Londres, Inglaterra, verão de 2009.
Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress The Tower of London (O Palácio Real e Fortaleza de Sua Majestada A Torre de Londres), mais comunmente chamada como Tower of London (e historicamente apenas como The Tower), é um monumento histórico situado no Centro de Londres, Inglaterra na margem Norte do Tamisa. Fica localizada no Borough de Tower Hamlets e fica separado da margem esquerda da Cidade de Londres por um espaço aberto conhecido como "Tower Hill".
A construção da Torre de Londres em Londres, Inglaterra, foi iniciada em 1078 ao leito do mais importante rio inglês, o Tâmisa, por Guilherme o Conquistador sendo inicialmente uma fortificação nos limites da cidade romana rodeando a Torre Branca, primeiro membro dos 7 hectares que completam a Torre de Londres.
Todo o ambiente é repleto de história e influenciado pela sua própria estrutura fisíca. Como exemplo disso temos os assassinatos dos principes filhos de Eduardo IV na Torre Sangrenta que recebeu tal nome pela história que atormenta suas paredes.
Sua função era residencial até meados do século XVII e, até hoje, possui o papel de abrigar os monarcas que serão coroados. Mas a sua função variou com o passar dos séculos, desde palácio para "Sede da Casa da Moeda" a "Mostra dos Animais do Reino". Também serviu como local de execução e tortura. Este último uso levou à frase "sent to the Tower" (mandado para a Torre), que significava ser aprisionado.
É também na Torre de Londres que as jóias da coroa britânica, ficam guardadas em uma camâra subterrânea.
Menos valiosa mas igualmente curiosa é a colônia de corvos que habita a Torre e é protegida por decreto real.
Segundo a lenda, o império ruirá no dia em que as aves pretas deixarem o lugar.
London, England, Summer 2009.
Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress, more commonly known as the Tower of London (and historically as The Tower), is an historic fortress and scheduled monument in central London, England, on the north bank of the River Thames. It is located within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets and is separated from the eastern edge of the City of London by the open space known as Tower Hill. It is the oldest building used by the British government.
The Tower of London is often identified with the White Tower, the original stark square fortress built by William the Conqueror in 1078. However, the tower as a whole is a complex of several buildings set within two concentric rings of defensive walls and moat.
The tower's primary function was a fortress, a royal palace, and a prison (particularly for high status and royal prisoners, such as the Princes in the Tower and the future Queen Elizabeth I). This last use has led to the phrase "sent to the Tower" (meaning "imprisoned"). It has also served as a place of execution and torture, an armoury, a treasury, a zoo, the Royal Mint, a public records office, an observatory, and since 1303, the home of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom.
Today the Tower of London is cared for by an independent charity, Historic Royal Palaces, which receives no funding from the Government or the Crown.
Many Tudor prisoners entered the Tower of London through the Traitors' Gate. The gate was built by Edward I, to provide a water gate entrance to the Tower, part of St. Thomas's Tower, which was designed to provide additional accommodation for the royal family.
In the pool behind Traitors' Gate was an engine that was used for raising water to a cistern on the roof of the White Tower. The engine worked originally by the force of the tide or by horsepower and eventually by steam. In 1724–6, it was adapted to drive machinery for boring gun barrels. It was removed in the 1860s.
The name Traitors' Gate has been used since the early seventeenth century, prisoners were brought by barge along the Thames, passing under London Bridge, where the heads of recently executed prisoners were displayed on pikes. Anne Boleyn, Sir Thomas More, Queen Catherine Howard,, all entered the Tower by Traitors' Gate.

The Hassan II Mosque is the second largest functioning mosque in Africa and is the 7th largest in the world. Its minaret is the world's second tallest minaret at 210 metres (689 ft). Completed in 1993, it was designed by Michel Pinseau under the guidance of King Hassan II and built by Moroccan artisans from all over the kingdom. The minaret is 60 stories high topped by a laser, the light from which is directed towards Mecca. The mosque stands on a promontory looking out to the Atlantic Ocean, the walls are of hand-crafted marble and the roof is retractable. A maximum of 105,000 worshippers can gather together for prayer: 25,000 inside the mosque hall and another 80,000 on the mosque's outside ground.
made a nice small speaker box for my wife.
she wanted some small speakers she could use to listen to her favourite airplay music around the house/garden.
made a nice "handbag-design" for the speakers and fitted a raspberry-pi with wifi and a usb soundcard for better sound and the amplifier in it.
design was made by me in inkscape.
lasered out of 3mm plywood at the fablab nuernberg.
the raspberry pi runs after this instructable: www.instructables.com/id/raspbAIRy-the-RaspberryPi-based-...

What do you you see (function wise) when you look at this object? Seriously. Give it a minute and think about it.
Even though its intended purpose is a pencil cup, I see a pedestal. Or a table. Or a table base. Or a large lighted fixture.
I was immediately taken with the clean, simple lines and frosted glass look finish. I can use it unaltered as seen in 'Shoetique', insert scrapbook paper or photos (as seen here), put in a battery operated tea light candle or miniature lights for illumination, etc. And the list goes on.
Re-training your brain is not hard. All you have to do is look at things for their shape and size rather than their function, and soon, a whole new world of possibility will begin to open up to you.
Attachment theory describes several behavioural systems, the function of which is to regulate human attachment, fear, exploration, care-giving, peer-affiliation and sex. Attachment is defined as any form of behaviour that results in a person attaining and retaining proximity to a differentiated other. The primary caregiver is the source of the infants stress regulation and, therefore, sense of safety and security. Attachment theory emphasises the role of the parent as mediator, reflector and moderator of the childs mind and the childs reliance on the parent to respond to their affective states in ways that are contingent to their internal experience, a process often referred to as secure base/safe haven functioning. Within the close parent-child relationship neural networks dedicated to feelings of safety and danger, attachment and the core sense of self are sculpted and shaped. These networks are conceptualised as internal working models of attachment.
Characteristic patterns of interaction operating within the familys caregiving-attachment system give rise to secure, insecure and disorganized patterns of attachment. These discrete patterns have been categorized using the Strange Situation research procedure, which observes the young childs behaviour when separated and reunited with his or her primary caregiver. Attachment patterns are represented in the childs internal working models of self-other relationships. Secure attachment is promoted by the interactive regulation of affect, which facilitates the recognition, labelling and evaluation of emotional and intentional states in the self and in others, a capacity known as reflective function or mentalization. The recognition of affects as having dynamic, transactional properties is the key to understanding behaviour in oneself and in another. The child comes to recognize his or her mental states as meaningful self-states via a process of parental affect mirroring and marking. Secure children are able to use sophisticated cognitive strategies to integrate and resolve their fear of separation and loss.
When the parent is unavailable, inconsistent or unpredictable, the infant develops one of two organized insecure patterns of attachment: avoidant or ambivalent-resistant. These defensive strategies involve either the deactivation or hyper-activation of the attachment system. Deactivation is characterized by avoidance of the caregiver and by emotional detachment. In effect, the avoidant child immobilizes the attachment system by excluding thoughts and feelings that normally activate the system. Hyper-activation is manifested by an enmeshed ambivalent preoccupation with the caregiver and with negative emotions, particularly anger. However, in common with the avoidant child, the ambivalent child appears to cognitively disconnect feelings from the situation that elicited the distress. Disorganised-disoriented attachment is discussed below.
Attachment research, then, demonstrates that discrete patterns of secure, insecure, and disorganized attachment have as their precursor a specific pattern of caregiver-infant interaction and their own behavioural sequelae. Repeated patterns of interpersonal experience are encoded in implicit-procedural memory and conceptualized as self-other working models of attachment. These mental models consist of generalized beliefs and expectations about relationships between the self and key attachment figures, not the least of which concerns ones worthiness to receive love and care from others.
In sum, the care-giving environment generally, and the infant-caregiver attachment relationship particularly, initiate the child along one of an array of potential developmental pathways. Disturbance of attachment is the outcome of a series of deviations that take the child increasingly further from adaptive functioning. Child abuse and cumulative developmental trauma violate the childs sense of trust, identity and agency and have pernicious and seminal influences on the developing personality. In essence, internal working models of early attachment relationships provide the templates for psychopathology in later life, which may include violent, destructive and self-destructive forms of behaviour. In attachment theory, the main purpose of defence is the regulation of emotions. The primary mechanisms for achieving this are distance regulation and the defensive exclusion of thoughts and feelings associated with attachment trauma.
Early trauma in the form of abuse, loss, neglect and severe parent-child misattunement compromises brain-mediated functions such as attachment, empathy and affect regulation. From an attachment theory perspective, patterns of attachment are encoded and stored as generalized relational patterns in the systems of implicit memory. These are conceptualized as cognitive-affective internal working models which are seen as mediating how we think and feel about ourselves, others and the relationships we develop. Although open to change and modification in the light of new attachment experiences, whether positive or negative, these non-conscious procedural models, scripts or schemas within which early stress and trauma are retained, tend to persevere and guide, appraise and predict attachment-related thoughts, feelings and behaviours throughout the life cycle via the implicit memory system. Psychopathology is seen as deriving from an accumulation of maladaptive interactional patterns that result in character traits and personality types and disorders.
Disorganised attachment may occur when the childs parent is both the source of fear and the only protective figure to whom to turn to resolve stress and anxiety. In such instances, neither proximity seeking nor proximity avoiding is a solution to the activation of the childs attachment and fear behavioural systems. If the trauma remains unresolved and is carried into adulthood, it leaves the individual vulnerable to affect dysregulation in interpersonal conflict situations that induce fear, hate, shame and rage. In such cases, alcohol and illicit drugs are often resorted to as a maladaptive means of suppressing dreaded psychobiological states and restoring a semblance of affective equilibrium.
Findings show that disorganised attachment developed in infancy shifts to controlling behaviour in the older child and adult, reflecting an internalized mental model of the self as unlovable, unworthy of care and support, and fearful of rejection, betrayal and abandonment. Disorganised attachment is associated with a predisposition to relational violence, to dissociative states and conduct disorders in children and adolescents, and to personality disorders in adults. This state of mind constitutes a primary risk factor for the development of borderline, anti-social and sociopathic personality disorders. The rate of such disorders in forensic settings is particularly high. Clinically, dissociated traumatic experience is unsymbolized by thought and language, being encapsulated within the personality as a separate, non-reflective reality which is cut off from authentic human relatedness. The information contained in implicit memory may be retrieved by state-dependent moods and situations. Dissociated archaic internal working models are then activated, influencing and distorting expectations of current events and relationships outside of conscious awareness, particularly in situations involving intense interpersonal stress. In such situations, the self is felt to be endangered, thereby increasing the risk of an angry and potentially violent reaction.

Designing a driven steering setup based on the system found in most Subaru models. The struts are set up to mount into the frame and pivot with the steering knuckle. Wheels are mounted to the hub, which has a three stud pattern and accommodates for the short length of the CV axle shaft. The tie rods for steering will need to be designed with real parts, since LDD isn't particularly flexible with multiple joint systems. It may be possible to create a system/technic steering rack, but I would prefer to figure it out with real parts.

This is a quick demonstration of my Function Generator project at hte end of my First year of Electronic Engineering at Uni. It doesn't work at the moment, but that's purely because I'm yet to get the SPI communication working. :(
It uses an AD9834 to create sine, square and triangle waveforms through DDS. It has a theoretical bandwidth of 25MHz, but anything above 1MHz needs filters to remove the noise.
Inside the case is an Arduino Which handles the controls and the SPI communications.

I guess Vossloh didn't have a styling department when they made this diesel. I saw it further west, and not having a pic of one, gave chase utilizing the A15's 130kmh (80mph) sections to find a different spot. A shame to this observer that this anonymous loco seen up close seems purely 'function over form' in design and carrying a livery neither attractive nor well thought out. "I think we should go with white around the exhaust stack" followed later by "Urrrk. That's ugly. Lets not put our name on the side..." Googling 'Vossloh locomotive' reveals they are available in a variety of unpleasant paint schemes, with the exception of the new DRS Class 68s in the UK which are really striking in both design and adornment. At least this one doesn't have the weird asymmetrical cab and is clean - other that aforementioned stack. Feb 4 2015, the Betuweroute freight line, The Netherlands
The Saracen Tower is in the Bucalo quarter, on the left side of the Madonna del Carmelo Sanctuary. It was built according to some experts around the year 1000 in order to defend the territory against the incursions of the Saracens; it is a three-storey (plus one underground) cylindrical tower, with a near two-storey building dating back to the same period.Some recent studies by the architect Salvatore Coglitore have showed that the tower and the building must have originally had another underground storey, which has become unreachable due to the debris and mud brought there by the torrent Savoca during the floods in 1934 and 1958. This shows that the tower must have been very impressive during the Middle Ages, when it reached a 15-metre height.The two buildings belonged to the Archbishop Leonzio Crisafi in the XV Century and then passed on to the Bucalo Family, who in 1507 had a small church built near the tower, which was destroyed in 1929 to let the Madonna del Carmelo Sanctuary be built instead.It is not called Saracen Tower because the Saracens built it, but because it was used to guard the coast from all pirates, and all pirates, at the time, were called Saracens: it didn’t have in fact military functions (at least after the XVI century), but it was needed for the protection of the inhabitants from dangers, above all brigands.
La torre dei Saraceni sorge accanto alla chiesa della Madonna del Carmelo nel quartiere di Bucalo, lungo la SS114. È padronale. Alcuni studiosi la fanno risale all'anno 1000, ma la struttura che è arrivata ai giorni nostri, pur subendo modifiche, è di origine normanna, risalente al XIV secolo. Il suo nome sta ad indicare che fu costruita a guardia dei saraceni. Tutti i pirati di quel tempo venivano chiamati saraceni. La torre in origine era a forma cilindrica e più alta di come la vediamo attualmente. L'attuale si sviluppa su tre piani, ciascuno dei quali è formato da una unica stanza circolare. All'inizio del 1700 i padri gesuiti fecero costruire accanto a questa una chiesetta per il culto della Madonna del Carmelo, che fu poi abbattuta e ricostruita come la vediamo oggi, nel corso degli anni '30 del 1900. Nel 1580 la Torre dei Saraceni fu incorporata ad una costruzione: il palazzetto della famiglia Bucalo, che inizialmente si sviluppava su un solo piano. Verso il 1895 il proprietario di quel tempo, signor Pelleri, apportò modifiche alla torre troncandole la cupola, riducendola all'altezza attuale, ristrutturando le sue aperture e adornando con merli tutto il complesso dell'edificio.
Dietro al palazzo Bucalo c'è una galleria, ormai in parte distrutta e per il resto insicura che metteva in comunicazione la Torre dei Saraceni con la Torre dei Bagghi.
Rue des Colonnes 20/03/2024 20h53
No need to ask why this street has this name.
Rue des Colonnes
Rue des Colonnes is a 90 meters long street in the 2ème arrondissement of Paris in the quartier Vivienne.
It is one of the rare examples of construction from the revolutionary period due to its neo-Greek appearance, its sidewalks and its columns. The developers wanted to give it an urban function allowing the connection between the rue des Filles-Saint-Thomas and the Feydeau theater, built in 1791 by Jacques-Guillaume Legrand and Jacques Molinos. The Rue des Colonnes undoubtedly inspired the creators of the Rue de Rivoli.
