A remarkable sight in 2024 was evidence of new investment placed into an industrial narrow gauge railway. The 600mm gauge railway connecting the Wesling limestone quarry at Förderstedt with the Ciech soda plant in Staßfurt took delivery of two new 'TL16' 520 volts DC locomotives from Slovakia. On 1st February 2024, No.5 built in 2019 was outside the maintenance workshop during lunch break. Behind was one of the 1983-built LEW Henningsdorf locos, 'No.1' (works No.16704) and one of the recently delivered fleet of twelve hopper wagons in service alongside some of the remaining older green-liveried ones. The original plan to use electric traction for this railway system many decades ago has paid off, as we move forward during the 21st century with ever greener production solutions being demanded in industry.

VAZIANI, Georgia - Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles move forward, May 17, during Exercise Noble Partner 15 as part of a force on force training scenario. The scenario consisted of U.S. and Georgian soldiers working together to first secure an airfield before pushing forward into the mock village about a kilometer away. Improvised explosive devices and enemy ground forces were some of the obstacles the partnering units had to overcome before successfully seizing the village objective. (Photo by Sgt.

AKA "The Brain Washer"
Bax Toh'Rhee had found a true mentor and friend in Doctor Kehl'Rhan, or at least he thought so. Going so far as to assist Bax in a surgery to remove and replace his own hand with a prototype that allowed him to feel through sensor clusters in the prosthetic.
When Kehl'Rhan asked Bax to accompany him to a new position at an outpost near the outer rim, it seemed like a great adventure as well as an opportunity. Unfortunately for Bax, the Doctor had a different set of experiments in mind for the young man. Almost immediately following their arrival at the outpost, Kehl'Rhan drugged Bax and locked him away in a secret lab and over the course of several months he conducted experiments on him that, in the end, amounted to a complete dissection. A slow, torturous living autopsy.
The Doctor used Bax's technological advances to keep his head alive and functioning as a CPU that processed all the data and completely ran the lab. Unfortunately for Bax, the Doctor had also been conducting other experiments that drew the attention of the authorities and he was arrested, tried and executed. The offsite lab was not discovered on the doctor's arrest and Bax remained, disembodied and trapped for 42 years.
During that time, Bax was able to use the robotics of the lab to construct a robotic body and even take control of it remotely. Eventually, the lab was discovered by a relative of Kehl'Rhan who inherited the madman's off the book properties and he was horrified by the revelation. Not allowing the opportunity to regain his freedom escape, Bax commanded his robot body to apprehend his captor's relative and forced them to assist in the surgical attachment of Bax's head and his new body. After the surgery, Bax killed his now savior in a fit of uncontrolled rage and made his escape.
Feeling the need to flee the planet before his actions were discovered, he made his way to a testing facility he had toured when he first arrived and happened on a starfighter that required only minor modifications to allow him to operate it using a neural interface. Overnight, he made his initial adjustments and integrated himself to the fighter, making a hasty escape. Of course, his departure was detected, but the security forces that were scrambled could not match the fighter's speed or maneuverability and the Evader Class easily lived up to its name.
TO BE CONTINUED... Maybe.

Hong Kong Cultural Centre
Hong Kong Cultural Centre is the best place to see Hong Kong skyline from ground level.
The Hong Kong Cultural Centre (Chinese: 香港文化ä¸å¿ƒ) is a multipurpose performance facility in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong. Located at Salisbury Road, it was founded by the former Urban Council and, after 2000, has been administered by the Leisure and Cultural Services Department of the Hong Kong Government. A wide variety of cultural performances is held here.
The centre is located on the southwestern tip of Tsim Sha Tsui, on the former location of the Kowloon Station of the Kowloon-Canton Railway. Adjacent to the centre on the west is the Tsim Sha Tsui Ferry Pier of the Star Ferry, while to the east are the Hong Kong Space Museum and Hong Kong Museum of Art. The historic Clock Tower stands between the centre and the pier.
A couple looks forward to their future after buying a new house and starting a family.

The Foreground Shows Just A Few Of the Tens Of Thousands, If Not Hundreds Of Thousands Of Trees To Be Felled In The Name Of Progress, Ready For The Start Of Construction On the Bloated White Elephant Better Know As HS2. Just In Case You Were Wondering, I'm Whole Heartedly Against It, Just To Gain A Few Extra Minutes Off A Journey Time, Whilst Some People Will Support It, I Personally Think History Will Show It To Be An Expensive Mistake That We Can ill Afford.
