Mechanical and functional requirements worked out between TBS and Citizen シチズン Watch Company, Tokyo.
Developer: TBS Tokyo Broadcasting System, Akasaka, Tokyo
Date: Installed December, 1992.
Hundertwasser comment about the work:
This monument is a token, a landmark serving as an ambassador for a peace treaty between men and nature. (...) A consciousness of eternal cycles in harmony with nature and human creation becomes vital, just as timeless constant values, the knowledge of the cosmos where no up and no down exists, no right and no left. It is not the time, which is important but the cycle which develops in organical, beautiful form. Time should create new life, slowly, in spiral form, vegetativ and creative. Time should not destroy past time, should not create last panic before the time of tomorrow. The idea of counting time is a human misleading idea, an invention like the straight line, but there is only eternity developing in an organical cycle. (...) The same water is permanently flowing through the purification plant. The way of the water through the roots of the plants takes about 1 hour. The roots of these waterplants are producing oxygen and are turning what we call dirt into plant substance. We become witness of a permanent purification and renewal process in harmony with the laws of nature. (excerpt from Hundertwasser's text of August 1992) (from: Hundertwasser 1928-2000, Catalogue Raisonné, Vol. 2, Taschen, Cologne, 2002, p. 1261)
Information:
Hundertwasser designed the ecological monument for the Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) in commemoration of the company's fiftieth anniversary in 2001. The digital display of a Citizen Clock, which could be read from both sides, counted down the days to the anniversary. The monument was erected on the TBS grounds in Midoriyama/Yokohama in December 1992 and moved to Akasaka in 1994. The accompanying program upon arrival of this event with the theme "Our Beloved Planet, Earth" was focusing on the everchanging Japan, the global environment and mankind. (Source: hundertwasser.com).

Seeing that I forgot to post this here, I am now updating Rescue 1 to its current iteration. Rescue 1 has received their latest rig, a 2021 Seagrave Marauder II/SVI heavy rescue! This rig replaces the 2017 Spartan Gladiator. Like the previous generation of rescues, this apparatus has a partial walk-in compartment that stores the wet/dry suits, ALS equipment, and forcible entry tools. Also, a custom slide out increases interior space for command purposes. Unlike the prior rigs, the side door to the walk-in compartment was eliminated as the crew primarily enters through the cab. This allowed design engineers to add storage solutions for high frequency tools. Another new change for the rig was to move the air compressor to the top of the rig to free up space in the compartments.
Rescue 1 is staffed by 6 men and responds to calls in the northern half of the city, while Rescue 2 handles the southern half. Rescue 1 also cross-staffs Rescue Platform 1. The compartments hold a wide variety of tools for various rescue applications including confined space rescue, high angle rescue, trench rescue, vehicle extrication, underwater/swift water rescue, and hazmat.

It has become winter with snow and minus degrees.
Therefore functionality over beauty.
Enjoy a nice evening.

Scientific Name: Ambystoma mexicanum
The axolotl is a type of salamander. It is unusual among amphibians in that it reaches adulthood without undergoing metamorphosis. It never outgrows the larval, juvenile stage, a phenomenon called neoteny.
Instead of taking to the land, adults remain aquatic and gilled. The species was originally found in several lakes underlying what is now Mexico City, such as Lake Xochimilco and Lake Chalco. These lakes were drained by Spanish settlers after the conquest of the Aztec Empire, leading to the destruction of much of the axolotl’s natural habitat.
As legend has it, the axolotl is the Aztec god of fire and lightning, Xolotl, which disguised himself as a salamander to avoid being sacrificed. But these Mexican amphibians are impressive enough on their own, with the ability to regenerate lost limbs and stay “young” throughout their lives.
Their youthful traits include feathery gills sprouting from their heads like a mane, webbed feet, a dorsal fin that runs down the length of their body, and a tail. Though they keep their gills, adult axolotls also have functional lungs and can breathe through their skin. And as if being forever-babies didn’t make them cute enough, their mouths are upturned in a permanent Mona Lisa smile.
Those sweet little smiles can quickly turn into vacuum cleaners when it’s time to eat. Axolotls suck in their prey, which includes crustaceans, mollusks, insect eggs and small fish.
Axolotls in the wild are brownish gray, while captive animals are often white with pink gills.

Study of the day:
L’intuition immédiate qu’on a, est que notre processus de développement a pour but d’arriver à la construction du moi, en tant que sujet pensant, que tout n’a pour but que de construire l’individu qu’on est. Chacun croît ça pour lui-même, alors que nous ne sommes que des populations de cellules qui se développent, qui s’organisent parce qu’elles sont contraintes de s’organiser, parce que sinon elles dégénéreraient. ... Nous avons du mal à accepter que nous sommes au service de nos cellules et non l’inverse.
The immediate intuition we have is that our development process aims to achieve the construction of the self, as thinking subject, that everything is only there to build the individual we are. Everyone believes that for himself, while we are only cell populations that develop, which are organizing because they are forced to be organized, because otherwise they degenerate. ... It's hard to accept that we are serving our cells and not vice versa.

Tutorial on Instructables: www.instructables.com/id/Functional-LEGO-Nutcrackers/
With a simple pull of the lever, these decorative figures can open and close their jaws like authentic nutcrackers!
Both of these models were built in the recent weeks leading up to Christmas. The design was pretty straightforward, but two major issues were making the faces look good, and finally getting the hats right. In fact, the green nutcracker's crown took the longest to figure out, and was finally made with hinge plates.
As mentioned in the tutorial, although these can in fact function as real nutcrackers, they're somewhat rickety and best suited for holiday decorations.

Chassis n° 3073
When the World Sportscar Championship was launched in 1953, including the Le Mans and Mille Miglia races, Maserati decided to enter.
However, the marque had little experience with large-capacity engines required for this class. The Maserati Formula 1 racer, the 250F, had a 2.5-litre, six-cylinder engine. A 3-litre engine was derived from this unit, fitted with twin overhead camshafts, producing 280 hp. This engine was fitted to a chassis with a De Dion rear axle. The aluminium body was designed by Fantuzzi. Although racing cars have to be functional and not necessarily attractive, this Maserati, in its simple, fluid shape, is a real beauty.
The Maserati 300S’s debut in 1955 was not successful due to various teething problems. However, the following year a greatly enhanced model won the 1,000 km race in Buenos Aires driven by Stirling Moss and Carlos Menditeguy as well as the 1,000 km race at the Nürburgring, with Moss, Behra, Taruffi and Schell behind the wheel. Thanks to the 300S Maserati took second place in the Championship, behind Ferrari.

Inevitably I break them but bringing home a ceramic mug is one of my weak spots. The yellow one with a handle? Returning from a weekend spent with my sister and her friends in Harper's Ferry, WV I took the scenic route and kept seeing handwritten signs for a potter "need a mug" and instead of thinking "maybe I should stop..." I actually made the decision and followed through and did it. And I bought one for each of the ladies and I think I actually got the mugs too them. A minor miracle on my part. The luxurious one under it came from a festival we used to go to every year until the museum stopped hosting it but its my favorite mug and always reminds me of the horse drawn carousel and kettle popped corn. The mug with the x marks is from the sister and while its missing the handle its perfect for an afternoon cup of coffee--just the right size. There is a new one from Alisha back there stamped "grateful" because I so am and just need reminding and another from a different weekend retreat with my sister and another with the best glaze and terrific for that first cup because its huge... I hope to get one in CT too...
