Progress of the eclipse. The first six pictures are spaced roughly ten minutes apart. The last six cover a total period of about 7 minutes. The penultimate one shows the moment of annularity, and the last one is (fairly) close to center.

Frankly, its embarrassing just how many takes it took me to get this shot. I originally wanted the gyroscope spinning on top of the books, but it kept spinning off by the time I'd lined up the camera and the flash. It also took an age to get the angle of the flash correct - it was attached to the hotshoe on the camera via a cable - no pop up flash on the 5DIII to fire a slave :(
I can't say I'm delighted with this, but after the effort that went into taking it, there's no way its not getting posted.
I ALSO UPDATED the lock in the diagram which looks better than the one here! You can get Freehand 11 for diagramming here: ufile.io/ef6be (ver 11 upd included). Anything needed afterwards should be easy to find. Should be done in another 10 steps. YES diagramming tessellations step wise takes time
but it can be done.
A hike up the impressive Creux de Van in Switzerland in pretty suboptimal conditions. Stunning landscape and in the end it seems like it was better that way than on a sunny summerday.
We use to look out onto open fields at the back of our house, not anymore, progress means we'll be able to look at 600 houses in our back yard.
A bit of progress this winter season 2020. The station and it's yard tracks have been completed. Also solved some annoying bottlenecks in the trackplan, and changed the access and exit tracks of the hidden yard. Decided not to run the trains full automatic DCC (programmed), but 'by hand' only. The points will be DCC automated. Time to make a start with the scenery I suppose.
The first section of roof removed. There was some gooey tar down near the gutter that Scott is working on removing...

Work has progressed at a steady pace since the previous update. Externally the front is now pretty much fully back in to the Olympia livery with just the light bezels left to fit which will be done after MOT to allow for headlight adjustment. The rear has had the first coat of Dark Olympia applied.
Perhaps the one of the most notable things since the last update is the new vinyls, fleet numbers have now been fitted restoring 629 back to its 62164 identity, while some eye-catching "ABERDEEN" skylines have been fitted. These have been designed in house and are based on the offical prototype designed for First Aberdeen albeit never actually applied to any vehicles in service, as 629 is likely only going to be in Olympia for a short while we thought it was worth taking some creative liberty and adding this small touch.
Internally all the cove panels have now been fitted with the first of the retrimmed seats also refitted. The faulty interior lights are the next job to sort although shouldn't take too long.
Lastly the rear side lights have both been replaced. When we got 629 the nearside one was a non-original LED style replacement that looked completely out of place while the offside one didn't work at all, upon removal we discovered the offside one was not working due to a faulty ground connection. Very strangely upon repairing this we have also fixed the non-existent warning light and buzzer for the emergency exit door, i can only assume the circuits for these must be linked in some way.
This is a one-off Hand-Forged Steel & Stone Table, to support a Subwoofer for my Dentists home in the burbs. I'm undecided whether I'll use Perforated Steel for the shelf, or-maybe weave a flat-strip panel insert🤔.....
The big change since the last one of these I posted is that the left flap is now mostly green. Also, the small amount of yellow remaining on the left fuel tank is now green as well.
Parts shown here in green are complete, yellow are awaiting some final riveting or blending tasks, orange are awaiting primer, and red are works in progress. Uncolored parts haven't yet been worked on.

The S2 Packaging project has been long due an overhaul.
The four leaf clover package is looking a bit tired so we’ve binned it and brought in a new approach to the visualisation of the package.
The pupils are still taught about graphic composition techniques and apart from the planning stages the whole project is realised using digital skills.
As a department we believe that teaching pupils skills in the graphic industry standard software applications is the correct approach. These skills are entirely transferable and the graphic interface will be familiar to them if they choose to progress in the subject through to tertiary level and beyond. Given the results that S2 pupils can now achieve in S2 it is exciting to imagine what they progress to in S5/6.
The concept here is to design the packaging for a new snack product. Basic layout skills are taught and then pupils progress towards realising their ideas in Adobe Illustrator. Vector skills such as typography, basic Bezier path tools, scaling and colour manipulation are taught at this point. At all times pupils must work from their pre-planned thumbnail planning sketches. Upon completion of the front and back panel of the package in Illustrator the artwork is then rotated, cropped, and saved as two jpegs in Photoshop. Two materials are created in Cinema 4D and the bitmap artwork is now added to the texture channel. The materials are then mapped onto a crisp packet mesh that I created in a pre rigged studio environment and rendered as a high resolution file.
As you can see from the pupil photos everyone was pleased with their results! Jay was heard to say, “That was a pretty good lesson.” I think so too.
This is the site of the new Plenary Health and Walker Cancer center being built in St Catherines. This is a HUGE construction project being built by PCL Construction. I'm sometimes critical of our government, but when I stop and think especially seeing an undertaking like this, it makes me better understand despite everything, I'm living in a GREAT country with GREAT healthcare.
This image I tried to show 'change and progress'. Sometimes it's necessary for the old to come down so the new can go up. Its definitely sad when this happens, but at least we can preserve our past through these images.
It is now 4.3 month since the upgrade commenced, and due to a great deal of rain and warm weather the garden has responded far better than expected, at this rate the plants will start to mature much earlier than expected, that of course makes me very happy to say the least :)
progress, as i suspected, is pretty slow-going on my great gram-inspired quilt, though it looks like i have a lot done! i now have 8 out of 36 blocks finished + i couldn't be happier with how they are looking. of course, my version is going to be a lot more colorful than the original, but a lot of that has to do with fading, i think. i'm piecing the larger blocks as i have enough of the smaller postage stamp blocks made, rather than waiting to make all of the postage stamp blocks + then organizing them by color--i'm trying to keep things sort of random, because that's how quilts in my great grandma's time were made.
Progress of my own design.
Boy oh boy I didn’t realize how tough designing your own origami could be, but it sure is fun!
I love the entire process. This is the first complex design I am attempting to create myself, and as a self taught origamist, running into difficulties is common to say the least.
Origami is an incredibly beautiful art, a limitless art with infinite potential. The last few weeks and several attempts I have made at this model has been a highlight of my summer before freshman year of college. Before this summer ends, I will complete this model.
The most difficult aspect for me is incorporating dual color into the model. The name of the model, I have yet to decide. Luna, Dawn, Lisa... Having trouble picking between them!
My respect for the community of artists who design and create models of their own has increased significantly.
Thank you all for your inspiration!
God bless.
The Carousel of Progress is an attraction located in Tomorrowland at the Magic Kingdom Park at the Walt Disney World Resort, currently operating under the name, Walt Disney's Carousel of Progress. Created by both Walt Disney and the Imagineers of WED Enterprises as the prime feature of the General Electric Pavilion for the 1964 New York World's Fair, the attraction was moved to Tomorrowland at Disneyland Park in Anaheim, California, remaining there from 1967 until 1973. It was replaced in Disneyland by America Sings in 1974, and reopened in its present home in Walt Disney World Resort's Magic Kingdom in 1975.
Steeped in both nostalgia and futurism, the attraction's premise is an exploration of the joys of living through the advent of electricity and other technological advances during the 20th century via a "typical" American family. To keep it up with the times, the attraction has been updated five times (in 1967, 1975, 1981, 1985, and 1994) and has had two different theme songs, both written by the Sherman Brothers (Disney's Academy Award-winning songwriting team).
Various sources say Walt Disney himself proclaimed that the Carousel of Progress was his favorite attraction and that it should never cease operation. This can be somewhat supported by Imagineers, family and friends, who knew of his constant work on the attraction. Of all the attractions he presented at the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair, Disney seemed especially devoted to the Carousel of Progress.
The Carousel of Progress holds the record as the longest-running stage show, with the most performances, in the history of American theater

The garden beds...they're coming along quite slow this year =/ All carrots and beets this time around. The branches are to deter local cats -.- Even then they still get through on occasion -.- Ugh...
