Rising through the cold December fog, the clock tower of the Palace of Culture and Science stood resolute, its illuminated face marking the passage of time over a city steeped rich in history. Built in 1955, this towering sentinel remains one of the tallest structures in Europe, a charming blend of American art deco, Polish elegance, and the unmistakable influences of Stalinist architecture. It's a building both controversial and captivating, a testament to the layers of history that have shaped Warszawa.

CAMP ZAMA, Japan — For the first time in United States Army history, a member of the Chemical Corps will serve in the Inspector General (IG) ranks.

Army Master Sgt. Elizandro Jimenez, a seasoned chemical operations specialist and U.S. Army Japan’s (USARJ) newest assistant inspector general, took the Inspector General oath at USARJ headquarters in Camp Zama, Japan, July 7, 2016.

“I’ve witnessed many changes during my 15 years of military service,” said Jimenez, a native of El Paso, Texas. “However, one important fact hasn’t changed, and that’s our leaders’ responsibility to take care of their Soldiers. Serving in the Office of the Inspector General puts me in a perfect position to teach, guide and advise my fellow leaders and the Soldiers they command.”

Army Maj. Gen. James F. Pasquarette, commanding general, USARJ, formally inducted Jimenez into the IG community during a brief conducted in his office.

“[Jimenez] is a welcome addition to the USARJ team,” said Pasquarette. “His training and experience will help us resolve problems and improve programs that will enhance relations between the USARJ Community and our Japanese partners.”

According to Army Regulation 20-1, “Inspector General Activities and Procedures,” the IG extends the eyes, ears, voice and conscience of the Secretary of the Army and Chief of Staff of the Army by reporting on the discipline, efficiency, economy, morale, training and readiness of the Army.

“We do this through promoting opportunities, assessing complaints, performing inspections and conducting investigations,” said Jimenez. “These activities help ensure commanders have timely and accurate information necessary to make sound decisions.”

Jimenez’s three-year tour in Japan will encompasses the Army’s vast and versatile presence in Okinawa.

“My office is responsible for approximately 1,600 Soldiers,” said Jimenez. “Right now, that office consists of one person: me. I look forward to the challenge knowing that I have an outstanding team at USARJ’s IG office in Camp Zama to support me.”

“For several years, the Army’s IG presence in Okinawa was limited to email, phone calls, teleconferences and monthly TDYs (Temporary Duty) conducted by the USARJ IG office in Camp Zama,” said Army Sgt. Maj. Michael D. Stockdell, USARJ’s senior enlisted advisor for the Office of the Inspector General. “Jimenez will help our command uphold the Army standards in Okinawa by providing a permanent presence, and the IG Community has set him up for success by giving him the tools, training and resources to accomplish the mission.”

In addition to his formal training at the Department of the Army Inspector General School in Ft. Belvoir, Virginia, Jimenez plans to regularly reach out to IG’s subject matter experts and apply his career experience to overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities that await him in Okinawa.

“When I was a first sergeant, I never hesitated to turn to my local IG office for assistance,” said Jimenez. “The team there almost always had a solution or could point me to the people who could provide a potential solution. I can now return the favor by empowering Soldiers to identify problems and work together to develop a fair and effective course of action"

.

Jimenez and his counterparts in Camp Zama look forward to expanding their presence and leave a permanent, positive impact for every Soldier and family member assigned to Japan.

“If at the end of each day I helped at least one Soldier understand and demonstrate what right looks like, then I will consider my mission in Japan a success,” said Jimenez.

#MobileArtistry is creative edits, beautiful images, unique perspectives, stellar shots, and happy accidents. IE, stuff you won't find on the pop page.

Through this ongoing project we hope to expose people to art and artists they may not normally get to see, learn about one another's process, and encourage each other to push the limits of creativity.

Please limit your tags to 2 a day.

For the fastest reply, direct your questions to our admins, @computerjones, @momma2maxh, & @bomb_jack. Thank you.

Tonight's submission is from Geri, aka @gericentonze, lets hear about her process.

Here's the piece (new) that I did for the feature. Since I used to be a sketch card artist my main love is faces done in a painterly fashion. I like to capture candid photos of everyday people I pass on the street as my subjects.

For this image I first cropped it square in Snapseed and then bumped up the detail and tuned it a bit. After that I used PhotoViva on just the background to get rid of details I didn't like and blended it with the Snapseed version using Sketch Club.

Next I took the Snapseed edit and did two different versions using Glaze. I combined the two Glaze images with the Snapseed/PhotoViva image blending and erasing sections of the three layers and saved to my camera roll. The final step was some minor adjustments in Snapseed of the combined image (details bump and white balance). Brief info - I've been on IG since July 31 of this year. All images taken with my iPhone and edited on my iPad.

I would just like to add a thank you to everyone at Mobile Artistry for the feature especially @momma2maxh. I appreciate the IG community and the inspiration and support it provides!

“[Jimenez] is a welcome addition to the USARJ team,” said Pasquarette. “His training and experience will help us resolve problems and improve programs that will enhance relations between the USARJ Community and our Japanese partners.”

According to Army Regulation 20-1, “Inspector General Activities and Procedures,” the IG extends the eyes, ears, voice and conscience of the Secretary of the Army and Chief of Staff of the Army by reporting on the discipline, efficiency, economy, morale, training and readiness of the Army.

“We do this through promoting opportunities, assessing complaints, performing inspections and conducting investigations,” said Jimenez. “These activities help ensure commanders have timely and accurate information necessary to make sound decisions.”

Jimenez’s three-year tour in Japan will encompasses the Army’s vast and versatile presence in Okinawa.

“My office is responsible for approximately 1,600 Soldiers,” said Jimenez. “Right now, that office consists of one person: me. I look forward to the challenge knowing that I have an outstanding team at USARJ’s IG office in Camp Zama to support me.”

“For several years, the Army’s IG presence in Okinawa was limited to email, phone calls, teleconferences and monthly TDYs (Temporary Duty) conducted by the USARJ IG office in Camp Zama,” said Army Sgt. Maj. Michael D. Stockdell, USARJ’s senior enlisted advisor for the Office of the Inspector General. “Jimenez will help our command uphold the Army standards in Okinawa by providing a permanent presence, and the IG Community has set him up for success by giving him the tools, training and resources to accomplish the mission.”

In addition to his formal training at the Department of the Army Inspector General School in Ft. Belvoir, Virginia, Jimenez plans to regularly reach out to IG’s subject matter experts and apply his career experience to overcome the challenges and seize the opportunities that await him in Okinawa.

“When I was a first sergeant, I never hesitated to turn to my local IG office for assistance,” said Jimenez. “The team there almost always had a solution or could point me to the people who could provide a potential solution. I can now return the favor by empowering Soldiers to identify problems and work together to develop a fair and effective course of action"

.

Jimenez and his counterparts in Camp Zama look forward to expanding their presence and leave a permanent, positive impact for every Soldier and family member assigned to Japan.

“If at the end of each day I helped at least one Soldier understand and demonstrate what right looks like, then I will consider my mission in Japan a success,” said Jimenez.

CAMP ZAMA, Japan — For the first time in United States Army history, a member of the Chemical Corps will serve in the Inspector General (IG) ranks.

Army Master Sgt. Elizandro Jimenez, a seasoned chemical operations specialist and U.S. Army Japan’s (USARJ) newest assistant inspector general, took the Inspector General oath at USARJ headquarters in Camp Zama, Japan, July 7, 2016.

“I’ve witnessed many changes during my 15 years of military service,” said Jimenez, a native of El Paso, Texas. “However, one important fact hasn’t changed, and that’s our leaders’ responsibility to take care of their Soldiers. Serving in the Office of the Inspector General puts me in a perfect position to teach, guide and advise my fellow leaders and the Soldiers they command.”

#trending // the @16x9fordays 'project' has been an eye opener. Over 2400 tagged shots in 6 days says something. Greater than the interest in the aspect ratio itself, it says that creativity cannot/should not be limiting. I really dig 16:9 but it's not going to limit me, so there. In the context of Instagram, Robb Thompson @beardofbeez says it well: "The last few weeks I have broken out the slr, wide angle, long lens and filters. I'm more inspired than ever and I don't see why there can't be room in the IG community for it. Just like the 16x9 I think we're all ready for the next step whatever it may be." Read the rest of my thoughts in "Trending" on my blog instagr.am/p/WfovusSZwO/

Feeling a bit sad that Ive felt the need to take down the majority of photos that involve my children. We've managed to get some sicko booted of IG. My fear is that there are similar weirdos out there and keeping themselves private. I don't want to take that risk. Like any parent, I dearly love my children and I am so proud of them and it burns me to think I feel I can't share that! But I will still be posting some of my other stuff.

phoggus: @jannonpics Thanks Jan

_brooklyndragonfli_: Thank you so much for the information I just switched my acct to private. It is unbelievable what goes on.

burgerp: I reported this freak as well. I could not believe he would be so open about it even if he was possibly only joking. It's not a subject any sane person would joke about. @kbh_ I'm also worried when I get likes from young kids as when you see how many people they are following you think how easy it could be for them to follow the wrong person especially the amount of self portraits they take and also what people would think of me if I follow them back. It's so sad that we have to think like this but good that everyone is aware and keeping an eye out to stop these evil people having access to our families. Great photo by the way Phil

phoggus: Cheers Paul. I'm sure he was a sick joke. The upside of course is because of his openess, it's alerted us and reminded us that these real life monsters exist among us. Keep safe my friend

phoggus: @burgerp 

kbelen: @burgerp ....thanks for the support, it was just good to hear all the awareness and outrage on something I had been worried about. Thank you Phil again for speaking out! And thank you and Phil for blowing the whistle on these creeps! Nothing we can do for the children who have accounts but I do think it helps when we all talk about it and let the monsters know we are on the look out!! There are good people on IG like us we will just stand together and continue supporting the good community on IG  take care

mshtal: This is such bad & alarming news to hear. I'm usually very paranoid about sharing personal info & pics of my family in this kind of format. But because of the warmth & friendliness of the people I've met in the IG community I've let my guard down somewhat & posted pics I wouldn't have normally posted of my family. I'm glad I checked out your feed & discovered this. Thank you for letting us know. I've also deleted some posts as you have.

phoggus: @mshtal Its a sorry state of affairs when we feel we have to do this Stay safe

#MobileArtistry is creative edits, beautiful images, unique perspectives, stellar shots, and happy accidents. IE, stuff you won't find on the pop page.

Through this ongoing project we hope to expose people to art and artists they may not normally get to see, learn about one another's process, and encourage each other to push the limits of creativity.

Please limit your tags to 2 a day.

For the fastest reply, direct your questions to our admins, @computerjones, @momma2maxh & @lopez689. Thank you.

Tonight's submission is from Martin, aka @soulhack, let's hear about his process.

I would like to start by saying thanks to Will (@computerjones) from @MobileArtistry for selecting my photo as today's feature. It's a big honour and my first feature in the whole IG community.

As a big Sci-fi geek I draw a lot of inspiration from such movies/books. The title of this edit is Solyaris, which also happens to be an excellent Russian Sci-Fi movie ;). The thing that I love with editing photos on my smartphone is that you have to be a problem solver. Most of the time one photo app is not sufficient for what I want to accomplish with the photo as there isn't an app which have functions that you can do exactly everything with, like Photoshop. I have approximately 20 apps in total and most of the time I use 3-6 apps for an edit depending on what I want to do.

The most important thing for me when I'm editing a photo is to have a lot of patience. There is no excuse to be lazy, you have to try every idea that you get out and if you are not satisfied don't post it! Do a re-edit and try it again until everything feels right.

For this image I used PhotoForge2, Mirrorgram, Lensflare, Photostation, Afterglow and Phonto.

Over the moon in a kind of strange bovine fantasy. The leap seemed utterly impossible until a surprise goose that the old man hadn't counted on stepped in and lifted his spirits as it were. The beautiful nurse had been so helpful, it seemed fitting to share the story. Sadly, the fitting the plumber brought was threaded and left a painful mark that will take some time to heal. The dog figured that out right away but had the wrong papers. Less absorbent, I think.

Do not be fooled! This is bittersweet and NOT success story. Desperate men will do ANYTHING to be out of jail! The justice system is so corrupt and this is their way of keeping from being sued! Now the case has been closed, they pled guilty and justice will never be served. THEY ARE INNOCENT! The real killer will never be caught. { #wm3 #westmemphis3 #news }

elementgrrl: Bet they'll sue. Let's hope they sue

mandyatlarge: @elementgrrl they can't. They pled guilty and they did all of this so they wouldn't be able to get anything out of it.

mandyatlarge: WM3 ARE *ALL* FREE. This should be such a happy day, but I feel such shame, especially with this being so close to home

elementgrrl: Their lives are ruined

mandyatlarge: A DEATH ROW inmate will walk free today after being behind bars for 18 years. They will receive no sort of repercussions for their wrongful imprisonment because of this desperate plea deal in order to be free. They were supposed to have a retrial over new DNA evidence found, but instead the judge, who's career was built on this case, has accepted this deal to cover his own ass... Just in time for election season..

mandyatlarge: What happened to INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty? This makes Casey Anthony's case look like a success story. What a horrible day for Arkansas politics.

213dayday310: Thanx for bein who u are and sharing this story with the IG community. Unfortunately, many people don't believe that this type of injustice remains a current tragedy in modern society. Many of these local stories get swept under the rug, hidden from the public eye and so the monsters continue to grow. Unchallenged. Unaccountable. Unpunished. And free to destroy more lives, while sleeping very comfortably every night. My heart goes out to the 3 victims here, and their families, and their friends.

mandyatlarge: @dayday619 I was born and raised in West Memphis, so I'll never forget this. I remember being little an not getting to go outside or ever be home alone because of this. I now live just minutes from the Jonesboro court house where they were released today. While it's so completely wonderful that they are out, I can't see this as a victory because of this corrupt plea of guilty. Sure, through legal tape, they are able to claim their innocence but to the courts they are guilty and there will never be justice for those poor little boys who were my age when this happened. Makes me very ashamed to be from here. What's important now is that they are free.

Tonight's submission is from Michelle, aka @michelletressa, let's hear about her process. "Behold the allure of your most holy temple, its physical aspects as well as its mental. Find strength in its curves and its paths to hidden pleasures; every whispered breath that lingers, every caress of loving fingers. Your temple is sacred and you alone have its keys, embrace its power and you'll leave them on their knees." ~Michelle 10.26.12

First off, thank you Will @computerjones and Lanie @momma2maxh for this incredible opportunity. I'm extremely humbled. Those who know me know I don't post for the "likes." I post because it's therapeutic and I love it, and for all who have been supporting me through it I'm grateful beyond words. I started a self portrait series recently and am so very thankful for all the kind and generous feedback. I've also been inspired by my sp's to write again so I try to put my own words with a photo when I feel the pull to do so.

Now, on to my process. I'm a simply complex kinda gal so there was really nothing to this ;) 1. Took photo with Camera +

2. Cropped in Snapseed

3. Used noise reduction in PS Express

4. Took the same image to Blender, enlarged it and blended it until I was happy with the placement

5. Took it to Pixlromatic, used Tony film and Pen effect

6. Then back to Pixlromatic, used Ronny film and Skin effect

Voila! Easy peezy lemon squeezy :) I'm a faithful Pixlromatic user, if you couldn't tell and always use it to edit. Like I said, I'm pretty simple. However, I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed creating it, and thank you for giving me this opportunity both @mobileartistry and the IG community. ♥Michelle

michmutters: Good morning @xenophaedja - this is stunning - you've got a really good touch to all your processing. It's never overly done!

xenophaedja: @michmutters thank you very much for thinking/sharing that. It's pretty much a fumble forward proceed, encouraged by the wonderful IG community. Inspired by the sea of talent and creativity around me. ✨

michmutters: @xenophaedja I agree. But you do it VERY well!!! After so long on IG I am finally learning how to use it properly, the communities I want to be a part of and the use of hash tags!

xenophaedja: @michmutters looks like you are on the right track. Be sure to join in on local photowalks. Have fun.

xenophaedja: @michmutters I understand. Give it time and who knows. There are a lot of cool folks whose photos aren't very interesting to me, but they are finding their own ways too. Sharing the discovery process with those on the parallel journey is good. Definitely take care of yourself and avoid those who serve themselves or mean you harm or poor will of any kind.

michmutters: @xenophaedja thanks :) I didn't mean to sound so gripey! I am not. The city I live in is a very little one so it's pretty quiet - few people I come across even know what IG is!!! :0

michmutters: Anyway have a great day and thanks so much !

xenophaedja: @michmutters same here. But through IG, hash tags etc, you may find there are folks around you and be pleasantly surprised. I've certainly been. Good luck.
