Before Mid-Century Design—First Generation Diesel Locomotives

These images were taken northwest of Milwaukee—at the Butler Yard diesel house, in Butler, Wisconsin.

Number 1684 is an Alco RSD5, built in 1954, while number 1589 is an EMD GP7 built in 1952. I’m surmising that both locomotive companies designed these, or pre-cursors thereto, back in the latter 1940s. The sharper edges of EMD’s GP30 would come along in 1961, while Alco’s Century line would be introduced in 1963.

I won’t lie: I think the asymmetrical trucks of the Alco are awesome.

Two images by Richard Koenig; taken August 28th 1977.

“Rapper's Delight” es el sencillo publicado hoy 16 de septiembre en 1979 por The Sugarhill Gang, conformado por Wonder Mike, Big Bank Hank y Master Gee. La canción está considerada como la primera en popularizar el hip hop en los Estados Unidos y en el resto del mundo a pesar de no ser la primera canción en incluir raperos. Está clasificada por la revista Rolling Stone en el n.º 248 de su lista “The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time” y en el n.º 2 del 100 Greatest Hip-Hop Songs de la cadena de televisión musical estadounidense VH1.

Los compositores de la canción utilizaron el tema Good Times (1979), del grupo Chic como base instrumental o beat para este tema. Antes de que comience el trasfondo de "Good Times", la introducción a la grabación es una interpolación de "Here Comes That Sound Again" del grupo de estudio británico Love De-Luxe, un éxito disco en 1979.

La canción fue grabada en una sola toma y se publicaron varias versiones de la canción, que varían en duración o en el formato del disco de vinilo: 

3:55 (single version) 4:55 (album version) 6:30 (12" short version) 7:07 (long single version) 14:35 (12" long version)

A New Year's post: On finding my coaching corner

Happy, Healthy 2024

It’s the first work Monday of 2024 for me, as auspicious a Monday as the one the ball dropped for on January 1, 2024. And so I will honor it with a post. It’s nothing short of amazing to me that at this time last year, I was struggling to be found as a coach. In July of 2021, I had stepped away from my full-time safety net with the very real hope that finally, I could and would dedicate more…

001: Hussle

So let me take you on a journey, starting with my transition from high school to college. I'm from New Jersey and before starting my four-year degree, I took my time to visit different schools and worked on a variety of freelance gigs. One project that stood out for me was a skit about colorism in a courthouse. I also had the opportunity to work with notable Jersey artists such as Lamar from Role Modelz, DJ Cali Cal, FatBoy SSE, and many more who supported me in the early stages of my career.

In my first semester of college, I enrolled in the Creative Arts and Technology (CAT) program at Bloomfield College. Although it was a great program with great educators and people, I soon realized that it wasn't the right fit for me and decided to transfer. While I was exploring different options, I came across a collective in Newark, New Jersey that was running its first and second internship program. ”SSMP” I reached out to @envisionedbyDenity and @NimiHendrix, and they welcomed me with open arms to come and intern with them. That experience taught me a lot about the filmmaking process and how to deal with people professionally.

After my internship, I decided to take a risk and audition for Mason Gross School of Arts at Rutgers University. I was one of the first transfer classes to be accepted into the program, and although I wasn't accepted into the filmmaking department, the visual arts department welcomed me with open arms. This new opportunity gave me a new set of goals to work towards and the pressure was on to succeed, being the first in my family to attend college.

Before starting my new semester, I decided to live a little and took a trip to LA with my collective. It was 2016, and I remember hopping off the plane, throwing my bags in the convertible and hitting the streets. The first thing we did was a photoshoot. 

On our drive to the desert, we were stuck in traffic and listening to Nipsey Hussle's "Crenshaw". At the time, I wasn't familiar with Nipsey but @Jabrillakeem introduced me to his music. The vibe of the song set the tone for the whole trip. After a quick photoshoot in the desert, I had the chance to meet Nipsey and showed him some of my photos. He was an honest guy and told me that my photos were good, but I needed to practice more. I agreed with his advice and started listening to more of his music.

I became a fan of Nipsey and his music continued to inspire me. This blog title and entry are a tribute to that! In conclusion, my journey out west has been one to remember, but each experience has taught me valuable lessons and led me to where I am today. I hope you enjoy the content on this blog and don't forget to check in next week's installment for more.

Being a first-generation college student is hard but incredibly rewarding. Remember to keep your head up, focus on what's important, and know that you deserve your college education. You are breaking your family's cycle and setting the tone for the next generations to come!

The Sugarhill Gang - Sugarhill Gang (07/02/1980)

Sugarhill Gang es el álbum debut homónimo del influyente grupo de rap Sugarhill Gang. Se considera que es el primer álbum de estudio de hip hop, lo que lleva a más álbumes de estudio de otros raperos. El álbum fue lanzado el 7 de febrero de 1980 por Sugarhill Records y fue producido por Sylvia Robinson.

El sencillo "Rapper's Delight" fue el primer sencillo de rap en convertirse en un éxito Top 40 en el Billboard Hot 100, alcanzando el número 36 en la lista pop de EE. UU. y el número 4 en la lista de R&B. Aunque "Rapper's Delight" fue el único sencillo en las listas de éxitos, el álbum también incluyó el éxito menor, "Rapper's Reprise". Aparte de los dos sencillos y "Sugarhill Groove", el resto del LP consta de varias pistas de soul de tempo lento y un disco instrumental, ya que Sylvia Robinson no creía que un álbum que constara completamente de música hip hop sería comercialmente viable en 1980.

It is a truth that iPhone 4S reveives most attention among this years'devices

It is a truth that iPhone 4S reveives most attention among this years'devices. Although, many upgrades on hardware are not satisfied bymost of the Apple Fans, iPhone 4S's camera is really satisfied me. Onone hand, the brand Copper Wire new 800 million pixels back-illuminated CMOScamear is 60% higher than the previous iPhone 4, on the other hand,it is worth to talk about the series attempts of iPhone 4S on takingphotogragh. Today, I will talk about the Three major upgrades ofiPhone 4S's camera.Howis the photo effect of iPhone 4S?In2011, 800 million pixels is not at the leading position. Appleupgrades iPhone 4S's camera to 800 million pixels just as its alwaysnegligence to camera. Tough the hardware is not that outstanding, wecan see that the previous iPhone 4's photo effect is superior toother mobile phones.

So I am really excitting to see the iPhone 4S'scamera.Thistime Apple gives iPhone 4S's camera three major upgrades: 800 millionpixels, 1080p full HD video and faster response speed. Nowadays,people is more and more reasonable on camera's pixels. People nolonger think that the higher the pixel is, the better the camera is.That's right. Under the same sensor technology, the high pixelsometimes brings users more noise and longer save time. At the sametime, people now are using twitter and mobile phone's screen is now1280 * 720 most, too many pixel can not be seen on the screen. Frommy pion of view, I think the 800 million pixel does mean somethingfor iPhone 4S. Why? Because iOS is a kind of operating system that"depending on app". On the publish conference, Tim Coke,the CEO of Apple, talks about iCould more than once which connectingiOS and Mac OS closely. On the big screen of iMac 27, people canenjoy every corner of the photo from iPhone 4S's 800 million pixelscamera. That is to say that app makes iPhone 4S having such highpixels.Altoughcellphone video share tech is not that common for people as cellphone's photo share today, with the development of 3G and 4G, it willbe a common thing for users to share videos from their mobile phones.From iPhone 4, iphone family support taking HD video (not the highestone), but its effect is acceptable, even better than some kind of DC.

Iphone4S supports full HD video taking as the prediction of media andanalysis. We can not say anyting about it before we see the officialsample of its full HD video from iPhone 4S. But one thing isdefiniately true that 1920*1080 HD video will be used more and morewidely with the development of monitor and mobile device's support tofull HD video.Somefans may notice that iPhone 4S supports electronic imagestabilization, which is underestimate by people for its lowing thevideo quality. But if you use it in the right way, it is a great techof course, especially when you are taking video. Under the support ofright algorithm, its effect is perfect, even better than the firstgeneration of optical image stabilization.Imagesensor, lens and image processor are the three major technology of acamera. Lens is the same, image sensor got major upgrade, now let ustalk about iPhone 4S's upgrade on processor. Compare with BIGIC andBionz's single processor, iPhone 4S's brain A5 is dual-core andresponssible for processing all the info of iPhone 4S, includingphoto and video. The official saying of Apple is A5 is 7x faster thanA4. From the two generation of iPad, we know that A5 is much powerfulthan A4. That is a good thing for removing the noise on the photo ofiPhone 4S. Also iPhone 4S is 33% faster than iPhone 4 on systemresponse speed. This allows users to take pictures on fast movingthings and reduce the interval time of two photos. Apple said that onfocus speed, white balance and metering accuracy, iPhone 4S is muchbetter than its previous.Letus come to the conclusion, altough iPhone 4S's upgrade is not thatimpressive than the iPad 2's, you can see how much Apple care fromthe iPhone 4S's camera.
