Truly awesome as all this kit, knowhow and skill was, traditional skills were called on for the finishing touches.
After the concrete had been thoroughly vibrated in and settled half a dozen bucketfuls extra were needed. They were shovelled out from the waste skip shown earlier and lifted 'up top' by muscle and pulley.

The Tormach 4-axis CNC is a powerful, affordable, low maintenance CNC machine. It can cut some fairly high precision parts at high speed with little error. It takes a decent bit of programming and some solid machining knowhow to get perfect results but it's well worth it.
TechShop brought me on to teach their CNC classes a few months ago and I jumped at the opportunity. As part of my duties I used the machine as much as possible, figuring out bugs, making projects to show off, gathering material for class, and generally showing people how the whole process is done. I made these as a testament to what can be done with some CNC operations and a little hand work.
I machined the eyepieces out of a set of Ferris machinist wax blocks which were then cast in bronze. Each eyepiece has a flat cap made with the same method. The lenses are laser cut 2way mirror plexiglass from Tap Plastics. The nose bridge was milled from a bar of solid brass using the 4th axis attachment.

I made all of my existing Flickr content Private/Friends this afternoon and am starting from scratch (as far as the public is concerned). I also wore a tie to work today, as seen above. I'm making some changes in my personal life as well as my photography.
I am in a learning state. I am trying to do things with some technical knowhow. I have a long ways to go in both my personal life and the photography realm. I want to be the best that I can be at both...
There is a long road ahead of me in both aspects. However, I am always intrigued by challenges and this one is no different....
When will I get where I am going?! Who knows?! I don't even know where I am going but I know I can't stay where I am at. Things are good mood wise in my life but there are other aspects that need improvement, organization, and to be drastically simplified... These same needs apply to my approach to photography...
So, here goes... Photography is obviously about light. Capturing it, manipulating it, and viewing it. This is a journey into lighting and post processing... I'm prepared for failed attempts but am most looking forward to my successes...

Bear with me, while I explain how these Scottish truck drivers found themselves delivering equipment to an oil drilling ship here at Las Palmas.
Since the the oil price plunge of 2014-2016 - the biggest drop in oil prices in modern history - primarily caused by an oversupply in the market, most oil majors and prospectors found themselves in an uneconomically viable situation.
Over capacity in oil production and especially in oil exploratory drilling forced many of the mega expensive drilling ships to have their drilling contracts forestalled, or at the end of their existing contracts to find no new work.
These ships were being contracted at wild, but necessary prices of up to $500,000 per day, due to huge mortgages on the ships and their initial building costs.
(I believe the most expensive example's building cost was the Billion dollar plus 'Stena Icemax'. See here: flic.kr/p/RZ5QJr )
So, much oil exploration work was being undertaken on the West African coast, and across the Atlantic, offshore Brazil.
As the drilling ships became unemployed, the necessity of finding a suitable, large, deep-water port to keep them safely moored in, and with a pleasant climate to prevent corrosion and humidity damage, and that is where Las Palmas found itself to be the ideal location, at the 'crossroads' of the Atlantic.
In addition, the port has long established and experienced shipyards with specialist engineers and technicians.
The port quickly found itself in great demand for the laid up ships, and as an economic boost, there were lucrative mooring fees, tug requirements, stores, and large engineering projects to be had.
The drilling ships (& oil rigs) require ongoing maintenance and often, modifications to suit each specific drilling contract, both before and after completion.
The 'northern oil capital of Europe' is Aberdeen in Scotland and thus, specialist knowhow, equipment and hauliers are based there.
The result being a regular stream of heavy duty trucks, not least those of Grampian Continental haulage, picking up and delivering equipment to the ships, from all over Europe.
A former, regular driver, and Las Palmas visitor, for Grampian was Rab Lawrence, a well known contributor to Flickr, and a sometime correspondent of mine, although our paths never directly crossed.
Here are a few of his compatriots waiting to have their truck loads discharged, before having to catch the circa 36 hour ferry back to Huelva, or Cadiz, in southern Spain.

On the 22, 23 and 24 of March was the last edition of the movie festival curious travelers. During that event Open Sources highjack the design and run with the team of the festival "Curieux Voyageurs" in order to produce the energy required for the documentaries projections.
The festival team entrust Open Sources to make a prospective study which aim at building two bikes with waste collected locally. OS has to fit perfectly with the first design study and drawings made by BP Design. A new drawing was done in order to reshape the structure, the materials used and the knowhow involved in the production. Five prototypes of bikes were produced. Two of them were made with reuse materials in our workshop (old beds for the seat, market crates and supermarket hardboard, old benches of church for the armature) and three others in plastic done by some subcontractors selected by BP Design. Each prototype can produce about 100W. Only three bikes were enough to supply the video projector for a 54 minutes long documentary.

Russia has recently joined other BRIC and developed economies in enhancing its investment and trade activities in Africa. The continent is not only an interesting hinterland for emerging market goods and services, but could serve as an important springboard for those firms with global aspirations in the provision of energy, other commodities and manufacturing.
1) What are the primary strategic interests of Russian business and finance in the African markets? Which African countries are best positioned to engage BRIC and developed economies?
2) How can investment in African hydrocarbons, in particular natural gas and LNG, help Russia realize its aspirations for extending its reach in global energy markets?
3) What African sectors are best positioned to benefit from access to BRIC capital, knowhow and markets?

Es hat ein paar Tage gedauert. Aber nun ist sie da. Die Neue. Aber eigentlich ist die Neue eine Alte.
Ich habe mir eine alte Ikonta 521/2, die Urmutter der Ercona 1 und der Mockva 1, geleistet.
Sie hat exakt das gleiche Objektiv wie meine Ercona. Eigentlich sieht sie auch genauso aus wie meine Ercona. Deshalb habe mich für sie entschieden.
Vor einigen Jahren zeigte mir ein Kunde seine Kameraschätze.
Darunter befand sich auch eine Ikonta 521/2.
Mit großem Erstaunen sah ich die Ähnlichkeit der Ikonta mit meiner Ercona. Mal von Verschluss und Objektiv abgesehen würde ich sagen dass die beiden Kameras baugleich waren.
Nun, der Kunde hatte nicht die Absicht seine Ikonta zu verkaufen. Und ich wollte die Ercona noch nicht reaktivieren.
Damals hatte ich noch keine Ambitionen bezüglich meiner Mittelformatkameras.
Weder die Flexaret noch die Ercona waren auf dem Schirm.
Mittlerweile hatte sich das geändert.
Ich fotografierte wieder im Mittelformat mit Rollfilmen.
Gelegentlich nutzte ich die Flexaret und einmal war auch die Ercona wieder im Einsatz.
Nun erweiterte eine Ikonta meine Mittelformat – Ausrüstung.
Grund genug die beiden Klappkameras miteinander zu vergleichen.:
Und wieder war ich, als ich den Karton auspackte, darüber verblüfft, wie sehr sich die beiden Kameras ähnelten.
Die „Beste aller Lebensgefährtinnen“ wird wohl keinen Unterschied erkennen solange sie die beiden Kameras nicht zusammen sieht.
Und das sollte sie auch demnächst nicht. Denn das könnte Ärger geben.
Wenn man fragt, welche Kamera nun das Original sei, kann man mit Fug und Recht sagen: Beide.
Denn Beide sind Zeiss Ikon – Produkte und basieren auf den gleichen Konstruktionsunterlagen.
Das hier war wieder mal ein typisches Problem der Nachkriegszeit und der deutschen Teilung.
Ein Produkt wurde noch vor oder im Krieg entwickelt und dann später in beiden deutschen Teilen gebaut.
Sowohl in den westlichen Besatzungszonen als auch in der Sowjetischen Besatzungszone existierten Zeiss Ikon – Werke.
Die Ikonta 521/2 gab es bereits seit 1938. Sie wurde in Stuttgart gebaut und dort auch nach dem Krieg weiter produziert.
Soweit ich weis erschien die erste Ercona 1948. Sie wurde in Dresden auf Grundlage der Ikonta 521/2 entwickelt. Da man damals im Dresdner Zeiss Ikon Werk keine Klappkameras herstellte musste eigens für die Ercona eine Fertigungsstrecke eingerichtet werden.
Wenn überhaupt dann könnte man aufgrund dieser Fakten die Ercona als Kopie betrachten.
Doch so einfach war das nicht. Denn Zeiss Ikon war erstmal Zeiss Ikon. Und das unabhängig von der Besatzungszone.
Sowohl Zeiss Ikon Stuttgart als auch Zeiss Ikon Dresden hatte das dazu notwendige Knowhow und die Konstruktionsunterlagen. Die Rechte am Produkt mussten geklärt werden.
Und diese Situation entwickelte sich im Laufe der Jahre zu einer mitunter skurrilen Katzbalgerei.
Was ich hier schreibe ist natürlich in erster Linie ein „Nachplappern“ von dem, was ich gehört und gelesen habe. Ich bin kein Zeitzeuge.
Mein Wissen über diese Zeit verdanke ich hauptsächlich Gesprächen mit Zeitzeugen.
Und als Solche wären da mein Vater, mein Fotozirkelleiter Herr Teuscher und mehrere Unterstufen-Lehrerinnen zu nennen. Sehr oft erzählten sie mir von der verrückten Nachkriegszeit.
Und ich habe mit großem Interesse zugehört.
Dass die Leutchen gar nicht so falsch lagen konnte ich später beim Studium diverser Fachliteratur und Websites feststellen.
Vergleichen wir nun mal meine Neuerwerbung mit dem Bestand.
Neben „Omas Plattenkamera“ war meine Ercona die älteste Kamera in unserem Arsenal.
Vater kaufte sie um 1950 herum. Das genaue Baujahr weiß ich nicht. Aber es handelt sich bei unserer Kamera schon um die Zweiformat Ausführung. Und die gab es erst in den 1950-ern.
Wenn nun die Ercona schon alt war so vermute ich bei der Ikonta jedoch ein noch älteres Baujahr.
Laut meiner Internetrecherche kam die Kombination Compur-Zentralverschluss mit dem Novar 4.5/11 cm eher bei den Vorkriegs-Ikontas vor.
Somit kann es durchaus sein dass meine Ikonta aus dem Jahre 1938 stammt.
Für eine vermutlich 86-Jährige wirkte sie bemerkenswert rüstig.
Als ich den Compur mit ein paar „Leerschüssen“ testete, war ich schon wieder verblüfft.
Der Auslöser ging butterweich.
Bei der Ercona war das Auslösen eine hartgängige, hakelige Angelegenheit die oft zu Verwackeln führte.
Nach der Erkenntnis, dass das Parallelprodukt butterweich auslöste, saß ich erstmal eine halbe Stunde mit Ölkännchen und Tupfer bewaffnet an meiner Ercona.
Und siehe da. Als ich alle beweglichen Teile des Auslösergestänges gereinigt und geölt hatte ging die Sache deutlich leichter.
Ein bisschen straffer ging die Ercona trotzdem noch. Doch das lag wahrscheinlich an dem Selbstspannverschluss.
Mein Vater hatte damals seine Ercona in der denkbar einfachsten Ausführung gekauft.
Die Kamera war mit einen Selbstspannverschluss Junior der Gebrüder Werner aus Tharandt und einem Novar 4.5/11cm ausgerüstet.
Der Verschluss hat nur 3 Belichtungszeiten und B. Für die damalige Zeit war das nicht unüblich. Aber es war eben nicht gerade viel.
Einerseits hatte Vater als junger Mann noch nicht so viel Geld zur Verfügung. Andererseits wird er auch nichts Besseres bekommen können.
Damals musste man nehmen was man kriegen konnte.
Der Zentralverschluss an meiner Ikonta entsprach da schon eher meinen Vorstellungen.
Der Compur musste zwar separat aufgezogen werden. Doch das war ich vom Vebur an meinen Beltica und an der Certo gewohnt.
Wichtig war, dass er ein ähnliches Spektrum an Belichtungszeiten hatte wie der Prontor SVS an meiner Flexaret bzw. die eben genannten Vebur Zentralverschlüsse.
Ich glaube, dass ich mich für diese Ikonta entschieden habe, werde ich nicht bereuen.
Sie hat das gleiche Objektiv wie die Ercona aber einen besseren Verschluss.
Trotzdem gefällt mir optisch die Ercona mit ihrem kegelförmigen Zentralverschluss einen Tick besser.
Doch das ist vielleicht der Gewohnheit geschuldet.
Die Handhabung der beiden Kameras ist ähnlich aber nicht gleich. Der Compur an der Ikonta muss immer separat gespannt werden. Und am Fokusring fehlt die Tiefenschärfetabelle.
Damit gehörte die Ikonta zu meinen „ Schätzchen“. Die Ercona verwöhnte mich damit dass ich auf den Verschluss nicht achten brauchte weil der sich selbst aufzog.
Das schätzte ich auch an der Flexaret. Auch wenn man es hier technisch anders gelöst hatte.
Am Fokusring der Ercona befindet sich eine Tiefenschärfetabelle.
Mit dieser Kamera lernte ich das hyperfokale Scharfstellen. Faktisch bei allen, der Ercona folgenden Kameras, setzte ich meist diese Fokussiertechnik ein.
Sowohl bei der Ikonta als auch bei der Ercona wurde als Objektiv das Novar 4.5/11cm verbaut.
Ich hatte beim Kauf der Ikonta darauf geachtet, dass ich ein identisches Objektiv bekam. War es bei der Ikonta offensichtlich so konnte man auch bei der Ercona davon ausgehen dass das Objektiv noch aus Vorkriegsbeständen stammte.
Eigentlich habe ich keine so große Meinung vom Novar 4.5/11cm.
Ein Tessar in Kombination mit einem Tempor - Zentralverschluss wäre mir an der Ercona lieber gewesen.
Aber weder eine Ikonta noch eine Ercona sind, mit einem Tessar ausgerüstet, derzeit mit einem fairen Preis zu bekommen.
Und wenn doch dann in schlechtem Zustand mit „Apothekerpreisen“.
Auf den ersten Blick sind den beiden Kameras kaum zu unterscheiden.
Doch zwei kleine Unterschiede sind auf den Kamerarückwänden erkennbar.
Zunächst sind jeweils die Namen „Ikonta 521/2“ und „Ercona“ auf die Rückwand gestanzt worden.
Und dann sind da noch die Gucklöcher.
Die Ercona war eine Zweiformatkamera. Sie konnte im 6 x 9 Format und im 6 x 6 Format fotografieren. Dafür besaß sie eine Maske in der Filmbühne und im Sucher. Und in der Rückwand besaß die Kamera 2 Gucklöcher für den Filmtransport.
Bei der Ikonta gab es nur das 6 x 9 Format. Deshalb hatte sie auch nur ein Guckloch.
Ein richtiges Zählwerk, wie meine Flexaret, hatten beide Kameras nicht.
Mal sehen wie die beiden Kameras sich im direkten Vergleich anstellen.
Um die Filme auch später auseinander halten zu können werde ich einen einfachen Trick anwenden.
Die Ikonta kann eh nur 6x9. Also bleibt sie in diesem Format. Für die Ercona wähle ich das 6x6 Format. Da sie, wie die Ikonta auch, ihre Filme quer einzieht, kann ich die Aufnahmen gut von denen der Flexaret unterscheiden. Denn bei dem tschechoslowakischen Doppelauge verläuft der Film von unten nach oben.
Das ist aber alles nichts gegen die Hürde die ich demnächst nehmen muss. Und die heißt:
„Wann und wie sage ich meiner Frau dass ich eine Kamera gekauft habe?“
A recent update came out for BeamNG featuring AI traffic and a new playable car, among some more minor things.
Here is the AI in action, driving the white muscle car - they follow the traffic laws and even make use of indicators at junctions. Plus they don't all seem to drive the same either, as some are faster and some are slower, and the faster ones sometimes pull out and overtake the slower ones! Although my laptop can barely cope with more than one car in a map at a time, the traffic AI looks like something to have a lot of fun with.
The police car is one of the newly introduced vehicles. It is called the Gavril Bluebuck and has loads of different specifications in the menu - I don't even think this was the only police option. The AI that spawned handily made for a nice 1970s setting on the East Coast USA map - which also received a revamp in the update to feature an interesting seaside bay area, a petrol station and garage plus other things I've yet to explore.
Typical of one of those 1970s car chase movies, I seem to have become one of the ridiculously dire cops who trash their car in the most stupid of ways while the main character drives away without a bump!
I kind of hope that with the new possibilities from this update, the people with the skill, knowhow and beefy PCs will make some YouTube videos inspired by the likes of Duel, Smokey and the Bandit or some other car/truck movie - as I think the Bluebuck is the car they have been waiting for.

This is what i missed out on. For about a year and a half, I owned ex Yorkshire Traction Leyland National mk2 245 NKU245X. But with a lack technical knowhow, and lots of debts, i had to sell it. Now restoration is complete, it looks splendid in Tracky Red with MetroBus branding. It is seen climbing Halifax Road, about 1 mile outside Keighley with a special service for the Keighley & Worth Valley Diesel Gala from Ingrow west station (just past the junction at the far end of the shot) to Haworth.
First, you need to see the website of the the vineyard:
They say this:
"The rich perfumes of this white wine come predominaly from old vines which produce in a regular and soft way and perpetuate our ancestral knowhow in the choice of plants, hence the mobility of this pure Aligoté."
This was a very young, but a terrific white wine.
