Motor workshop found on the way back from a work pub lunch celebrating a previously British colleague now becoming an Aussie.
I decided to make my own dropout alignment tools. The Park ones have the annoying feature of moving around in the dropout while you're trying to tighten them down. The Stein ones solve this by using quick-release clamps, but then require you to adjust the spacing with a difficult-to-use collar instead of a screw thread (and they cost 3x as much). So here's the best of both worlds: quick-release clamps, long arms, and a nice tight screw thread adjustment.
These megalith alignments, contemporary to those (more famous) of Carnac, show that the Crozon peninsula was inhabited since many thousands of years. The standing stones date from about 2500 BC. In the beginning there were probably more than 400 stones; today there are only 65 left, arranged in three lines that form three of the four sides of a rectangle. The longest line is about 200 m. It is assumed that the arrangement had an astronomic significance related to the constellation of Pleiades whose name in Breton is “ar yar” (the hen), hence the name of the place derived from “Lagad-Yar” (hen’s eye).

Aliniamentele de megaliţi, contemporanele cu cele (mai cunoscute) de la Carnac, aratǎ cǎ peninsula Crozon a fost locuitǎ de mai multe mii de ani. Menhirele dateazǎ din anii 2500 î.Ch. Iniţial, în amplasament s-au aflat probabil peste 400 de pietre; astǎzi au mai rǎmas 65, dispuse în trei linii formând trei din laturile unui dreptunghi. Cea mai lungǎ dintre ele are cca. 200 m. Se presupune cǎ amplasamentul a avut unele semnificaţii de naturǎ astronomicǎ, fiind legate de constelaţia Pleiadelor, purtând în bretonǎ numele de “ar yar” (gǎina), de unde şi numele locului derivat din “Lagad-Yar” (ochiul gǎinii).

A group of core networking volunteers and friends from past events (like What the Hack 2005, Hacking at Random 2009, Chaos Communication Camp 2011, Observe. Hack. Make 2013) needed to make alterations to a few kilometers of fiber optic cable to be ready for upcoming events such as Chaos Communication Camp 2015, Campzone 2015 and SHA2017.
This turned into a fusion splicing (fiber splicing) workshop.

Noticed these misalignment issues when trying to assemble the line of pier and waterline (I thought it was me who was the problem!). These puzzles all have 3 vertical seams: between pieces 13/14, 25/26, and 37/38. Here you can see the middle and right-hand seam, and how the pieces are off alignment (but only in some areas, it looks like!). I have come to expect small alignment issues in puzzles, but it's pretty bad to see this in just a 2000 piece.
This hasn't completely ruined my puzzle experience, but I can already hear the complaints from fellow collectors. Making high-art puzzles is going to attract a picky audience. Probably a big reason why former art puzzle manufacturer Ricordi folded had to do with complaints from customers over quality issues. I remember reading many negative comments about Ricordi on Amazon, the German puzzle forum and from other sources, and when I finally got around to building some Ricordis last year I was surprised to find the quality decent if not top-notch. Grafika will need to do a better job than this to keep its customers - though on the other hand, art puzzle collectors are so desperate for new images that they may live with these issues. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have the best of both worlds: well-chosen art designs combined with exquisite manufacturing.
Summary of cpcB.(A?B) cpcB mRNA levels during the life cycle of A. nidulans (A) and A. fumigatus (B). Conidia (asexual spores) are indicated as C. The numbers indicate the time (hours) after incubation in liquid MMG (Vegetative), and on solid MMG under conditions inducing conidiation (Asexual) or sexual development (Sexual). The relative band intensities (mean?SD) of Northern blot were determined by densitometric scanning of mRNA bands using ImageJ and each band was normalized by the amount of 18S rRNA (cpcB/18S rRNA) in the relevant lane. Ethidium bromide staining of ribosomal RNAs was used as a loading control. (C) Alignment of A. nidulans (Ani) CpcB, A. fumigatus (Afu) CpcB, A. flavus (Afl) CpcB with Gib2 of C. neoformans var. grubii (Cgr; accession: AY907679) and C. neoformans var. neoformans (Cne; accession: AY907680). ClustalW (align.genome.jp/) and BoxShade 3.21 (www.ch.embnet.org/software/BOX_form.html) were used for the alignment and presentation. (D) A phylogenetic tree of CpcB-like proteins identified in various fungal species including A. clavatus, A. flavus, A. fumigatus, A. nidulans, A. niger, A. oryzae, A. terreus (A?=?Aspergillus), C. neoformans, Neurospora crassa, Penicillium chrysogenum, Penicillium marneffei, Schizophyllum commune, Schizosaccharomyces japonicus and Talaromyces stipitatus. The putative CpcB proteins were retrieved from NCBI BlastX (blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi) using A. nidulans CpcB. A phylogenetic tree of 14 putative CpcB homologues was generated by the TreeTop software (genebee.msu.su/services/phtree_reduced.html) using the alignment data from ClustalW. The phylogenetic tree is constructed based on the matrix of pairwise distances between sequences. Numbers indicate the computed distances given the residue substitution weights from the alignment data [59].

The Orion-theory that the alignment and placement of the pyramids of Giza is widely known, though much discredited.
Whilst reading up on the theory, i came across this, alternate theory to the alignment and layout of the pyramids of the Giza plateau.
Primarily they focused on something much closer than the Orion constellation, rather they set reflect the inner planets of our solar system: Mercury, Venus, Earth, and Mars.
This theory rests on several remarkable coincidences
1. the 3 misaligned pyramids have an angular separation equaling 191.6 degrees, or the identical angular distance Mars travels in one Earth year
2. the distances from the peaks of the pyramids are proportionally identical to the distance of the inner planets from one another
3. the three pyramid bases are directly proportional to the physical size for these four inner planets. The two largest pyramids have a size ratio very similar to Earth and Venus, while the third and smallest pyramid equals the "average" size ratio for the two smallest planets, Mars and Mercury
Thus some argue, their their main objective was to emphasize planet motion and the arrangement of the 4 inner planets.
This pyramid/planet comparison begs the question is it the result of a great engineering coincidence? Or were the pyramids constructed with the intent of reflecting the heavens -- and how did the Ancient Egyptians poccess this intimate knowledge of the Solar system, and how was it lost to mankind?

I turned a cylinder of stainless steel to the identical outside diameter of the tailstock spindle (39.98mm). Then brought the tailstock spindle up against the just-turned cylinder in the chuck, locked the carriage and locked the tailstock and tailstock spindle. Then, using a tenths-indicator mounted to the apron, I could adjust the tailstock lateral position to be coplanar to the just-turned cylinder.
This seemed like a good idea at the time, but one of the screw heads for the machine heads sheared off. I was not happy.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) lab shown to Higher Chemistry pupils during the University of St. Andrew's 'Chemistry School'. Proton NMR is and C-13 NMR are both widely used in identifying the arrangment of hydrogen and carbon atoms in organic compounds. NMR works on the principle that certain isotopes such as hydrogen-1 and carbon-13 act like tiny magnets which align with or against a strong magnetic field. When subjected to a burst of electromagnetic radiation the atoms change alignment in the magnetic field. The energy of absorption by the nuclei varies depending on adjoining functional groups.

Just received it today. It was too expensive to ship the one made by Joel (Clockwork) from the US, so I found somebody who could CNC mill it for me. It also allowed me to customize it for my height gauge.
The design is very, very much inspired by this one ! :

Seven Lakes Drive is a north–south parkway located in the Hudson Valley region of New York in the United States. It extends for just under 18 miles (29 km) on a northeast–southwest alignment from an intersection with New York State Route 17 (NY 17) in the village of Sloatsburg to a junction with U.S. Route 9W (US 9W) and US 202 south of the Bear Mountain Bridge in the town of Stony Point. Most of the highway is located in either Harriman or Bear Mountain state parks, save for a small stretch near its western end. Ownership of Seven Lakes Drive is split between three entities, two of which are also responsible for maintenance of the road.
Sections of Seven Lakes Drive and several other roads in the park system (Tiorati Brook Road, Lake Welch Drive, and Perkins Memorial Drive), are closed for the winter from December through March.
As its name implies, Seven Lakes Drive passes by seven lakes located at various points along the road. From south to north, the lakes are Lake Sebago and Lake Kanawauke in the towns of Haverstraw and Tuxedo; Lake Skannatati and Lake Askoti in Tuxedo; Lake Tiorati in Tuxedo and Woodbury; Silver Mine Lake in Woodbury; and Queensboro Lake in Highlands.
The highway is not owned by a single entity; instead, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the Palisades Interstate Park Commission (PIPC), and the village of Sloatsburg all own different parts of the road. In Sloatsburg, Seven Lakes Drive is locally owned and maintained for 0.44 miles (0.71 km) from Waldron Terrace to a connector leading to Johnsontown Road. The 0.33-mile (0.53 km) segment leading west from Waldron Terrace to NY 17 is state-owned and maintained as NY 981G while the remainder of the route is owned by PIPC and maintained by NYSDOT as the 17.15-mile (27.60 km) NY 987E. Both designations are reference routes and are unsigned.
Seven Lakes Drive begins at an intersection with NY 17 in the village of Sloatsburg. It heads northeast through the community, crossing over the Ramapo River and intersecting a handful of residential village streets before passing under the New York State Thruway (Interstate 87). The highway continues to run past homes on the opposite side of the Thruway overpass, where it intersects Johnsontown Road, a road that parallels Seven Lakes Drive for 1.5 miles (2.4 km) before terminating at a dead end adjacent to the parkway. Seven Lakes Drive meets a short, unnamed connector to Johnsontown Road just 0.25 miles (0.40 km) later, at which point the road begins to pass through undeveloped wooded areas on its way across Stony Brook and into Harriman State Park.

Just east of the Stony Brook bridge, the Pine Meadow Trail begins on the southeast side of the highway. The road loosely parallels Stony Brook as it heads deeper into the park and serves the Reeves Meadow Visitor Center. The center is also a trailhead for the Reeves Brook Trail, with the Pine Meadow Trail passing the facility on its southeast side. Past the visitor center, the parallel alignments of Seven Lakes Drive and Johnsontown Road come to an end as the latter ends at a cul-de-sac adjacent to the former. The dead end serves as the trailhead for two hiking trails: the Blue Disc Trail, which starts just before the cul-de-sac; and the White Bar Trail, which begins at the cul-de-sac's northern end. Not far from this point, the Kakiat Trail crosses Seven Lakes Drive on its way toward Kakiat County Park.
The parkway continues to follow Lake Kanawauke to Kanawauke Circle, where it intersects with County Route 106 (CR 106), formerly part of NY 210. Not far from the junction, Seven Lakes Drive passes two more lakes, Lake Skannatati to the west and Lake Askoti to the east, as it slowly curves to the north. The highway crosses the Long Path near Lake Skannatati and connects to a parking area near Lake Askoti. Another trail, the Red Cross Trail, traverses Seven Lakes Drive at the northern end of Lake Askoti. About a half-mile (0.8 km) north of Lake Askoti is Lake Tiorati, located along the eastern edge of the road. As the highway runs past the lake, it turns back to the northeast and eventually reaches Tiorati Circle at the northern tip of the lake. The junction serves as the east end of Arden Valley Road, the west end of Tiorati Brook Road, and the trailhead of the Lake Tiorati Trail.
Seven Lakes Drive continues northeast from the circle, intersecting with several trails, including the Ramapo–Dunderberg Trail and the Appalachian Trail. A crossing of the Menomine Trail follows as the parkway turns to the east. The Menomine Trail follows Seven Lakes Drive for a short distance to nearby Silver Mine Lake on the south edge of the road. The Silver Mine Ski Road, a trail paralleling most of the lake, meets the parkway at the eastern lakeshore. From here, the road parallels Queensboro Brook for roughly 1 mile (1.6 km) to reach the Long Mountain Roundabout adjacent to Queensboro Lake, the last of the seven lakes from south to north. Here, Seven Lakes Drive directly intersects US 6 and indirectly connects to the nearby Palisades Interstate Parkway (PIP) by way of ramps leading away from the circle. Seven Lakes Drive follows US 6 through the circle, joining the route as both roads merge onto the PIP
The overlap with both US 6 and the PIP lasts for just 0.2 miles (0.32 km) as Seven Lakes Drive leaves the PIP at the next junction, a trumpet interchange southwest of Bear Mountain. Seven Lakes Drive heads eastward from the interchange, running along the southern base of the large mountain as it intersects with several trails and passes seamlessly into the adjacent Bear Mountain State Park. Just east of the park boundary, the highway crosses the county line once again, re-entering Rockland County near its northernmost point. At the southeastern edge of Bear Mountain, Seven Lakes Drive begins to descend a series of switchbacks as it enters the Hudson River valley. The road gradually makes its way to the western edge of the river, where it ends at an intersection with US 9W and US 202 due east of Bear Mountain's and just south of the Bear Mountain Bridge.
Continuing on, Seven Lakes Drive begins to parallel the White Bar Trail as both head to the northeast through the rugged, forested terrain of the park. Eventually, the White Bar Trail splits from the parkway and proceeds to the north while Seven Lakes Drive remains on a generally northeasterly track. Stony Brook reaches its source at Lake Sebago, the first of the seven lakes the road passes, where the Tuxedo–Mount Ivy Trail briefly follows the parkway before turning off to the east. The highway runs along the southeastern shore of Lake Sebago for just over 1 mile (1.6 km), passing a lakeside parking area and a ski trail. Past the lake, Seven Lakes Drive makes a slight turn to the north before intersecting with the Lake Welch Parkway by way of an elongated traffic circle. The road reverts to a northeasterly routing past the junction, briefly paralleling the Rockland–Orange county line as it runs past Lake Kanawauke's southeastern edge. Seven Lakes Drive crosses the county line near the lake's midpoint.
