_______ "WHY ARE WE DOING THIS"______
Please understand that this certificate is part of a work of appreciation that we do together, my wife and I.
The photos that I choose, enter into a photographic quality analysis within the different modalities and if they are artistically fit within what is "photography".
"My wife's job is to analyze the effect of
the so-called visual balance and the process of psychic acceptance within the natural phenomena of consciousness. "
"My job is to analyze the quality of photography, its framing, dynamics, artistic style, perspective, color balance, light compensation and especially the edition that plays an important role."
* (This is to give you some kind of appreciative motivation in your photographs, "something that I consider of great value for everyone who receives a certificate"
This critical work that we do in private and without attacking the sensitivity of people, is done between my wife and me.
We are based on an emotional motivation and of course without any kind of monetary interest or recognition.) *

Not exactly proving its environmental efficiency, DB Schenker Class 66, 66115, kicks out some smoke as accelerates away from a brief stop at Peterborough while working the Middleton Towers to Arpley Sidings loaded stone train. On this particular day I passed this train three times, the first when it was waiting for my Class 170 to overtake it at Ely, the second here at Peterborough, and the third time at Leicester as it awaited my Class 170 to overtake it again!
One of Britain's, and indeed Europe's, most numerous diesel locomotives, the Class 66 has become the face of nearly every freight operating rail company on the UK network, a simple, utilitarian design with an enormous, powerful engine. But with it's popularity among rail companies came a price, as it is often listed as one of the most hated locomotives ever to hit the UK rails, largely because of the slew of older BR classic locomotives it replaced from the late 1990's onward.
But is it really deserving of such a bum rap?
By the mid-1990's it was apparent that a majority of the ex-British Rail locomotives were well beyond their bloom of youth. Aside from the Class 58's of 1983, the Class 60's of 1989, and the American built Class 59's of 1985, most locomotives in the service of freight companies were coming up to 30 or 40 years old, and reliability was a major issue. Years of under-investment in the BR freight sector Railfreight Distribution, had resulted in a fleet comprised of decrepit diesels such as the Class 37's and Class 47's, being worked into the ground to keep the company rolling. Although the opening of the Channel Tunnel in 1994 was a catalyst to investments for freight trains working those particular trunk routes to the South East, with the construction of the Class 92's and the refurbishment of Wembley based Class 47's, the remainder of the freight operators, by this time led by shadow franchises Loadhaul, Transrail and Mainline, were left with a fleet that was slowly dying before their eyes. Class 47's, especially, needed a major overhaul every seven years, costing £400,000; yet had an average daily availability of less than 65% with only 16 days between major failures.
Enter Wisconsin Central, who, in 1996, bought the three franchises together with Railfreight Distribution and mail operator Rail Express Systems to create EWS, or English, Welsh & Scottish Railways. As part of the franchise commitment, the intention was to replace the ageing diesel fleet with a standard design that would reduce maintenance and operating costs substantially, with higher levels of reliability and efficiency. Looking at the fleet of diesels in general, it was noted that among the most reliable classes in the UK were the small fleet of 15 Class 59's, built by General Motors between 1985 and 1995 for private Aggregate operators such as Foster Yeoman and Hanson, as well as energy company National Power for the haulage of their coal trains between Collieries and Power Stations. These engines were, for the most part, substantially younger than the likes of the Class 20's, 31's, 37's and 47's, and more reliable than the early built Class 56's from Romania, which were infamous for their poor build quality.
Seeing their success, EWS placed an order in 1997 for 250 locomotives based on similar principles to that of the Class 59, often dubbed one of the biggest locomotive orders since the age of Steam. Locomotives were built at GM's factory in London, Ontario, and externally the bodyshell and design shared that with the Class 59. Internally though, the engines took many of GM's previous developments and updated the engine and traction motors to enable higher speeds. The new locomotive was fitted with the 20 year old design of the EMD 710 12-cylinder diesel engine, found originally in the GP60 freight locomotives of North America. However, some of GM's newer creations also made it into the mix, such as updated cab-control systems, the kind found in the Irish Railways Class 201 of 1994.
Originally designated Class 61, the first of these new locomotives arrived by boat at Immingham in June 1998, prior to proving tests at Derby. The locomotives then shipped at a rate of 11 per month into the UK via Newport Docks, until the order was completed in December 2001. After unloading, EWS engineers then simply took off the tarpaulin, unblocked the suspension, and finally as each was shipped with water and fuel, hooked up the batteries, before starting the engine and handing the locomotive into service. Almost immediately, other UK freight operators took interest in the Class, and operators such as Freightliner, GB Railfreight and Direct Rail Services also placed orders for the class.
Upon their introduction, reliability levels for EWS's operations improved substantially. Each locomotive is specified and guaranteed to 95% availability, aiming for a minimum of 180 days mean time between failures. It is designed to cover 1·6million km between major rebuilds, equivalent to 18 years' service, with each major rebuild costed at £200,000. But with their success came the sad reality that the much loved classes of yesteryear were going to be given the push, and this is where a majority of the Class 66's unpopularity comes from. It could have been understood the replacement of the 40 year old Class 20's, 31's, 37's and 47's, as it was quite clear they were past their prime, the same could equally be said for some of the earlier Class 56's of the late 1970's. However, the line was stepped across with the withdrawal of the Class 58's and Class 60's, as the desire of EWS to have a standardised fleet, resulted in the removal of locomotives that were nowhere near life-expired. The large-scale retirement of these extremely reliable and powerful locomotives that weren't even 20 years old was seen as a travesty, and whilst some Class 60's have seen a revival with other operators as of late, the Class 58's are all but extinct, whilst many Class 60's continue to languish in yards across the UK, mostly at Toton in the East Midlands.
Nevertheless, the class continued to grow over the years, and, upon the conclusion of Class 66 production in the UK in 2014, 446 of the class were eventually built. But we can't forget also that the class has seen major success across Europe as well, with dozens of engines in operation in Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, and Poland, with certification pending in the Czech Republic and Italy.
Today, a majority of the class is still in service with a variety of operators. DB Schenker, the successor to EWS, continues to operate the largest fleet of 249 locomotives. Freightliner operates 141, DRS operates 19, GBRf operates 72 and Colas Rail operates 5. Not all of the locomotives however remain with us, as three have been written off.
The first was 66521 on the 28th February, 2001, where after hitting a Land Rover that had fallen down an embankment from the M62 motorway, a southbound GNER InterCity 225 set led by lightweight Class 82 DVT, 82221, derailed and ran straight into the path of the oncoming Class 66 which was working a northbound coal train. With an estimated closing speed of 142mph, the DVT was obliterated upon hitting the Class 66, and the freight locomotive was mangled and distorted as it was crushed between its loaded coal train behind and the passenger coaches in front. In the disaster, 10 people were killed, including 66521's driver Stephen Dunn, although his instructor Andrew Hill, who was also riding in the cab, was able to survive. The locomotive however was for the most part destroyed, and scrapped later that year.
The second was on the 4th January, 2010 involving 66048, which derailed at Carrbridge in snowy weather. Coming down the Highland Mainline with a loaded container train, it passed a signal at danger and was derailed at trap points, subsequently falling down an embankment into trees and injuring the two crew members.
The third was on the 28th June 2012, where GBRf 66734 derailed at Loch Treig whilst working Alcan Tanks. The inability of recovery crews to access the highly remote and dangerous location resulted in the engine being cut-up on site.
Additionally, many Class 66's have suffered low-speed collisions and derailments, either through faults in the track, driver error, or faults with the rolling stock.
However, despite the criticism, and often being dubbed as bland and utilitarian, the Class 66 is still a major part of the UK freight network, working behind the scenes without need of major attention so as to get the job done. Indeed it may find a home among rail enthusiasts, and perhaps one day it'll be dubbed a classic like the Class 37's and 47's it replaced, but at the moment it's the UK networks humble hero, plying its trade the best way it knows how.
Volunteers help community smile
By Sgt. 1st Class Jeff Troth

CAMP CASEY, South Korea – For most volunteers in Korea, when they return to the states they will have the satisfaction of knowing they helped others in their community and may have been formally recognized for it.
But, for three Area I volunteers, they will take with them a new-found skill set they can use the rest of their lives.
They have just completed the American Red Cross Dental Assistant Education Program at the Camp Casey Dental Clinic Aug. 3. In January, when the clinic announced that they were offering the program for a second time more than 40 volunteers applied. Six were chosen and only three successfully completed the 100 hours of classroom study and the minimum 500 hours of clinical work.
“During their past six months of volunteering, they have worked hard,” said Dr. (Capt.) Francis Nahm, a dentist at the clinic and the education program director.
“It was a lot of information combined into a few weeks,” said Jessica Medlin, one of the three graduates who had almost 550 volunteer hours in the clinic. “It was kind of nerve racking having to go home and study and try to remember all of this information that they have given you. But it ended up being very easy by how they taught it.”
Their first two weeks in the program are spent immersed in classes on basic anatomy, medical terminology and health care ethics, as well as general dentistry and dentistry instrument layouts.
“In the 100 hours they have to learn, memorize and understand the physiology and bio chemistry of the body,” said Nahm. “Then they move onto dental, the oral facial area, then they go to the teeth and then the gum. There is a lot of terminology, just terminology after terminology for them to learn.”
“When we first started the class I didn’t know how I was going to remember it all, but they showed us diagrams of the teeth and other stuff and eventually it just clicked,” said Cimone Langley-Hopkins, who had been studying criminology at California State University, Fresno, prior to coming to Korea. She thought that this program could help in the forensic field if teeth impressions were needed to identify a criminal.
“It was a good thing having the doctors as our instructors, because this is their job and they know everything,” said Langley-Hopkins, whose husband, Pfc. Alexander Hopkins is in Company C, 3rd Battalion, 37th Field Artillery Regiment, 210th Fires Brigade. “Anytime we didn’t understand something in the book they would take us into the operatory and show us there.”
Once the volunteers passed the classroom final exam they moved to the operatory, for the observation portion of the program. During this time they watched the actions of and assisted an already qualified dental assistant. Once the doctors were satisfied with the volunteers’ work, they became the primary assistant and participated in everything from dental exams to oral surgery.
“Although they are volunteers, they are considered part of our team,” said Nahm. He said that since the volunteers are not pulled from the clinic for other tasks as military dental assistants are, the clinic is able to continue to see patients, which is a benefit for the clinic and Area I.
The benefits for the volunteer students are numerous. One is the cost. The Camp Casey program is free; a similar program taught at a civilian facility would cost $6,000 to $8,000 according to Nahm. Another benefit for them is the certificate they received upon completion of the program.
“When they finish we validate their total hours with the Red Cross,” said Nahm. “That certificate is honored as a dental assistant certificate and is transferable to a civilian certificate.”
Medlin, Langley-Hopkins and Hui Gibbs (who graduated early when her husband who was a contractor left Korea) are looking forward to getting jobs in a dental clinic when they return stateside.
Medlin knows that having the specialized skills of a dental assistant will give her job opportunities when she follows her husband, Pfc. Daniel Medlin, of Company B, 304th Signal Battalion, to Fort Huachuca, Ariz., this fall. While in Arizona she plans on getting an associate degree in health care management so that one day she can be a clinic’s head dental assistant.
“I still want to pursue my degree in the criminal justice field,” said Langley-Hopkins, who finished the program with over 600 volunteer hours. “But for right now the career path that I have decided to take is in the dental field.”
Critique welcome.
This is an old stock certificate to an energy company. I saw it for sale in a antique mall on a road trip. It seemed good for the theme.

mais qui est considéré par le milieu de l’art peu regardant, comme un collectionneur "honorable" et en tout cas honoré.
Dans ce qu’il a nommé "La salle Russe" du Pavillon il espose cette fresque entourée d'une installation de coupons et certificats provenant d’oligarques russes, auto-intitulés "collectionneurs" d’art.
ENGLISH :
Here is this artwork :"We Sit Starving Amidst Our Gold". It is a large fresco involving the Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich, whose fortune like all the oligarchs under Putin (and Putin himself), has a more than dubious origin, but is considered, by the world of unscrupulous art, as "honorable" collector and certainly honored.In what he called "The Russian room" of the Pavilion, it espose this fresco surrounded by installation of coupons and certificates from Russian oligarchs, self-titled "collectors" of art.
Old American paper money. Dinero is the Spanish word for money, derived from the Arabic dinar, which in turn derived from the Latin denarius.
Pretty good gimick i think. Giving you the "free" money of Kohls bucks from a prior purchase, and having to spend it before a certain date. Cant ever let the certificate expire, even if you don't really need anything!
I don't have much in the way of service history with my Rover, but pleasingly I do have every MOT certificate from it's first one which was done in February 2000, 18 months after the car was first registered, but 5 years after it was actually made.
It appears to have done between 12-17k per year between 2000 and 2005, and then the mileage seems to fall every year thereafter. It's only done 12k miles in the past 10 years.
The Tax discs seem to indicate that the car spent the first 9 or so years in/around the Birmingham area, before heading north to Durham in late 2007, where it has remained until yesterday when I brought it back down the country slightly to Lancashire.

Deboxing my pre-ordered Anna Limited Edition DVD Doll (that is the name of the doll on my Disney Store receipts). First the front cover is removed, revealing the clear plastic front of the inner box. The Certificate of Authenticity is below the plastic cover. She is #3923 of 5000. Then the plastic cover is removed, and the back outer cover is removed. What remains is the cardboard backing to which the doll is still attached. She is now in clear view from three sides.
I just got my pre-ordered Anna and Elsa Limited Edition dolls from my local Disney Store. I also got my pre-ordered Frozen Blu-ray/DVD movie combo. They had very few other Frozen items for sale, the male dolls (Classic Hans and Kristoff, and plush Kristoff) and the plush Anna and Elsa dolls. No girl's Anna or Elsa costumes, Classic Anna or Elsa dolls, or baby Sven. There were perhaps 50 people lined up in front of the entrance before the store opened at 10 am. I also got a second pre-ordered Anna from another local store today. I will take detailed photos of all my dolls, boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed.

Priceless memories start here...
I recently completed some work for an awards program. I have done this for the past few years. While it is a great deal of effort, it is rewarding for me as a designer. This years program consisted of
-Nominations Posters
-Nominees Posters
-Nomination Tent Cards
-Awards Certificates
-Invitations
-Web graphics (not shown)
-Web based form (not shown)
Each of the certificates has custom calligraphy completed with my new Designer Type that I plan to offer commercially. I was quite please with the outcome this year. The print centre did an amazing job. I think the graphic design adds a great deal of class to the awards program. I think it is important that when you receive an award it should be a quality award. And the custom calligraphy really adds a personal touch.
The design did change moderately from last year. As a result I had to make some adjustments, but I was able to carry the logo and star identity throughout the design process. I like the white on black look as it adds a great element of class, formality, and elegance.
Connect with me if you are in need of graphic design for a corporate awards program, business logo design or other.
Cheers
Steve

Galong. The amazing story of Galong begins with Ned (Edward) Ryan one of the 14 convicted Irishmen transported to Sydney for attacking the infirmary in Clonoulty Tipperary in 1815. Ryan was assigned to an Irish ex-convict James Meehan who had been emancipated in 1805 and who had become a land owner himself. Ryan spent most of his time from 1816 to 1825 assigned to Meehan who had land near Goulburn. Ned received his ticket-of-leave (like parole) in 1825 as he was sentenced to 14 years imprisonment. He stayed on as a property manager for James Meehan’s son near Goulburn. Ned received his certificate of freedom in 1830 and it is displayed in the Redemptorist monastery. Ned immediately applied for a free land grant which was refused despite his good record. At that time he was “officially” squatting on 50 acres of Crown land with 50 head of cattle but the reality was Ned Ryan had begun squatting on land at Galong in 1825 when he received his ticket-of-leave. He was an industrious and ambitious man. To work his Galong property Ned Ryan asked for 15 assigned convicts in 1832 and was granted seven. He received a further six assigned convicts in 1833 from the convict station at Goulburn. In 1835 Ryan squatted on more land between Galong and Cootamundra and towards Temora totalling 100,000 acres. In January 1837 Ned Ryan became one of the first squatters to pay the fee to have an occupation licence. By 1840 when transportation to NSW and the usage of assigned convicts finished some 62 people were resident on Ryan’s Galong property. He had given up his Wallendbeen and Cootamundra runs but he still had an extensive leasehold. In 1844 a run was determined by the government according to the number of sheep and cattle it could depasture so Ned Ryan then had four runs. Ned later had 14 year leases on five runs near Galong. Boorowa and Wallendbeen and on his Galong run he built a solid stone homestead. Ryan established one of the first Catholic cemeteries in NSW in 1838 near his homestead at Galong. In the 1840s and 1850s Galong House, later Galong Castle was renowned for its hospitality, especially to swaggies. They were provided bedding for the night and they left with generous supples of meat, flour, sugar and tea. Ryan’s son John Nagle and daughter Anastasia in Ireland moved to Galong in 1848 and their mother sometime after that. It is said that Ned had a “de facto” wife in NSW who was despatched from the property when his Irish wife arrived. Ellen Ryan died in 1856. In that year Ryan purchased 640 acres around his homestead as freehold and in 1860 he added another section to his original stone house which had walls up to two feet thick. Ryan’s Galong station comprised 41,000 acres in 1866 but he gradually transferred most of his lands to his son John Nagle Ryan and some to John Donnelly. Edward Ryan died at Galong in 1871. His son John Nagle Ryan died at Boorowa in 1888. In his will he left Galong Castle to his sister Anastasia during her lifetime. She lived with some of her Ryan cousins at Galong. It was she who had the chapel built with a priest’s room at Galong Castle in 1889. After Anastasia’s death in 1900 the Galong property of 800 acres was left to the Cistercians in Ireland or if they declined to accept to the Redemptorists in NSW. The Cistercians refused the offer of Galong Castle but the Redemptorists eventually accepted it. Anastasia’s cousin Anastasia Barry Ryan continued to reside in Galong Castle. After she died in 1914 the Redemptorists were more interested in the property. The foundation stone of the new Redemptorist monastery and boys college was laid in 1917 with its opening in 1918. The college and monastery closed in 1975 but it still operates today as a retreat and conference centre.
Galong cemetery contains many early Catholic pastoral families and the headstones of the Ryan family are especially impressive. The children of Ned Ryan had statues carved in marble by noted Italian sculpture Rusconi of Gundagai. (He built the base of the Dog on the Tucker Box and built a 21,000 piece marble masterpiece in Gundagai.) Each headstone cost around £1,000. The cemetery contains the grave of Roger Corcoran, a first cousin of Ned Ryan, who was transported with him to Sydney in 1816. Corcoran settled nearer Boorowa. Corcoran is regarded as the first settler of Galong followed by Ryan whom he invited to settle there. Rusconi headstones were erected over the graves of Anastasia Barry Ryan and her brother Michael Lawrence Ryan the last of the family to live in Galong Castle. In the village of Galong the Catholics established a church, a convent and St Lawrence’s Nursing Home in the 1920s. It is now vacant and deserted with ideas of a drug rehabilitation centre to be established there.

The Limited Edition Elsa Doll, released in stores in North America on March 3, 2015. My doll is #2942 of 5000. She is in jeweled purple felt (made from faux wool). This is the outfit she wore as an 18 year old when saying good bye to her parents before their overseas journey. She is wearing ice blue jeweled satin gloves, which help repress her ice powers. Her hands are clasped together. Her pose and look are that of a sternly repressed nature. She is standing in front a purple window of the Castle, which is closed, as she is closed to the outside world.
She is wearing black flats with floral decoration. Her jacket is pinned to her dress, which I left alone, as it helps to keep the jacket from opening up. There was a large amount of tissue paper stuffing under her skirt. I had to remove her from the doll stand before I could remove the tissue.
She has shiny pearlescent skin, and her skin tone is between that of Coronation Elsa and Snow Queen Elsa. Her hair is slicked down in the front and is in a bun in the back. There is gold tinsel in her hair, even in her side burns.

Although Ferdinand Porsche had established his automotive design consultancy in the early 1930s, his name would not appear on a car until 1949. When it did, it graced one of the all-time great sports cars - the Porsche 356. A cabriolet followed hot on the heels of the original 356 coupé, and then in 1952 a trial batch of 15 roadsters was constructed at the behest of US importer, Max Hoffman, who had persuaded Porsche of the potential for a 'cut-price' entry-level model. The roadsters' successful reception in the USA led to the introduction of the Speedster model in 1954.
Instantly recognisable by virtue of its low, wraparound - as opposed to V-shaped - windscreen, smaller and entirely retractable hood, lower door waistline, horizontal trim strip at the level of the door handles, and twin bucket seats - all of which served to emphasise its sporting image - the Speedster was, in effect, an 'economy' model intended to compete with the cheaper British sports cars. The Speedster was powered initially by the 1.5-litre version of Porsche's horizontally opposed four, gaining the new 1.6-litre, 60 bhp engine with the introduction of the improved 356A for 1955. Priced at $ 2.995, the Speedster was the lightest of the 356s, enjoying a commensurate performance boost that meant over 100mph was possible. Allied to its already renowned handling characteristics, this meant that the Speedster was an instant success in the burgeoning American sports car racing scene.
Testing the Speedster alongside its Coupé sibling in 1956, Road & Track magazine reckoned, 'A more comfortable sports car for long, high-speed journeys would be very hard to find and certainly no other car achieves the combination of comfort, performance and fuel economy of the Porsche Continental Speedster or Coupé.' Its combination of style, performance and value for money made the Speedster deservedly popular - 4.822 examples being constructed between 1954 and '58 - and today this most handsome of the 356 variants enjoys iconic status.
One of 1.166 Porsche 356A Speedsters produced in 1957, '83832' was delivered new to the USA, as were most Speedsters. Its history is unknown prior to 2007 when the car belonged to Mr Dan Carter. He maintained the Porsche carefully, as evidenced by numerous invoices for work carried out, many issued by the well-known specialists, European Collectibles in Costa Mesa, California. Works undertaken include overhauling the gearbox and renewing the braking system, the latter being done in 2009.
Recently brought from the USA to Belgium, the Speedster was in very good condition but with the incorrect colour combination of silver with blue interior. The current owner recently re-sprayed the car in its correct and original Meissen Blue, while the upholstery was re-trimmed in the correct red as per the accompanying Porsche Certificate of Authenticity. These works were carried out to the highest standards (invoices on file). In addition, European-specification headlights were installed, a new soft-top fitted, and the USA-specification over-rider bumpers removed. New wheels were fitted to replace the incorrect-size ones the car came with.
The Speedster has a non-matching 1600 Super engine of the same year; it produces 75bhp instead of the original unit's 60 horsepower, making this car even more enjoyable to drive, while the electrical system has been upgraded to 12 volts for improved reliability. Coupé seats are sometimes fitted to Speedsters, but this car has the Speedster type preferred by most enthusiasts. Accompanying documentation consists of a nice file containing numerous invoices, the old US title, and the aforementioned Porsche CoA, etc.
