This quickly became a very moving experience once realizing what we had stumbled upon. There are 110 pillors, one for each who perished in the senceless accident. Though I did not know at the time, I was astonished to notice that it did sit perpendicular to the highway or pond and wondered why. It was not until my final photo that that I noticed that its shaped formed an arrowhead that looked to be pointing towards a possible crash site. That's exactly what it is 8 miles deep into the Everglades. DO NOT MISS THIS, FIND IT!

Jack Richeson & Company premium gesso panel
22.9 x 30.5 (9 x 12 inches)
Process: This tries out a poster study concept introduced to me in a workshop by M. Tobias Hall at the New Mexico Art League studio. It tests out the look of broad areas of hue, chroma, and values.
After Action Evaluation: (1) If anything, I was too detailed and took two painting sessions (after application of wash to the panel), instead of one short session. (2) This is as much a paint mixing process as a painting process. (3) Specifically, this identifiec a sun color that really didn't work.

This location opened on April 11th, 2002; it was originally part of an HQ, which opened on September 1st, 1994 (originally located here) and closed in December 1999. Outside signage was replaced in March 2018.
Today is the 12th day of a 30 day challenge. The objective is to shoot one shot per day on subject matter provided by the local camera club.
Today's subject matter is, "something of sentimental value".
In our office, we have been discussing the values of the office for the past several months. We were asked to make a diagram about values. I decided to compare my personal values to those of the offices.
My values are the yellow ones. The offices's values are the blue ones. Where those values overlap, the value is in green. The size of the circle is determined by how much the value is worth. The circles around the values are assessments of where i think the values should be.
All in all, i think that this diagram shows how lucky i am to have a job that encompasses so many of my values.

The NHS Values Summit brings together a diverse range of people and perspectives to create a greater understanding of how people’s differences, social status and cultural expectations can affect their experiences of health and care.
It challenges and inspires people to think about the role of ethical leadership in improving the health and wellbeing of local communities, staff and patients and how the NHS can increase the social value of its activities.
Welcoming representatives from health and social care, alongside more than 20 partners from the voluntary and community sector, this event (in Leeds, Yorkshire) was a template for future NHS Values Summits, which will be held twice a year in different locations across the country. Each event will explore a different theme relating to equality, health inequalities and human rights. The next gathering will take place in May 2013.
The Kasbah des Oudaias is located in Rabat, the capital of Morocco, which is situated near to the Atlantic coast. Like most other cities in Morocco, Rabat is old and has a lot of historical value. But what makes Rabat different in comparison to other cities is the section of the city called Kasbah des Oudaias.
The Kasbah des Oudaias is a picturesque place with houses and streets that are of a different standard to the rest of the city. All the houses are white and look like they have just been painted with bright blue parapets. The Kasbah des Oudaias provides you with the most amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean and of Sale, Rabat's neighboring city. This part of city is quiet and there are relatively few people walking around the maze of streets. This makes exploring the northern parts of the city a lot more fun.
Located in the vicinity of Kasbah des Oudaia is the oldest mosque in the capital, namely the Kasbah Mosque. The mosque was built in the mid-eleventh century and the beautiful gateway (Bab Oudaia) that leads you to the Kasbah was built in the twelfth century. The mosque was enlarged and renovated later in the eighteenth century.
The busiest parts of Kasbah des Oudaia are the beaches, where you can sit and watch the ocean waves as they come in and hit the Kasbah walls for hours. Hundreds of people from outside of Morocco come to Kasbah des Oudaia because of its shoreline and its picturesque views. You will notice that there is quite a bit of repair work being done on the old buildings and houses near the beach.

The Kasbah of the Udayas is a kasbah in Rabat, Morocco. It was built during the reign of the Almohads. When the Almohads had captured Rabat and destroyed the kasbah of the Almoravids in the town, they began reconstructing it in AH 544 / AD 1150. They added a palace and a mosque and named it al-Mahdiyya, after their ancestor al-Mahdi Ibn Tumart. After the death of Yaqub al-Mansur (AH 595 / AD 1199) the kasbah was deserted. [Wikipedia.org]
"All of democracy's values [spring from] police guns"
A young father was "mistakenly" executed by police in a hail of bullets, one week ago in Athens, during a botched attempt to arrest heavily armed robbers. Police brutality in Greece, especially towards migrants, continues unabated, despite repeated pledges by the Minister of Public Protection to curb abuse, and as the trial of the police officer arrested for the murder of 15-year old Alexandros Grigoropoulos in December 2008, which sparked country-wide riots, goes on.
Moomba Boats @MoombaBoats is digitally chronicling the first production build of the new Mojo 2.5 wakeboard boat with daily build photo posts. This series of blog posts and photos galleries will illustrate the superior production processes that make a Moomba boat.
Today is the fourth production day of this new Moomba wide-bow wake boat. We have seen the deck created and pulled from the mold. Today we will see the structure of the hull completed in the mold with the sub floor installation and then we will see it pulled out. After the hull has been pulled it will be closely inspected. The deck and the hull together are starting to look like the Mojo.
After the CompSys Stingers have been laminated inside the hull the sub floor of the Mojo is installed. This first floor is affixed to the stringers and the inside of the hull with WeldOn, a chemical adhesive that forms a stronger bond than fiberglass. WeldOn actually changes the molecular structure of the two materials it is joining to make them literally one part. So at this point in the Moomba Mojo construction the hull, stringers and sub floor become one.
Now we come to a step that is foregone by most of our competitors. At this stage in production a Moomba boat, no matter which model, is injected with Closed Cell Flotation Foam beneath the floor. The injection of this foam insures there are no open air voids in the structure of the boat. This process dampens noise and vibration as well as improves the boat structural integrity. This is a large part of why Moomba boats are the quietest value performance boats in the industry. The Coast Guard does not require this flotation foam in boat models over 20 feet in length. This is why many of our competitors skip this step to save time and money. Moomba injects all of their models with full flotation foam. We don't build boat this way because it is easy. We do it because it is the right way.
Once the sub floor has been installed and the WeldOn is properly set, the hull is ready to be pulled from the mold. When this separation occurs we will see the exterior gel coat of the first production Mojo hull for the first time.
Just like the deck the hull has an incomparable shine even right after it has been pulled. This amazing finish is thanks to meticulous conditioning and preparation. But even a nearly perfect surface requires scrutiny at Moomba. After the hull is pulled it is closely examined under lights to reveal any imperfection no matter how small. The items, if any, are marked for attention and addressed before the boat leaves the factory.
Tomorrow this Mojo will be in rigging ready to except its Indmar engine. Tune in to the Moomba Mojo Build Day 5 on the blog for that powerful experience.
One of the many great things about the individuals who work on the production line at Moomba Boats, is their dedication to continued improvement. They are constantly looking to better themselves and the processes they execute everyday. The results are evident in the new Mojo 2.5.
Stay tuned to the Moomba Boats Blog for more photos and production process descriptions of the first production Mojo 2.5 build. Your Mojo could be next. Moomba is brand you!

I have been working on an image of M42 to figure out how to isolate the individual wavelengths of the Narrow band filters and combine to show the discrete parts of the nebula.
When we take an image using a narrow band filter with a monochrome camera, all it knows are values from 0-255 (8 bit) or 0-65536 (16 bit) brightness values.
Since each filter isolates a particular wavelength by being a narrow bandpass filter we should only get what is say, Ha, OIII, Hb, SII and so one. And we do. However, each discrete point of light at a particular wavelength from a filter will quite possibly be occupying the same point in space as another discrete point of light at a different wavelength or color.
The question then becomes what is the contribution (concentration of an element at each point in space (nebula).
For this, I decided to use a weighting formula in PixInsight to determine the amount of contribution of a particular filter to each point in space. I did this because at say x0,y0 Ha filter gives a brightness value of say 200, OIII filter gives 225, and Hb filter gives 128.
By using the following equation one can determine the contribution amount of a filter to each point in space. Then the resultant set of images now "weighted" for their contributions to a particular emission line can be combined into a "false" color rgb image to show the structure of the nebula better. Or so the thought goes.
One caveat in PixInisght is that the resultant image was "bright" (no stretch applied) so an additional operation was done where the resultant images were each divided by 100.
Following is the resultant image. No noise reduction a quick stretch using Masked stretch and Histogram curves and a run thru curves.
By doing this the main contribution to different parts of the nebula would be due to the particular emission associated with a particular filter.
The mapping is thus: R = Modified Ha, G = Modified OIII, B = Modified Hb.
If the hypothesis is correct, the bluish background and deep blues etc are primarilay Hb, greens are OIII (kind of makes sense where new stars are formed?) and then R = modified Ha.
There is still a lot of work to prove this out, but in a sense it should be correct as the same methodolgy/equaiton is used in engineering to determine the contributions of a stack of material like Aluminium, Steel, Brass as an example. The equation can be based on area and modulus of the material or on the 2nd moment of area and modulus of the material. In this manner then the contribution to the bending or axial stiffness can be determined for each material making up that stackup.
Using the same methodology, for the contribution of an emission at a particular point in space can be done. The equation is:
(Ha/(Ha+OIII+Hb))/100, (OIII/(Ha+OIII+Hb))/100, (Ha/(Hb+OIII+Hb))/100. Dividing by 100 only scales the resultant individual pixel brightness for PixInsight to be able to more adequately perform typical stretching, etc.
It should be noted too that the operations are performed on linear images in PixelMath, no rescaling and no truncation so that the actual raw data is operated on.
The resultant image is a bit unsettling for a color pallet however, the goal was more scientific than in producing an image to put on a wall. The stars were removed, but effort was not made to ensure 100% of stars were removed. A final step could be to add the stars back in.
The image is unusual enough it might work on a wall.
This is a work in progress and as such has not been vetted.
