I was visiting a small museum (not a store) of movie & television vintage props & related equipment, etc. This NBC Studios fresnel light (from the 1950’s & 60’s & probably later) was, most likely. used on the Johnny Carson "Tonight" Show & a few others, from that time period. The multi-faceted & ringed fresnel lens in this light is widely used in movies & television as an accurate & adjustable light source. Much larger fresnel lenses were also used in lighthouses & could be seen for very great distances.
“The difference between technology and slavery is slaves are fully aware they are not free”
Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Inquiring about the buildings which look like 'half a building' we were informed, "these were the slave quarters.' While slavery wasn't the first thing we thought about while absorbing NOLAs fine sense of heritage and hospitality, when you become calibrated to it, it is hard not to think of elephants in the room.

While scanning the sky to chart a billion stars in our Milky Way galaxy, ESA’s Gaia satellite is also sensitive to celestial bodies closer to home, and regularly observes asteroids in our Solar System.
This view shows the orbits of more than 14 000 known asteroids (with the Sun at the centre of the image) based on information from Gaia’s second data release, which was made public in 2018.
The majority of asteroids depicted in this image, shown in bright red and orange hues, are main-belt asteroids, located between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter; Trojan asteroids, found around the orbit of Jupiter, are shown in dark red.
In yellow, towards the image centre, are the orbits of several tens of near-Earth asteroids observed by Gaia: these are asteroids that come to within 1.3 astronomical units (AU) to the Sun at the closest approach along their orbit. The Earth circles the Sun at a distance of 1 AU (around 150 million km) so near-Earth asteroids have the potential to come into proximity with our planet.
Most asteroids that Gaia detects are already known, but every now and then, the asteroids seen by ESA's Milky Way surveyor do not match any existing observations. This is the case for the three orbits shown in grey in this view: these are Gaia’s first asteroid discoveries.
The three new asteroids were first spotted by Gaia in December 2018, and later confirmed by follow-up observations performed with the Haute-Provence Observatory in France, which enabled scientists to determine their orbits. Comparing these informations with existing observations indicated the objects had not been detected earlier.
While they are part of the main belt of asteroids, all three move around the Sun on orbits that have a greater tilt (15 degrees or more) with respect to the orbital plane of planets than most main-belt asteroids.
The population of such high-inclination asteroids is not as well studied as those with less tilted orbits, since most surveys tend to focus on the plane where the majority of asteroids reside. But Gaia can readily observe them as it scans the entire sky from its vantage point in space, so it is possible that the satellite will find more such objects in the future and contribute new information to study their properties.
Alongside the extensive processing and analysis of Gaia’s data in preparation for subsequent data releases, preliminary information about Gaia’s asteroid detections are regularly shared via an online alert system so that astronomers across the world can perform follow-up observations. To observe these asteroids, a 1-m or larger telescope is needed.
Once an asteroid detected by Gaia has been identified also in ground-based observations, the scientists in charge of the alert system analyse the data to determine the object’s orbit. In case the ground observations match the orbit based on Gaia’s data, they provide the information to the Minor Planet Center, which is the official worldwide organization collecting observational data for small Solar System bodies like asteroids and comets.
This process may lead to new discoveries, like the three asteroids with orbits depicted in this image, or to improvements in the determination of the orbits of known asteroids, which are sometimes very poorly known. So far, several tens of asteroids detected by Gaia have been observed from the ground in response to the alert system, all of them belonging to the main belt, but it is possible that also near-Earth asteroids will be spotted in the future.
A number of observatories across the world are already involved in these activities, including the Haute-Provence Observatory, Kyiv Comet station, Odessa-Mayaki, Terskol, C2PU at Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur and Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network. The more that join, the more we will learn about asteroids – known and new ones alike.

I had not seen this dart for several months (My last shot seems to be July last year) as it seemed to have been out-posted to Kettering. However, it is now in the reserve fleet, and today. the 1st of June 2018, I saw it pass me here on the way to Brownsover, so I decided to wait for it return, bound for the Admirals Estate.

Hewlett-Packard HP-35 calculator. $400. Introduced about April of 1972. Over 10x the price of a slide rule. HP Marketing forecast first year sales at 10K. Actually sold 100K. Pickett went out of business two yrs later. I bought one in 1973.
This is my slide rule from high school, 1963.
Caps were a bastard, couldn't really be fucked on this one.
Shouts to all the damage cats that turned up! Till next time killas! Stay tuned more to come.
unfortunately no techy black in this, rain washed away mulsh background. annoying. Some colours didnt work, hence lack of 3d shading/ bevel in some fills and fuck to be honest the bevels pretty shite in this one. Keep frosty kats.
Hit me up if you are in Ebrugh or Glasgow. Looking for more cats to paint with.

Ok so we live in the town next to where the New England Patriots play their football games; and I stopped for iced coffee, looked up and saw this triangular thing that looked like the Patriots game flag. Of course it looked like the Patriots flag, context and all that—- grin. But it’s probably some sort of fancy broadcast antenna

I've had trouble getting enough light for my photos at this time of the year. I thought a small LED lamp would help but the little ones seem to be afraid of it.

In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do, or say
Is in the pill you took today
In the year 4545
Ain't gonna need your teeth, won't need your eyes
You won't find a thing to do
Nobody's gonna look at you
In the year 5555
Your arms are hanging limp at your sides
Your legs not nothing to do
Some machine is doing that for you
In the year 6565
Ain't gonna need no husband, won't need no wife
You'll pick your son, pick your daughter too
From the bottom of a long black tube
In the year 7510
If God's a-comin' he ought to make it by then
Maybe he'll look around himself and say
Guess it's time for the Judgement day
In the year 8510
God's gonna shake his mighty head
He'll either say I'm pleased where man has been
Or tear it down and start again
In the year 9595
I'm kinda wondering if man's gonna be alive
He's taken everything this old earth can give
And he ain't put back nothing
Now it's been 10,000 years
Man has cried a billion tears
For what he never knew
Now man's reign is through
But through the eternal night
The twinkling of starlight
So very far away
Maybe it's only yesterday
In the year 2525
If man is still alive
If woman can survive
They may find
In the year 3535
Ain't gonna need to tell the truth, tell no lies
Everything you think, do or say
Is in the pill you took today ....
Sorry for not being around guys, i have been working two jobs and have missed so much i have to catch up with everything. So apologies for not catching up with your messages and work...
I had today free so felt i should catch up with my 52 weeks from missing last weeks theme of Technology. I had originally decided to do something combining man and machine but after thinking about it thought i would try the matrix style portraits i have always wanted to try!
It took a lot of layers to say the least but i think i got a similar effect to what i wanted, only downside it isn't dark enough between the highlights. Anyhoo, i'm pleased with the results despite that and hopefully will improve with practice. Now i have to rush off again and go prepare for more work, i hope i get a break soon! Catch up soon guys and gals! :)

Say hello to my new camera!
Well, you can't, because it's not in shot, but this is the first Rachel selfie I've done with my new Christmas present. I went up to Sydney yesterday to try it out, and couldn't resist a few shots of myself. It's excellent for selfies, since its built-in wifi alows me to use my phone to control it - set the focus and various other parameters, and then activate the timer.
Anyway, all that explains the rather strange expression; it's the look of a girl trying something out for the first time :)
The Strasburg Railroad's freight extra pulls a substantial cut of loaded freight from the NS interchange into town, passing through the corn maze/Amish tourist trap at Cherry Hill. With a train too big for the end-cab switcher up front, the 475's services were very much needed here.
I do have access to the terrains of Cern, the most technologically advanced Physics research site in the whole world.
Nevertheless, some good old technology remains in place.
At first, I did not try to use it. But in te end, I thought, why not ? So, I took up the phone and ran the number.
He answered. God himself.
And even delivered instantly what I asked for.
A new pair of socks.
