Operating the inaugural Qatar Airways Doha to Dublin service, Airbus A350 A7--ALE heads towards the terminal.
The daily service operates using their dreamliner 787's, but for the first day, this A350 was used, this type of aircraft still very rare in Dublin.
Qatar had been rumored to be coming to Dublin for years, following in the footsteps of Emirates & Etihad, so today, questions were answered.
A simple 1-transistor buffer circuit is used to amplify the current through the footswitch. The footswitch then only has to switch a few mA.
Here I am testing the circuit to be sure I've chosen a suitable transistor (2N3019). I dislike solderless breadboards for most applications due to unreliable connections and stray capacitance, but for something like this they work fine.
The 2 clip leads are connected to a jack plug in the footswitch socket on the back of the chassis.
The transistor goes into saturation when the 2 switch wires (blue leads on the breadboard) are shorted. It drops about 0.7V, so it's dissipating about 0.1W. Easily within its ratings.

Mattel’s answer to Kenner’s mega hit Six Million Dollar Man series, the Ultimate Man of Adventure, Pulsar! He has fantastic working lungs and heart with blood circulation plus opening face to reveal a holographic mission disc. To maintain Pulsar, Mattel came up with this Life Systems Centre, the counterpart to Kenner's SMDM Bionic Transport and Repair Station, which was also released in 1977 and it is packed with gimmicks and play-ability. Sadly though the entire Pulsar series is Pulsar himself, his nemesis, the Ultimate Enemy, Hypnos and this Life Systems Centre, just three only. Sorry it did not go well for they are really wonderful toys... When it comes to word "Pulsar" people would most likely think Nissan Pulsar!
There are 3 PCBs mounted in the main chassis. At the top, the small PCB contains an audio oscillator to produce a warning tone if the announcement tape is not properly loaded.
In the middle (on the slant, next to the announcement solenoid) is a 2-transistor latch circuit to turn on an indicator lamp if the announcement has been played -- that is that the machine has answered a call -- so that it is worth checking for messages on the tape.
At the bottom is the audio output amplifier to drive the speaker. Curiously, the driver stage and the driver transformer are on the main PCB, resulting in a lot of connections between the two.
All Saints, North Runcton, Norfolk
It was a gloomy morning, and the parish of North Runcton was not about to lighten the mood. The church is one of East Anglia's few 18th Century rebuilds, and it is set beside a polite, pretty village green with houses for company. There is no reason on God's earth why the church can't be open during the day, except that this is part of the Middlewinch benefice of churches, for whom welcoming the stranger within the gate or giving hospitality to pilgrims thereby entertaining angels unawares is just something some bloke talked about in the Bible.
There isn't a keyholder notice, but there is one of those efficient lists of telephone numbers churches put up nowadays in case of a gas leak or an earthquake or the like, so John and I stood in the rain ringing them, one by one. Eventually a posh lady answered. Yes, she was the keyholder. No, she couldn't bring the key to the church, and the reason for this was quite extraordinary. It was because I was a man. They didn't bring the key to the church if a man rang unless they were accompanied by someone, and as she was on her own she couldn't do that. She suggested I ring another number, a man, the churchwarden.
His wife answered. She was much less pompous than the first keyholder, but her husband was out, he wouldn't be back till that evening, and no she couldn't bring the key to the church because...
The third keyholder was out, but in any case she was also a woman, so there probably wasn't much point in ringing her. In visits to more than 3,000 English churches over the last twenty years I have only been refused admittance to a church twice before. So, seething quietly inside, we shook the dust (well, mud) of North Runcton from our feet and headed on. By the time we reached the road to Grimston, the sun had come out.
Our route during the day took us northwards and then back down towards Downham Market in a long loop. By mid-afternoon we were approaching North Runcton again, so I gave the churchwarden another ring, just in case he'd returned home early. No such luck. I tried the keyholder who'd been out earlier - still out. So I made one final, desperate attempt to convince the first keyholder.
She didn't seem terribly happy that I'd rung back, and went through the same formulation as before as if she was reading it off of a card. So I suggested that we might come to her house and borrow the key. Well, she actually scoffed. She made it very clear that churches do NOT give out their keys to strangers whom they know nothing about. This was news to me, as not twenty minutes before a kind man at Roydon, who I'd never met before and who didn't know me from Adam, had entrusted me with the key to his church. Indeed, I've borrowed hundreds of keys over the years to see inside churches. But I didn't say any of this because she was beginning to make me feel very small indeed. I let her remind me of the moral of this tale, that I should have rung in advance before I'd set off (but where would I have found the number?), and then I ended the call.
Now, it may well be that North Runcton is a thriving parish, and this church is packed to the gunwales three times every Sunday. Perhaps they actually don't need to be open as an act of witness to strangers, pilgrims and those with a thirst for a sense of the spiritual. Indeed, perhaps they have no room to welcome the tax collectors and sinners who might respond to the sense of the numinous they'd find by wandering into this building on their own, on a weekday. Perhaps they actually do need to keep people out.
But I suspect that this isn't so. The great majority of Norfolk's medieval churches are open to visitors every day. The Church of England knows the power of an open church, knows that it is its greatest act of witness, and in any case works very hard in this county ministering to all its people, churchgoers or not. But there are still pockets of Norfolk where the buildings are kept locked from one end of the week to the next, where the risk of Faith that an open door represents is not taken.
Instead, such benefices open their churches only for the slightly smug activities of the Sunday club, while the graveyard is left to the pagan cult of the dead, the bereaved worshipping their recent ancestors with propitiatory flowers, unable to combine this with a prayer said inside a sacred building, increasingly unaware even that this might be an appropriate thing to do.
As the years go by, the congregation gets smaller, and older, and less welcoming to strangers, hanging on to the rituals that comfort them but which otherwise serve no community devotional purpose, and are no means for sharing the faith and love and life of the parish. The building is used less and less often, eventually being abandoned altogether by people who, no doubt, bemoan the decline and fall of their congregation and shake their heads gravely at the immorality of the young of today, their lack of respect and belief.
And yet, they have not even once taken the risk of letting themselves be found by us, the strangers wondering at the God-shaped hole within ourselves, surprising a hunger to be more serious, and gravitating with it to this ground.
I may well yet be told that the parish of North Runcton is not at all like this. But I expect that it probably is. I am in my fifties now, but when I come to places like North Runcton I feel that I will live to see the last days of the Church of England. I was briefly taken with an apocalyptic vision of the Diocese of Norwich, or anyone else with an interest in the survival of the good old CofE, hastening to places like this, pitchforks in hand, to drive out the current regime, to open the doors and windows of the church and let the air and light in.

I want answers: Do you prefer these before or after refurbishment, and with green blinds or white blinds?
I can answer the first question pretty bluntly, but the second one is more interesting. I'm so used to seeing them with white that it almost looks weird in green but, at the same time, it looks pretty cool.
I miss the old 220's look. I can't stand the route anymore now, even though some of the ADEs are decent.
Nikon's answer to Fuji smart APS compact cameras. The departure was so radical for Nikon that they felt compelled to put a sticker on the back reading "stainless steel ", possibly because we were too used to plastic nasty compacts.
For the rest, the camera is not as big as the photo might suggest, but it was designed to be compact when not taking pictures. the lens sports a dead slow 4,5 zoom, but slightly wider than the competition.
The camera sports the usual flash modes and all the goodies allowed by the APS system, MRC, tittles, text, etc.
A nice effort, quickly followed by a second version that dumped all the metal parts, sigh...

Be constantly curious. Wondering why will always encourage you to be more mindful. Asking questions and looking for the answers will bring you into the moment. Curiosity has so many positive benefits, but one of the greatest is its ability to keep alert to the world all around you.

More than 600 community members answered the “call to dirty” on June 18 and completed the annual Mountain Mudder – a 5.5-mile course with 25 obstacles guaranteed to challenge both the mind and body (as well as your laundry detergent!). The Mudder, hosted by Fort Drum Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation (FMWR) and the Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers (BOSS) program, had twice as many obstacles as last year, and had all the wet, muddy, and even soapy, fun that participants have come to expect every year.

This is kind of evolution, I guess, again.
There are so many questions out there, but so many answers swell.
And I've got to say I'm back on it, but this time it's gonna be different, a new year began, new resolutions, new project!
So many things has changed last year, it's still a bit disturbing I've got to say, I feel quite much better now, it's just so weird sometimes...
Anyway, I've learnt from all of this, that you should never give up on your dream, and believe in you, what you worth. I've got to say I doubted about it, many times, and I still do but it's just a detail I'm not wasting too much time from now on.
Have a great day and a happy new year folks! Xx
