Charles Babbage's consuming passion, consummated after a century.
I have to admire the dedication of anybody who wanted to build this, but I also seriously question their sanity.
Even as an educational piece, it misses the mark. It's messy, noisy, slow, hard to describe, and generally doesn't work.
As Art, well, maybe.
But it is a glorious piece of work - both design and execution. Engineering, maybe not -- he was British after all, not even Scottish.
Since 1947, the United States Marine Corps and Toys for Tots have been making a difference in the lives of children around the world.
Every year, the Marines stationed in U.S. embassies around the world solicit donations from the diplomatic community and distribute toys to disadvantaged children in their host country. Last year, over 8 million children received a gift through Toys for Tots, brightening the lives of children and showing the spirit of service and community found in every American Marine.
Can you spot the difference? FGR's challenge was two photos with minor differences. One physical, 2 photoshopped.
"Sillä minä olen varma siitä,
ettei kuolema eikä elämä,
ei enkelit eikä henkivallat,
ei nykyiset eikä tulevaiset,
ei voimat,
ei korkeus eikä syvyys,
eikä mikään muu luotu
voi meitä erottaa
Jumalan rakkaudesta,
joka on Kristuksessa Jeesuksessa,
meidän Herrassamme"
"Ty jag är viss om att
varken död eller liv,
varken änglar eller andefurstar,
varken något som nu är eller något som skall komma,
varken någon makt i höjden
eller någon makt i djupet,
ej heller något annat skapat
skall kunna skilja oss
från Guds kärlek
i Kristus Jesus,
vår Herre."
"For I am persuaded,
that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor principalities,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor powers,
nor height, nor depth,
nor any other created thing,
will be able to separate us
from the love of God,
which is in Christ Jesus
our Lord.."
Rom. 8:38-39
Atom and nuclear weapons in use are a force movement.
God power is invisible spiritual power that is not disturbed.
It's like when you dive in water or against waves underwater,
the water reconnects.
Has sun storm, hurricane or nuclear weapon rubbed on God?
No!

I think this is a mushroom. Wonder about the coral/toothed mushrooms but have not found its match yet.

The Science|Business Roundtable "The Energy Difference - Accelerating Energy Innovation" took place on 11 March 2011 at the Representation of the German state of Baden-Württemberg to the European Union in Brussels.
Energy R&D has some fundamental characteristics that sets it apart from that in other technology sectors. The installed base of assets means it’s difficult and costly for alternative technologies to compete. And despite the risk and huge outlays for innovation, the final products – fuel and electricity – are largely undifferentiated. Research needs long horizons and planning certainty. Would a different policy approach help Europe meet the EC’s 2020 energy goals?
Science|Business is the first independent media company that brings together researchers, investors and policy makers in the European innovation community. It publishes news, organises networking events, conducts innovation-policy research, and provides communications consulting tailored to the specialized world of research and innovation.

Lots of people I know have given up on eBay due to the large number of scammers, like the one in China who sold me the TAMRON-EOS adapter shown mounted here which has the lettering printed upside down!
Then you come across a good deal like this legendary Tamron SP 90mm that came with the optional macro extension tube, a couple of adapters (For N/AI) and lens hood, case, caps, UV filter, and instructions in like-new condition! They even threw in a nice book on macro photography.
Yes, it's a gamble. The seller makes all the difference. This seller has a 100% Positive feed back score. So, for that matter, do I!
I did not do so well on the adapters, but I gave him the feedback he deserved.
I never dreamed of getting this legendary lens and all the accessories at a very fair price. I l left that seller the best feedback I could fit in the allotted space.
Ignore seller's negative feedback at your own peril. In the case of adapters, it's a little tough because they mostly all come from china. Something is really needed here. Like some US distributors that are marking up the adapters by 400%.
I feel like Diogenes searching for an honest man, and growing weary in the process!
It helps to win every once in a while!
For the whole month of February, teachers and students at Madison-Monroe School No. 16 celebrated Black History Month. As a school wide event, teachers were asked to have students pick one famous African American (per class) and represent that person by learning all about him/her and creating projects based on that person. Mrs. Alameda and her second grade class discussed and learned about the many different African Americans that greatly contributed to society (past and present). As a result, they choose to represent Mr. Shaquille O’ Neal for their annual Black History Month Museum Walk since he is currently making a difference across the globe. When the students in Mrs. Alameda’s class learned about how Mr. O’ Neal tries to make a difference in the lives of children just like them, they decided to make a video that honors Shaquille O’ Neal for Black History Month. The video featured footage of their “Shaq-Tastic” classroom and words of appreciation by both the students and teacher.
The video went viral within 24 hours, and, 3 days later, Mr. Shaquille O’ Neal saw the video! He responded with gratitude and appreciation via social media. A week later, the class received a video back from Mr. Shaquille O’ Neal in which he stated he would “visit them soon”. On Tuesday, March 15th, Mrs. Alameda and her 2nd grade students got a surprise that they will never forget! Mr. Shaquille O’ Neal surprised them while they were busy in their classroom doing school work! During his visit, Mr. O’ Neal took pictures with the students, joked around with them, and offered them words of encouragement which included, “respect your teachers, respect your parents, and never give up on your dreams”. The students in Room 2-107 were ecstatic to see someone so influential visit them! Although they did not expect a visit, they were thrilled that he took the time out of his busy schedule to come visit them and make a difference in their lives!
Before starting my Passage of time project, to get inspiration I looked at several different photographers and several types of photography. This is a response to painting with light photography.

Thinking Outside The Box - Or Clinging to the Lid
The Power of Psychological Artistry
Standing Out from the Crowd - Creating Your Difference
Being Different - No, Really Different
What You Get On The Workshops?
What Do People Say About The Workshops?
Register Your Place
For more information on the day, please see www.mindsways.com/SMS/ and for a brochure of what the day is about, please look at www.mindsways.com/SMS/.
Over the past 18 Months I have been running these Sleight of Mind Set Workshops throughout the country, and I am really pleased with the feedback, it has been tremendous, please don't just take my word for it, (I am after all biased) please see what people have said by going to www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/
For over twenty five years I have seen how magic can add value to delivery. There are a lot of unknown techniques out there, many of them psychological, that engages and attracts people. The Sleight of Mind Set workshop is all about how you can tap into this rich stream of ideas and "Mind Magic's" enduring popularity. The day looks at two paths running together, one learning the tricks and effects, the other why and how they add value to us.
They start at 10:00 a.m. and finish at 4:30 p.m. For more information about the workshops, please got to www.mindsways.com/SMS/
THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX - OR CLINGING TO THE LID
Many people claim that the answers to creativity, standing out from the crowd and finding solutions to problems is thinking outside the box. Although, I see many people who cling ferociously on to the lid. Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic, as well as the tools and techniques contained within them are definitely off the lid. For more, see the Sleight Of Mind Set page at www.mindsways.com/SMS/Explaining what you can achieve with these tools is wonderful. For me, I find it deeply rewarding when I see and the results that have been created using these tools and techniques. Don't just take my word for it, see What People Say About Us at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/.
The Sleight Of Mind Set day is not just about learning the Mind Magic tricks, (these are quick to learn, but create much to be thought about) what makes it thrilling is what you can build with them for yourself. You can build pieces into your delivery, making this very personal to you. You can take these pieces and use them to ignite a powerful response in others, engaging and involving them in your ideas and what you do. Our focus is around Showing Not Telling which is about illuminating and animating your ideas and concepts. This contributes greatly to leaving people delighted, energized, interested and wanting more.
To find out more about Mind Magic and its uses, please go to www.mindsways.com/SMS/
THE POWER OF PSYCHOLOGICAL ARTISTRY
The approach we take is what we call Psychological Artistry and this involves using a blend of psychology, mind magic (or mentalism), personal development and smart thinking ideas. By tapping into people's imagination, curiosity and desire for mystery we can engage people in all different areas. By adding in psychological approaches, this is strengthened. I appreciate that by its very nature, it is not a traditional approach but that is where its power lies.
Psychological Artistry is about blending the world of art and psychology. It's about showing the beautiful flaws in our thinking and how we can use them. It's about magnifying how we all think and giving you the opportunity to change it.
A couple of interesting examples the McGurk effect and Prof Richard Wiseman's "The Incredible Colour Changing Card Effect". Please see www.mindsways.com/SMS for these and other incredible videos. I would love to know what you think. These illustrate both the power and the approach of psychological artistry.
STANDING OUT FROM THE CROWD - CREATING YOUR DIFFERENCE
This learning works on a number of levels. On the workshops, we look at what Mind Magic reveals about how we think, act and behave. This allows us to understand the environment we're in.
Whilst doing this, we're also tapping into the fact that performing and illustrating illusions holds a deep fascination for people. This is what allows us to stand out from the crowd. Below are a few quotes of what people have said about the workshop:
"A truly inspiring experience is how I'd best describe the Sleight of Mind Set workshop."
"I came away with lots of ideas to create drama and interest in my training delivery."
"The whole group laughed many times and were absolutely fascinated by each technique."
BEING DIFFERENT - NO, REALLY DIFFERENT
This programme is good for anyone looking for something different and to stimulate new styles of thinking. The feedback has definitely been that it has satisfied the thirst for new ideas whilst ticking all of the edutrainment boxes. This programme is for you if you are interested in any of the following:
Human Behaviour & Psychology
Influence & Persuasion
How We Think
Magic & Magicians

for yourself and others. Overall it acts a catalyst for your future development.
It is intended for people who are curious, want to improve how they connect, express and communicate with others. Overall, it is about adding new skills to you and being able to apply the techniques and ideas from Psychological Artistry and Mind Magic to maximise what you do.
MindSways sessions are based on a unique blend of magic, science, psychological artistry, design and smart thinking. All of this allows you to work with individuals, groups and organisations in an original and dynamic way. It also means that by being trained in these psychological subtleties and powerful techniques, you can add a unique twist to your activities.
Our success in life depends critically on two things; our capacity for insight into our own mental world and that of other people. One of the benefits of learning and applying Mind Magic and psychological artistry is that it puts our thinking habits and styles back on our radar. This is only one aspect of the many benefits that people find when they have worked with us over the past few months. For what others have said please take a look at www.mindsways.com/what-people-say/ ;
