Bronze, electrical and hydraulic components.
Installation at Tate Modern as part of its first solo show of an Arte Povera ('Poor Art') artist.
Arte Povera was a radical modern art movement born out of the upheavel of the late 1960s.
Cedric the Dragon was the mascot for NCH (National Children’s Homes), a UK children’s charity. Cedric and the many costumes that represented him became obsolete NCH uniforms when the charity rebranded as Action for Children around 2007. As a result, Cedric was retired as the charity’s mascot and replaced by a new costumed character based on the organisation’s current star logo.
These archive photographs show two different Cedric costumes and were taken during the scrapping and disposal process. The images document the costumes shortly before they were dismantled for incineration by a secure waste disposal contractor, at the request of their owner.
The costumes are fully synthetic "plastic" dragon mascot suits designed for fundraising and promotional use. Each costume comprised of multiple components and could be broken down into separate parts for ease of maintenance and repair.
The Cedric the Dragon costumes were constructed entirely from synthetic materials by Costumes With Character, formerly known as Situation Clothing, based in Manchester, England. Over the years, several batches of these costumes were produced to support NCH’s fundraising efforts and were distributed across the UK.
During his time as the charity’s mascot, Cedric was a very popular character, appearing in schools, Sure Start centres, community support groups, public events, and corporate-sponsored activities throughout the country. The costumes were worn as official NCH uniforms, primarily by volunteers and staff members, who would bravely don the uncomfortably warm sweaty synthetic-fur dragon suits to portray Cedric during fundraising and promotional engagements.

On Infantry Day, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy met with infantrymen, relatives of fallen Heroes and unit commanders, and presented state awards, battle flags and honorary awards.
The Head of State emphasized that infantrymen are the backbone of our army, the most numerous and determinative component of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, the foundation of the Armed Forces.
“Our Ukrainian control is precisely where our infantry positions and the strength of our infantry troops – infantry, motorized infantry, mechanized, assault, mountain assault, and jaeger military units – are,” Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
On behalf of all Ukrainians, the President thanked the infantry warriors for their strength, courage and resilience. He emphasized: we are all proud of the Ukrainian infantry.
"I thank all our warriors for the fact that Ukraine has managed to withstand this war and retains the ability to achieve its goals. And every Ukrainian – all our people – must always remember what our warriors are going through, how much pain and loss they are facing," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The memory of the fallen defenders was honored with a moment of silence.
The Head of State handed the Order of the Golden Star to the families of the fallen Heroes of Ukraine. The following warriors were awarded the highest state award:
Junior Sergeant Anton Kovalenko. In June 2023, the unit under his leadership cleared a platoon stronghold and took up a perimeter defense. Thanks to a radio station he found on the spot, he intercepted information about the plans and movements of the Russian occupiers and transmitted their coordinates. Anton Kovalenko was killed at a firing position. More than 30 dead Russian soldiers were found in front of it.
Soldier Danylo Podybailo. He was a senior pilot of a UAV crew. His crew detected five self-propelled howitzers, two MT-12 Rapira anti-tank guns, a tripod-mounted automatic grenade launcher and two mortars. After adjusting the artillery fire, everything was destroyed. Danylo Podybailo was killed on June 1 last year as a shell directly hit his dugout.
Three warriors were awarded the Presidential Cross of Military Merit:
Captain Roman Yeskov. During the battle, he pulled out a wounded brother-in-arms, provided assistance and organized evacuation. In October last year, the personnel under his leadership repelled enemy attacks, retained our positions, killed about 13 Russian soldiers and wounded 10 more.
Major Valeriy Lobov. In June last year, he personally led the company's personnel in an assault. He was wounded, but despite this, he organized the evacuation of one part of the unit and led the other to the enemy positions. After that, he lost consciousness. Valeriy Lobov was evacuated from the battlefield in serious condition. Two months later, he continued to perform combat missions near Robotyne, Zaporizhzhia region.
Junior Sergeant Pavlo Svyrydiuk. He repeatedly covered the withdrawal of his brothers-in-arms from positions that were densely attacked by the Russian occupiers. This allowed them to regroup, take up defense in more favorable positions and stop the enemy. Using a drone, he detected enemy subversive reconnaissance groups and destroyed them with grenades.
The President also presented one serviceman with the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky of the second class, and three with the Order of Bohdan Khmelnytsky of the second class.
Three warriors received the Order "For Courage" of the second class, and five received the Order "For Courage" of the third class.
The Head of State presented battle flags to the 22nd, 31st, 32nd and 65th separate mechanized brigades.
The 47th and 66th separate mechanized brigades were awarded the honorary award "For Courage and Bravery."

The 5 Main Areas of DIY Drone Parts
Once you’ve decided on the type of DIY drone you want to build (e.g. quadcopter, hexacopter, etc.), you’ll have to learn about the 5 areas of DIY drone construction, which are:
Mechanics, Propulsion, Flight Controllers, Sensors, Video
Diy Quadcopter Kit: Mechanics
First, you'll want to familiarize yourself with the types of drones that you can build. Carbon fiber frames, this material may be a more cost-effective option for your first drone especially in the event that you don’t quite master construction the first time around and/or accidentally crash it.
DIY Quadcopter Kit: Propulsion
Propulsion is what drives your drone or UAV. One of the most important features to consider for this area, are the propeller blades. Drone builders have the option of selecting fixed or folding blades; folding blades can make storage easier, especially if you’re short on space.
Another important component is the ESC or “Electronic Speed Controller.” This device controls the speed at which your UAV motor rotates and connects the battery, motor, and flight controller.
Next, you'll want to consider a power source. A Lithium Polymer battery is the most common battery used for DIY drones, but there are a lot of other options. You'll also need a Power Distribution board or cable to split the power to the devices connected to your UAV.
DIY Drone: Flight Controllers
There are many components that can be integrated into DIY drone controls. The most important are: a base station, a transmitter, and a flight controller. A control station can be used instead of or with a handheld transmitter. A transmitter is a device that sends some signal or multiple signals to your receiver. Generally, a base station will include a transmitter, antennae, a video receiver, a monitor, battery, and other devices.
The flight controller is the “main brain” of your UAV. Like a computer, it processes all the incoming/outgoing data and signals. Depending on how sophisticated your flight controller is, it may have GPS, a barometer, compass, and more.
DIY Drone: Sensors
Depending on your budget and your experience constructing DIY drones, there are a wide variety of sensors you can incorporate into your custom aircraft such as a(an):
Accelerometer: a device that lets you know about your DIY drone's orientation with respect to the ground.
Barometer: a device that measures pressure and provides important information about the altitude you're flying in.
Compass: a device that provides you with North, South, East, West information.
GPS: a positioning system that uses satellites to pick up your drone's location.
Altimeter: a device that gives you information about your drone's altitude. Since federal regulations prohibit drones flying above 400′, an altimeter may be a useful tool to help you avoid legal penalties.
DIY Drones: Video
If you’re not interested in aerial photography or cinematography, you don’t have to add a video component to your DIY drone. Some people are more interested in flying; for these people, not including video will help reduce the cost of building their first DIY drones.
However, for the people who want to take photos and capture aerial scenes, they have several video options available.
FPV or “First Person View” is a video option where a camera is mounted to a drone and a pilot can see a live video feed displayed on a monitor, smartphone, or virtual reality glasses.
Another option is incorporating a gimbal camera, which many people use to take stills and video of themselves in motion.
Depending on your experience and skill set, you may be able to experiment and successfully implement different photography and video devices. Using a little craft and ingenuity, you can integrate a wide variety of digital video cameras, LCDs, or OCDs to your do-it-yourself drone.
The BCGEU leadership visited worksites across the Okanagan on July 21, including in Kelowna, Penticton, Armstrong, and Vernon.
The union’s elected leaders will be visiting UBC Okanagan, the PRT Armstrong nursery, the courthouses in Kelowna and Penticton, several liquor stores, CLBC, as well as Service BC and MCFD offices, among others.
BCGEU president Stephanie Smith will be stopping at several worksites in the BCGEU RV.
Os componentes da Mesa Diretora da Câmara Nacional de Gestores de Precatórios estiveram reunidos na tarde desta quinta-feira (19/01) em Porto Alegre. O grupo, composto por oito Magistrados de todas as regiões brasileiras, foi recebido pelo Presidente do Tribunal de Justiça do RS, Desembargador Luiz Felipe Silveira Difini, no Palácio da Justiça. Acompanhado pela Coordenadora da Central de Conciliação e Pagamento de Precatórios do TJRS, Juíza de Direito Kétlin Pasa Casagrande, o Desembargador Difini afirmou que o "o tema preocupa muito o Judiciário em todo o Brasil, eis que são milhares de requisições de pagamento expedidas pela Justiça para cobrar de municípios, Estados ou da União, assim como de autarquias e fundações, referente a valores devidos após condenação judicial definitiva".

About Taj Mahal
The Taj Mahal is a white Marble mausoleum located in Agra, India. It was built by Mughal emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his third wife, Mumtaz Mahal. The Taj Mahal is widely recognized as "the jewel of Muslim art in India and one of the universally admired masterpieces of the world's heritage."
Taj Mahal is the finest example of Mughal architecture, a style that combines elements from Persian, Turkish and Indian architectural styles.
In 1983, the Taj Mahal became a UNESCO World Heritage Site. While the white domed marble mausoleum is the most familiar component of the Taj Mahal, it is actually an integrated complex of structures. The construction began around 1632 and was completed around 1653, employing thousands of artisans and craftsmen. The construction of the Taj Mahal was entrusted to a board of architects under imperial supervision, including Abd ul-Karim Ma'mur Khan, Makramat Khan, and Ustad Ahmad Lahauri. Lahauri is generally considered to be the principal designer.
