Fort Lauderdale is a city in the U.S. state of Florida, 25 miles (40 km) north of Miami. It is the county seat of Broward County. As of the 2019 census, the city has an estimated population of 182,437. Fort Lauderdale is a principal city of the Miami metropolitan area, which was home to an estimated 6,198,782 people in 2018.
The city is a popular tourist destination, with an average year-round temperature of 75.5 °F (24.2 °C) and 3,000 hours of sunshine per year. Greater Fort Lauderdale which takes in all of Broward County hosted 12 million visitors in 2012, including 2.8 million international visitors. The city and county in 2012 collected $43.9 million from the 5% hotel tax it charges, after hotels in the area recorded an occupancy rate for the year of 72.7 percent and an average daily rate of $114.48. The district has 561 hotels and motels comprising nearly 35,000 rooms. Forty six cruise ships sailed from Port Everglades in 2012. Greater Fort Lauderdale has over 4,000 restaurants, 63 golf courses, 12 shopping malls, 16 museums, 132 nightclubs, 278 parkland campsites, and 100 marinas housing 45,000 resident yachts.
Fort Lauderdale is named after a series of forts built by the United States during the Second Seminole War. The forts took their name from Major William Lauderdale (1782–1838), younger brother of Lieutenant Colonel James Lauderdale. William Lauderdale was the commander of the detachment of soldiers who built the first fort. However, development of the city did not begin until 50 years after the forts were abandoned at the end of the conflict. Three forts named "Fort Lauderdale" were constructed; the first was at the fork of the New River, the second at Tarpon Bend on the New River between the Colee Hammock and Rio Vista neighborhoods, and the third near the site of the Bahia Mar Marina.
The area in which the city of Fort Lauderdale would later be founded was inhabited for more than two thousand years by the Tequesta Indians. Contact with Spanish explorers in the 16th century proved disastrous for the Tequesta, as the Europeans unwittingly brought with them diseases, such as smallpox, to which the native populations possessed no resistance. For the Tequesta, disease, coupled with continuing conflict with their Calusa neighbors, contributed greatly to their decline over the next two centuries. By 1763, there were only a few Tequesta left in Florida, and most of them were evacuated to Cuba when the Spanish ceded Florida to the British in 1763, under the terms of the Treaty of Paris (1763), which ended the Seven Years' War. Although control of the area changed between Spain, the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Confederate States of America, it remained largely undeveloped until the 20th century.
The Fort Lauderdale area was known as the "New River Settlement" before the 20th century. In the 1830s there were approximately 70 settlers living along the New River. William Cooley, the local Justice of the Peace, was a farmer and wrecker, who traded with the Seminole Indians. On January 6, 1836, while Cooley was leading an attempt to salvage a wrecked ship, a band of Seminoles attacked his farm, killing his wife and children, and the children's tutor. The other farms in the settlement were not attacked, but all the white residents in the area abandoned the settlement, fleeing first to the Cape Florida Lighthouse on Key Biscayne, and then to Key West.
The first United States stockade named Fort Lauderdale was built in 1838, and subsequently was a site of fighting during the Second Seminole War. The fort was abandoned in 1842, after the end of the war, and the area remained virtually unpopulated until the 1890s. It was not until Frank Stranahan arrived in the area in 1893 to operate a ferry across the New River, and the Florida East Coast Railroad's completion of a route through the area in 1896, that any organized development began. The city was incorporated in 1911, and in 1915 was designated the county seat of newly formed Broward County.
Fort Lauderdale's first major development began in the 1920s, during the Florida land boom of the 1920s. The 1926 Miami Hurricane and the Great Depression of the 1930s caused a great deal of economic dislocation. In July 1935, an African-American man named Rubin Stacy was accused of robbing a white woman at knife point. He was arrested and being transported to a Miami jail when police were run off the road by a mob. A group of 100 white men proceeded to hang Stacy from a tree near the scene of his alleged robbery. His body was riddled with some twenty bullets. The murder was subsequently used by the press in Nazi Germany to discredit US critiques of its own persecution of Jews, Communists, and Catholics.
When World War II began, Fort Lauderdale became a major US base, with a Naval Air Station to train pilots, radar operators, and fire control, operators. A Coast Guard base at Port Everglades was also established.
On July 4, 1961, African Americans started a series of protests, wade-ins, at beaches that were off-limits to them, to protest "the failure of the county to build a road to the Negro beach". On July 11, 1962, a verdict by Ted Cabot went against the city's policy of racial segregation of public beaches.
Today, Fort Lauderdale is a major yachting center, one of the nation's largest tourist destinations, and the center of a metropolitan division with 1.8 million people.

The start of the GM revolution - EWS 66049 would have been around a year old when captured on the York avoiding line hauling a southbound rake of HAA coal hoppers. The previous generation of traction can be seen heading North in the form of Railfreight Freightliner 47370 Andrew A Hodgkinson.
66049 was one of a batch of Class 66s transferred to Euro Cargo Rail for use in Europe during EWS ownership, while 47370 was withdrawn in January 2003 but was stored in Ipswich due to a major failure, and finally hauled to Felixstowe in May 2009 before being taken by road to Stockton for scrapping.
The failure of the visiting Pete Waterman owned Rat before start of service put a severe kink in the gala timetable and this 12.30 Sheringham - Holt was still nearly half an hour late. The former 25 909 had been fixed on Weybourne shed and then run light to Sheringham to take up this service, with J15 564 assisting on the rear as far as Weybourne.
Western Forest Products #304 suffered an engine failure in 2012. The prime mover was removed for repair in Campbell River. The photo was taken October 17, 2012 in the locomotive shop at Nimpkish.
37401 sat down at Grange working the 2c48 Lancaster-Carlisle. I was waiting at Roose however when my trusty mum called me she confirmed a failure at Grange, as she was on the train. With the shadows encroaching at my desired location and no signs of movement, I finally got a call 41 minutes after its booked time saying they departed Grange. By the time it would be through Roose, the sun would've dropped too far so I headed to Dalton for a relatively crappy shot of it static, well after 7 pm, 41 minutes late.
It was another cool winter morning, the sun had risen and was slowly burning off the fog that had settled over night. I stopped to take a photo of a tree when I saw... a winter scene by the side of the dirt road.

Damn! Laura has changed. She has grown all emotional.
Suddenly she cares for these test subjects. She really is forgetting her place in all this.
I showed her the failures room and she got angry. With a look of disgust she ran off.
Strange, for a moment I saw something else in her eyes. Hope?

Having some difficulty of late seeing the world. More succinctly, producing the frames I know are out there. When I go to post something, I feel like I am watching cable television -- many channels to choose from, but the overwhelming sense that there is nothing 'on'.
Challenging part of our passion. I lose interest in my work often, as I am sure we all do...just another one of those times I guess.
Hate the ruts.
Thanks for listening.
Project Prometheus
Assessment report
Date 29 10 2631
>> Confidential <<
Initial contamination with the agent of P381-X9341-A showed great potential. However Dr. M03198 failed to keep the infection quarantined. After the incident, the Prometheus was sealed off. With no food supply the infected crew turned on itself. We continued to monitor the situation closely.
When the power reactor started to show signs of failure we sent in a squad to extract the sole non infected crew member. They were able to reach the pod but were ambushed. From the final video transmission we could see the target was already starting to mutate. Sending in another squad is useless.
It was decided to stop the program. We disabled the Prometheus' guidance matrix and shut down the power core remotely. The ship is now following a decaying orbit around the planet and will crash on it's surface within a few days.
Project Prometheus is terminated effective immediately.
Project Chronos is still go.

This is the first in a photographic series I'm calling Living Large, which will feature whimsical 1/64 scale model scenes built around a real object that is decidedly out of scale.
Check out the whole collection in the Living Large album on my Flickr main page.
Think this is Flabob Express -It was so close to leaving but then one of the engines failed so they had to stay behind. So disappointing for them!
This is a fun one to decode....

I envisioned the "Shoot the Moon" perspective during the day and suggested it to the WIRED photographer. We had our tripod legs enmeshed, and I hope they got something similar.

“What he realised, and more clearly as time went on, was that money-worship has been elevated into a religion. Perhaps it is the only real religion-the only felt religion-that is left to us. Money is what God used to be. Good and evil have no meaning any longer except failure and success. Hence the profoundly significant phrase, to make good. The decalogue has been reduced to two commandments. One for the employers-the elect, the money priesthood as it were- 'Thou shalt make money'; the other for the employed- the slaves and underlings'- 'Thou shalt not lose thy job.' " ― George Orwell, Keep the Aspidistra Flying
It is far too easy to fall into the trap of only broadcasting the good things about ourselves; our happy days, our successes, our best lives. Be it in conversation with others or more often than not through social media we want to prove to everyone else how good we are.
Photographers can be especially guilty of this. We don't want people to think we're not very good. With the trillions of photos there are there we're each trying to get people to pay attention to our images more than others. This does help to create a false impression of success rate though. It can look like everything works out perfectly each time. This is far from true though, with many having far more failures than successes.
As such I wish to start occasionally sharing some of my photography failures, starting with this real slap to the head moment. It was September 2013 and my early days of going on photo charters. Barrow Hill Roundhouse Railway Centre is a wonderfully atmospheric place and I was really looking forward to my first photography event there.
I finished work and made the dash up to Derbyshire, arriving just as the event was getting going. At the gate I handed over the money and parked up, eager to start. So I opened the boot to get my gear, unzipped my camera bag, looked at the empty space where my camera should have been, zipped up the bag and shut the boot.
I was really annoyed at myself and felt incredibly stupid. There was nothing I could do about it though so I had a quick stroll around the site to stretch my legs then headed home.
These things happen though and I laugh about it now. I imagine many of you have similar stories even if you may not want to admit to them. Not everything we do is a success but we should accept it though and show the world that the bad moments happen just as much as the good.
… This would Have Been an Epic Fail. Because the fog blocked the view entirely for a bit! Since I supervised the Client Support side of a university IT department, the recounting of an epic loss of memories and work is PTSD-worthy. I used to tell incoming freshmen that if the loss of something would make you cry, make very very sure you have backups! Then I followed that story with my own experience of writing a lengthy paper and the power going out and losing it all. I handled it like any reasonable, married, graduate student would. I phoned my mom and cried. ODC: hard drive epic fail
The Dutch State Railways Nederlandse Spoorwegen (NS) Class 1000 was a set of ten electric locomotives (numbered 1001-1010) used in the Netherlands during the latter half of the 20th century. The electrical systems and three completed units were ordered from the Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works in 1942, but the war blocked delivery until 1948. Despite high failure rates the locomotives remained in service through 1982, and locomotive 1010—built by Werkspoor—is now preserved in the Dutch National Railway Museum.
NS management already had contact with the Swiss company Oerlikon about ordering a series of electric locos before the war. They were to be based on the Swiss Ae 4/6 type. In 1942 the series was ordered, but the war prevented delivery until 1948. The order was subsequently changed to suit Dutch needs.
The "Schweizerische Lokomotivenfabrik Winterthur" (SLM) would build 3 complete locos and deliver the electrical equipment for the remaining 7. These 7 would be built in the Netherlands, by Werkspoor. The series would be numbered 1001-1010 and had 6 axles in a 2-2+2+2+2-2 or (1A)'Bo(A1)' configuration. This configuration was already used successfully on the electrified railway network on Java, then a Dutch colony, but in the Netherlands it was a failure due to its complicated technology and high maintenance.

I haven't had much time to draw this month, but every second I got I spent on this. Its my first drawing I've done with meaning behind it. I'm really happy with how it came out :)
Having done at least 500 noisy laps around my living room on Wednesday, this pesky house fly suddenly experienced catastrophic engine failure, and plummeted to the carpet! Having been quite irritated by its constant buzzing earlier, I now felt a bit sorry for it, so picked it up and placed it on the table. It was quite lethargic and stayed put for this long exposure (1.3 seconds!), before I popped it in a safe place outside.
I took this image with my MP-E 65mm lens, at around 1x magnification, f/14. It's only had a slight crop.

Incidentally this is how I say chicken at better restaurants.
(Which is a lie, because I don't go to better restaurants.)

Tried to repair the leaky bellows my GS645 came with. Let's just say it didn't quite work. :D
Had to bite the bullet and replace the bellows, which fortunately turned out to be much simpler than I thought.
Sometimes, just sometimes, no description is needed, it's all in the face.
Lauren sent me a selfie video.
Here's the three stills from it that tell the story.
The OK-GLI (Buran Analog BST-02) was a test vehicle ("Buran aerodynamic analogue") in the soviet Buran program. It was constructed in 1984, and was used for 25 test flights between 1985 and 1988 before being retired. It is now an exhibition at the Technikmuseum Speyer in Germany.
The development of the Buran by the soviet began in the late 1970s as a response to the U.S. Space Shuttle program. The construction of the orbiters began in 1980, and by 1984 the first full-scale Buran was rolled out. The first suborbital test flight of a scale-model took place as early as July 1983. As the project progressed, five additional scale-model flights were performed.
The OK-GLI (Buran Analog BST-02) test vehicle ("Buran aerodynamic analogue") was constructed in 1984. It was fitted with four Ljulka AL-31 jet engines mounted at the rear (the fuel tank for the engines occupied a quarter of the cargo bay). This Buran could take off under its own power for flight tests, in contrast to the American Enterprise test vehicle, which was entirely unpowered and relied on an air launch.
The jets were used to take off from a normal landing strip, and once it reached a designated point, the engines were cut and OK-GLI glided back to land. This provided invaluable information about the handling characteristics of the Buran design, and significantly differed from the carrier plane/air drop method used by the USA and the Enterprise test craft.
On 4 March 2008 the OK-GLI started her journey by sea to the Technikmuseum Speyer where it has been refurbished and serves as walk-in exhibition.
The journey got off to an inauspicious start when, during the transfer from the storage barge to the ship, there was a failure of the aft spreader (part of the lifting mechanism) and the tail of the vehicle dropped from just above deck height to the bottom of the hold. Fortunately, no-one was hurt and both the ship and vehicle seemed to suffer only minor damage.
