Mmmmmm, fun. By my calculations, I will be able to afford this combo in 2027.

From Thursday through Saturday, the PhotoPlus Expo, a giant photography trade show, is running in New York, and I took off work today to be one of the first in line. For all my sample photos from the show, using every camera I can slip my card into, see here.
By current calculations the ship is 104 studs from Agitator front to rear of the second section. That means I can reduce overall length, as adding the rear section is at least another 32 studs.
Pencil Sharpener Rant - Inkling on Moleskine, again
Yet another week passed seeing nonsense going on in certain poor company-wide execution. Poor logic, calculation and consideration (no those are not algorithms, at all) executed in the name of efficiency and ideal automation. Simply said, replacing human decision with formulae requires deep understanding and serious simulations *before* execution. Now is the stage when a lot more human intervention is required to fix certain poor logics.
Yes I'm a sharpener mining my my own business shaping the future in my own ways. Forcing some nonsense into me and I'll keep cranking until raging fume comes out because I refuse to play nice to nonsense. The day when I need protection is the day I lost my value as a sharpener, as blades are not meant to be protected, they are to shape.
Ok, enough self proclaimed heroism. This is just a quick sketch using Inkling on my Moleskine, graphically rant about my recent encounter with sick things. The drawing was exported to Photoshop using Sketch Manager and colored in a sloppy way. Enough to calm me down, call it a therapy.
Wacom Hong Kong is going to have a press conference on 28th Sep 2011 to announce Inkling officially. Since I'm a big fan of Inkling and still sort of a Moleskine fanatic while luckily being the stationery buyer of a retail chain, I'm arranging a promotion in October: Buy Inkling and get 20% off for Moleskine Sketchbook (large or small). This simulation of store display was done in 30 minutes while attending a presentation meeting. I'm very happy to be able to get support from both Wacom and Moleskine for such campaign in such a short time. It won't be a big hit, but at least it benefits certain stationery lovers who happen to love both Inkling and Moleskine. Let's see how it will turn out.

The kit and its assembly:
This is a what-if model, but, as usual, it is rooted in reality – to be precise in the German late-war plans to mate the Ta 152(H) with the mighty Jumo 222 engine. I do not know what the official service designation would have been, but this combo would have resulted in a powerful fighter – AFAIK, German engineers’ calculations indicated a performance that would have been comparable with the post-WWII F4U-5!
Creating a model of such this paper aircraft called for some serious conversion work and ended almost in a kitbashing. The starting point became a (cheap) Mistercraft Fw 190D-9 kit, and I originally planned this model to be a Fw 190 variant, but eventually this turned into a Ta 152, since it would better match up with the late war time frame.
The Mastercraft/Mistercraft kit appears to be an indigenous mold and not a re-issue of a vintage kit. At first glance the parts look pretty crisp, but the kit has some serious fit and flash issues. Another selling point is the detailed decal set, which comes in three sheets and encompasses a lot of stencils – even though the instructions where to place them are not consistent, and there are even 1:48 scale(!) markings included. But that’s a Mastercraft/Mistercraft standard, anyway…
Well, the basis was sound and the kit would, in any event, be thoroughly modified. From the OOB kit, fuselage, wings and stabilizers were taken, as well as the landing gear and some other bits.
The wings were extended, in order to keep overall proportions with the new, much more massive engine cowling balanced (see below). Not an easy stunt, but I was lucky to have recently bought a set of resin Doppelreiter tanks from Airmodel which were just perfect to cover the cuts and seams on the upper wing surfaces. Inside of the wings, a styrene strip secured stability while the lower wing surface was sculpted with putty and the trailing edge of the outer wing panels was cut down by 1 mm, so that the wings’ outlines match again. Some further PSR work was necessary to blend the slipper tanks into the wings, forming the upper side of the modifications, but in the end the whole thing looks quite good.
The fuselage lost both its original engine and the tail. The latter is a donor part from a Frog Ta 152H (Revell re-boxing), but mating it with the Mistercraft Fw 190D was not easy because the fuselage shapes of the two kits are totally different! I also used the Mistercraft stabilizers because they were markedly bigger than the same parts from the Ta 152 kit!
The Jumo 222 front end was simulated with parts from the spares box, and it is a bit exaggerated. Actually, the Jumo 222 was hardly bigger (in both length and diameter) than the Fw 190D’s Jumo 213 V12 engine! The cowling and the radiator for my conversion came from a Frog He 219 engine nacelle (Revell re-boxing, too) which is utterly dubious. The nacelle parts were turned upside down and integrated into the slender Fw 190 front fuselage with several layers of putty.
Inside of the cowling, a radiator plate from an Italeri Fw 190D was mounted, together with a styrene tube adapter for the new propeller. The latter was scratched, using a drop tank as spinner and single propeller blades from the Mistercraft Fw 190D, plus one donor blade from the Frog Ta 152H kit, which had to be trimmed in order to match the other blades. But with some paint, no one will tell the small differences…
Once the bigger engine was integrated into the fuselage, the exhaust system had to be added. In real life, the Jumo 222 would have featured three clusters with two rows of four exhaust stubs, distributed evenly around the cowling. Using a drawing of this arrangement as benchmark, I started with square cuts for the cluster openings. From the back side, styrene sheet closed the gaps and offered a basis for the exhaust stubs. These were improvised with H0 scale roofing shingles – each of the 24 exhaust stubs was cut individually into shape and size and then glued into the respective openings on the upper flanks and under the engine. Finally, styrene sheet was used to create small spoilers and heat shields. The result is certainly not perfect, but comes close to what the real world arrangement would basically have looked like. In a final step, two air intakes for the two-stage supercharger, scratched from sprue material, were added to the flanks.
The cockpit remained OOB, simple as it is, as well as the landing gear, but the canopy was modified in order to allow a presentation in open position. This meant that the OOB canopy had to be cut in two parts and that the model’s spine had to be cut away, making place for a donor canopy (the late, bulged variant, IIRC from an Italeri Fw 190D-9). Internally the fuselage gap was filled with putty and the headrest had to be modified, too, but the conversion turned out to look better than expected.
As a small cosmetic improvement, the molded gun barrel stumps in the wing roots were replaced with hollow steel needles, and the outer guns were completely removed.
Sometimes distance calculation is different than distance colour lists, we see the same paradox circumstance among the Moldavian Scythians and Sarmatians.

Curated by Indigo, Unintended Calculations brings together a group of internationally renowned artists – Augustine Kofie (LA), Jerry Inscoe (PDX), Remi/Rough (LDN) and Scott Sueme (VAN) – for an exhibition at Becker Galleries and two collaborative murals at Moda Hotel exploring four very different approaches to abstraction. Working in a variety of mediums, these artists have evolved the letterform building blocks of their shared graffiti background, deconstructing and rebuilding them as compositions of color, line, shape and movement.
Japanese abacus, known as soroban in Japan. The reverse side has carved kanji characters painted red and black. Hand carved kanji numbers are across the front.
This is a 1/5 soroban: 1 bead above and 5 below.
In 1600s 2/5 soroban were imported from China. In 1850 they were changed to the 1/5 type (same as this one). Finally, they were revised to better suit decimal calculation in 1930 and became 1/4. This type is still used today in elementary schools.
Therefore, this bead combination shows that this was made somewhere between 1850 and 1930.

This is a copy made by Ron Haugh (deceased) of the actual measurements used to calculate the volume of space available in the hold of the Wandra. The volume is first calculated from measurements of all spaces in the vessel (Gross) and then deducts those spaces not available for cargo to calculate the Net capacity. The major space in this case is the Cabin Aft (12.44 tons) followed by the Deck Cabin (8.69 tons).
The volume is expressed in shipping tons, 1 shipping ton being the equivalent of 100 cubic feet. The calculation, for the sake of the Registration Certificate, is also expressed in cubic metres using the factor of 1 shipping ton being equal to 2.83 cubic metres.
It is common for official wrecksites to use the Depth of Hold number as Draft; clearly this is totally incorrect as the tonnage referred uses shipping tons that are are volume measurements. In no way do these data reflect a vessels Draft which is a fuction of load. In extreme cases the shipping tonnage has been converted shipping tons into tonnes - further misrepresenting the real measure.

LAUNCH OF THE WANDY
Despite being launched as the Wandy she was registered as the Wandra
Launching at Coopernook.
THE S.S. WANDY.
The fourteenth boat built by Mr. D. Sullivan was successfully launched at his Coopernook yards on Saturday last [1st June 1907], in the presence of several hundred spectators— the christening ceremony being performed by Miss Vera Sullivan (a grand-niece of Mr. Sullivan), who gracefully named the steamer "Wandy" as she left the ways. As is usual with Mr. Sullivan's launchings, not the slightest hitch occurred. The name Wandy is derived from Wandyan, on the South Coast, where Messrs. Allen Taylor & Co. are opening up the timber trade at St. George's Basin, near Jervis Bay. The firm has a mill there, and is working what is practically a virgin forest.
The new boat, which is of ordinary build, with a round bilge, is owned by Messrs. Allen Taylor and Co., and is to be placed in the timber trade. She is 125 feet long overall, and 120 feet between perpendiculars, with a 26ft. beam, and has a capacity for 60,000 feet of timber — this being equivalent to 180 tons dead weight, or 1800 bags of maize. The timber will be carried in a large hatch amidships. With the exception of that in the deck, which is Oregon, all the timber used in the construction of the vessel was obtained locally. The keel and keelsons are ironbark, the planking blackbutt and flooded gum, and the frames hardwood. Two masts, each 65ft. in length, will be fitted. The vessel will be of the twin-screw type, and will be electrically-lighted throughout. Accommodation will be provided for a crew of 12—the captain's cabin being on the bridge, and the officers' quarters aft, whilst the sailors will be accommodated for'ard. The engines will be of the compound type, 10-in. and 20-in. stroke, and will be placed aft. They are to be fitted by Messrs. Begg and Grieg [Greig], of Sydney. This firm also fitted the engines in the Pyrmont. A speed of 9 knots will be attained.
Copper fastenings have been used to the water line and galvanised above it. The keel of the Wandy was laid in September of last year, and since then 25 men have been employed by Mr. Sullivan in the yard and bush. The vessel will probably be towed to Sydney on Saturday by one of Messrs. J. and A. Brown's tugs [Alice].

ENTERED INTO THE CAPE HAWKE TRADE
The Cape Hawke Trade.— The new steamer Wandra, recently launched at Coopernook by Mr. D. Sullivan, has taken up the Cape Hawke trade for Messrs. Allen Taylor & Co. while the bar and crossing remain in their present shallow condition, and the S.S. Tuncurry is putting in the time elsewhere. The Wandra, when launched, was christened " Wandy" by mistake, but the correct name was registered by the company. She has been nicely fitted, and carries a good cargo on a light draught. Her speed is about 8 knots.

DAMAGE TO PROPELLER
Grounding and damage to propellers was a common problem for vessels trading along the NSW Coast.
ACCIDENT TO THE WANDRA.
The Navigation Department received a telegram to-day stating that while coming down the Manning River yesterday, the steamer Wandra, owned by Messrs, Allen Taylor and Co., lost two blades of her [starboard] propeller. Repairs will have to be effected at Sydney.

WANDRA ASSISTS IN RESCUE OF TRAMP
Wandra and Tug to the Rescue.
It fell to the lot of the coasting steamer Wandra, one of Messrs. Allen Taylor and Company's fleet to rescue the Tramp from her dangerous position off the coast.
When the report was received from Captain Thomson of the Wyandra, Captain Hacking, the Superintendent of the Department of Navigation, notified Captain Kerkin at the Manning River of the dismasted schooner's position, and he was instructed to take steps to have the derelict removed from the track of navigation. The steamer Wandra happened to be off the Manning River, and she was signalled to proceed to the wreck. A message had meanwhile been received giving the position of the Tramp as five miles to the southward of Crowdy Head. The Wandra came across the derelict shortly before noon on Monday, and Pilot Kerkin telegraphed to the Navigation Department during the afternoon: "Wandra proceeded as instructed, and secured the derelict. She is now steaming towards the bar, with the derelict in tow."
There was a heavy sea at the Manning River entrance when the Wandra and the derelict arrived off the bar, and the subsidised tug, John Gollan, put out and picked up the Tramp from the Wandra, and towed her inside, the tug and the dismasted vessel entering the river at 3.55 p.m.

WRECKED ON ROCKS NORTH OF JERVIS BAY – 15th December 1915
FOUNDERING OF THE STEAMER WANDRA.
Twelve members of the crew of the steamer Wandra, one of the small coasters belonging to Messrs. Allen Taylor and Co., reached Jervis Bay, on the South Coast, at 1.30 o'clock yesterday morning and reported the loss of the vessel. The Wandra foundered off the Drumsticks, about seven miles north of Point Perpendicular.
The Wandra was bound from Moruya to Sydney, timber-laden, in charge of Captain Rueben Lucey. North of Jervis Bay, the vessel became unmanageable, and subsequently foundered, the crew escaping in the boat with only what they stood in. Captain Lucey telephoned to Messrs. Allen Taylor and Co., yesterday morning news of the disaster, and the company is arranging for the crew to return overland via Nowra.
The Wandra was specially designed for the timber trade on the coast, and she had been running both north and south since she was built in 1907. She was a wooden vessel, of 164 tons gross and 71 tons net, with a length
of 120ft. 5in., beam of 26ft., and depth of 5ft. 8in. The vessel and cargo were covered in the United Insurance Co.
STATEMENT BY THE CAPTAIN.
Nowra, Thursday. — Captain Lucey, of the Wandra, states that the vessel left Moruya yesterday morning with cargo of 48,800 superficial feet of timber, mostly girders, and everything went well until she got five or six miles north of Jervis Bay Lighthouse. At about 10 o'clock at night, wind and sea being moderate, the Wandra suddenly filled up on the lee side, and did not recover. She went in towards Drumsticks at Currarong. The captain let go the anchor quickly, but she foundered almost immediately in from eight to ten fathoms of water. All hands were landed without any flurry or excitement, and proceeded to Jervis Bay lighthouse, where they received every attention. Captain Lucey says there is no chance of salving the Wandra.
The Daily Telegraph (Sydney, NSW : 1883 - 1930) Fri 17 Dec 1915
CREW'S EXPERIENCES AFTER SHIPWRECK.
NOWRA, Sunday 19th.
Captain Lucey, of the wrecked steamer Wandra, and all his crew, arrived at Nowra from Jervis Bay Lighthouse at 12.30 p.m. on Friday [17th]. They left the lighthouse at 6 o'clock in the morning, and a horse and cart having been provided by the lighthouse-keeper, they took it in turns to walk and ride towards Nowra. After covering some 12 miles in this manner they were met by vehicles sent out from Nowra, 16 miles away. From here they proceeded to Sydney.
The captain, who is suffering from a slight injury to one of his knees, sustained whilst landing at the Drumsticks, further states that immediately the sea was shipped and the steamer was in difficulties the ship's pumps were got to work, with the hope of pumping her out, but she never recovered the list received after shipping the sea, and sank with pumps working almost up to the last. The night was clear when she went down, and her masts were showing when they landed.
After landing rain set in, and being a cold night they all suffered considerably in their six-mile tramp to the lighthouse. The captain expressed his gratitude to the lighthouse-keeper and staff, who gave all the assistance in their power to himself and the crew, and provided them with a few pairs of boots, together with caps and tobacco.

GREAT LAKES MANNING RIVER SHIPPING, NSW - Flickr Group --> Alphabetical Boat Index --> Boat builders Index --> Tags List
Monday March 14, 2011.
Based on photo sampling calculations more than 1,680 people had gathered by 12:15pm in Spaight's Plaza for a UWM United rally. People voiced support for social justice issues threatened by Governor Walker's Agenda of stark cuts to public education and the middle class. Signs voiced support for a Recall Election of Republican State Senators, including Alberta Darling. Other sign holders and speakers voiced support for Solidarity of Workers, Teachers, Graduate Students, and Students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and candidates in an upcoming election on April 5th for Milwaukee County Supervisor, and for Wisconsin State Supreme Court. The Internet also made a brief, in person, humorous appearance.
"First produced in 1768, this worksheet gave navigators an easy process for calculating their longitude using new instruments and the Nautical Almanac. Each naval ship's master was required to train with qualified teachers in London or Portsmouth in order to gain a certificate of navigational competence" -- museum placard. Posting in honor of John Harrison's 352nd birthday, and to show that the fight continues.
"In seeking to chart the courses of the stars, the astronomers of medieval Islam made use of the most comprehensive mathematics the world had known to that time. This 16th-century Persian illumination shows a group of turbaned astronomers working in their observatory with an array of instruments including compasses, a globe of the world, astrolabes, and a mechanical clock."

With the emergence of protein structure modeling tools, researchers have the ability to design biomolecules with targeted applications, such as treating diseases and catalyzing medically and industrially useful reactions. Researchers from the University of Washington are using Mira to develop and apply new computational methods aimed at enhancing state-of-the-art protein structure prediction and design capabilities.
This image depicts a metal-binding protein designed by the Baker laboratory, which uses a noncanonical amino acid, bipyradynl alanine, to coordinate the bound metal. Bound metals often play essential catalytic roles at enzyme active sites. Advances made in the current INCITE application will improve the ability to design with non-natural building blocks, and to add enzymatic or other functions to designed proteins.
This project is advancing protein structure prediction and design capabilities to help researchers better understand bio-molecular structures with atomic-level precision. The broader impacts of this research will address challenges in medicine, energy, and technology, including the development of protein therapeutics for a number of diseases, and the design of protein reagents to capture and destroy various bioterror agents.

The Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility (OLCF) is home to Titan, the nation’s most powerful supercomputer for open science.
Titan is a hybrid-architecture Cray XK7 system with a theoretical peak performance exceeding 27,000 trillion calculations per second (27 petaflops). It contains both advanced 16-core AMD Opteron central processing units (CPUs) and NVIDIA Kepler graphics processing units (GPUs). GPUs are energy-efficient, high-performance chips originally developed for gaming systems. The combination of these two technologies allows Titan to achieve 10 times the speed and 5 times the energy efficiency of its predecessor, the Jaguar supercomputer, while using only modestly more energy and occupying the same physical footprint.
Titan features 18,688 compute nodes, a total system memory of 710 terabytes, and Cray’s high-performance Gemini network. Its 299,008 CPU cores guide simulations while the accompanying GPUs that can handle hundreds of calculations simultaneously. The system provides decreased time to solution, increased complexity of models, and greater realism in simulations.
Titan is enabling researchers across the scientific arena to acquire unparalleled accuracy in their simulations and achieve research breakthroughs more rapidly than ever before. OLCF simulations have improved the safety and performance of nuclear power plants, turbomachinery, and aircraft; aided understanding of climate change; sped development of new drugs and advanced materials; and guided design of the ITER international fusion reactor. Researchers have used OLCF systems to model supernovas, hurricanes, biofuels, neurodegenerative diseases, and clean combustion for power and propulsion.
Titan users have access to data analysis and visualization resources that include the Eos and Rhea systems and the Exploratory Visualization Environment for REsearch in Science and Technology, or EVEREST. Users also have access to file systems—like Spider for immediate data storage, with over 1,000 gigabytes per second of aggregate data bandwidth and more than 30 petabytes of storage capacity, and the High Performance Storage System (HPSS) for archival data storage—to manage the floods of data that Titan’s simulations generate. All of these resources are available through high-performance networks including ESnet’s upgraded 100 gigabit per second links.
Computational scientists gain access to OLCF’s cutting-edge facilities and support systems through three programs that allocate millions of processor hours. The Innovative and Novel Computational Impact on Theory and Experiment program, or INCITE, supports large-scale, high-impact projects that make concurrent use of at least 20 percent of Titan’s cores. The Advanced Scientific Computing Research Leadership Computing Challenge, or ALCC program, primarily aids research that supports the energy mission of the Department of Energy’s Office of Science and emphasizes high-risk, high-rewards endeavors. And the OLCF’s Director’s Discretionary program helps new high-performance computing users explore topics of national importance.
Research challenges remain, but Titan is helping launch a new era for science and engineering as computing approaches the exascale, or a million trillion calculations a second.

Flood of Highbrow Radio
Shilkret Orchestra to Compete With Detroit Symphony; New Songs for Penner
by Martin J. Porter (Aircaster)
If there is a highbrow element in the radio audience, it is going to have an opportunity to clap hands on and after Sunday night, October 7. from then on, for many weeks, the Sabbath comedy and variety are destined to be inundated by a wave of heavy musical culture.
It may be sheer coincidence—and then again, it may be cold business calculation, but it is a fact that the hour between 8 and 9 p.m. Sundays is going to change its complexion in a big way. We've heard all about the Detroit Symphony going into that spot at WABC October 7, under patronage of the gent who makes autos while you wait. But it's news. and somewhat surprising news, that in the hitherto unsold 8 to 9 period at WJZ Sundays, the biggest motorcar outfit in the country is tossing symphony, as it did last year, though the hour was different. This symphony. as of yore, wiII be banded by Nat Shilkret, and each week will bring a famous conductor to the podium. For eight weeks both symphonic programmes will compete with Rubinoff at WEAF, who, on October 7, settles back into regular routine. But at the end of those eight weeks, the Rubinoff presentation will undergo a radical change-and possibly make it unanimously cultural by featuring tabloid operas.
The Penner Aide
Of course, early on Sunday evenings we shall have Mr. Joe Penner back with us shortly, as a sort of relief from the classics. And Mr. Penner, according to hls own remark, will not be doing much, if any, talk about his duck. He intends being a bit more musical, and has a lot of original songs on hand.
These songs which Joe Penner sings have a peculiar fascination for a reverend gentleman in Highland, N.J. He is the Rev. Henry Scott Rubel, rector of Highland Episcopal Church. Most everybody knows that the Joe Penner songs are composed by a lad named Hal Raynor, who has been with Penner in Hollywood. But hardly anybody knows that this nimble-witted Mr. Raynor is back already from the film capital, and busy on another iob in Highland.
Well, to tell the truth, Mr. Hal Raynor is not exactly what he seems—and the Reverend Mr, Rubel knows Mr. Raynor's secret. I know it too, and here it is: Mr. Raynor, Mr. Penner's song writer is no other than the Reverend Mr. Rubel, and now the Highland Congregation knows why their rector went on that trip to Hollywood. It was to write a score of new songs for the former duck salesman.
Chicago Daily Tribune: Monday, September 17, 1934
News of the Radio Stations
By Larry Wolters
Ceremonies at Philadelphia celebrating the 147th anniversary of the signing of the constitution of the United States will be broadcast over the National and Columbia networks from 12:45 to 1:30 p.m. today. The exercises will include addresses by Col. Robert H. McCormick, publisher of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE; Edward A. Hayes. national commander of the American Legion, and Robert von Moschisken, former chief justice of the Pennsylvania Supreme court. Col. McCormick will speak from 1 to 1:15 o'clock. WMAQ and WBBM will carry the broadcast locally. Two other outstanding Constitution day broadcasts will be those by former United States Senator James A. Reed speaking at 9:30 tonight from the Fair over W·G·N and both networks, and former Secretary of the Treasury Ogden L. Mills speaking at 3:30 o'clock from New York over the chains.
Amos 'n' Andy will be back on the air after a vacation of two months at 6 o'clock tonight over WENR·NBC but up to last night they hadn't decided just what course their new script would take. They will settle all that at 1 o'clock this afternoon. Though they are planning to give the Fresh Air Taxicab company a rest they will always keep the old bus in the back yard so that it may be pressed into service in a jiffy, if necessary. Freeman Gosden [Amos] was wondering about those two broadcasts nightly. [They will be heard at both 6 and 10 p.m. over WENR this season.] “We'll have to make every show a good one," Gosden declared, “or the kids or the missus, catching us at 6 o'clock, will be telling the old man that he won't need to tune in at 10 that night."
Because of his simplicity, modesty, and personal charm Joe Penner made· a big hit in Hollywood this summer. the Rev. Henry S. Rubel, who as Hal Raynor, writes songs and jokes for Penner, declared yesterday, pausing in Chicago, on his way back to the east coast after a summer in the film center with the radio comedian. Penner is visiting his parents in Detroit this week, the Rev. Mr. Rubel stated, and will return to New York soon to complete plans for his return to the air Oct. 7. Penner's picture, “College Rhythm," also featuring Lanny Ross, Jack Oakie, and Lyda Roberti, will be released in about a month.
This is a photograph from the 4th and final round of the 2015 Mullingar Road League which was held in Belvedere House and Gardens, Mullingar, Co. Westmeath, Ireland on Wednesday 27th May 2015 at 20:00. The weather was perfect for running and racing again and gave bright sunshine with some breeze. The weather conditions were favourable for runners this evening. As this was the final night of a very successful league there were many category prizes up for grabs with runners having to ensure they ran their races to gain the required finish times for the overall calculations. There was a great atmosphere at the finish as spectators cheered on the runners. This year's 5KM is ran on a modified route based on the route from the last couple of years. The final 1KM is within the Belvedere Gardens bringing runners down to the lakeside for a second time and finishing along the aptly named Stream Of Life. The route modification means that the race offers a slightly faster route than the hill finish of previous years. In the prize giving and awards in Belvedere House Cafe there were refreshments served for runners and this brought the curtain down on the Road League for 2015.
The race is promoted by Mullingar Harriers for the Pat Finnerty Memorial Cup. Competitors need to run 3 races out of the 4 races in May (any order) to be considered in the overall placing in categories at the conclusion of the league. Runners can also choose to just run one race without being considered for the overall league placings. Over 330 people took part in tonight's event bring the total from the four nights to so far to well over 1,400 runners. As with all of the previous weeks the new finish area provided a nice space for runners to stay around and chat in the evening sunshine. The Mullingar Road League 2015 is now over but has continued successfully and looks to add to the success in the history of this great series. Despite the bright evenings the photographic conditions in Belevedere are difficult so this photograph is part of a smaller than usual photograph set as there were many blurred photographs this evening.
The "Road League" is something of a misnomer but is an indication of the League's origins on the roads around Ladestown Mullingar prior to it's move into Belvedere in 2008. The Road League is the envy of many other races in the country as the Belvedere locations offers a completely traffic free 5KM route.
We have an extensive set of photographs from tonight in the following Flickr Album: www.flickr.com/photos/peterm7/sets/72157653157747838

I want get full resolution, print-quality, copies of these photographs?
If you just need these photographs for online usage then they can be used directly once you respect their Creative Commons license and provide a link back to our Flickr set if you use them. For offline usage and printing all of the photographs posted here on this Flickr set are available free, at no cost, at full image resolution.
Please email petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com with the links to the photographs you would like to obtain a full resolution copy of. We also ask race organisers, media, etc to ask for permission before use of our images for flyers, posters, etc. We reserve the right to refuse a request.
In summary please remember when requesting photographs from us - If you are using the photographs online all we ask is for you to provide a link back to our Flickr set or Flickr pages. You will find the link above clearly outlined in the description text which accompanies this photograph. Taking these photographs and preparing them for online posting takes a significant effort and time. We are not posting photographs to Flickr for commercial reasons. If you really like what we do please spread the link around your social media, send us an email, leave a comment beside the photographs, send us a Flickr email, etc. If you are using the photographs in newspapers or magazines we ask that you mention where the original photograph came from.

If you feel that the photograph(s) you request are good enough that you would consider paying for their purchase from other photographic providers or in other circumstances we would suggest that you can provide a donation to any of the great charities in Ireland who do work for Cancer Care or Cancer Research in Ireland.
Let's get a bit technical: We use Creative Commons Licensing for these photographs
We use the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License for all our photographs here in this photograph set. What does this mean in reality?
The explaination is very simple.
Attribution- anyone using our photographs gives us an appropriate credit for it. This ensures that people aren't taking our photographs and passing them off as their own. This usually just mean putting a link to our photographs somewhere on your website, blog, or Facebook where other people can see it.
ShareAlike – anyone can use these photographs, and make changes if they like, or incorporate them into a bigger project, but they must make those changes available back to the community under the same terms.
Above all what Creative Commons aims to do is to encourage creative sharing. See some examples of Creative Commons photographs on Flickr: www.flickr.com/creativecommons/
I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably http://www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets

Richard Toner, principal, Toner Associates, delivered Simplifying the Complex: Performing Accurate Weight Distribution and Payload Calculations for Work Trucks on Tuesday, March 5.
Learn more about The Work Truck Show 2013 at www.ntea.com/worktruckshow .
I have done my calculations; I have taken existing data from the first child (abdominal girth; weight development) for empiric forecasts; I used non-linear, iterative complex calculation methods. They all led to the same result: The birth of our second son should have been this weekend.
Now it is Sunday evening and we are still waiting. The date of birth seems to be something completely illogical beyond any rationale. Will have to use my stoicism.
Fascinating.
And now honey: “Give birth and prosper!”
P.S.: Fascinated of my pointy ears but embarrassed to look closer. You don’t have to be.
Monday March 14, 2011.
Based on photo sampling calculations more than 1,680 people had gathered by 12:15pm in Spaight's Plaza for a UWM United rally. People voiced support for social justice issues threatened by Governor Walker's Agenda of stark cuts to public education and the middle class. Signs voiced support for a Recall Election of Republican State Senators, including Alberta Darling. Other sign holders and speakers voiced support for Solidarity of Workers, Teachers, Graduate Students, and Students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and candidates in an upcoming election on April 5th for Milwaukee County Supervisor, and for Wisconsin State Supreme Court. The Internet also made a brief, in person, humorous appearance.
Power is not taken by force alone—it is secured through strategy, patience, and precision. The weak react. The strong dictate the game.
A battlefield and a chessboard share the same fundamental truth: control the center, anticipate your opponent’s next three moves, and sacrifice without hesitation when it secures ultimate victory.
“Every decision is a step towards dominance. Every move a lesson in control.”
The following description taken from Sky&Telescope weekly update:
Senior research specialist Greg Leonard at Mt. Lemmon Observatory discovered the 19th-magnitude speck on January 3, 2021, exactly one year before perihelion. Orbital calculations revealed that the object had spent the last 35,000 years wending its way sunward after reaching aphelion at the chilling distance of around 3,500 a.u. Comet Leonard will pass nearest the Sun again on January 3, 2022, at 0.62 a.u. Two weeks before that on December 12th, it makes its closest approach to Earth at 34.9 million kilometers.
Magnitude estimates for comets are a little different than magnitude estimates for other celestial objects; for example, stars, planets, Moon, Sun. This description, taken from the web page "Light Curve of Hale-Bopp", makes these types of estimates much more clear:
General Concepts
The first step in obtaining a light curve of a comet is to obtain a series of estimates of the comet's brightness, the integrated brightness of the comet's head or coma. For relatively bright comets like Hale-Bopp, these estimates are typically made by (amateur) visual observers, who compare the comet's head to defocused stars of known brightness. The stars are defocused because the comet's head has size whereas, the stars are points of light. An observer defocuses the stars until they match the size of the comet's head. Then the relative brightness of the comet is determined by comparing the comet's brightness with the defocused comparison stars. The result is a magnitude estimate of the comet, the observed magnitude. [The brightness of stars is also expressed in magnitudes. The smaller the magnitude, the brighter the object. The brightest star in the sky, Sirius, is magnitude -1.5. Polaris, the pole star is about magnitude 2. Jupiter is about -2, and the faintest stars that can typically be seen with the naked eye (in very dark skies away from the city) are roughly magnitude 6-7. In contrast, the full Moon is about magnitude -13 and the Sun is approximately -26! A one magnitude change amounts to a factor of 2.5 in brightness. A five magnitude change is a factor of 100 in brightness.
A comet's brightness variation with respect to its distance from the Sun is often represented by a "power-law" formula:
observed magnitude = absolute magnitude + 5 log (delta) + 2.5 n log (r)
where delta is the Earth-comet (geocentric) distance in astronomical units (AU), r is the Sun-comet (heliocentric) distance in AU and n is the "power-law exponent." One AU is equal to the Earth-Sun distance - about 93 million miles or 150 million kilometers. In this equation:
The observed magnitude is what one sees when observing the comet from Earth.
The absolute magnitude is a quantity that is suppose to tell us something about the intrinsic brightness of the comet. For Hale-Bopp this number indicates an intrinsically bright comet. Unfortunately, this parameter really isn't absolute...it can change during the apparition. (In fact it has already changed during the apparition.)
The 5 log (delta) part of the equation takes into account how the comet's brightness changes with changing Earth-comet distance (delta). This assumes an inverse-squared relationship. That is, if the distance between the Earth and comet increases by a factor of 2, the brightness will decrease by a factor of (2) squared or four. A factor of 3 in distance results in a change of 9 times in brightness. This is a basic property of all light sources.
The last term, 2.5 n log (r), represents the change in brightness due to the comet's changing Sun-comet distance. If the comet's brightness varied by pure reflection, n=2 and thus, 5 log (r) or the inverse-power relationship. However, comets produce both dust and gas, thus providing more stuff to reflect light. Also, the Sun causes the gas to fluoresce. Because of this, a comet's brightness typically changes more rapidly with changing Sun-comet distance. The value of n defines how rapid this change is. For n=4, an overall average for comets, reducing the Sun-comet distance by a factor of 2 increases the brightness by 16 times (compared with the four times for pure reflection).
The two terms of most interest are the absolute magnitude and n. They determine the intrinsic variation of a comet's brightness.
Magnitude estimates at this time put this comet at ~+12.2. I took no defocused images of surrounding stars and made an attempt to calculate the magnitude of this comet myself. I'll take their word for it concerning magnitude estimates. Besides, this would require effort. Guys, you know me, I try not to do anything that requires effort.
I took this image at around 06:30 from the Driveway Observatory in St. George, Utah. I'll keep watching this one.
Slow shutter shot at one of a not so famous river in Hulu Langat, Selangor. "Sungai" means river while "congkak" is a traditional folks' game. Not sure how the river got its name, but it is a very beautiful and attractive spot for relaxing and feeling closer to nature.
What is CONGKAK?
The word congkak is believed to originate from old Malay "congak", meaning "mental calculation" which is mainly practiced in this game. It is regarded that an efficient player who mentally calculates a few steps in advance will have an advantage in collecting points to win the game.
The word congkak or congklak also means cowrie shells, used in the game.
The History of CONGKAK
The oldest mancala game boards were found in a ruined fort of Roman Egypt and date back to the 4th century AD. The game was likely introduced to Southeast Asia by Indian or Arab traders in the 15th century.
It is believed to have spread throughout Malay world through merchants via Malacca, an important trading post at that time. In the early days, it was thought that this game was for the king and family and palace residents, however later it spread to the general population of the kingdom. Beside the Malays, the Indian Peranakan also enjoy playing Congkak.
In Java, the term "dakon stone" refers to the similarly pitmarked stones from the bronze-iron age period of Indonesia. These stones have rows of 4 or 5 cup-shaped holes and two holes at each end, a formation which has much in common with that of the similarly named game in Java. This prehistoric dakon stones is unrelated to the game and were probably employed in ceremonies to propitiate ancestors. Such stones can be found around Java.
The current Malaysian Ringgit 10 sen coin has a Congkak board on the reverse in recognition of the long history of congkak in Malaysia.
How it is played?
The Congkak board has fourteen holes in two sets of seven (some have ten holes in two sets of five, some have eighteen holes in two sets of nine), plus an additional bigger store-hole for each player. Each player controls the seven holes on their side of the board, and their score is the number of seeds in their left-hand store. In Indonesia, the holes are called anak ("child"), while the larger store holes are called indung ("mother").
A total of 98 pieces are used in the two sets of seven board version. In Southeast Asia, cowrie shells and tamarind seeds are the most common.[9] Seven seeds are placed in each hole except for the players' store. The objective of the game is to capture more seeds than one's opponent.
Players take turns moving the seeds except in the first move which is performed simultaneously, beginning with the hole closest to his/her own store. After this first simultaneous movement, once the last seed falls into an empty hole, the players' first turn is over and the opponent of the player who reached an empty hole first commences his/her turn after the other player has finished his opening move too. On a turn, a player chooses one of the seven holes under their control. The player removes all seeds from this hole, and distributes them in each hole clockwise[10] from this hole, in a process called sowing. Sowing skips an opponent's store, but does not skip a player's own store.
If a player is unable to fill a hole with seven seeds that hole is considered sunog ("burnt"); all excess seeds are returned to the store. The round begins with the player with no sunog holes taking his/her turn sowing first.
If the last seed falls into an occupied hole, all the seeds are removed from that hole, and are sown starting from that hole. The process continues until the last seed falls into a player's store, or an empty hole.
If the last seed sown falls into a player's own store, they immediately earn another turn, which can begin at any of the seven holes under their control.
The game ends, when a player has no seeds in his holes at the start of his turn. The remaining seeds are awarded to his opponent.
The objective of the game is to capture more seeds than one's opponent.

Description: The calculation of the minimum distance between surfaces plays an important role in computational mechanics, namely, in the study of mechanisms composed by rigid parts modeled as (super)ellipsoidal surfaces. Computing the minimum distance between convex surfaces is crucial to determine if the rigid objects of a mechanism are in contact among themselves or with the surrounding environment. The exhibited equations formulate the geometric conditions that characterize the pair of points which declare the minimum distance between surfaces. Such points share a common normal vector. The proposed mathematical framework to solve the minimum distance problem relies on simple algebraic and differential geometry, vector calculus, and on the C2 continuous implicit representations of the surfaces. The employed methodology establishes a set of collinear and orthogonal constraints between vectors defining the contacting surfaces that, allied with loci constraints. Several examples are represented for both ellipsoids (central image, top row) and superellipsoids (central image, bottom row).

Based on photo sampling calculations more than 1,680 people had gathered by 12:15pm in Spaight's Plaza for a UWM United rally. People voiced support for social justice issues threatened by Governor Walker's Agenda of stark cuts to public education and the middle class. Signs voiced support for a Recall Election of Republican State Senators, including Alberta Darling. Other sign holders and speakers voiced support for Solidarity of Workers, Teachers, Graduate Students, and Students at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and candidates in an upcoming election on April 5th for Milwaukee County Supervisor, and for Wisconsin State Supreme Court. The Internet also made a brief, in person, humorous appearance.
Plastic Fantastic Fun. For when I want to shoot film and not think about "calculations". It leaves you thinking "That was easy."
I love the battery grip and it's super light weight. With the nifty fifty (a lens that felt lost amongst my canon digitals) attached this thing is a featherweight "full framer", no crop factor here. My only peeve is that the focus points are thin and do not light to indicate focus lock. It's a great camera and the antithesis of the experience from a Pentax Spotmatic, Vivitar 220SL or Yashica TL-Electro.
