Now, what do we have here?
An unbranded Seagull prototype watch, using yet another variant of the venerable ST25xx/TY25xx automatic movement series.
Big date at 12, small seconds at 6, white guilloche dial with copper coloured hands and applied roman numerals of the same colour.
Works perfectly, excellent values on the timer.
But something obviously went wrong... 😁

I love Fomapan 200 for its tonailty and hate it for its black dots or spots or streaks. Here are two pictures taken under nearly the same conditions, but admittedly on two different days and with two different lenses. The "black rain" on the Fompan 200 image should be pretty obvious compared to the Fomapan 100 image. I wish Fomapan would improve its quality control.
Another defective banana has been identified by the automated quality control department at the banana factory.

This latest roll of film I shot in my X-370 has serious issues. At first I thought perhaps light leaks, but am now heavily leaning toward manufacturing defect. I say that based on the fact that I've shot at least a few other rolls through this same camera over the past few years and this anomaly didn't show up on any of those rolls. So the camera would seem to be "tried and true", as they say. Notice the weird effects are not contained within the frames - but rather they span across frames and also the sprocket holes, so it's certainly nothing to do with the lens or lens mount. Anyone have thoughts?

In 25 words or less? One raw material needed to make porcelain or china is clay, which is delivered by a supplier. The factory has to check incoming raw materials to make sure that that the factory is getting what they pay for. It looks like the instructions here tell the operator how to mark an incoming delivery, in essence accepting or rejecting the batch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Rel1j4ZxPc

“I See Invisible People” … On Facebook - IMRAN™
It was bound to happen. The beautiful invisible woman added me as a friend. And a few days later her equally gorgeous equally invisible girlfriend added me. Unless it was her mean Invisible Man jealous boyfriend!
I can’t tell 😀 even though I have a Sixth Sense. Fortunately I’m alive and it doesn’t involve my seeing dead people. But Facebook’s idiotic system thinks there are invisible people who want to be my friends.
In this case, I can only see dead-poor quality control, software assurance, and user experience design testing at Facebook. Can you see them too? 😉

My Selfie By Drone With Drone's Selfie By Me - IMRAN™
I love my 5-years old DJI Phantom 4 drone. But I hate how Lithium-Ion batteries on almost all devices swell up over time. My top of the line Apple MacBook Pro, my Microsoft Surface Pro 4 (provided by my employer Microsoft and mentioned in the interest of fairness and full disclosure), my Samsung Note8, my Apple iPhone X, are among the top brands showing poor quality control where the device literally blew open. I have photos of each of them.
It sucked in this case with DJI because I had invested in three of those nearly $200-each batteries. Two of them are basically so swollen that if I shove them into the drone they will never come out without destroying the aircraft. One battery still works fairly well but I wanted to have a spare.
So I ordered one this week from everyone's favorite villainous online shopping monopoly. In this case, I decided to try a non-OEM (original equipment manufacturer) version I found on Amazon.
It was literally half the price of a DJI one.
It does require the battery to be "broken in", by only flying the drone lightly a few feet off the ground and only run down to about 50% battery usage. A chore, for sure, but saving nearly $100 per battery, it is not that big a deal.
I decided to make it a battery break-in and quick general video recording in one. I finally had a chance to do that today but it suddenly got windy. The first thunderstorm of the summer season of 2021 arrived at that same time.
Flying the drone just 3 feet off the ground was actually looking much riskier than flying higher. The strong unexpected gusts of wind that I could see move the drone several feet up or down before the stabilization would get it back to its correct location.
So, I flew it about 15-20 feet above the water and took a few shots and clips. This was the final photo of the first run of this new battery as it reached 52%.
Kennedy and K2, my smart German Shepherd Dogs, had been standing where I needed to land the drone so I had to tell them to move aside. This place by the poolside is their play area, so it is a mess of toys, and towels they love to be dried off with after swimming. They complied and stood watching the aircraft on final approach.
I clicked this selfie of me from the drone camera. But it is also a selfie of the drone taken by me! You will see its image in the kitchen sliding door behind me. About 5 minutes later a massive rainstorm passed over the house. Battery run 1 complete, selfie complete, story complete, share with you all.... complete!

Construction workers check the quality of the cement in a sample as a crane hoist a tub of it up in the air from the cement truck.
Pictured is D.Gary Young and the science professionals, as well as some of the corporate staff touring. You can tell the scientists by the number of pens in their pockets.

What you're looking at in the photo is why I would never buy a small supplier's custom coffee. In the middle of the coffee beans that were drying before being processed were puppies! I couldn't believe anyone would actually buy the ground coffee. The coffee being ground did smell wonderful.
Don't ask - I don't want to think about it - and I don't want to know!
An Air Tractor AT-301 crop duster flies low over a wheat field spraying fungicide near Chester, Montana.
Much of Montana experienced an unusually wet spring and crop dusters have been working overtime spraying fungicide on the wheat fields so farmers can protect their investment. The skies are quite literally filled with crop dusters these days here in the Golden Triangle of Montana.

In the seed processing plant at Bidasem, a worker visually examines and manually sifts maize seed on a conveyor belt, picking out material such as damaged or spoiled seed or pieces of cob. After initial cleaning and sorting, all seed that goes through the plant passes through quality control. If a sample from a batch is found to more have more than 2% impurities, they are either separated out by hand like this or using a gravity table. The batch is then resampled to ensure a clean bill of health to continue processing.
Bidasem is a small seed company based in the central Mexican plains region known as the Bajío. It produces approximately 10,000 bags of maize seed a year, each holding 22.5kg, as well as producing wheat and oat seed and marketing seed of other crops. Despite their small size, Bidasem and similar companies play an important role in improving farmers’ livelihoods. “Our aim is to provide farmers with quality seed at accessible prices, that is adapted to the conditions we have here in the Bajío. It’s a great satisfaction, when farmers achieve the yields they need,” says director general María Esther Rivas.
“Without CIMMYT, we couldn’t exist,” says Rivas. She sells four different maize hybrids, all formed from freely-available CIMMYT parent lines. “Really the most important thing is to produce your own hybrids, and for us it wouldn’t be possible if we didn’t have the germplasm from CIMMYT. What we’re currently producing is 100% CIMMYT.” The relationship between Bidasem and CIMMYT is now deepening through participation in the MasAgro initiative, which includes training courses for seed companies and collaborative trials to evaluate the best seed.

Samples of seed (clockwise from top left: treated wheat, untreated maize, and treated maize) waiting to be used in germination tests at small seed company Bidasem. These tests are carried out on each batch of seed just after it arrives from the field (before it is stored), directly before processing, and after treatment (just before packaging). The seed is are grown for fixed periods at known temperatures on a damp paper substrate to check its germination rate and vigor.
Bidasem is based in the city of Celaya in the central Mexican plains region known as the Bajío. It produces maize, wheat and oat seed, as well as marketing seed of other crops. Despite their small size, Bidasem and similar companies play an important role in reaching small farmers with improved seed that offers them better livelihoods. “Our aim is to provide farmers with quality seed at accessible prices, that is adapted to the conditions we have here in the Bajío, says director general María Esther Rivas. It’s a great satisfaction, when farmers achieve the yields they need.”
