It was a cold and very windy day in the early may 2017. I was already a little bit tired as I opened the door from the bridge to get out to the bridge wing of our 396m long ship. And then I stand over there, 50 meters about the water and watching always the same procedure: One container went from board, another one came to us...
After the ultra large Containervessel was moored at the Rotterdam World Gate in Maasvlakte II/Rotterdam, the un-/loaging started. The huge gantry cranes picked the Containers, one after another... Every minute a crane took another Container from the ship. Up to seven gantry cranes worked together ton unload and load our vessel.
During that, other works are done alongside the ship: We got new fuel, new provisions and our waste was taken.
Also at night, the gantry cranes worked on. The sound of the rumbling crane trolley, the warning- and alarm sounds, the noise of slapping steel on each other then a new steel box get on board... all this continue all night.
Es war ein kühler und sehr windiger Tag im frühen Mai 2017, als ich die Tür der Brücke öffnete. Mit meiner Kamera und Stativ bewaffnet betrat ich die Brückennock. Und dann stand ich da, 50m über dem Wasser mitten in der Nacht am Rotterdam Word Gate, wo unser 396m langes Containerschiff "CMA CGM Alexander von Humboldt" be- und entladen wurde.
Im Minuten Takt flogen unaufhaltsam die Metallboxen vom Schiff oder umgekehrt. Seit wir festgemacht hatten sind bereits einige Stunden vergangen. Auch mitten in der Nacht ging es ununterbrochen weiter: Die Alarmtöne grillten schrill in der Nacht, das unaufhaltsame Poltern der gigantischen Laufkatzen in 50m Höhe und das stetige rumpeln von Stahl auf Stahl, wenn wieder eine Kiste auf unser Schiff gebracht wurde. Manchmal bebte das ganze Schiff sogar dabei.
Die Liegezeit im Hafen von Rotterdam wurde auch genutzt um as Schiff zu versorgen mit Treibstoffen und Proviant sowie mit der Entsorgung von Abfällen.
Nach zwei Stunden ging ich dann wieder in das Schiff auf meine Kammer. Ein langer Tag war wieder zu Ende und bereits am nächsten Tag ging es weiter.... nach Frankreich, Le Havre. Wo der ganze Spass von vorne beginnt. Jeden Tag der selbe Ablauf, aber doch immer ein wenig anders...

The New Brickikan born Johannes Smuts first entered a tank shortly before the "Destructions of the 12 Colonies war", and from then on he would know no other home. During the war he served in both the Allied Army (under General George S. McFatton) in Deland and the Republikan Army in Bolindia, during which he compiled an excellent combat record, a number of medals, and extensive experience as a tank commander. After the war he migrated between various military positions around the world, with a notable career with the Briolui Defense Force, and otherwise working for whoever paid him and put him in command on the front line. It was in 1985, while working in Briolui, that he was paired with an M5 Olifant. One of his jealous superiors thought it would be funny to give their boisterous New Brickikan commander a New Brickikan tank. But Smuts became attached, and would remain with this tank for the rest of his life, even refusing to upgrade to any of the newer vehicles entering the Defense Force. He ultimately left the BDF in 1990, refusing the grand ceremonial honours offered to him by the Brioluian government, but requested that he could take his tank with him. From there he found employment in the Coalition to Restore the Republic in New Brickika (or The Rebellion), and gained heavy experience as a guerilla fighter in the "Bush Wars" of 1995-99 in Nak Hu. During this time he had the tank extensively modified. Aside from flattening the hull, near completely replacing the turret and installing a more powerful (but fuel hungry) engine, the additions included a new 125mm smoothbore gun, a self-entrenching blade, "Bear Claw" mine plows, a comfortable new interior and a variety of other things most tankers only dream of. He also found it a name; "Old Mud and Rust", joking about the filthy, dilapidated appearance of the aging tank. But man and vehicle were so inseparable that his men soon swapped them around, whereupon he became Old Mud and Rust and the tank became General Smuts. And together, they are Old Mud and Smuts. After recovering from a busted hip bone he had himself, and his tank, smuggled out of New Brickika, and retired to Plantasea. His peace didn't last long, as the Plantasean Armored Command bribed him out of retirement with a hefty new salary, and he commanded an armour force with distinction for the duration of the war in Filace and Xenor

Brief history of the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel
Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel has gone through many name changes and renovations all under just a few ownership changes. The Adams Hotel was demolished in 1973 to make room for the new $27 million Adams Hotel. It was developed and constructed on the site of the previous Adams Hotel in a combined venture of PIC Realty and the Vita Cos owned by Phoenix lawyer Albert B. Spector Sr.
It was designed by the firm of Schwenn & Clark and is most noted for its hundreds of eyebrow windows over a line of three-story arches at the base level. Its iconic curved windows block out up to 70% of the heat from the sun.
Ralph Hitz Jr., the former Managing Director of the Hotel Muehlebach in Kansas City, Mo was the first general manager of the new Adams Hotel. Hitz thought things were not what they used to be at the 700-room Muehlbach which was slipping into shoddiness. Back in the 30's and 40's, the Muehlebach was the center of action in Kansas City. The last hotel Hitz managed before his retirement in 1994 was the Crowne Plaza in downtown Kansas City Missouri. He died in 1998. Andee Mena was the Adams Hotel opening Chef, he came from Chicago's Continental Plaza Hotel.
Seven months after the 538-room Adams Hotel opened in 1975, the Vita Cos. filed for protection from creditors in Bankruptcy Court and the hotel was placed in receivership. The court appointed receiver was Ed Caliendo and Daniel J. Palaschak the general manager. The primary creditor of the Adams Hotel was Prudential with a mortgage lien of $15.4 million plus accrued interest. Spector Sr. was in a perilous financial condition at the time and entered into a $1 million transaction with PIC Realty Corp (Prudential). The deal was to provide some immediate cash for the cash flow problems at the new hotel. Prudential claimed the $1 million dollar transaction represented a purchase of Spector Sr.'s equity in the hotel. In August 1976 the court voided the equity transfer between PIC Realty (Prudential) and Spector Sr. but the bankruptcy hearings continued for over 5 years. In 1980 a $33 million dollar offer for the hotel was scuttled due to the bankruptcy. The prospective New York buyers were Jason Jacobs, of Delsu Financial Corporation, and Charles Allen of Allen and Co.
Some five years later PIC Realty became sole owner of the hotel in Feb 1981 at the conclusion of the bankruptcy of the Vita Cos. The settlement provided $1.8 million in payments to 141 creditors and a $290,000 payment to the Vita Cos. At that time PIC Realty signed Hilton Hotel Corporation to a 25-year contract and implemented the name change from Adams Hotel to the Phoenix Hilton. Hilton brought in Andre Schaefer from the Anchorage Westward Hilton to be the general manager. Hilton Hotels Corp would spend $4 million on a 2 year upgrade program. The hotel's food and beverage outlets, the Old Bar lounge, the Citrus Grove restaurant and the Sandpaper restaurant were re-done along with the public areas, meeting rooms and guest rooms.
Albert B. Spector Sr. died May, 1980 at his apartment at the Arizona Biltmore Estates at the age of 65. His company purchased the Adams Hotel in 1973 and razed it in order to build the new 19 story hotel which opened April 1, 1975. He also owned the Flame Restaurant in downtown Phoenix (34 W Adams St.).
In 1986 the Phoenix Hilton was acquired by a limited partnership headed by Mark Cohn of Greater Capital Real Estate Corporation of Burlingame, California from Prudential Insurance Co. of America. The acquisition price was $16,250,000. The hotel would become a franchised Hilton rather than a company-operated Hilton. Greater Capital Real Estate at that time also owned hotels in Chicago, San Francisco, Palm Springs and Tahiti. The hotel became the Omni Adams in 1991 after operating for 4 years 1986-1991, as the Sheraton Phoenix.
In 1993 Mark Cohn dropped the Omni Adams name and signed an agreement with Holiday Inn Worldwide to be the first Holiday Inn Crowne Plaza in Arizona. As part of the name change there was a $4.5 million renovation to all areas of the hotel. The hotel had a $109 average room rate prior to the renovation. A subsidiary of Holiday Inns provided the renovation loan. It is noted that Omni Hotels had desired to part ways with Cohn due to very late and unpaid bills.
In July 1999 Steve Cohn sued the city of Phoenix when the city voted to guarantee an $83 million loan for a 700 room Marriott Hotel and a guarantee on a $35 million loan for a 350-room Embassy Suites. Cohn thought the measures required city voter approval. A judge ruled in Cohn's favor and the two tax payer subsidized hotels were never built.
In 2003 the hotel joined the Wyndham brand as part of a 10-year franchise agreement between the property’s owners, Phoenix Hospitality LLC and Wyndham International. The hotel was renamed the Wyndham Phoenix.
Steve Cohn, Mark Cohn's brother, and the entity Phoenix Hospitality became owner of what was then the Phoenix Crowne Plaza Hotel in December of 1999. In May of 2003, the property was licensed as the Wyndham Phoenix. Steve Cohn served in the capacity of the property's Managing Director under both brand affiliations for Phoenix Hospitality. He continued as the property's Managing Director when the property was transferred to Phoenix Hotel Ventures in February 2007 and continued in that position until December 2011 when the hotel converted to a Renaissance Hotel and Marriott became the hotel manager. At that time, Steve Cohn and the entity PHXhotel LLC assumed the role of owner and asset manager.
In 2015 Steve Cohn CEO of PHXHotel, LLC, owner of the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown hotel, committed $10 million to improve Adams Street in accordance with the Adams Street Activation Study completed in 2013 via a City contract with the Gensler & Associates architectural firm. The design includes enhanced streetscape, shade, lighting and signage, provisions for new food and beverage, accommodations for special events and the relocation of the Renaissance Hotel’s main entrance to First Street. Without using one cent of public funds, the project includes a renovated façade, an expanded lobby, an improved arrival experience and open-air food and beverage venues with a priority for experienced local operators. The work will transform Adams Street into an engaging pedestrian friendly experience. At the October 28, 2015 City Council meeting, Mayor Greg Stanton thanked the Renaissance Phoenix Downtown Hotel for investing in the city. “This block is the front door to visitors from all over the country and the globe connecting our Convention Center to the rest of downtown,” said Stanton. The project is expected to finish in late 2017.
Paige Lund was appointed general manager in 2012. She is a 1993 graduate of Northern Arizona University School of Hotel & Restaurant Management.

then everything changed, another battle to fight
People are crazy and times are strange
I’m locked in tight, I’m out of range
I used to care, but things have changed
A worried man with a worried mind
No one in front of me and nothing behind

Another selfportrait .. sorry ๏̯͡๏)
Don't have much time to take pictures at the moment. I will stay in my town but in a month i share an appartement with my best girlfriend. We move into a very large accomodation and i am very excited about it. Now i have to arrange a lot of things, which means a lot of stress in the next weeks.
After i came home from work, i took my camera and tripod and went to the garden behind my apartment building. I just had a few minutes until the sun hides behind the near building. Here I used my new NIKKOR 85 mm 1:1,8D, i really like this lens.
It is *very* hot today. I felt like changing Anne into much more weather appropriate clothes and ended up taking some pictures.
lacking much inspiration lately :( maybe school on Tuesday will help all this.
anyways just got a dailybooth!
follow me? :)

I've watched you change
Into a fly
I looked away
You were on fire
I watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So Alive
I've watched you change
I took you home
Set you on the glass
I pulled off your wings
Then I laughed
I watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never
Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh
I look at the cross
Then I look away
Give you the lungs to
Blow me away
I've watched a change
In you
It's like you never
Had wings
Now you feel
So Alive
I've watched you change.
Now you feel Alive
You Feel Alive
I've watched you change
It's like you never
Had wings ahhh ahh ahhh
Change (In The House of Flies) - Deftones
Shoreditch London Old Street and City Road Silicon Roundabout Major Road Works.
This was due to be completed Autumn 2022 which has been delayed until Early 2024. The project commenced way back in 2019.
This cycle lane change was initially a three-year project. Now Five Years. The road is the inner ring road for London. They have blocked one of the tube entrances which includes the underpass. Ironically, cyclist do not even use this route since they blocked off the backstreets to traffic. They are trying to sabotage London. The situation is disgusting.
My LED doorbell project from 2005. This uses an Atmel Attiny12 to drive a single 5mm, 4-lead RGB LED embedded in the doorbell switch (I drilled into it to remove the original incandescent bulb). Power is taken parasitically from the doorbell transformer (16 VAC, if I remember correctly) in the attic of the house somewhere, and the switch shorts the whole thing, ringing the bell and resetting the microcontroller. The color cycle starts with pure white upon reset, providing a visual indication the ring has occurred.
Unfortunately, the switch itself only lasted for a few years, and now I have to rebuild the thing, maybe with capacitive touch instead!

Change is ominous. Change is obvious and desirable.As abrupt as it can be, the more appeal can it bring. And what else can bring it faster than the wings? This photo was taken at the horticulture garden in Alipore, Kolkata. My most favorite photo of that day. I found myself lucky enough to get this moment, I was looking for so many months.
Take a better look in black
Up ahead, you can just start to see the second of the chain of three lakes in the upper Tensleep Valley. This is Lake Marion, a smaller lake in a narrower portion of canyon. I'd argue it's prettier here than down at Lake Helen. Our original plan had been to continue on past this point about a half-mile to Misty Moon Lake, but all the other backpackers we'd talked to on the trail--including a pack of boy scouts--had the same plan. Also, Misty Moon sits at the junction of several trails, and I was starting to think things up there might get crowded. Meanwhile, we were tired, the sky was starting to look really questionable, and we happened upon a perfect little flat spot just over a hundred feet from the water, so this was where we stopped. Lake Marion it would be.
To be honest, if my own hair was long and full enough I would style it myself in a feminine manner. But it's not, so I must rely on the alternative. At least I have the option of changing the color/length/style on nothing more than a whim :)
Let's play a game! How much money do you think is here? The closest guesser gets a high five!
I'm about to count it at a TD Bank Penny Arcade. I've been collecting this pile for 3+ years!
I cashed in this change on 4/20/07. Some of the change in this jar
dates back five years or so. Can you guess how much it added up to?

{38 - change} 52 of you
been thinking about change all week due to 52 of you prompt. i like the cooler temps of the fall, yet i don't really enjoy winter as i did when i lived in NY. the light i have to say that is one of the things i miss most about this change to fall and then winter. the change in the colors are beautiful also the lights golden glow is pretty. changes that i guess are on my mind are how the world changes as my kids get older, i have a teen and pre-teen, they are amazing kids. i do find myself hoping i have given them all they need to be full of joy and safe in the world. sometimes i wish this parenting job came with a manual and a person that raised amazing kids next to me to answer all my questions. all i know i can do is love them as i do for who they are and keep the lines of communication open for them. i need to also remember to take all the changes lightly and jump for the joy i have all around me.i ♥ you s & b !!!
