our children free
We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared
Stick or twist the choice is yours
Hit or miss what's mine is yours
Stick or twist the choice is yours
Hit or miss what's mine is yours
We all get hurt by love
And we all have our cross to bear
But in the name of understanding now
Our problems should be shared
So i had originally intended to do a classic silhouette shower death scene but my bathroom is really not big enough. I also wanted to try a monster from under the bed but again my bed is too high with storage so no can do. So what was i left with to do, pour some paint in my mouth and snarl as much as possible!
I wish i could say this was alright but the poster paint tasted weird and i am still rinsing my mouth out like crazy, thankfully it is subsiding though. I tried this shot in red as well but it seemed to loose impact so i opted for the yellow putrification one might see after death, plus it reminds me of Sin City. :)
I really need to brighten my shots up more, anyhoo off to bed, work tomoz then enjoying the weekend. Catch you laters guys. :)

I'm incredibly sorry for my hiatus everyone; I've been overwhelmed with schoolwork and unfortunately I was not able to complete my 365 project. Though I will still continuously upload my photography, just not everyday. Thank you so much for understanding and I'm so happy to be viewing all of your beautiful photography once again! :D I hope you all had a wonderful Monday, and it sure feels good to be back!
**Wow this is my first photograph to ever be featured on explore! :'D Thank you all so much!
Some woods inspire understanding as to why early paths and roads followed animal trails. Trailblazing in thick, wet woods like these would be a chore.
Shallan had never bothered imagining what Damnation might look like. Yet here she was. The land was made of a deep, glassy black stone. Kind of like obsidian, with a black sky overhead, a cold sun -if it could even be called that- hanging at the end of a roadway of clouds.
No, she wasn’t dead, this was Shadesmar.
Pattern stood beside her. His black cloak hung at the sides too stiffly. Above the rigid, high collar, where his head should be, was a large, floating symbol of twisted design full of impossible angles and geometries.
In front of her was a dark ocean of shifting glass beads, clattering against one another. With her freehand, Shallan retrieved a sphere from that sea of beads. She stared, unblinking into that black sphere. Understanding flooded her mind, she held a soul, the soul of a building. Each bead in that vast ocean was the soul of something from the over side. She clutched the sphere that was the soul of a building, and tried to make it move. It resisted. She further pressed her mind against it, and it still resisted.
"You could be a ship," she said
"I am a building," came the reply in her mind.
"A grand ship, with sails."
"I am a building."
--Paraphrased from Brandon Sanderson’s “Oathbringer”
Understanding the misunderstood SD Quattro.
This is what my full size files look like before I size them for printing and web display. Before I knock them out of focus, add grain and sharpen them. I left this one clean so that all the imaging power of the SD Quattro + 35/1.4 could be illustrated in the rendering of all those droplets.
the most effective way to destroy people is to deny and obliterate their own understanding of their history...
And be sure to check by my other acount: www.flickr.com/photos_user.gne?path=&nsid=77145939%40..., to see what else I saw this week!!
Yes I'm back again.
However due to my main computer on which I edit my work being struck down with a big bad virus, this picture and all the others I am uploading, were Unedited but have now been replaced with Edited versions. So enjoy and Thanks for your patience and understanding.
I do still hate everything about this shit that is new Flickr and always will, but an inability to find another outlet for my work that is as easy for me to use as the Old BETTER Flickr was, has forced me back to Flickr, even though it goes against everything I believe in.
I don't generally have an opinion on my own work, I prefer to leave that to other people and so based on the positive responses to my work from the various friends I had made on Flickr prior to the changes I have decided to upload some more of my work as an experiment and to see what happens.
So make the most of me before they delete my acount: www.flickr.com/photos/69558134@N05/?details=1, to stop me complaining!!
Note: for a better understanding of Damian Wayne in the DCSG I suggest you go read Supremedalekdunn’s Batman: Knight of Gotham #48-59 (this issue will be a synthesized version of KoG #59 from Robin’s perspective). Or if you just want to read something amazing, because that entire volume is really something special.
Tim noticed that the Batcave felt colder than usual. Perhaps it was the fact that Bruce Wayne’s child, whom he did not know he had, was occupying the containment cell. Or perhaps, it was the way Bruce said,
“Ra’s will come for the boy.” Alfred had placed Damian Wayne’s Crimson Knight suit inside of a display case, which he, Tim, and Bruce now stared at.
“We can beat him Bruce. We might be outnumbered. We might even be outgunned. But when has that ever stopped us?” Tim was reaching. In truth, the League of Assassins had always terrified him. Sparring with Bruce was a challenge enough, but to fight dozens of his former peers always sounded like a challenge too great for himself. Not to mention fighting the Demon’s Head himself, Ra’s al Ghul.
“It hasn’t.” Alfred replied on Bruce’s behalf, as the latter stared deeply into the eyes of the Crimson Knight suit.
“We’ll do it how we always do Bruce. Together.” Tim’s words seemed to snap Bruce out of his trance, as the Batman replied,
“Together.”
————————————————————————————————
Bruce left the cave in the resulting minutes, leaving his cowl on a vacant terminal. Tim approached the terminal and slumped against it, sliding to the ground where he sat looking around the enormous cave surrounding him. He looked around the cave he had called home for the past several years before he heard a voice in his ear,
“Tim?” Panicking, Tim realized that he had left his earpiece in.
“Hey Steph.” He responded.
“What’s going on?” Thinking of which way to best sum up the story of Damian, Tim sarcastically answered,
“An insane, drugged-up version of Batman attacked our city and now an ancient order of ninjas are coming to destroy everything.”
“The League of Assassins?” Stephanie asked on the other line.
“How’d you know-?”
“Love conspiracies. Everyone’s got a hobby, right? I mean, I’ve got this new one now, and you’ve had yours for a while…” Stephanie went silent, then asked, “So how bad is it? I mean, there’ve only been rumors…”
“Think one hundred Batmans killing people and burning down buildings.”
“So, not that bad.” Stephanie’s sarcasm prompted a laugh from Tim who said,
“I’m glad you’re back Steph.” While Stephanie simply replied,
“Glad to be back.”

End of Volume 2
Understanding that all of this is impermanent increases your spiritual potential. You can act with greater energy, enthusiasm, and strength. We think that by acknowledging everything as impermanent, we will diminish our enthusiasm and enter a state of apathy. This is not true. A proper understanding of impermanence ignites the spirit. When the spirit is ignited, you feel uplifted. You have enthusiasm and activity.
Wind measurements are crucial for understanding and forecasting tropical storms since they are closely tied to the overall dynamics of the storm. The dual-wavelength (Ku and Ka band) High-Altitude Imaging Wind and Rain Airborne Profiler (HIWRAP) flew for the first time on the Global Hawk Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) during the 2010 Genesis and Rapid Intensification Processes (GRIP).
The HIWRAP is able to measure line-of-sight and ocean surface winds at higher spatial and temporal resolution than obtained by current satellites and lower-altitude instrumented aircraft. HIWRAP is conical scanning, and winds and reflectivity can be mapped within the swath below the Global Hawk. HIWRAP utilizes solid state transmitters along with a novel pulse compression scheme. This results in a system that is considerably more compact in size, requires less power, and ultimately costs significantly less than typical radars currently in use for clouds and precipitation observation.
HIWRAP is able to image the winds through volume backscattering from clouds and precipitation, enabling it to measure the tropospheric winds above heavy rain at high levels. The first interesting case from the HIWRAP flights were the rapid intensification of Hurricane Karl on September 16 and 17, 2010. This visual will highlight the precipitation structure of this storms during their intensification as derived from the HIWRAP KU observations.
Please note, the dimensions of the Global Hawk were exaggerated by a factor of 10 so the viewer could see the UAV. The Global Hawk actual dimensions are 44.4 ft (13.5 m) length by 116.2 ft. (35.4 m) wingspan by 15.2 ft (4.6 m) height. The movie starts as the Global Hawk flies over Hurricane Karl to reveal a Hot Tower. Hot towers are important to understanding hurricane intensification because they can carry hot moist air through the high layer of cirrus clouds above a hurricane. Hot towers are hard to study because they go so high and they do not last very long. In this movie, several of the paths have been placed in storm-centered coordinates and laid together to reveal the storm's hot towers and eyewall development. The structure of this storm is seen through reflectivity data where dbz is between 25 and 40.The HIWRAP data is colored based on the height. Red is 12 km, orange is 10 km, yellow is 7.5 km, green is 6 km, and blue is under 6 km.

In Abrahamic tradition, Eve (Hebrew: Chavah) is recognized as the first woman, created by God to be the companion of Adam and the mother of all humanity. Her narrative, primarily found in the Book of Genesis, serves as a foundational story for understanding human nature, morality, and gender roles across Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Origin and Names
Creation: According to the "Yahwist" narrative (Genesis 2), Eve was created from Adam's rib (or "side") while he slept, intended to be an ezer kenegdo—a "helper corresponding to him".
Etymology: Her name Chavah is derived from the Hebrew root for "living," signifying her role as the "mother of all living". Adam initially calls her "Woman" (ishsha) because she was taken out of "Man" (ish).
The Narrative of Eden
The Fall: Living in the Garden of Eden, Eve was tempted by a serpent to eat from the forbidden Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. She ate the fruit and shared it with Adam, leading to their immediate realization of nakedness and subsequent expulsion from paradise.
Consequences: As punishment, God pronounced that Eve would experience pain in childbirth and be subject to her husband, while Adam would toil for food from a cursed earth.
Legacy: Eve is the mother of Cain, Abel, and Seth, as well as numerous other sons and daughters.
Religious Perspectives
Christianity: Often focuses on the concept of Original Sin originating from this event. Eve is sometimes contrasted with the Virgin Mary, known as the "New Eve," whose obedience to God is seen as undoing Eve’s disobedience.
Islam: The Quranic version depicts Adam and Eve as equally responsible for their transgression, and both are forgiven by Allah after they repent.
Judaism: Traditionally emphasizes the story as a "wisdom tale" explaining the harsh realities of life and the nature of moral choice rather than a doctrine of inherited sin.
Folklore and Modern Reclamations
Lilith: Jewish folklore (e.g., The Alphabet of Ben Sira) introduces Lilith as Adam’s supposed first wife who left Eden after refusing to be subservient, though this character does not appear in the biblical text.
Feminist Interpretation: Modern scholars have sought to reclaim Eve, viewing her not as a "seductress" but as an archetypal figure representing female agency, motherhood, and the transition of humanity into a state of moral consciousness.
