Nella mitologia greca Icaro (in greco antico: Ἴκαρος; in latino Icarus; in etrusco: Vicare) era figlio dell'inventore Dedalo e di Naucrate, una schiava di Minosse.
Salvatore Rizzuti nasce nel 1949 a Caltabellotta, un suggestivo paese dell'agrigentino incastonato in un selvaggio paesaggio rupestre che domina ampie vallate in fondo alle quali appare, quasi come un lontano miraggio, il mare. Trascorre l'infanzia e l'adolescenza a contatto con la natura, assorbendo profondamente i valori archetipici dell'ambiente agro-pastorale che lo circonda e popolando il proprio mondo solitario e fantastico di fanciullo-pastore di personaggi immaginari e giocattoli intagliati nel legno e nella pietra e costruiti con le proprie mani; ma è soltanto quando, nel 1967, decide di stabilirsi a Palermo per portare a compimento gli studi artistici, che comincia la vera e propria elaborazione del proprio passato quasi mitico....
Salvatore Rizzuti nel '72 si diploma al Liceo Artistico di Palermo, nel '76 consegue il diploma di scultura presso l'Accademia di Belle Arti di Palermo.

Nel 1980 diventa titolare della Cattedra di Scultura nella stessa Accademia di Palermo dove era già stato allievo, e la mantiene fino al pensionamento, avvenuto il 31 ottobre 2015.
Ha realizzato diversi monumenti pubblici, fra cui il monumento alle vittime della mafia a Campobello di Mazara, il monumento a Francesco Crispi a Ribera e il monumento agli emigranti ad Alessandria della Rocca.
Ha realizzato opere di scultura per diverse chiese della Sicilia, fra cui la chiesa della Magione e quella di San Tommaso D’Aquino a Palermo e la Madrice a Caltabellotta.
È stato direttore dei restauri plastici del Teatro Massimo di Palermo, dal 1986 al 1997, realizzando anche il rifacimento in vetroresina del “Fiorone” sormontante la cupola dello stesso teatro.

Caltabellotta (Cataviddotta in siciliano) ...per la sua posizione geografica ed i suoi capisaldi territoriali venne identificata dagli storici Inveges, Boudrand e Ottavio Gaetani con l'antica città Sicana di Camico sulle cui rovine sorse la greca Triocala.
Triocala deve il suo nome a tre caratteristiche naturali che la circondano: la rocca che la rendeva inespugnabile, l'abbondanza delle acque e la fertilità delle sue campagne....
Nikola Tesla was born an ethnic Serb in the village Smiljan, Lika county, in the Austrian Empire (present day Croatia), on 10 July 1856. He was a Serbian-American inventor, electrical engineer, mechanical engineer, and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current (AC) electricity supply system. Tesla's work fell into relative obscurity following his death, until 1960, when the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the SI unit of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor.

The former offices of the Croesor quarry, and even allowing for their exposed position they look as if they have at least a centuries ruin under their belt. I'd like to think Moses Kellow, the one-time manager, inventor and renaissance man strode around these rooms, warming his backside before a blazing fire while mulling over his latest invention.
The Wikipedia page

is a great read, and an overview of his genius.

16 things about myself:
1) Thinks that Vladimir Nabokov is one of the greatest writers which English language has ever produced.
2) Until now, black is his favorite color.
3) Intermittently suffers from a short term memory loss. Has lost his bicycle several times before remembering where he left it.
4) Likes snow but not snowfall.
5) Is amazingly good at forgetting names but remembering faces.
6) Thinks bantering comes to him naturally. Once he gets to know someone (i.e. gather initial required data to start bantering), it could be fun ;-).
7) Has tried several times to start and maintain a blog but has never made it.
8) In some cultures 8 is an auspicious number. But what does this has to do with me?
9) Firmly believes that in a movie/novel, more important than a story is the manner in which it is unrolled to the viewer/reader. Take “Pulp Fiction” as an example. Well, this doesn’t apply to most Bollywood movies, since they lack both.
10) Is trying very hard to learn French. Mais, quel dommage! :-)
11) Loves Italian cuisine, apart from Indian, offcourse!
12) Firmly believes that inventor of the microwave should be laureated with a Nobel Prize. Probably a peace prize for his invention which has quelled several social unrests ;-)
13) Wada Pav and Misal Pav are two of his favorite snacks.
14) Loves to watch Roger Federer play Tennis.
15) Thinks that there’s probably no God.
16) One of his favorite lines is:
"Men have forgotten this truth," said the fox. "But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."
Original Version:
"Les hommes ont oublié cette vérité, dit le renard. Mais tu ne dois pas l’oublier. Tu deviens responsable pour toujours de ce que tu as apprivoisé. "
-- The Little Prince, Antoine de Saint Exupéry
"By golly, look at it go, Branston!" the older businessman said, pleasantly surprised at the unexpected mannerism of the robot that. Branston just raised an eyebrow in scrutiny. He had to be sure of the thing they were about to invest in.
"So how do you like him, gentlemen? He's ready to work, self-sufficient, intelligent, and he'll definitely do good work in the mines," the inventor said. His partner grinned in satisfaction, sure of their creation, knowing that with this one chance, they can and will finally land their first big break. He just hoped that Branston agrees as well, of course.

Gumbo. Somehow gumbo comes to mind when I think of how Detroit will be revitalized. Over 100 years ago the city was a gumbo mix of tinkerers and inventors. These men worked throughout the city in small shops dedicated to making a variety of goods- horse carriages, stoves, etc. Through a series of coincidences that can’t quite be explained, several of these tinkerers turned their attention to the horseless carriage. Why Detroit and not some other city is anyone’s guess. The automobile and its hundreds and hundreds of parts proved to be like some type of base- metal catnip for these garage based inventors. In time, the gumbo coalesced into a massive machine with one single beating heart. This mighty heart was a site to see as hundreds of thousands of immigrants flowed into the city. Then one day this heart started to give out. The folks that had come to depend on the machine were cast adrift. What do they do now?
Gumbo. The future is not in some new machine to replace the dying machine; rather it is in the source of the old machine. The city needs to find a way to welcome and encourage the modern day tinkerers and inventors. Creating a vibrant culture of risk taking and commerce, a rich and thick stew of commercial activity. Instead of desperately trying to lure a Wal- Mart into the city, maybe the city should make it easy for the next Sam Walton to emerge from its midst. This little block in the Cass Corridor is an encouraging sign of gumbo returning south of 8 Mile.
built orginally for our Oamaru Brickshow, which was steampunkish themed. Oamaru down here is considered the capital of steampunk, so it was fitting for the occassion. Enjoy
IL CASTELLETTO DI ARTURO MALIGNANI.
Sul colle del Castello possiamo notare quella che fu l’abitazione dell’inventore friulano Arturo Malignani, nato a Udine nel 1865 e appassionato di fotografia, geologia, meteorologia. Egli, mentre era ancora studente del Politecnico di Milano, si appassionò di elettricità, ed in particolare della tecnologia che stava dietro la lampada ad incandescenza. Una volta rientrato a Udine, lasciò il laboratorio fotografico ereditato dal padre in gestione ad una persona di fiducia, dedicandosi agli studi ed agli esperimenti sulla lampadina. Così facendo egli risolse passo dopo passo i difetti che affliggevano la lampadina di Edison. Nel 1888, sicuro del proprio prodotto, vinse l'appalto comunale per l'illuminazione pubblica facendo di Udine la terza città in Europa illuminata elettricamente. Edison, venuto a conoscenza della cosa, chiamò l'inventore friulano negli Stati Uniti dove, dopo una serie di esperimenti condotti assieme ed i cui risultati lo convinsero pienamente, acquisì il brevetto nel 1896. Egli divenne così produttore di lampadine e fondò la società elettrica che forniva energia a gran parte della città e dei dintorni, realizzando centrali elettriche che sfruttavano i salti d'acqua delle rogge cittadine.

Carte de visite by H.H. Freeman of Belvidere, Ill. A man stands next to what appears to be a model of an engineering improvement. He may have been the brain behind the invention, and intended this image to be submitted to the patent office in Washington, D.C. Using photography for this came of age when the carte de visite became all the rage in the U.S.
I encourage you to use this image for educational purposes only. However, please ask for permission.
My build for Round 3 of The Tourney at MOCpages. Halhi141, Infernum, and Brick all gave me helpful suggestions for this build. Credit for the lantern design goes to Brick, though I modified it slightly. This was an extremely fun build. I tilted the wood sections using ball joints, for the first time. The idea of the build was to create a wacky, and whimsical atmosphere. Hence the unusual colorscheme for the build.
There's a full interior, and the elevator actually works. Also Amfridus has devised a bucket system whereby he procures water without leaving his home.
Amfridus the Inventor lives in his tower outside of Guaire. Unlike some inventors, he is very friendly. Naysayers claim his chemical experiments have polluted the stream which runs by his home, but the plentiful aquatic life seems to show otherwise. Rego and Dedan pay Amfridus a visit hoping to procure some new inventions and potions that will give them an edge in The Tourney.

"After taking his dog for a walk one day in the early 1940s, George de Mestral, a Swiss inventor, became curious about the seeds of the burdock plant that had attached themselves to his clothes and to the dog's fur. Under a microscope, he looked closely at the hook-and-loop system that the seeds use to hitchhike on passing animals aiding seed dispersal, and he realized that the same approach could be used to join other things together. The result was Velcro" wikipedia.org
Hattie: Hello, what are you doing?
Tina: I'm inventing kids. Duh! What does it look like?
Hattie: Perhaps kidnapping to start with. Then unscrupulous handling of minors.
Tina: Pah! My dear child, this is science at its best. Only this little chap didn't fit in the oven. A setback I'll admit.
Hattie: Hm. Oh, that little nipper is getting away.
Tina: Quick! Grab the tongs and get him! He'll fit in there for sure.

I made this guy in early 2018, and i personally consider him to be a massive turning point in my proficiency as a builder. The moc itself is a reimagining of an older character in a much sleeker refined style, which ended up being something i would try and stick to ever since.
The old photo i have of him is a bit outdated now as i made several minor changes to the moc each time i went to a new convention or fixed him up from a shelf fall, so i figured he deserved a new photoshoot. I like this pose a lot more too.
His Genius lives despite massive cover-up.
Nikola Tesla's prediction of a smartphone, Collier’s magazine interview, 1926:
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance.
Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone.
A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket."

I told Apollo about Zhi's and my need for a time machine..and seeing as though Apollo is such a genius, he worked for days and days without food or sleep and finally ...he did it..a time machine that will transport you to any time..for us, Zhi, it is designation..the Victorian era!
I am curious what time everyone would want to go to in Apollo's time machine? Any time is possible! <3
