This is the most dramatic and elegant doorbell-ringing device I have ever seen. The pull handle is at the bottom of the photo, just left of center. Above that, the handle is connected to an elegant spiral of gold-painted wrought iron flowers and leaves, wrapped around a metal rod. Then the bare rod connects at its top to a grandly decorated hinge mechanism.

 

From the hinge, a metal actuator extends through the villa wall and jangles the bell inside the entry hall. Kid must love ringing it...and probably lots of grownups too. I could barely resist.

Whatever it is, satellite, re-entry vehicle, warhead…appears to be in transmit mode…toward the earth’s horizon, or maybe just earth in general, and at what I’m assuming to be the sun, and not a nuclear test/detonation in earth orbit.

The penciled description on the verso, either “Aiming/Airwing(?) Devices 3-9” (or something else) is of no assistance, other than this possibly being figure 3-9 in a publication/document. And I know I’m reaching. “Space Missiles” of course means nothing, as it was probably a ‘go-to’ for most anything depicting something pointy in space during this time.

 

What really matters is that it’s by John Gorsuch.

Thought For Food: Leveraging 3 Of The Few Cooking Devices I Use - IMRAN®

Microwave Oven. Air Fryer. Slow Cooker. Rice Cooker. Toaster Oven. Barbecue Grill. I use one or two of these on the rare occasion I “cook” something. This time I put three to use in parallel.

Philips Air Fryer, Chicken Parmesan. Toshiba Rice Cooker, pasta. Panasonic Microwave heated pasta sauce. Around 15-20 minutes total with maybe 3-5 minutes total prep time. Anything reaching 10 minutes of prep or cleanup time is not for me!

Trigger was a Prolinca IR device on the hotshoe.

The sexy 4 buckled sandals have her feet and ankles strapped beautifully, imprisoning them with white patent leather. The heavy leather cuffs with their straps pulled tightly are secured in place. She tries to flex her feet but they won't move, she can only wiggle a few of her toes, the sandals are too snug. She then tries to move her ankles but strains against the double buckled cuff which encircles her lower leg. She looks at the devices placed upon her and gives up, the wide 4 strapped calf cuffs are overwelmingly restrictive. The only movement she can muster is a slight toe out as her calves are bolted together. Little does she know that in the next few days the front of the sandals will be connected by a metal bar and extensions will be made to brace her legs together entirely. I can make a bondage device for you that you have only dreamed of. PLEASE LEAVE A COMMENT as I am curious to the attraction to braces and this type of bondage. These are for sale. As usual, I can make these for you as well as any other type of leather and/or metal bondage device you can think of. I can also make you "conventional" orthopedic leg and body braces as well as "bondage" style braces, contact me at my1970junk@msn.com.

While I was shooting photographs at the racetrack yesterday, one car stood out from the pack. It was a pink Bandolero with peace signs, hearts and "Love" stickered all over it. "Girls Rule" was painted across the rear spoiler. The driver had no fear. Bandolero cars reach speeds of 90MPH and as the tire marks on the side of the pink 03 car testify, they can get quite close together.

 

I spotted Erin in the pits. At the time, she was raising dust cutting donuts on her 4 wheeler. Her father and grandfather were dialing in the two Late Model cars they were racing that day. I asked them if I could speak to Erin. They were enthusiastic about it, even inviting me to take in some of the air conditioning inside the huge trailer/shop they traveled with from Houston Texas. Erin's grandfather called for her, and the dust settled as she shut down her four wheeler.

 

Erin had been knocked around quite a bit in her last race. She had been spun out twice, each time while attempting to pass the leader. Bandolero cars are kept very much the same. They use sealed engines and have little room in the regulations for tweaking the vehicles for more speed. They use an entire complement of racing safety gear from the helmet and firesuit to the HANS device. The idea is to keep the machines equal so young drivers develop skills.

 

I asked Erin about her last race. She told me the back turn was kind of choppy. I had noticed her shooting sparks from underneath her car as she hit the high spots of the slightly uneven pavement. Banoleros travel less than an inch off the pavement. Drivers are allowed to adjust their tire pressure to compensate for this, but there is an optimum tire pressure that varies from track to track, between different areas of the same track, and even with the ambient temperature.

 

I asked Erin about being the only girl on the track, if she thought it made her a target. She agreed that no boy wants to be passed by the girl in the pink peace car. Not surprisingly, Erin told me her hero is Danica Patrick. We talked some more, and while she never verbalized it, one could detect that Erin was bothered by being spun out twice and not winning her last race. During the day's qualifying runs, she had secured pole position and wasn't using it effectively. She ended our conversation by telling me to be sure and watch the featured race later in the evening, and then she was off to a compulsory driver's meeting.

 

Erin had lost her coveted pole position in the featured Bandolero race. As the cars entered the first turn after the green flag, Erin attempted to pass the leader from inside. He tried to knock her into the grass. As a result he was flung headfirst into the concrete barrier at 70-80 MPH. Erin was stopped with the remaining racers on the back turn as paramedics made certain the driver was uninjured. His car was hauled off the track by the wrecker, while the driver rode off in a golf cart waving to the cheers of the crowd. While the wreckage was being cleared Erin's father ran out on the track to check on Erin, his own firesuit tied around his waist. After making certain his daughter was OK, Erin's father pulled her rear bumper out and quickly resecured the bodywork on the back of her car as best he could. As he exited the track, he passed me and I asked him about Erin. "She's shaken, but she's OK," he smiled.

 

Once the track was cleared, the pace car got the drivers started again. I watched with trepidation as Erin's rear bodywork seemed to become more insecure with every lap. Finally, on her last lap Erin's rear bumper became unfastened, spraying sparks behind her as it contacted the concrete at speed. Erin finished the race, placing third with a message. Girls Rule.

Happy Valentina's Day! 🚀 👩‍🚀 💫

 

Today is the 57th anniversary of the first woman in space — Russia's Valentina Tereshkova on Vostok 6, a scary bullet of a capsule that could not make a soft landing, necessitating a skydive leap during reentry (just as Yuri Gagarin had to do).

 

She was 26 at the time and an amateur skydiver. She is the youngest female astronaut and the only woman to fly solo. To date, only 12% of astronauts have been women, despite being arguably better suited for the job. That should change.

 

After the flight of Yuri Gagarin in 1961, Nikolai Kamanin, director of cosmonaut training, read in American media that female pilots were training to be astronauts. In his diary, he wrote, "We cannot allow that the first woman in space will be American. This would be an insult to the patriotic feelings of Soviet women." Approval was granted for five female cosmonauts in the next group, which would begin training in 1963. To increase the odds of sending a Soviet woman into space first, the female cosmonauts began their training before the males.

 

With a single flight, she logged more flight time than the combined times of all American astronauts who had flown before that date.

 

Her call sign in this flight was Chaika (Russian: Ча́йка, or 'Seagull'), later commemorated as the name of an asteroid, 1671 Chaika. After her launch, she radioed down:

 

"It is I, Seagull! Everything is fine. I see the horizon; it's a sky blue with a dark strip. How beautiful the Earth is"

Wikipedia

 

As planned in all Vostok missions, Tereshkova ejected from the capsule during its descent at about four miles above Kazakhstan and made a parachute landing, quite a thrill ride for this skydiver!

 

She had dinner with some local villagers in the Altai Krai who helped her to get out of her spacesuit.

 

Her flight became Cold War propaganda to demonstrate the superiority of communism. At the 1963 World Congress of Women, Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev used Tereshkova's voyage to declare the USSR had achieved equality for women.

 

I bought this in France from Tereshkova’s instructor at the Zhukovsky Air Force Engineering Academy. His translated description: "This is an angle measuring device of the Russian aerospace for astronomic navigation, especially for calculation of flight angles. It was personally used by the Soviet cosmonaut Valentina Tereshkova. It is the model CMK 3 numbered 2416305 (badge on the device). The device still possesses the original leather strap. It consists of a turning wheel that is marked with degree values. Once the zero point on the scale is adjusted to a certain height, the orbs’ and targets’ location can be measured. In 1963, Tereshkova was the first woman to fly into space and remained the only woman in space until Svetlana Savitskaya’s flight in 1982. The device is in good condition with traces of use. The dimensions are 12 x 19.5 x 6 cm (height x width x depth)."

Devices

 

This is a close-up of one of those strange and weird devices you see in medical waiting and examination rooms everywhere. This one caught my eye by virtue of its little gauge, which seems to indicate some kind of pressure in mercury, split into low/medium/high ranges, and it says "Full Vac" (vacuum?) on the bottom.

 

But what does it do? I have no idea ... but I thought it would be a fun thing on which to speculate. Oxygen to the right if you need that, though.

If you can't get enough, or maybe because it is your preferred platform (particularly on mobile devices), I now post to a dedicated page on Facebook: Sinobug - Chinese Insects and Spiders

 

www.facebook.com/sinobug/

 

Currently, I am posting multiple times daily on Facebook. Images are all drawn from my Flickr photostream, but rather than being chronological in terms of date taken or date uploaded, are selected at my discretion from my ten-years-worth and more than 16500 images of insects and spiders from China, mostly from Yunnan in the south. I guess that means the page resurfaces a lot of the "best-ofs" in my collection, which will pop up in your news feed if you follow the page.

 

You will still find me on tumblr:

SINOBUG

 

Sino- /ˈsʌɪnəʊ /

a combining form meaning “Chinese”, as in Sino-Tibetan; Sinology.

Origin - from French; from Late Latin Sīnae - the Chinese; from Late Greek Sinai; from Arabic Sīn.

 

bug /bʌg/

1. (loosely) any insect or insect-like invertebrate.

2. a person who has a great enthusiasm for something; fan or hobbyist.

Origin - ”insect,” 1620s (earliest reference is to bedbugs), probably from M.E. bugge; “person obsessed by an idea” (e.g. firebug) is from 1841.

 

Sinobug /ˈsʌɪnəʊ bʌg/

an expat Australian in China with a passion for entomological photography.

This is a completely passive fiber optic device. The light seen eminating from the fiber optics at the end of the device is being passively gathered; there is no amplification. This device is used to transport the light generated by the scintillator in the NOvA far detector modules to the associated photo electric device.

Can you feel yourself getting obsessed by popular cultural devices? Do you keep putting silk scarves around your neck? Does your table cloth look this impeccable? If you look up a recipe for doughnuts, you will find that they advise you to fry them in "impeccable" oil for the best flavor. I don't agree. Use old bacon grease. No kidding. But don't eat doughnuts before bed, lest you have a bunch of nightmares. Last night, I dreamt that my best friend and my lover betrayed me when we were having a threesome. I was supposed to be the link, you know, the common factor. But I could feel them loving each other more than me. I wasn't getting kissed anymore. Eventually, I got up and ran off the golf course. I got in my car and waited. They followed, naturally, but it wasn't the same. Wait, that really did happen. And I've been awake for hours, but I still feel sort of mad at both of them. I feel really hurt and undesireable and also a little bit fat or rubbish in bed. These two women pollenating each other's synthetic vaginal arrangements are a tribute to the feeling. And boy, is it a scorcher. Ouch as fuck forever.

"It's never initially about developing space," Skylar Tibbits says. "You're developing relationships or organizations or scientific rules, and out of that comes space."

In 1935 the RHS and the Westminster Bank apparently issued a form suggesting a standing order for membership fees - it included this device designed by Eric Ravilious.

A device I had not seen before attached to on track plant. The device on the end of the arm was a diesel powered ballast vacuum, similar to a Railvac, but with considerably less retention volume. This was being used to extract ballast from a stretch of plain line which had suffered from track pumping, where water seeps under the sleepers, making the ballast layer unstable, resulting in rail movement and in extreme cases fatigue failure.

The interesting part was that the bicycle was not mine. It was someone else's. I took it and placed it wherever I liked and he had his eyes on me.

 

However, I and my friend Mezba use to roam around our town whenever we get any chance. In the afternoon, we went to housing project and made this photographic work.

A signal is a mechanical or electrical device erected beside a railway line to pass information relating to the state of the line ahead to train/engine drivers. The driver interprets the signal's indication and acts accordingly. Typically, a signal might inform the driver of the speed at which the train may safely proceed or it may instruct the driver to stop.

 

One of the earliest forms of fixed railway signal is the semaphore ike these ones. These signals display their different indications to train drivers by changing the angle of inclination of a pivoted 'arm'. Semaphore signals were patented in the early 1840s by Joseph James Stevens, and soon became the most widely used form of mechanical signal. Designs have altered over the intervening years, and colour light signals have replaced semaphore signals in some countries, but in others they remain in use.

 

Engine sheds could be found in many towns and cities as well as in rural locations. They were built by the railway companies to provide accommodation for their locomotives that provided their local train services. Each engine shed would have an allocation of locomotives that would reflect the duties carried out by that depot. Most depots had a mixture of passenger, freight and shunting locomotives but some such as Mexborough had predominantly freight locomotives reflecting the industrial nature of that area in South Yorkshire. Others, such as Kings Cross engine shed in London, predominantly provided locomotives for passenger workings.

 

This view is on the Romney, Hythe & Dymchurch Railway (RH&DR) which is a 15 in (381 mm) gauge light railway in Kent, England, operating steam and internal combustion locomotives. The 13 3⁄4-mile (22.1 km) line runs from the Cinque Port of Hythe via Dymchurch, St. Mary's Bay, New Romney and Romney Sands to Dungeness, close to Dungeness nuclear power station and Dungeness Lighthouse.

 

This is at New Romney railway station which has always been the headquarters location of the railway.

 

There is a signal box for local train control, and also the main Control Centre for train operation across the whole railway. The latter is staffed by a Control Officer, who is in constant radio contact with all signal boxes, locomotives, and (where appropriate) station staff, travelling guards, and engineering teams.

 

This original engine shed is still in use, but was designed to accommodate only nine locomotives. In recent years it has been considerably extended, more than doubling the original size. This shed is now capable of housing all the railway's locomotives, as well as an engineering centre capable of work from minor running repairs to full locomotive overhauls, together with the necessary mess facilities for engineering staff. Also on the New Romney site are a separate locomotive erecting shop, and a paint shop where locomotives and other rolling stock can be re-liveried. Although there is a secondary engine shed at Hythe station, all locomotives are now based at New Romney locomotive shed.

24/7 live in maid sissy barbie locked into a rustling teal taffeta uniform with black satin and lace trim topped off with a matching taffeta maid's cap. She also wears satin gloves, sweet roses seamed stockings and painfully narrow shoes. Hidden underneath is a black bra and suspender belt and green knickers with three rows of black lace across the front and rear. Mistress Lady Penelope keeps her securely locked in a stainless steel slave collar and a Holy Trainer chastity device.

 

Close up of the padlock through the zip's pull tab and through the two metal rings of the collar. This prevents sissy barbie removing her uniform without permission of Mistress Lady Penelope. Mistress has found this form of discipline highly effective. Only when a long hard day's work has been completed to Mistress' satisfaction might the padlock key and the key to the servant's quarters be given to the maid. Naturally the key to the maid's chastity device is retained by her Mistress. Once sissy barbie has returned to the servant's quarters she can unlock the padlock and remove her uniform. As her petticoat has an attached bodice and shoulder straps, she cannot remove that until the uniform has been removed. After that she may don her nightie and begin her night's sleep, though being a 24/7 live in maid, she is always on call and she may well have to serve her Mistress wearing her nightie.

 

Sometimes when it is likely she will be called, she is not given the key to the padlock and has to sleep in uniform ready to 'scramble' within seconds of being called to serve. This does tend to flatten her petticoat unfortunately and that has to rectified the following day.

 

If the maid has been negligent in her duties in any way or does not pass Mistress Lady Penelope's inspection of her work and attire, she will not be given any keys but instead be locked in the sturdy steel cage in Mistress' dungeon as punishment. The cage has a hard floor and is too small for any more than a cat nap. All night the errant maid will be shifting from one uncomfortable position to another in the cold dark dungeon, not knowing the time. She will remain silent to avoid further punishment for waking her Mistress in her nice soft warm bed.

 

The maid will worry all night that she has angered her Mistress so much that Mistress Lady Penelope might decide to leave her locked up for two nights and the intervening day too. Sissy barbie knows that would be very severe punishment and will do everything humanly possible during her working day to avoid making her Mistress decide to do that. She also worries that perhaps Mistress Lady Penelope might be so busy that Mistress simply forgets to release her. The maid knows she is an insignificant convenience in Mistress Lady Penelope's life, Mistress might very well notice when she does not get her breakfast in bed but then forget that her maid is not cleaning the house, doing the laundry and all the other things she does unseen, Mistress Lady Penelope might get so excited by her social life that she forgets that her maid is locked in a little cage in the dungeon, dutifully remaining silent, not knowing whether it is day or night but acutely feeling the passage of every minute and regretting what she did to be receiving such severe punishment.

 

Sissy barbie will be waiting to hear her Mistress' footsteps and when she hears them, praying Mistress will come towards the dungeon door, unlock it and turn on the light. The maid will probably cower and quiver in case she is to be punished further, all the time hoping she is to be released, though she knows when that happens she will be required to begin a new days work, after a visit to the bathroom, fluffing out her petticoat and correcting whatever she did wrong the day before. The loss of one night's sleep is bad, but two nights in a row is torture, so the errant maid will be very careful not to risk another and will perform her duties to the letter despite being very weary. She will be extremely grateful to her Mistress for her release. The maid will have lost all track of time and if Mistress Lady Penelope is feeling magnanimous, might tell her maid how long she has been caged.
