This along with a handful of other images was created by me during the mid- and late-90's. They were generated by a 3D software app called Bryce, which was designed to create landscapes. Of course, I along with a number of other devotees pushed it into other services as you'll see by these images. Almost all these pictures required repainting (using Fractal Design's Painter) or post production of some kind. This is where I gained many of the skills that I use in working on my photos today.
This was a design concept for a book my wife wrote about science experiments inspired by Houdini. It was truly an ill-fated book. The manuscript sent to the publisher was lost, and the copy my wife had on her computer was corrupted by a bug in a digital version of Monopoly. No version exists today. (If it were that good she would rewrite it from scratch.)

Photos from Firefly 2013 in Bethel VT. This festival is home to many of the most creative, organized, fun, and community centered artistic individuals I know. Always a highlight of my summer, the smiles and laughter are never-ending. Focused on each attendee being a contributor, there is no difference between "Performer" and "attendee" as every individual at this event does their small part to make the entire gathering tick. Thank you FIREFLY and all of you BEAUTIFUL humans for bringing positive energy and community living back into the forefront of our collective minds.
There truly is "No place like hOMe". ♥

Firefly Arts Collective is a non-profit organization that facilitates the annual New England regional burner festival 'Firefly'. Firefly is a regional event inspired by the annual Burning Man festival in Nevada. Firefly is held in Vermont typically during July 4 weekend. Most of the organizers and participants come from the Boston metropolitan area and surrounding states including, but not limited to, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Vermont, and New York. Firefly is a camping event that celebrates art for art's sake and espouses a gift economy where no vending, sales or barter are permitted. Visual and performance artists from all over the New England region and the East Coast create a temporary community for the weekend. Participants share a wide range of talents from sculpting, painting, music, theatre, and DJing, to alternative forms of expression such as games, performance art, and circus talents such as aerial silks, juggling, and fire spinning. The event adheres to the ten principles of the Burning Man event in Nevada. Among these are the Leave No Trace philosophy, an environmental policy whereby participants are obligated to remove every piece of refuse that they generate while at the event, taking it with them when they leave. The themes of radical self-expression and radical self-reliance are also borrowed from Burning Man. Firefly Effigy - July 2008 In addition, the event is considered a "no spectators" event, meaning that all attendees are expected to actively participate in its creation, staffing, and general philosophy. According to the event's official website Firefly is, "A celebration of self-expression and community! Firefly is a participatory arts and music gathering in the woods of Vermont." The event is organized and run completely by volunteers. On the last night of Firefly a giant wooden Firefly is burned. In 2006 the Firefly included fireworks launched from its top.

UNMISS inaugurates new solar farm to generate renewable energy
The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) has inaugurated a new solar farm project to minimise operating expensive generators consuming fossil fuel at capital Juba. The green energy, will be supported by one generator of 500 KVA to produce power that make a move to the Mission’s head offices at the UN-House.
Since 2011, the peacekeeping mission has been operating across the country through the use of
The twenty-five years estimated solar farm life span, occupying an area of approximately 10,000 square meters, will supply nine office buildings and uniformed personnel accommodations.
Producing sixty percent power output, the farm will reduce the number of previously five generators run at power house to two.
Having taken fourteen months long duration to establish the farm until February 2020, the project is a move towards the United Nations’ strategy of ensuring all power provided to the mission’s facilities, come from renewable sources.
Kensington Exchange - Note the cams on the right-hand-side, oscillating the electrical contacts to generate pulse signals of different frequencies. Note the two-toned wheel in the middle - presumably for use in checking the speed of rotation, used with a strobe of known frequency. If it were a ringer, the cams typically would have been encased in eg a glass or perspex covering to keep the dust out.
They generated 10 ips & 20 ips (Impulses Per Second) for use by routiners etc. for dialling numbers - 600 RPM = 10 IPS
Used only in the older SxS exchanges, later exchanges used separate relay type impulsing circuits.
