What might look like an abstract artwork is actually a novel antenna, small enough for a minisatellite, to track global ship traffic from orbit.
Commercial vessels are mandated to transmit Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals, which are used to track maritime traffic – the oceangoing equivalent of air traffic control. The system relies on VHF radio signals with a horizontal range of just 40 nautical miles (74 km), useful within coastal zones and on a ship-to-ship basis, but leaving open ocean traffic largely uncovered.
However, in 2010 ESA fitted an experimental antenna to Europe’s Columbus module of the International Space Station, demonstrating for the first time that AIS signals could also be detected from up in orbit, opening up the prospect of global ship tracking from space.
“Based on our testing, this new prototype designs offers a four-fold increase in ship detection performance,” explains ESA antenna specialist Nelson Fonseca, overseeing the project.
“The AIS detection system on Columbus employs a low-gain ‘whip’ antenna, receiving signals within a very broad beam, with corresponding potential for signal overlap and interference.
“This antenna design combines higher-gain with a more reduced footprint, allowing more of a focus on regions of highest interest, and can also discriminate between polarisations, increasing the likelihood of detection for any individual AIS signal within the antenna field of view.”
In addition, clever engineering has shrunk the overall antenna size to a size where up to five could be hosted on a single cubic-metre minisatellite.
“Despite its name, VHF is quite a low wavelength in space terms, implying a bulky antenna of about 1 m across and half-a-metre thick to operate ideally at that frequency,” Nelson adds.
“But the patterned square-shaped structure on the underlying face of our antenna changes the signal behaviour, enabling us to shrink the design to 50 cm width and 3 cm thickness – making it suitable for hosting on a smaller platform.”
The antenna was developed through ESA’s ARTES Advanced Research in Telecommunications Systems – Advanced Technology programme with Italian companies CGS as prime contractor and MVG as subcontractor in charge of the electrical design.
“CGS and MVG are highly interested in moving forward with the optimisation and environmental qualification of this outstanding antenna element,” explains Andrea Di Cintio, managing the project at CGS. “The next step will be to identify a specific mission and then optimise the design and qualification accordingly.”
“Significant reduction of antenna dimensions and weight without compromising electrical performance was challenging,” adds Andrea Giacomini, lead antenna designer at MVG. “It required a radical change in the design and validation approach. We are proud to have been involved.”

I believe this is the first toy photo I've posted to Flickr that was lit by my camera's flash. I typically use lamps, flashlights, LEDs, etc.
This image is straight out of the camera: no tweaking, no color processing, no cropping, no nothing.

Castelvecchio (Italian: "Old Castle") is a castle in Verona, northern Italy. It is the most important military construction of the Scaliger dynasty that ruled the city in the Middle Ages.
The castle is powerful and compact in its size with very little decoration - one square compound built in red bricks, one of the most prominent examples of Gothic architecture of the age, with imposing M-shaped merlons running along the castle and bridge walls. It has seven towers, a superelevated keep (maschio) with four main buildings inside. The castle is surrounded by a ditch, now dry, which was once filled with waters from the nearby Adige.
Castelvecchio is now home to the Castelvecchio Museum and the local officer's club which can be accessed through the left door on Corso Cavour.
History
The castle stands on the probable location of a Roman fortress outside the Roman city. Lord Cangrande II della Scala had it built along with its bridge across the Adige River as a deterrent to his powerful neighbors such as Venice, the Gonzaga and the Sforza families. Construction was carried out between 1354 and 1376 (Cangrande died in 1359). The fortified bridge was intended to allow the seigniors to escape safely northwards to the Tyrol in the event of a rebellion or a coup d'état (the Scaligeri were allies of the Holy Roman Empire) and when they eventually lost their hold on Verona, its surviving members left Italy to found a German branch of the family.
Later, during the Venetian domination, the bridge was further fortified to defend it with cannons. The castle was damaged by French troops during the Napoleonic Wars (1796-7), in retaliation to the Pasque Veronesi, when the local population staged a violent anti-French revolt. Napoleon had chosen to stay in Castelvecchio on his trips to Verona, but his widespread and arbitrary requisitions of citizens' and churches' property, the massive draft of male workers into the French army prompted the resistance that eventually drove out the invaders.
The bridge was destroyed by the retreating German army in 1945 and rebuilt in 1949.
Under the Austrians, Castelvecchio was turned into barracks. In 1923 the castle was restored, as well as in 1963-1965.

Castelvecchio war die Kastellburg der Scaliger in Verona. Seit 1923 beherbergt das Gebäude ein Museum.
Name
Der Name Castelvecchio (deutsch Alte Burg) entstand erst Jahrzehnte nach der Errichtung der Burg, um sie von den neueren von den Viscontis erbauten Burgen, dem Castello San Felice und dem Castel San Pietro, leichter zu unterscheiden.
Ursprünglich wurde die Scaligerburg als Castello di San Martino in Aquaro bezeichnet, in Anlehnung an eine gleichnamige Kirche, von der nur noch einige Mauerreste im Innenhof der Burg erhalten geblieben sind.
Geschichte
Cangrande II. della Scala ließ das Castelvecchio zwischen 1354 und 1356 errichten. Die Randlage am Etschufer wurde dabei bewusst gewählt. So sollte die Burg nicht nur Schutz vor äußeren Feinden bieten, sondern auch als Zufluchtsort vor Übergriffen aus der Bevölkerung oder der eigenen Verwandtschaft dienen. Als Fluchtweg wurde 1355 die Scaligerbrücke über die Etsch erbaut, die ursprünglich nur von der Burg aus erreichbar war und deren Begehung allein den Burginsassen vorbehalten war. Unter der Signoria von Bartolomeo II. della Scala und seinem jüngeren Bruder Antonio della Scala wurde 1375 der Bergfried, der auch als Brückenturm diente, fertiggestellt, woran ein Gedenkstein im Bergfried erinnert. Nur wenige Jahre darauf war das Ende der Scaligerherrschaft gekommen, als Antonio della Scala im Oktober 1387 in der Burg vergeblich Zuflucht vor den angreifenden Truppen Gian Galeazzo Viscontis suchte, und Burg und Stadt schließlich übergeben musste.
In den folgenden Jahrhunderten wurde das Gebäude mehrfach verändert. Die Venezianer nutzten das Castel als Festung und als Lagerhaus; den französischen und österreichischen Besatzern diente es als Kaserne. 1923 trat der Staat das Nutzungsrecht an die Stadt Verona ab. Von 1924 bis 26 fanden Umbauarbeiten statt, um das Gebäude als Museum zu nutzen. Bei diesen Arbeiten wurde massiv in die Bausubstanz und -struktur eingegriffen. Im Sinne des Historismus orientierte man sich an Bauformen der Renaissance; dabei verwendete man Material von Überresten der im Krieg in Verona zerstörten Paläste.
Am 14. und 15. November 1943 fand im Castelvecchio der erste Parteitag der neugegründeten Republikanischen Faschistischen Partei statt, die nach dem Sturz Mussolinis im Juli 1943 und dem Verbot der Faschistischen Partei im September des gleichen Jahres gegründet worden war. Auf dem Parteitag wurde unter Mitarbeit des deutschen Generalbevollmächtigten in Italien Rudolf Rahn das sogenannte Manifest von Verona verabschiedet, mit dem die Eckpunkte des Regierungsprogramms der Italienischen Sozialrepublik festgelegt wurden.
Wenige Wochen nach dem Parteikongress fand vom 8. bis 10. Januar 1944 wiederum im großen Saal der Burg der sogenannte Prozess von Verona statt. In dem Schauprozess wurden sieben ehemalige Mitglieder des Großen Faschistischen Rats, die in der Sitzung vom 24./25. Juli 1943 im Rom im Palazzo Venezia für die Absetzung von Benito Mussolinis als Oberbefehlshaber der italienischen Streitkräfte gestimmt hatten, wegen Hochverrats zum Tode verurteilt, darunter Galeazzo Ciano der Schwiegersohn Mussolinis.
Kurz vor der Befreiung Veronas durch die Alliierten in der Nacht vom 25. auf den 26. April 1945 wurden die beiden Etschbrücken Ponte Scaligero und Ponte Pietra am 24. April von der Wehrmacht gesprengt. Erstere wurde zwischen 1949 und 1951 wiederaufgebaut, letztere 1957.
Zwischen 1958 und 1964 wurde das Museum vom italienischen Architekten Carlo Scarpa umgebaut.
Das Museum
Gezeigt werden Werke der Veroneser Malerei von der Gotik bis ins 17. Jahrhundert, mit einem besonderen Schwerpunkt auf der Kunst der Renaissance. Darunter sind Werke von Stefano da Verona, Pisanello, Giovanni Francesco und Giovanni Caroto oder Liberale da Verona. Außerdem besitzt das Museum mehrere bedeutende Werke der venezianischen Malerei, darunter Werke von Andrea Mantegna, Jacopo, Giovanni und Gentile Bellini, Carlo Crivelli, Jacopo Tintoretto, Tizian, Paolo Veronese sowie Giambattista und Giandomenico Tiepolo.
Kunstraub
Am 19. November 2015 wurden aus dem Museum 17 Gemälde im Wert von ca. 15 Millionen Euro gestohlen. Die Räuber kannten offenbar das Museum bestens und gingen äußerst professionell vor und es wird vermutet, dass sie auf Bestellung gehandelt haben. Die gestohlenen Werke, darunter „Die Wachtel-Madonna“ von Antonio Pisanello (1420), „Die Heilige Familie mit der Heiligen“ von Andrea Mantegna (um 1500) und „Die Dame von Licnidi“ von Peter Paul Rubens, gelten als unverkäuflich.

From where I sit at this moment, Orkney seems so remote. It's easy to forget that it sits just off John o' Groats and was a bit of Scotland nibbled away and submerged at the end of the Last Glacial Period. Prior to that, the lowered sea levels left Doggerland high and dry — a convenient stepping stone for humans to repopulate Britain from the rest of Europe. Yes, I've been to the very north of the archipelago, to North Ronaldsay. Today I'm away to South Ronaldsay — ironically juxtaposed at opposite ends from its northern namesake. This won't take me to Orkney's most southerly isle, Stroma, which to be honest has less water between it and Scotland that it has between itself and the rest of Orkney.
Here's a reminder of how compact these islands are. This is the northern tip of Glimps Holm looking back across Lamb Holm to Mainland. By now I've crossed two of the causeways constructed as navigation barriers in WWII. There are what appears to be military installations, there on the cliffs of Lamb Holm. In the middleground lie relics of the block ships sunk here early in WWI. I think this was the SS Numidian, an almost 5000 ton steel hulled steamer scuttled here on 30 December 1914. She was sunk in the company of SS Aorangi, SS Thames and SS Minieh with, I think, Numidian in the shallow water near this spot. I could be wrong. If you need a better answer there's a kind of trainspotters' guide to the wrecks of Scapa Flow.
Orkney is so user-friendly. It's a small place, compact, packed to the gunwales with history; so much that with sea level rise its, Plimsoll line is in peril of disappearing beneath the waves. Getting about is quick and easy; all that and it has a village named Twatt.
If there’s one company in Australia with heaps of dino compactors, that company will be Suez, or SITA as I wish they were still known. Maybe in the past the company had more dino work on a national scale, but the high majority is now subject to their Sydney operations, with most of their bulk bin trucks indeed dino roll-offs. I’m sure the company has a good couple hundred open top containers, compactor containers and integrated units in Sydney, a lot of which appear to be young or freshened up. However, a few years ago I came across one of their older pieces of equipment outside their Wetherill Park transfer station, just sitting on the road unattended while its transporter was somewhere else. I love seeing a compactor just sitting on the road out from a dock, especially at night in the Sydney CBD haha It’s not often you would find a compactor of this capacity being used for garbage, so I think it’s safe to say this is a dry waste container or more likely one for paper and cardboard. You can tell this one is an oldie, with very faded paint and signage, plenty of scratches and a decent amount of rust. You can see the front of the container has been punched inwards... a result of the many times this steel box has been pushed into its resting position by the bail hook and frame. I reckon the “No Parking Day Or Night” signs should feature an additional “Offending Vehicles Will Be Towed” - not hard to do with the truck!

I found that on the net ... in 1999 compact zoom cameras have much higher prices than fixed focus cameras :) in this days vice versa.
Olympus Stylus mju II Epic and Yashica T4 super now have the same or higher prices like in 1999 new ;) Fujifilm DL Super mini looks still have the same price to :)
Minolta Freedom zoom explorer/zoom 70w now you can buy for nothing :) still great wide lens camera.
Canon Sure shot OWL/AF-7 and Z135 - you can find for nothing :)
