There is a clear difference between looking at the camera AND looking at me. Two very different things
the only difference is the lighter shade of colour on the stubble and the much more vibrant green for the eyes. i recommend using this one other than draft 1. i'm still working on the torso an legs but till those come, give credit if used
The age difference between the two vessels is not as great as one would think by looking at them. The Gato Class Submarine USS Cobia, on display at the Maritime Museum, was constructed in late 1943 while the Kaye Barker across the river started life as the Edward B. Greene a mere eight years and two months later in January of 1952.
What a difference a day makes. Winter comes to Westvale Pond, leaving a coating of ice for the Daily Challenge on weather. I decided to go out with just my 35mm and enjoyed dealing with its limits. On the plus side, it is my sharpest lens and feather weight (almost). Many have noticed the heart shape - I wish I could say that I did at the time, but not so. Explore 178.

Apprenticeship vacancies have fallen by a fifth while applications have increased by a third, according to new government statistics
The number of apprenticeship vacancies being advertised has dropped by more than 20 per cent, with providers believing that employers are holding back on recruitment in the run-up to the introduction of the apprenticeship levy.
Data published by the government last week showed that 50,070 apprenticeship vacancies were posted on the Recruit an Apprentice website, which allows training providers to post vacancies and manage applications, in the three months from August to October 2016. This compared with 62,880 in the same period the previous year, and it is the first time the figure has dropped in this quarter for eight years.
However, the figures also reveal that the number of applications has increased by 35 per cent from last year, from 425,020 in the first quarter of 2015-16 to 575,610 in the equivalent period in 2016-17. Of these, there was an increase of more than 100,000 in the applications from 16- to 18-year-olds.
According to the Association of Employment and Learning Providers (AELP), the drop in vacancies posted could be down to the forthcoming introduction of the levy in April, which will change the way apprenticeships are funded. While currently, for example, employers have to fund a third of the cost of the Trailblazer apprenticeships, from April levy payers will receive a 10 per cent top-up on their levy contribution to fund apprenticeships, and non-levy paying employers will be expected to pay 10 per cent of the cost of an apprenticeship.
‘Hopefully numbers will recover’
AELP chief executive Mark Dawe told TES that providers were reporting a lag in recruitment because of the difference between current funding arrangements and the ones coming into effect in May.
“It’s particularly hard to persuade a finance director to sign off vacancies under the new standards now, when the 33 per cent employer contribution is soon to disappear,” he said. “While we still have over half a million young people unemployed, the lag is very unfortunate but most would agree that the new funding regime is more attractive than the Trailblazer one so hopefully numbers overall will recover.”
Mr Dawe added that providers were waiting to hear if they had secured a contract from the Skills Funding Agency to deliver apprenticeships to non-levy payers. Uncertainty was also being created by providers having to wait to learn whether they have been approved for the new register of providers. “All of this is creating uncertainty and a reluctance on the part of some to take the risk of recruiting,” he added.

People say lots of silly things about failure. For instance, my high school principal tried to inspire/lecture us at our graduation by telling us, "If you don't have a goal to aim towards, you'll never miss your mark." I think this was just a confused version of "Aim for the moon, because even if you miss you'll end up among the stars." But to this day, I can't be sure if he was being stupid, sarcastic, or secretly ingenious at some deeply meta level.
Here's another thing people say: Failure is not an option. Words that have been muttered more than once by desperate men right before they make a really bad decision.
Some pretty dire stuff can happen when we refuse to accept defeat, refuse to acknowledge our failures or even our capacity to fail. When the stakes are so high, we might feel justified in resorting to all kinds of bad behavior we'd never excuse when failure *is* an option. Those words -- "failure is not an option" -- are really just another way of saying, "I had no choice." Really? None at all? Forgive me if I chock that up to lack of imagination.
Am I saying we should embrace failure and learn from our mistakes? Sure. But let's not fetishize failure. Let's not get so comfortable with failure that we use it to excuse mediocrity and broken systems and bokeh lighting.
A popular saying in Silicon Valley these days is: Fail fast, fail often. Such advice is easy to follow when the cost of failure is relatively low, when there's not much more than 1s and 0s at stake and you can always write a new bit of code. But it quickly becomes obvious how terrible an idea it is when failing fast and often means creating basic employment instability for workers, churning out cheap gadgets that just end up in landfills because nobody actually wants them, and burning through natural resources on an already feverish planet in pursuit of get-rich-quick schemes on a massive scale.
Maybe the most obvious result of the fail-fast approach is that soon enough we find ourselves living in a culture of failure, surrounded by discarded half-assed projects and half-baked ideas that don't really satisfy anyone's needs. This is not a culture of innovation and creativity, but of laziness, clutter and distraction. "We'll let the consumers decide. We'll just throw everything against the wall and see what sticks," say the folks with nothing to lose. I have in mind an old sit-com scene where a woman cooking pasta take this advice literally and throws an entire pot of spaghetti against the wall. What do you get? Just a big mess and a bunch of hungry people.
What we may have forgotten along the way is that you have to cook the pasta first. That's what thinking is for, after all: imagining scenarios in your head, playing out different ways things could go, preparing for the possibility that things will go wrong so that when they do you don't end up with marinara sauce dripping from the ceiling. It's much quicker to clean up imaginary messes. So while I admire the can-do spirit that doesn't shy away from failure, I'd like to see more of us taking a moment to figure out what it is we really want, to think through our choices and the costs involved instead of outsourcing that part of the process and trying to rebrand junk as the price of success.
Maybe I'm starting to sound a bit too much like my high school principal, but I guess what I'm trying to say is: The fastest way to fail is to think things through.

Short break from real photos. Got a X100T today. Keen to experience the difference in size and weight. Still like my X-T1 for real stuff. Try to use the X100T daily.
