Well, the Xmas and New Year festivities are over, we managed just one day of snow, last Friday, the 29th December and since then, bad weather has arrived in the form of 'Storm Eleanor' prevails and we have had a couple of days of heavy rain and high winds, for the UK that is. As my end-of-year Flickr 'Xmas Card', this time around its the second part of the 'Views in Camera' piece, the last was uploaded on August 31st and the scene commenced at a cold and wet Woodhead Tunnel portal, last January, see-
www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/36942529635/
This, follow-up set, is an eclectic miscellany of shots taken between the end of August last year near, after the last video was finished and this one commences in an area just north-east of the centre of the city of Sheffield, close to the River Don in Neepsend, Shalesmoor and Millsands, commencing 3rd September, through to late October last year. The bulk of the 2nd half of the video was shot in the Millsands area of Sheffield on one late, sunny Sunday morning on 15th October and, like much of Sheffield, this area has seen a large down-turn in the once thriving heavy industries over the last 30 or so years. Some of these buildings are still in use, others have been re-used/purposed, and others demolished so this set of pictures is an attempt to grab a a record of what's left, before it goes forever. An earlier review of the desperate scene in Sheffield from the early 1980s to 1990s can be found in Adrian Wynn's great book on the subject, 'A View of Sheffield', published by Pickard Communications in 2007 and is highly recommended for a good view of what the changing scene was like in those days. In addition, Berris Conolly, another local photographer, has two books out, 'River Don, Seventeen Bridges' from views in 1989 & 2009 and 'Sheffield Photographs 1988-2008', published in 2008, see-
The video is in approximately 10 sections and is in chronological order of the 66 images taken and whilst there is some reference to the railways in this second video, most of the material is related, post the 1980s and 1990s changes, with what is still left to photograph from those times. As such this was series was prompted by the book indicated above, Adrian Wynn's book on Sheffield, from pictures taken in the late 1980s and early 1990s and theses provided a location for some of the shots here, to see for myself, how much things had changed over the past 30 years. I was thinking today, whilst gearing up to prepare this narrative, that Adrian has captured some very good historical records of the area which can be seen in the video; this not only being just a record but containing very pointed and stark political comment on those times.
1. Langsett Road. The very first shot can be found in Adrian's book with what was then, a boarded up derelict building next to the Masons Arms with the first of the three boards seen in his shot declaring- 'For Thou Can not Worship Both Money and The Lord. Evil Thatcher. Pension Snatcher' and on the third board, off to the right, 'For God's Sake, Vote Labour'. As the photograph shows here, the area to the right of the Mason's Arms has now been re-developed though the pub is still in the same style, if not in livery. Another obvious change in this, when compared to Adrian's shot in 1990, the 'wires are up', as the Sheffield SuperTram now plies this route along Langsett Road. The red brick section of the building on the right was where the first painted caption declared the choices between money and the Lord...
2. Burgoyne Road. These shots were taken whilst moving south-east along Langsett Road and this is another of the pictures which features in Adrian's book. The site is now bereft of the St. Bartholomew's Church which at the time of the 1989 picture was stood at the bottom of the road with, behind it then, the towering edifice of one of the Neepsend gas holders with folk atop the then popular 'Sheffield Ski Slope' visible. The church at that time was in the process of being demolished and so the gas holder was easy to see; since then, a year or so ago, that gasholder has now also been demolished and the Sheffield Ski Slope has also gone, gutted by fire a few years ago; the land is currently being considered for redevelopment into another sports facility. As a tribute to the old church, on the left at the side of the white Mercedes hatchback, stands the St. Bartholomew's Church centre.
3. Love Street. Moving towards the River Don and an area centred on one of Adrian's pictures taken on 'Love St', the street itself still extant and still with many old buildings around it, though from the look of some of them now; their time must be coming soon. The John & Matthew Woollens building can be seen in the third shot on the right, 'Bone Cutters' by all accounts but that went out of business as long ago as 1874 after which it became a Signage business run by one of the Woollens family, Edwin James, from Rotherham. The 2nd of the 3 'Love St' pictures shows the one most corresponding to Adrian's shot of the 'Cherry Flan' cafe which stood on the corner where the railings mark the edge of the car park. In his picture from 1992 and in this one, the still extant and thriving, Sheffield Workhouse, now called 'Mayfair Court', with many a flat up for sale within... also known as 'the Doss House' it was built in 1908 for single, down-and-out men... Also in the 2nd picture, some 'wag', has put up a poster for 'The Lady Boys' from Bangkok, appearing in Sheffield from time-to-time, this for two weeks at the end of November, 2015. To the left of the 'Lady Boys' sign is the land once occupied by the Britannia Works which were off to the left of the 'Cherry Flan' in Adrian's picture but the works are featured elsewhere in his book. The last shot of the 3, looks back along 'Lurve Street' and shows the 'new builds' which have gone up here-abouts behind the old 'Woollens Signs' building.
4. Well Meadow Street. Another series of shots prompted by one of Adrian's pictures, this time its the area around Well Meadow Street and this has changed, and is still changing, significantly. Adrian's picture in 1992, had its own pastel, colourful feal to it, taken in flat light and the 1st picture here, of a set of 9, reflects less of that feel but at least the buildings are being renovated and the view, apart from the 'yellow' roller door in the earlier picture, is pretty much the same; the roller door was at the bottom of the road where now palisade fence has been erected. Already on the lower right, some of the buildings have been let out with the area at the top of the street having been redeveloped into flats. The houses on the left which were actually derelict by 1992 with the windows boarded up, are finally being renovated; its good to see this happening where its still possible to retain the old history of the place. The second shot shows a closer view where the yellow roller door into the works of Samuel Peace & Sons Ltd. once stood, the area has now been opened out though the fence is a rather ugly replacement. The 3rd, 4th & 5th shots show the view up Well Meadow Street, which here runs parallel to Netherthorpe Road, and looks towards the new student accommodation near the large intersection at Western Bank and the University of Sheffield. The 6th shot looks back along the full length of the redevelopment with more graffiti'd hoardings up on the left, in preparation for more land to be given over to student accommodation and such like. In the 7th shot, the wooden canvasses erected around derelict land along Brownell Street, are an ideal location for the graffiti artists to have a field-day with their tagging and in some respects it does brighten up an otherwise glum area. The last 2 in the set of 9 at this location look back from the other side of the palisade fence seen earlier, and now on the site of the old Samuel Peace & Sons Ltd. Steel & File manufacturers; the University Arts Tower is in the background looking up Meadow Well Street once more. The final shot, to confirm where we are, with the presence of the camera, and me I guess, attracting some suspicion from the owners of the 'Hot Chilli' food establishment, who were clearly concerned about what was going on, until I explained what it was all about, and showed them, a copy of Adrian's 'A View of Sheffield', which resulted in them being highly interested in same picture from 1992. A link to more information about this important area and its conservation, can be found here-
www.sheffieldhistory.co.uk/forums/topic/7358-well-meadow-...
5. Cornish Street. In the same year, Adrian photographed the area closer to the River Don and the next 4 shots show the current scene along Cornish Street, Neepsend, it too not having changed much in layout since the earlier picture from 1992. There has however, been a good deal of 'tidying up' undertaken when compared to the derelict scene which pervaded many places in Sheffield in the 1980s and early 1990s. Serendipitously again, as walking along the street to find the same view as the earlier picture, and some 'interest' came along in the form of 'woman and child on bike', peddling along away from the river behind us, with the George Barnsley & Sons works, 'the world’s largest producer of files and cutting tools for the shoemaking industry', over on the right. Again, in Adrian's 1992 picture, the building was already in a sorry looking state with windows on the ground floor boarded up and the street and pavements looking worse than they do here. The house ahead of the cyclist at that time was also boarded up but now it has been re-opened and that area, right next to the river is looking, once more, to be on the up-and-up. The chimney stack in the background is now part of Cornish Place and from Wikipedia-
'...The building was formerly the factory of James Dixon & Sons, a Britannia metal, Sheffield plate and Cutlery manufacturer. In the late 1990s the disused building was cleaned and converted into apartments, it is regarded as the most impressive cutlery works that still stands in Sheffield[1] and rivals the cotton mills of Lancashire and the West Riding in terms of architectural quality and heritage. The most impressive parts of the building are the east and west ranges which have Grade II* listed status while the rest of the works have the lower Grade II rating. The 'Cornish' in the buildings name is thought to derive from the manufacture of Britannia metal which is made up of 93% tin which came from Cornwall...'
Moving around the corner and the state of the main building can be seen in the next 3 of the 4 pictures taken here. There are also further details about George Barnsley & Sons', here-

6. Bardwell Street. Not far away, and venturing closer to the railway in this part of the town, the next 5 pictures are centred around the Bardwell Street area and this road passes along under the MSLR's line form Sheffield Victoria, via Woodhead, to Manchester Piccadilly or, it did once! The first of the 5 pictures shows the well graffiti'd building which was once occupied by the Cannon Brewery and is now set to become ... more student accommodation; though the process seems a little slow. The next shot of the 5 reflects the one most closely resembling Adrian Wynn's shot, one of the oldest in his book and taken in 1982 and in his shot, being 1982, the Woodhead line is electric overheads are still present, complete with cables, but not for very much longer. Some of the buildings along Bardwell Street have also been demolished so it was difficult to get this shot exactly correct, the two camera lenses were also of somewhat differing focal length. The older picture was taken with at a wider focal length with the camera further along the road towards the railway over-bridge; this I didn't do as all the detail would then have been missed out due to the demolition of the buildings on the left in the present picture. There are still lots of identifiable features between 1982 and this, taken in October last year, 35 years apart, the arch of the MSLR's railway bridge being just visible at the end of the wall of the building on the right. The line formation is now of course overgrown with birch trees along its sides, but with the single line to Deepcar still present and in use, carrying the nightly steel train from the Aldwarke steelworks for rolling at Stocksbridge Works. Graffiti tag'ers have been out and about again, festooning the derelict parts of buildings with their bright artwork and with the 'House Skate Park', just around the corner near the black car, opposite the old Canon Brewery building, the Skating building also suitably decorated, see the shots in the end-of-last-year video, here-
www.flickr.com/photos/daohaiku/24276897661/
and the last of the 5 pictures in this series. The last two pictures of the 5 are taken from close to the indoor, 'House Skate Park' at the end of Bardwell Street and the line of the MSLR's Woodhead route can be clearly seen, being demarked by the line of tree-growth, marching up the 1-in-100 slope to the left and up towards Woodhead Tunnel. The panorama in the last of the 5 shots shows the end of Bardwell Street, now Road of course, in Neepsend with House Skate Park on the right, with its colourful outside adornments and yet more derelict buildings on the left. It seems devastating removal of old industry in and around Sheffield has left a nightmare of a problem for the planners to find a new use for, particularly the vast spaces of land these firms once used to occupy on the periphery of the town and closer to the centre, old Victorian buildings which also be dealt with, in one way or another; usually by demolition and re-use.
7. Burnaby Street. Another five shots taken on the bank up to Walkley and once more reflecting a shot taken by Adrian in his book 'A View of Sheffield - pictures from 1982-1992', this one taken in 1982 on Burnaby Street when much of this area was being re-developed on a grand scale to renew time-expired, and unwanted, 1960s housing. It took a while to try and get the angle exactly correct with respect to the 1982 which features, along with a single house being demolished in the centre foreground, the still extant U-shaped block of flats at Regent Court, painted white and right next to the River Loxley which flows into the River Don at Hillsborough. From the angle of the shadow of the northern-most, left, section of the 'U' shaped structure, I walked along the top of the bank until the angle matched and these 5 shots show the change in fortunes of the whole area since Adrian took his picture in 1982. The scene in the background of the 5 pictures looks over northwards towards Owlerton and Wadsley Bridge and the line of the Woodhead Route, the Stocksbridge Branch as it now exists. The 3rd and 4th of the five pictures is clearly getting closer but in Adrian's shot, the end of the U-shaped building has its 'top' facing the camera so clearly this shot isn't quite far enough along to the north. These pictures pan around to the north-east a little and reveal the hill rising to the Ski Slop area on the far right at Parkwood Springs but still the angle isn't quite right. The last of the shots, in my view, is just about spot-on. The end of the white Regent Court building is now facing directly towards the camera and at a realistically good angle down the bank towards the building; the re is even a somewhat similar house in the centre foreground, not in the process of being demolished, which doesn't look unlike the style of the one in the 1982 picture. This last picture was taken on the steps leading down to Hammerton Close from Lonsdale Lane withing spitting distance of Burnaby Street. The woodland in the left background of this picture are on the outliers of Beeley and Great Hollins Wood which runs on the north side of the Stocksbridge branch line through Middlewood and Oughtibridge and on through Wharncliffe Side to Deepcar and the exchange sidings at Ellen Wood which allows steel stock to be taken into the Samuel Fox steelworks at Stocksbridge.
8. Graffiti Millsands Area. Another derelict site on a fast-filling out area right next to the river at Millsands, a colourful extravaganza of graffiti tagging art which will be liked and hated in equal measure. This is a series of 18 shots taken at the derelict building site which sat amidst a plethora of old industrial businesses which were also festooned about the Sheffield area.. Here, this site was in and surrounded by- the Eclipse Patent Roof Glazing Works, the Don Confectionary Works, Millsands Forge & Rolling Mills, next to the river of course, and the Eclipse Lantern Works; Eclipse being, I guess the outfit that still makes hack saw blades. The artworks/tags here are set about a site which at this time during the middle of October, was still resplendent with Buddleia and other vegetation which, along with the still extant signage form past uses and the red brickwork, all conspired to make a garden scene with the paraphernalia of Sheffield's continued re-development, rising in the background. And this can be seen to good effect in the last shot in the series of 18 where a local heads towards the river with the old Eclipse Lantern Works behind her to the left and the Eclipse Glazing works off on the far left; the Lantern Works have now been partly taken over by car rental firm, EuropCar. I enjoyed photographing this area and liked the feel which was brought about by the combination of all the elements, old and new, constructed or natural and with the added bonus of reminders of past 'do's and dont's'...
9. The River Don Area. From the Graffiti on Bridge St. to the River at Millsands and yet more iconic buildings, with the odd hark back to the past once again, taken from Adrian Wynn's book. Almost the last picture in that book, taken looking towards the old Bridgehouses Goods depot, see-
www.disused-stations.org.uk/s/sheffield_bridgehouses/
west of the then closed Sheffield Victoria Station, is somewhat reflected in the 1st of the set of 18 pictures here, taken walking along the riverside and back. This first of 3, rendered in B/W, showing the Aizlewood Mill, with the Victoria Station site in the background, shows the changes in just over 30 years, the most noted changes being the closure of Victoria Station and the complete removal of the Bridgehouses Goods Depot, part of one of the goods depot buildings pokes into the picture of Adrian's, taken in 1986; the land on which the Goods Depot was located is still up for sale. The 2nd of the 3 shots shows a wider view along the river with, in turn, the Harlequin Public House, which the GCRS uses for their Sheffield meetings, the Aizlewood Mill and beyond that, the 'New Testament Church of God' building. At far left, the green bridge, installed when the Sheffield ring road was built, carries the now single line through the Victoria Station site, up to Deepcar; a set of arches which comprise the Wicker Arches, march off towards the right from the bridge. The last of the first three in the set of 18, is a close up of the old and new bridges, the older one carrying the lines to the north-west and just above this bridge deck is the northern portal of the Spittal Hill Tunnel, see-
www.flickr.com/photos/134774261@N07/33357890945
which carried 'Fiery Jack', the shunting locomotive with its 4 wagons between the Midland's Wicker Station, off to the right near the tall background building, and at this end, connecting with the MSLR's line to Manchester. The 1986 picture in Adrian Wynn's book, due to the complete lack of vegetation around the station site in those days, clearly shows the western portal of the tunnel, just under the Bridgehouses Goods building awning. After this, further views along the river from Nursery St., a close-up of the splendid Aizlewood Mill followed by Riverside House and then a view looking towards the railway bridge over the main road at Wicker. Following on from that, a short tour of the splendid structures which stand at the side of the River Don and the Upper Don Walk; the first showing the scene crossing Blonk St. bridge and looking towards Lady's Bridge and West Bar with the Exchange Brewery, occupied by the Tennant Brothers at one stage and with, in the 1960s and 1970s, that distinctive odour of fermenting hops, pervading the air in this area. Looking the other way, east towards Attercliffe and in the background on the arches, the Midland Main line passes over the River Don with the red-brick Victoria Hotel just beyond the white pedestrian bridge. A B/W rendition follows showing the scene looking past the Holiday Inn Express and the road up to the old Victoria Station site which is now blocked from view, taken in August 2017. Immediately following this shot, a very similar shot taken on my old Praktika film camera during the Sheffield Rag week 'goings on' in mid-September, 1968; the whole of the area then was open to view up to the Victoria Station site with Victoria Station Road running along the back beneath the series of black poster awnings; only the far left one having anything pasted on it... maybe 'SAVE OUR STATION'! The Effingham St gasometer is in the background and the square chimney close to the station site can be seen and this artifact is still in-situ today. The general state and mess the River Don was in at this time can be easily seen and its not clear to me whether it was a good idea wallowing around in the filth that was terms a river; much has changed since this time of course and now the River Don is 'clear as a bell'. The means of access, for those in the 'Rag Week Boat Race', can be seen and as I recall, this was my last picture here before heading off and delivering the goods, i.e. all the money I had collected for the 1968 Rag Week Magazine, full of useful venue information, advertising and to be frank, shear filth in terms of the cartoon jokes! Moving back along Castlegate now at the other side of the river and the splendid buildings on the eastern side of the river come into view, this glorious red/grey brick edifice at either side of Lady's Bridge was
Castle House but is now, partly, 'Cut Price Carpets' complete with 21st century appendage, a satellite dish; neglecting that, didn't the Victorians do well! The weir at Lady's Bridge is next, looking back towards the Victoria Station site and this one, for me, is very appealing in its colour and grandeur. Now on the opposite side of the river to earlier, some of the less impressive structures, still extant, one with square chimney, a soupçon of graffiti and green metal window frames. The 'New Testament Church of God Family Life Centre' now occupies a building not far from its rather impressive church, with two folk sat chatting over 'stuff' alongside the slowly flowing water of the Don; a beautiful scene. And, lastly is this almost final set, the camera now points once more across the river to the Aizlewood Mill on the right and the The Harlequin Freehouse on the left and under normal circumstance, that's where I would have headed next except there was a further shot I thought it worthwhile attempting to take to complete this second series of the 'Views in Camera'.
10. Rutland Road. Parkwood Springs. Unfortunately, the shot I had anticipated taking, from the site of the old Neepsend Engine Shed just off Rutland Road, which in the past had been easily accessible by walking across a piece of open ground, had now been completely taken over by a new-build industrial building and not only that, the space was all nicely palisaded off, the building occupying the whole of the space. This was just behind the camera in this final shot and, as luck would have it, on the other side of the road, 'there's a picture there', flashed straight into mind as a building on Botsford St., just a 'stones-throw' north of the M.S.L.R.'s now single line formation to Deepcar, was in view and with suitable brick-work, graffiti and blue van, probably makes a better picture than the rather mundane one I was thinking of showing just a set of rails disappearing towards the Sheffield Victoria site! Some heavy gradient filtering required in this one as the sun continued in full throttle and the shadows split the scene in half still, a worthy piece to end this 2nd of the 'Views in Camera' Video...
Although I have used as reference, 'A View of Sheffield, pictures 1982-1992' and this has been useful, there are many more images from this period in Adrian's book which speaks of the enormous changes which were taking places in Sheffield in the 1980s and 1990s and I can only recommend this for further viewing; the half dozen or so 'Then' pictures which I have used as reference, reflecting on a small portion of that 35 years ago vista.
A very Happy New Year to all interested views, many thanks for the comments and information provided over the last year, appreciate it all and am looking forward to a new, but maybe differently-accented, 2018...

There is so much stuff that needs to be linked to this that the fancy thing from before really did not work. This should do the trick (I hope).
The media consumption experience is poised to transform, and fast. Technologies that have been tinkered with for years, ranging from virtual and augmented reality to sensors and robotics, are finally on the tipping point of mass commercialization. As the physical and digital worlds converge, how will these technologies shape how people interact with digital media?
On November 18, 2014, NYC Media Lab and Razorfish hosted the second occasion of Future Interfaces, an evening "science fair" on the future of human-computer interaction and digital media. More than 300 guests came to go hands-on with 30 demos from startups and universities to see what's on the verge of commercialization, what’s still in the lab, and what advances will change the nature of media and communications in the future.

Our first design work went public last week. More here.
This isn't quite the interface that launched recently, but it's one of our final design prototypes. We ended up taking out the sparklines and pagination controls and changed a few labels. It came out really nice, though.

* Part Two, taken just before leaving on Sunday, it is 1min 49s long, so video can be watched within the Flickr interface.
Back on Sunday 15th November for more shots of the progress which has been made since the early morning, Wednesday 11th November, derailment of a freight train, traversing the rails along platform 1, one of the main passenger platform for main and local down, away from London, trains. A heavy cement train from Castleton, Earles' Sidings in the Hope Valley, had derailed on exiting from the station along platform 1 at around 02:45 that morning. It was the 6E91 working to Dewsbury Blue Circle, with Freightliner class 66, 66603, at the front hauling a rake of 34 full PCA tank wagons, 16 of which had derailed with one having turned over completely; this is the one standing right at the end of platform 1, seen in the videos seen here. The video is in two parts, the first 20 shots are those from the 11th, 8 of which were show as still pictures here-
www.flickr.com/photos/vinc2020/50590200841/
and here-
www.flickr.com/photos/vinc2020/50590200516/
At that time, late morning, a lot of Network Rail staff were present and were having a 'jolly good look' at the situation presented to them, now 8 hours after the event took place; Freightliner 66603 was at the front and halted on the Nunnery Main Junction and visible below in the hole in the Broad Street tunnel. Serendipitously, a blue/red striped cement truck passes along Sheaf Street right next to the toppled PCA wagon, the driver presumably blithely unaware of what was happening to his material, over the other side of the wall! The second part, the still taken last Sunday morning in very windy, but warmish conditions for the time of year, shows the progress made in 4 days and, more to the point, the mess which was made by such a relatively minor/moderate mishap. In addition, it appears that this set of points were replaced quite recently and there is a 10m.p.h. speed limit for passes along the line into the Shrewsbury Road tunnels; the R.A.I.B. will be looking at this as well as other aspects to determine what caused the incident and the ensuing disruption to passenger and other freight services which had to be cancelled or re-routed in the area for the rest of last week. The views here aptly demonstrate the kind of 'hands-on', heavy industrial type work, which has to be carried out in any weather or conditions and with the ever presence of danger close by. I personally feel it is to the Rail Network's credit that this is performed in a timely, serious, considered manner and any complaining which is done, and I have ready some about the speed at which clearance has taken place, should just step-back and look at what is involved for the best and safe outcome. The rails were replaced to a large extent by yesterday, so I understand, I haven't been back to look, but that's a week of whole and partial disruption, no-one being injured or killed and with the minimum of fuss about how good B.R. was; the past is a different country! Following this on the next day or so, both halves of the wagons which were still on the rails, one set at the front behind the lead loco, 66603 and another set at the back, sat along platform one, were disconnected leaving the centre section of derailed wagons with one toppled over, in-situ. The rear ones, maybe around 12, were taken back to Earles Sidings using a light engine move from there to connect up to the rear and move the undamaged set away back along the Hope Valley. The re-railed ones remaining were eventually also moved and were shunted into the Station Washer sidings and can these be seen in the video in two short rakes right, about 7 in all, next to the Shrewsbury Road tunnels. The front section, maybe 8 or 9, full PCAs, eventually continued on their designated path to the Blue Circle Cement Works at Dewsbury. The depressed centre PCA Bulk Cement wagons, tare weight is around 13 tonnes and when filled with 37 tonnes of material results in the toppled tank wagon, #10756, weighing around 50 tonnes, so 37 tonnes of cement had to be pumped out before the wagon could be moved, the timing load for this move was 2000 tonnes. By Tuesday this week, all looked normal(ish) on the track diagram and services appeared to be coming and going including the normal reversal on US1, Up Slow 1, between platforms 5 and 6 of the Tuesday RHTT, 3S12 inwards and 3S13, the diagram to Gainsborough back out. Last Wednesday, due to the stop on traffic into the station, the RHTT ran a series of 3Zxx workings, the early morning run, 3Z11, from York Thrall, reversing in the Brightside Sidings and then heading back out, 3Z12, on a circular route north and back to Woodburn Junction where, for the first, and only, time it came along the Stocksbridge Branch to give the rails up there a bit of a clean. See these, first at Neepsend on the way north-

The bright and very breezy Sunday produced some very colourful shots both outside and inside on the station platforms where access, with adherence to the Covid-19 rules was in place, thankfully, was un-stressful, though there were hardly any folk about other than the occasional dozen or so getting off the Intercity services on platform 8. The high reach crane, brought in and parked on Sheaf Street where the road was under a closure all day Sunday, looks to be taking charge of the heavy ironmongery shifting, bringing in sleepers, track panels ans other stuff, over the Sheaf Street Wall. As has been pointed out, the River Sheaf flows beneath the station here in a large culvert and it actually passes under near where the derailment took place. Some investigation will presumably reveal it wasn't a collapse of any part of this which caused the track to buckle and the wagons to hit the ballast, one more dramatically than the rest! There were various parked up sets of Northern stock, a class 195, 195024 on Up Slow 2, class 170, 170476 on Up Slow 1, a class 153, 153317, on Down Slow 2 and class 195 on Down Slow 1, seen from the footbridge and a class 153, 153331, in the Washer Sidings next to the parked up PCA tanks. A couple of passenger moves also came and went, the first was an East Midland Railways HST set arriving from the north and coming in slowly, it had just traversed the Sheaf Street Tunnel, along platform 6 to pause for passengers, this was the 1C43, Leeds via Sheffield Platform 6 to St. Pancras International passenger service with 43314 at the front and 43316 at the back; a rainbow illuminates the top floor of the Parkhill Flats in the background and scrap material can be seen in the spent waste train wagons in the foreground. The shot looking over to platform 8 was the rear of the EMR train comes into view, sees Northern class 170, 170476 on the Up Slow 1 line, the EMR rear power car, 43316 and poking out behind the 'Sheffield' running in board, a Northern class 158, 158861 on platform 8 awaits passage out of the station to the east on the 2P14 service to Lincoln Central, usually using the lower numbered platforms, it has been forced to use 1 of the only 2 in service, 6 and 8. Freightliner 66953 is thrumming away on bay platform 3A with its train of spoil and a light engine move, 66601, will come in later to haul the whole north to Doncaster on the 6Y75, Sheffield to Doncaster Down Decoy spent materials train. Having grabbed as many shots on the station site which I deemed appropriate it was time to move off and so, leaving the station I walked back alongside the high wall, finally standing on the step-ladder and poking the camera over the wall at the Tram stop near the station covered footbridge. Grabbing what was thought to be the last 2 or 3 shots, a complete surprise came along in the form of an orange/yellow Colas loco, having not bothered to see what was on offer that morning, I had no idea that the late running, fortunately by 90 minutes at the outset, 'MENTOR' test train was in the area and would be passing through and set to be held for 20 minutes at Sheffield's S0077 signal just outside the station. In the event it picked up some time on the way up from Derby and arrived outside the station 48 minutes late, but then wasn't held at the signal and passed along platform 8 at 11:49. This is the 'canary yellow, 'MENTOR', 'Mobile Electrical Network Testing, Observation and Recording' train with Colas class 67, 67027, 'Charlotte' at the front and 67023, 'Stella' at the rear; the next 7 shots show the progress of this, slowly along platform 8 on the 1Q19, Derby R.T.C. to Heaton T&R.S.M.D. working. Jolly glad it set off 101 minutes late or else I wouldn't have been here to see this, which I haven't done for a long time. Just as it is passing into the Sheaf Street tunnels, a Sheffield Supertram rattles past on the tracks outside the station, this one, unit #101, heading to Malin Bridge from Herdings Park. The final traction move appears just as the Ainscough crane prepares to hoist some new railhead over the wall, heading from the north through the right portal of the Sheaf Street Tunnels and heading along platform 8, just after the Colas Rail test train cleared out of the way, is a Cross Country Trains class 220, 220018 at the front with class 221, 221128 at the back on the 13 station stop, 5 hours, 1V54, Newcastle via Sheffield Platform 8 to Bristol Temple Meads passenger service. The final shot shows the new rail having been secured and its now on its way to form a new section of the damaged track from derailed freight train last Wednesday in the early hours of the morning.

Engine Room
Watertight door aft from the utility room opens to a large, well finished, bright, self-ventilating engine room. The John Deere engines were the last series of mechanical (not electronic) made in the US. The vessel is designed to run off either engine or both. Cruise speed on either continuous duty John Deere is approximately 8.2-8.4 knots. Cruise while running on both engines is 9.2. The difference in fuel consumption is 4.7gph vs 9.4gph at 1800 rpm.. There is twin disc transmission; 2:1 reduction gear. A cooling pump on each engine allows continuous cooling to the off engine. The engines are 20 degrees off centerline that that the handling of the vessel is not compromised while running on a single engine.
Special consideration was given to systems like the air condition and refrigeration. They are operated by continuous duty pool pumps and there are 2 for redundancy. Forethought allows for such things as engine removal with large hatches opening to the master stateroom. The holding tank is a "septic" system holding 250-300 internally macerated gallons and not requiring vents (eliminating odors), but additionally has pumpout capability.
Generous spare parts for engines and gensets including raw water pumps, impellers, zincs.

Additional Comments
M/V Sand Pebble is 55x20 but her voluminous interior space belies her small ship capabilities. The seakeeping ability of this vessel has been proven in her 25,000 miles of South Pacific cruising. With the knowledge and experience of decades of sailing, the owners were able to customize a proven design for all world cruising comforts. The owners having been professionally in the furniture building business resulted in fine teak cabinetry and joinery including rounded corners and edges and enabled them to add aesthetics and practical design to their bluewater ship. M/V Sand Pebble recently arrived from the South Pacific via Transport ship for the purpose of sale. She is in excellent condition and would be near impossible to replicate; however, duplication in a larger sistership is what the owners plan to do upon sale of their beloved yacht. M/V Sand Pebble is ready to go - anywhere!
As I was heading home from work today I was desperately searching for the daily shot when this reflection caught my eye. I thought I was after the reflection with the osprey nest, but when I saw this natural bifurcation, I was smitten.

The media consumption experience is poised to transform, and fast. Technologies that have been tinkered with for years, ranging from virtual and augmented reality to sensors and robotics, are finally on the tipping point of mass commercialization. As the physical and digital worlds converge, how will these technologies shape how people interact with digital media?
On November 18, 2014, NYC Media Lab and Razorfish hosted the second occasion of Future Interfaces, an evening "science fair" on the future of human-computer interaction and digital media. More than 300 guests came to go hands-on with 30 demos from startups and universities to see what's on the verge of commercialization, what’s still in the lab, and what advances will change the nature of media and communications in the future.

Whoa. Where did the game go? Oh yeah, behind all of these bars and buttons. Sometimes being a healer is strange business.
This project was born when I got really bored at work one day, staring at the monitor with the monitor staring back at me, slightly envious that I had a face. So, I kindly designed him one and apparently he didn't like it very much. I've been trying to win his approval ever since.

A 'police support officer' (cheap cop) checks on a vagrant early one morning in Brighton, UK.
I do like this photo for all it says about the world today. I hope the vagrant is being dealt with sensitively, I hope the man finds somewhere to stay and manages to rebuild his life somehow. I hope. But the odds are against him I feel.
meta_creation lab: inter-actors, attractors and the aesthetics of complexity

A collaborative workshop interfacing movement art practices, digital creativity, portable computation and networked systems.
This workshop is a collaborative lab to creatively explore the contemporary approaches, practices and aesthetics of self organization and of complex systems within the dynamic couplings of mind, body and information/data flows.
This workshop is an open space for experimentation and inquiry within a well defined theoretical/aesthetic frame and open space format: the participants self-organize in different node projects (collaborative and flexible groups) in order to investigate and deploy bottom-up architectures as compositional prototyping strategies and processes. It explores interactivity plus generativity.
An embodied/distributed cognition approach is used to generate physical activities and games, guided discussions/conversations about relevant artists works and concepts exploring the aesthetic of complex systems and emergence.
Open source technologies and methodologies will be explored in combination with composition in real-time.
Inter and trans-disciplinary explorations are encouraged and diversity is the main asset.
Several nodes of research projects are suggested:
Sampling, recombinations and mashups
New Internet technologies (web 2.0) and collaborative creation
Post-pc technologies apps, tablets and mobile technologies
Life logging and creative process
Media Capturing and Real time processing
Bottom-up architectures of generative systems
Hybrid realities and alternative sites
Portable cameras and video production
Online video and video straming
Cloud/social computing
Locative media/Mobile
Performance, rule systems and algorithms.
Computer aided choreography
Portable hardware as interfaces/interactive media control
Social media for distributed creativity and knowledge production
Networked documentaries/storytelling.

The interfaces that lead us into cyberspace prove that one cannot detach technology from desire. Digital technologies promise to transcend familiar reality and to connect us to the paradise that reality has taken from us. Down with the detours and delays of reality: let us have instant gratification! What we cannot have in reality, we can have via the fantasy screen. As a “consensual hallucination” cyberspace would be the utopic, new ideal world.
Interface Fantasy: A Lananian Cyborg Ontology – Andre Nusselder
In the virtual world of Second Life, where status is often accrued by having the best collection of sexually appealing avatars, desire and its ultimate physical endpoint, sex (or in this case cybersex), prevails. Cybersex is “more than role play it is the creation of a shared fantasy.” Avatars are hollow – avatars are pure, avatars are clean, avatars have no orifices. They do not leak, shit, sweat, rot – there is no inconvenience to their bodies. And if an avatar has no orifices then sex in Second Life is safer than in real life – the user is “freed from the burden of the body.” Many criticisms have been levelled at Second Life for its high number of sex, porn and exotic dance Sims. Contemporary art critic and curator Domenico Quaranta said of in world existence, “life revolves around the banal repetition of real-life rituals (having sex, going dancing, and attending parties, openings and conferences) and the same principles: private property, wealth and consumption.” As the promotional video for dedicated cybersex virtual world “The Red Light Center” attests, “Be who you want to be…without the hassle”. Cybersex or ‘getting off online’, in Second Life is a form of immersive role play – a mixed reality happening in that it more often than not, one could imagine, elicits physical action in its users offline.
Whilst filming the “sex-scene” for this work my mind flickered between the ridiculousness of two digital bodies’ glitching against each other and the surreal feeling that behind that bunch of pixels a real person is operating and text chatting or, somewhat disturbingly, perhaps even masturbating. In the end I created two avatars – one my own and one an idealised male – and operated them both simultaneously using two computers to create the desired film output for projection. It was quite fitting as in the end, playing dolls, are we not just virtually fucking ourselves anyway? Can we really create intimacy in these new manufactured spaces?

Colorful bands of algae and diatoms in the Great Salt Lake, Utah.
The hypersaline lake covers 1,700 square miles but has a maximum depth of about 35 feet. It’s typically 3 to 5 times saltier than the ocean and fish free. The phytoplankton blooms in January followed by several species of diatoms.
The subject of Puzzle 44, this is a photo from the air. For the flickrcaching crew, here is a movie of an “extreme telephoto” zoom into the nearby stadium.
