Are you feeling lost in life?
Do your emotions sometimes overwhelm you?
Do you wonder why bad things happen?
Written for readers from diverse backgrounds, this book explores the purpose of our emotional journey through life from a psycho-soul perspective and helps us answer the question "Why am I here?" It is a handbook for surviving the inevitable ups and downs that we all must cope with as we experience the intense emotions of life.
(Based on someone's concept art)
So, i did a bunch more sneaky stuff, to make this happen, to the point , i even had to delete the C button shortcut, to stop it glitching out and cloning everything multiple times, till it crashed 😅
Now you can see its purpose, also just ignore the green tiles that are leaching on the cabin 😧😧

I hope its apparent now, all the bits that led to this point from the other ships, certain parts made for some of the earlier ships, get recycled or upcycled and man, have i enjoyed this style and the original artists designs so much 😁😁
I endeavour to make better looking engines, as i continue to progress and as i look at more reference materials, cause its a confusing topic, they all look extremely different, also art can be vague in the more detailed areas and dark spots, so its hard to imagine what to fill in the blanks with and stay true to the rest of the design and avoid creating a mashup.
Ill get another angle or two and maybe try for a ship link up or two, if i can and then move on to the next one 😁
Anyways, i hope you enjoy as much as i do and have a great day 😁
This general purpose bomb was used extensively during the Vietnam war. More info
My entry for the BFVA Vietnam collaboration. The limitations of the olive green were... an interesting challenge. I think the airbrakes could've been better, but this is the best I could come up with in this color. I do like how the folding mechanism with the custom metallic parts came out though. Some parts are still in chrome, at some pont I will replace those with the metallic ones.
The main purpose of spending two days in Ranthambore National Park on safari was to find the elusive Bengal tiger. We were told that each Bengal tiger can be located anywhere in its own 60 square km territory. As you can see, we were one of the licky ones. Note from the angle of this shohow very close to our safari animal was this magnificent animal was - fortunaly lunch was not on her mind.
Many visitors sadly leave the park never having seen this elusive cat.
Ranthambore National Park is a large wildlife reserve that located in northern India in the Sawai Madhopur district of southeastern Rajasthan. The park covers 1,334 sq km (515 sq mi), and is famous for its Bengal tigers which roam freely throughout the park. It is also home to many other protected animals and plants including the Indian leopard, sambar, sloth bear, nilgai, wild boar, striped hyena, southern plains gray langur, rhesus macaque, mugger crocodile, chital and a wide variety of trees, plants, birds and reptiles.

Last week, I visited Portsmouth for purposes of seeing the sea and exercise. The wonderful thing about Queen St is that it is very long, and there are multiple positions to take photos without having to stand in one central place.
Queen St has also allowed me to grab 3 of the 5 Enviros working from Stagecoach's Farlington depot on the Portsmouth city routes. These are strangers in town, usually allocated to Worthing, but have been left in Portsmouth for social distancing following rail replacement before lockdown. Here is 10961 departing Portsmouth, having just left The Hard.
2 of 3 - Update - a fellow birder friend confirmed this is an immature Herring Gull (Larus argentatus) that has been seen at this location for a few weeks.
Can you please help me ID this large GULL? It's for ebird purpose only - not for quality, obviously. Here's the scoop:
We went to the Glendale Recharge Ponds in Arizona this afternoon (known for a variety of birds, including uncommon & rarities). We spotted several gulls and were able to ID Ring-billed, but there was this very large gull that stood out amongst the rest. The photos are poor quality, but he was light to dark brown/gray and white, dark bill with pinkish legs. Definitely not a Ring-billed... I've poured through my field guides and thought of a 1st winter California, but the bill is mostly black... or a 1st winter Herring. Any help would be greatly appreciated - thank you!
The Origins and Purpose of Street Art and Graffiti — A Historical Essay.
Prehistoric and Ancient Beginnings (40,000 BCE – 500 CE)
Graffiti’s origins stretch back to humanity’s earliest visual culture. Prehistoric cave paintings — including hand stencils created by blowing pigment through tubes — functioned as some of the earliest “tags,” marking presence and identity. These date from 40,000–10,000 years ago.
By the classical era, graffiti was widespread across Ancient Greece and Rome, where people scratched messages, jokes, political commentary, and personal boasts into walls. The oldest known written graffito dates to around 500 BCE.
In Pompeii, graffiti served as advertising, satire, political slogans, and everyday communication, revealing the lives of ordinary people rather than elites.
Purpose in this era:
1. Marking presence (“I was here”)
2. Social commentary
3. Recording daily life
4. Religious or political expression
5. Communication by non‑elites otherwise absent from written history
Medieval to Early Modern Graffiti (500–1800 CE)
Graffiti continued through the medieval period, especially in religious and rural landscapes. In the Middle East, the Safaitic inscriptions — scratched onto rocks across Syria, Jordan, and Arabia — are the only surviving record of an ancient Arabic dialect.
In Europe, travellers, workers, and even antiquarians carved names and messages into castles, churches, and monuments. At Stonehenge, 18th‑century visitors left carved signatures, showing graffiti as a record of presence and identity.
Purpose in this era:
1. Recording travel or pilgrimage
2. Personal memorialisation
3. Folk expression by ordinary people
4. Documentation of labourers and craftsmen
The Birth of Modern Graffiti (1950s–1970s)
Modern graffiti culture emerged in Philadelphia in the 1950s, led by figures like Cornbread, who pioneered tagging as a form of self‑promotion and identity.
By the late 1960s and early 1970s, graffiti exploded in New York City, especially on subway trains. Writers such as TAKI 183 and others transformed tagging into a competitive, stylised art form.
This era marks the shift from simple inscriptions to complex lettering, murals, and large-scale public visibility.
Purpose in this era:
1. Personal identity and fame (“getting up”)
2. Reclaiming public space
3. Youth expression in marginalised communities
4. Resistance to social and economic exclusion
The Rise of Street Art (1980s–2000s)
Street art evolved from graffiti but expanded into stencils, wheat‑paste posters, stickers, installations, and murals. Artists like Keith Haring, Jean‑Michel Basquiat, and later Banksy brought street art into global consciousness.
Street art differed from graffiti by focusing less on lettering and more on imagery, political messages, and public commentary.
According to The Art Story, street art grew from the belief that art should be:
1. Accessible to everyone
2. Outside traditional institutions
3. Democratic and empowering
4. A counter‑attack against advertising and corporate messaging
5. Purpose in this era:
6. Political protest
7. Social commentary
8. Challenging authority and capitalism
9. Beautification and community identity
Artistic experimentation outside galleries
Contemporary Street Art and Graffiti (2000s–Present)
Today, graffiti and street art occupy a complex space between vandalism, public art, activism, and cultural heritage.
Graffiti remains illegal in many contexts, yet it is also recognised as a vital form of urban storytelling, especially for marginalised voices.
Street art, meanwhile, is often commissioned by cities, festivals, and cultural institutions, blurring the line between rebellion and acceptance.
Current purposes:
1. Urban regeneration
2. Tourism and cultural branding
3. Community identity
4. Political resistance
5. Artistic innovation
Street art and graffiti are not modern inventions — they are part of a 40,000‑year human tradition of marking presence, expressing identity, and challenging power. From Roman jokes to New York subway tags to global street murals, they remain one of the most democratic and immediate forms of public expression.

Guemes Channel.
Built in 2016 by Nichols Brothers Boat Builders of Langley, Washington, for the American Samoa government as a multi-purpose ferry and cargo vessel.
Construction began in the fall of 2015 for the vessel, which will sail between Tutuila and the Manu’a Islands. The vessel will have an enclosed, air-conditioned area that will seat 120 passengers. Construction was funded with $8.6 million in Capital Improvement Project funding from the US Interior Department and $5 million from the American Samoa Economic Development Authority.
The purpose of this MOC was to remind me of the many colors in my collection that I tend to forget about. Having this on my desk is a good source of inspiration. I arranged the colors to my subjective perception, I’m sure it could be done more scientifically but this works for me.
The height of each color shows roughly how complete it is in my collection; colors with plates stacked on them show where I have the most parts (so for example, I have a lot more Red than Dark Red). I was surprised to find that I had so many different color 1x2 bricks. Not counting metallic colors of course.
The base contains an extra brick of each color, so I can put colors next to each other and choose a palette for a build. And if I'm totally out of ideas I can "spin the wheel" ...

Again the purpose of our honeymoon (believe it or not) was NOT to be a photo safari through Europe for me. Now one advantage of marrying a photographer is that when planning the honeymoon, more than likely you’ll be brought to some very photogenic areas.
We had no idea that Austria was so beautiful. Just walking along the Inn River at night and seeing those buildings reflect on the moving water with the Alps in the background was just breathtaking. On the other side of us were people sitting at tables dining alfresco. Mostly college kids.
Felt so alive. All we wanted to do was dance in the middle of the town square illuminated by the lights of the city. But seriously, who does that? Not us. So we just walked around.

The purpose of this shoot is to promote to youngsters different things they can do instead of staying at home all day in front of the television. I hope they get involved and live a balanced life other than just their education. Sports, spirituality and hobbies are better than playing just with the XBox 24 hours a day.

"Sole Purpose - Jogging Shoeprints" by Patti Deters. A young woman athlete is seen jogging past a concrete wall covered with large, varied shoe sole imprints, creating a unique and eye-catching scene. The runner's silhouette is captured in motion, perhaps her sole purpose is to finish this daily run in record time. The overall composition suggests a sense of determination and perseverance, capturing the essence of athleticism and urban energy. The concrete canvas whispers stories of countless footsteps, each sole a silent testament to a journey taken. The lone runner becomes a metaphor for our own individual paths, with her stride echoing the rhythm of progress, and her determination a beacon against the faded imprints of the past.

Since 18 years she is known to me,so I can understand her most of the sign languages, as well she can also read me, I am talking about the sign language because she is dumb.She is alone, no one with her. She like to share many thoughts with me or I can say she feel comfortable with me.She has a cake making shop and she leads her life by that. What is very remarkable as well as impressive to me that's her always smiling face despite the fact that she is extremely poor and alone.

On purpose by accident I got this silly shot of Angus. I was purposely on a ladder trying to get him to jump up from below for a treat. He jumped a little too close and I moved my camera out of the line of nostril fire and accidentally pressed the shutter button. The result made me giggle.
A multi-purpose salvage/repair ship. The sections can rotate independently and have different manipulators, drills and cutters. The forward section are the crew compartments; I figure it rotates as well to provide some level of artificial gravity during times when the ship isn't moving under thrust (often for a repair vessel?)
I also added some heat sinks near the engine, apparently the ships in the books have radiators but they left them off for the show to maintain a cleaner shape on screen.
I have a sketch of this idea from a while ago that I will upload.
BC Place is a multi-purpose stadium located at the north side of False Creek, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. It is owned and operated by the BC Pavilion Corporation (PavCo), a crown corporation of the province. It is currently the home of the BC Lions of the Canadian Football League (CFL), Vancouver Whitecaps FC of Major League Soccer (MLS) and the annual Canada Sevens (part of the World Rugby Sevens Series) as well as the BC Sports Hall of Fame. The stadium also served as the main stadium for the 2010 Winter Olympics and 2010 Paralympics which Vancouver hosted, the 2012 CONCACAF Women's Olympic Qualifying Tournament, as well as a venue for multiple matches including the championship match for the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. The stadium will also host several matches during the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The stadium opened on June 19, 1983, and was built as an indoor structure with an air-supported roof, the largest of its kind in the world upon its opening. Following the 2010 Winter Olympics, BC Place was closed for 16 months as part of an extensive revitalization, the centrepiece of which was replacing the inflatable roof with a retractable roof supported by cables. Once construction was completed, the stadium's new roof was also the largest of its type. BC Place Stadium
This is how CMV Cruises describes their ship:
At 63,786grt, with a draft of 8.20 metres and overall length of nearly 250 metres, Columbus was purpose built for deep sea ocean cruising and we believe is ideally suited to the type of exciting scenic cruise programme we operate. She underwent an extensive refit in August 2015 and will be upgraded further in April 2017 before the start of her maiden CMV season.
Columbus has 775 passenger cabins including 64 de luxe balcony cabins and junior suites which will please many of our customers who have been asking for more balcony accommodation. Following the successful trial on board Magellan, and recognising the needs of single travellers, 150 cabins will be allocated for solos.
Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.
[Proverbs 19:21 NIV]
5 MORE THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW:
1. Like it or not, we are ALL sinners: As the Scriptures say, “No one is righteous—not even one. No one is truly wise; no one is seeking God. All have turned away; all have become useless. No one does good, not a single one.” (Romans 3:10-12 NLT)
2. The punishment for sin is death: When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned. (Romans 5:12 NLT)
3. Jesus is our only hope: But God showed his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners. (Romans 5:8 NLT) For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 6:23 NLT)
4. SALVATION is by GRACE through FAITH in JESUS: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago. (Ephesians 2:8-10 NLT)
5. Accept Jesus and receive eternal life: If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. (Romans 10:9 NLT) But to all who believed him and accepted him, he gave the right to become children of God. (John 1:12 NLT) And this is what God has testified: He has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have God’s Son does not have life. (1 John 5:11-12 NLT)
Read the Bible for yourself. Allow the Lord to speak to you through his Word. YOUR ETERNITY IS AT STAKE!

www.youtube.com/channel/UCkNYo1uLNy67xCfeyc1h-ZQ?sub_conf... The purpose of creating and assigning 5G networks
Previous generation mobile communication networks had the following purposes and functionality:
1G: Analog Voice Service
2G: Voice over digital network services, low speed data services (GPRS, EDGE)
3G: High-speed data services (HSPA), with the ability to transmit voice over IP, mobile Internet access MBB (Mobile Broadband).
4G: LTE, LTE-A Mobile Broadband MBB, Voice over Voice (VoLTE)
5G networks greatly expand the limited functionality of previous generation mobile networks. The main functional features of 5G networks are as follows:
EMBB Advanced Mobile Broadband (enhanced MBB)
Ultra-Low Latency Reliable Communication (ULLRC) Massive IoT / IIoT, mMTC (massive Machine Type Communication)
Based on these three generalized types of functionality, the whole variety of services and capabilities of IMT2020 (5G) networks is built, the most characteristic of which are shown in the figure below:
The variety of functional capabilities of IMT2020 / 5G networks. Source: Emerging Trends in 5G / IMT2020, 2016, ITU
Gigabytes per second. 5G networks can significantly increase the speed of data transmission through various radio access technologies (RAT), and by using the new 5G NR radio frequency spectra (New Radio). The user gets almost unlimited bandwidth, both for home use of various services, and for the purposes of enterprises (Immersive Telepresence, Industrial IoT, etc.)
Smart House. A wide range of different Internet of Things (IoT) services will be available for the Smart Home and Smart Building solutions: video surveillance, control and automation of household appliances, security systems management, content storage, climate control, etc.
Smart city. The Smart City solution is a horizontal and vertical scaling of the functionality and range of Smart Home services. Main services of Smart City: Safe City, e-Government e-Government, e-Health e-Health, e-Education e-Education, e-Banking e-banking, Smart Meters utilities electronic collection, Smart Grid smart grids, etc. .
New 4K / 8K video services: Volumetric video, ultra-high definition (UHD) screen, presence effect option.
Work in the cloud. The service makes it possible not only to store data in a cloud storage and retrieve it from there, but also to use application programs that work directly from the cloud. Moreover, with the possibility of them but also use applications that work directly from the cloud. Moreover, with the possibility of them
use on any device and from any location. In addition, it is possible to use APIs through which cloud service providers can provide their services to subscribers of a 5G network operator.
Augmented and virtual reality (AR / VR). The virtual reality service VR (Virtual Reality) immerses a person in another world, influencing his senses, especially his vision (VR glasses). Augmented Reality AR (Augmented Reality) service combines a real environment for a user with virtual objects. These services are suitable not only for entertainment, games, virtual communication in the "telepresence" mode, but can also significantly improve the learning process, when students using VR glasses can, for example, visually see the internal structure of a person at a lecture on anatomy, a master in the workshop can study the assembly order of a complex unit, etc.
Industrial Automation. The 5G network, coupled with the technology of the Internet of things IoT, with the help of industrial sensors IIoT (Industrial Internet of things), as well as with the help of artificial intelligence, AI (AI, Artificial Intelligence) can significantly increase the degree of automation of production. At the same time, it becomes possible in real time to analyze large volumes of heterogeneous data (Big Data) both based on the findings (insights) and using machine and deep learning (Machine learning, Deep learning).
Business Critical Applications These applications may include, for example, electronic medicine (e-Health), emergency communications (Mission Critical Communication), tactile Internet (Tactile Internet) and others.
Unmanned vehicles (Driverless Vehicles). Unmanned transport can act as part of the Smart City service, however, it can be provided on its own platform. It includes not only unmanned vehicles (driverless cars), but also unmanned tractors for “smart agriculture” (Smart Agriculture), unmanned trains for the metro and suburban railways, drones and other types of public and special transport. In addition, on the 5G platform, the implementation of ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) driver assistance systems is possible.
It should be emphasized that the figure above shows only some of the services and solutions of the 5G platform. Unlike the networks of previous generations, the range of services of which was strictly limited and somewhat expanded in 4G, the services of the 5G platform are synergistic and scalable, and are not limited to once defined functionality. In fact, 5G plays the role of a platform for the development of new services and DevOps applications, when new functions are created by developers (Development) in close coordination with the teams who are responsible for their implementation and operation (Operation).
In general, we can say that the 5G network incorporates not only mobile, but also fixed communication services, as well as high-speed Internet access with low latency and, in addition, specialized and corporate networks for vertical industries.
5G / IMT2020 platform versatility
Due to the fifth generation networks, it will also be possible to improve the quality of the use of existing services where large volumes of traffic are involved.
Theodore Sizer, vice president of wireless technology at Bell Labs, noted that there will be a wide variety of devices running on 5G networks. Smartphones and tablets will not go anywhere, but besides them, a whole “zoo” of various devices will appear on the network, including CCTV cameras, weather sensors, sensors of “smart” electric networks, “smart” houses and cars.
Ericsson said that 5G will usher in the long-term development of the Networked Society:
South Korean operator SK Telecom, one of the first companies to demonstrate 5G technology in action, at the initial stage of deployment of new generation networks focuses on ordinary users as the main consumers of services, company representatives told TAdviser in February 2016. Thanks to 5G, users can watch 3D-TV without glasses, download in seconds or watch UltraHD video online at high speed.
It will also be possible to use virtual and augmented reality applications at a new level, according to SK Telecom. For example, include elements of augmented reality in the educational process, creating virtual museums and models of the universe in the classrooms.
In the projects of “smart cities” 5G will allow real-time transmission of information from a much larger number of sensors at various objects. Qualcomm's senior director of product management for mobile technology, Sanjeev Athalye, notes that it will be possible to deploy a thousand sensors instead of a hundred, for servicing which there will be a sufficiently smaller number of base stations than with existing networks. These can be, for example, sensors for monitoring the state of housing and communal services objects, sensors for “smart lighting” or sound sensors installed for safety and order in the city. In the latter case, the sensors can detect suspicious or too loud sounds, and this information will be automatically transmitted to law enforcement.
New services using 5G can also be implemented in medicine. For example, to organize remote monitoring of patients. The doctor will be able to quickly receive information from special sensors and monitor the condition of patients around the clock.
Thanks to its very low latency, 5G will also open up more possibilities for remote operations using the robot. Such a service is especially relevant for small settlements where there are no surgeons in the field: controlling the manipulations of the robot, the operation can be performed by a specialist located in a completely different place. Due to 5G, such a service can be deployed in wireless networks.
The low data latency that next-generation networks can provide is also important for the deployment of smart power networks. Using sensors will allow you to instantly detect damage on the power line and block the spread of the consequences of damage further along the line. Thus, damage will affect fewer consumers of electricity.
In large manufacturing companies, in retail, logistics, 5G will make it possible to use more industrial robots that perform various functions instead of people and drones. The latter are already used in some industries, but are most often managed using Wi-Fi networks. 5G will allow you to cover a greater distance than Wi-Fi networks, and due to the low latency - increase the stability of such systems. For example, Amazon has a project to deploy a system for delivering goods using drones.
An example of services for which 5G will have an advantage is urban surveillance systems. 5G will help simplify their deployment and use. Now traffic from thousands of cameras in cities is mainly transmitted via fixed networks. To deploy such an infrastructure is not an easy task, since it is necessary to lay many wires. With 5G, you can receive terabytes of high-quality video
permissions without the use of wires.
Another example is a vehicle monitoring service in companies. Qualcomm’s Sanjeev Atali believes that with the advent of a new generation of networks, operators who provide such a service will be able to reduce its cost. This will be possible due to the fact that the cost of one 5G base station will be lower than the cost of stations for existing networks, and also due to the fact that one base station can simultaneously serve more devices, respectively, less base stations will be required for the service.
The SF-3A Lancer II is a general-purpose space fighter designed for service aboard the space carrier ships of the U.N. Spacy.

Notes:
This iconic looking fighter intrigued me from the moment I saw it in "Macross: Do You Remember Love". It only had airtime for a couple of seconds and any information on the ship, especially a definitive design, is hard to come by, making this an obscure delight. I based my build on resin model interpretations of the fighter, whilst taking some small liberties with the design. Overall I think it's very recognizable as the Lancer.
I've been playing with the idea of building this one out of lego for quite some time. I never got to it because I discouraged myself, thinking it was simply to difficult to get those gradual slopes right, let alone those very long cannons. But when I saw the white pin connector, I convinced myself that might actually work. Surprisingly, it was not the slope of the cockpit area, but the engines that gave me the most trouble. The fuselage, being so small and slender, gave me very little room to work with on those.
