Have a great day --
I'm off to the Wild Animal Park with Lisa today!
"Albertus Magnus, also known as Albert the Great, was one of the most universal thinkers to appear during the Middle Ages. Even more so than his most famous student, St. Thomas of Aquinas, Albert's interests ranged from natural science all the way to theology. He made contributions to logic, psychology, metaphysics, meteorology, mineralogy, and zoology. He was an avid commentator on nearly all the great authorities read during the 13th Century. He was deeply involved in an attempt to understand the import of the thought of Aristotle in some orderly fashion that was distinct from the Arab commentators who had incorporated their own ideas into the study of Aristotle. Yet he was not averse to using some of the outstanding Arab philosophers in developing his own ideas in philosophy. His superior understanding of a diversity of philosophical texts allowed him to construct one of the most remarkable syntheses in medieval culture."

Today, 15 November, is the feast of St Albert the Great, Dominican friar, bishop, saint, and Doctor of the Church. He is patron of scientists.
This painting of the saint is on the ceiling of Santa Maria dell'Anima in Rome.

Name: Magnus
Type: Rumble
Pilot: Greg Batton
Special Ability: Tank mode
Description: This mech equipped with unusual wheelbase, which gives it an incredible cross-country, but requires sacrifice speed. It is designed with an emphasis on its durability and resistance to weather conditions and this allows it to withstand the test seriously, which can be found on the road.
Build notes: I started to build this mech because of the idea of his legs and interesting built-in wheels. I decided that for such feet need a massive body, resembling a tank base.

A little something I found in the archives! He always makes me smile.
Been terribly busy of late and really not doing much editing or flickring. I will catch up again one of these days... and in the meantime, Have a happy weekend!
Poppies: Weeping Window
14-18 NOW and Poppies Weeping Window.
St Magnus Cathedral was the first venue in Scotland to host Poppies: Weeping Window which was presented in Orkney to mark the centenary of the Battle of Jutland.
Weeping Window is a cascade comprising several thousand handmade ceramic poppies seen pouring from a high window to the ground below. The sculpture, by artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper, is part of 14-18 NOW, the UK’s arts programme for the First World War Centenary.
The breath-taking sculpture, alongside Wave, a sweeping arch of bright red poppy heads suspended on towering stalks, was initially conceived as one of the key dramatic sculptural elements in the installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London in the autumn of 2014.
Orkney was the home of the Royal Navy’s Grand Fleet, and on 31 May 2016 Orkney will host the UK’s official commemoration for the Battle of Jutland. The largest and most decisive naval battle of the First World War was fought at the cost of over 8,000 lives. On the 5 June 2016 events will take place to commemorate the loss of HMS Hampshire which was sunk by a mine West of Orkney. 737 men lost their lives including the Secretary of State for War Lord Kitchener.
During this period a number of commemorative events, talks and exhibitions will be taking place throughout Orkney that will allow both our communities and visitors to reflect in particular on Orkney’s pivotal role in the war at sea and the great sacrifice made by both the Navy and civilian maritime communities.
As with all 14-18 NOW projects, the presentation of these sculptures across the UK brings the legacy of the First World War to life for new generations.
I have always admired the kind of photographers who are able to approach complete strangers, start a conversation and obtain very natural portraits.
This picture of Magnus is one of my first conscious attempts at that. He was sitting on the other side of the Elbe playing his guitar and singing very quietly while he drank his beer.
What brought him there?
Is this a broken-hearted man or simply a hopeless romantic who sings quietly to the river wind?
What drives a man to such apparent loneliness?
This city is so full of lonely people who carry their aloneness as a cross but I would like to think that he is not one of them.
I would like to think that he likes his solitude and he has learned its importance. Perhaps he is a vivid lesson on the importance of stillness or perhaps he has found the vital sound of himself in the middle of the noise.
I prefer that idea.
He sang a song "of his" that I confused for an old German song. It was about a woman gone astray, I think.
We agreed that he can use this picture as he wishes under the condition that, should he record an album, it would be on the cover.

Saw the new Police cruiser-centric episode of Top Gear USA last night. I originally wanted to make a new badass TT cruiser myself. Due to a parts shortage, I instead sidetracked to editing the Thunderhead Magnus Police unit. Edits include different lights setup and a new front bumper for PIT maneuvers. I was going to make a write up about how the new bumper is connected to the chassis for more strength, but I decided not to since I'm not sure if that's a good idea.
In November 2001 the first deliveries to Global of Scania K114s with Castrosua Magnus S coachwork commenced. Seven of these were 15m, 7482BRN being the second of these with fleet number 1339. It was one of the few with single rear doors, evidently the only time that Global opted for this. It was imaged on Avenida de Touroperador Tui in Campo Internacional on 10th March 2014, working service 39 to Faro bus station, thence onward. (d14-0134f)

Magnus Stifter (1878-1943) was an Austrian actor and film director, who acted in well over 100 German - mostly silent - films.
Magnus Stifter attended the commercial academy and received his training as an actor with Otto. In 1899 he made his debut in Innsbruck, in 1901 he played in Salzburg, in 1903 in Linz and from 1905 to 1908 in Berlin. In the 1908/09 season he acted at the Deutsches Theater in New York. In 1909 he received an engagement at the Schauspielhaus Dresden and at the same time the title "Hofschauspieler". His repertoire here included Egmont, Mercutio and Fiesco.
At the beginning of the First World War, Stifter was a lieutenant in the artillery, but it was around this time that his career as a sought-after silent film actor began. After an occasional bit part in the Asta Nielsen film Weisse Rosen (Urban Gad, 1914), his film career really set off in 1916. That year, he also directed two films with Asta Nielsen: Dora Brandes and Das Liebes-ABC, both with Ludwig Trautmann co-acting. In 1917 he acted opposite Pola Negri in a string of films (Wenn das Herz in Haß erglüht, Küsse, die man stiehlt im Dunkeln, Die toten Augen), while he had minor part in Negri's films Carmen (1918) and Kreuziget sie! (1919), and played the Spanish ambassador in Negri's Madame Dubarry (1919). In 1917 Stifter also acted opposite the main actresses of late 1910s German cinema: Asta Nielsen (Die Rose der Wildnis), Hella Moja (Der Schwur der Renate Rabenau), Lotte Neumann (Die Richterin), Erna Morena (Rafaela), and Ellen Richter (Für die Ehre des Vaters; Strandgut/ Die Rache des Meeres). In 1918-1919 he continued with films starring Hella Moja, Ellen Richter, but also Helga Molander, Hanne Brinkmann, Gertrud Welcker, Ria Jende (Seelenverkäufer, 1919), Eva May (Staatsanwalt Jordan, 1919), Bruno Kastner (Zwischen zwei Welten, 1919), Mia May (Veritas vincit, 1919), Manja Tzatschewa, Carola Toelle, etc. He alternated leads with major supporting parts, often playing fathers, police commissioners, and so on.
In the early 1920s, Stifter remained highly active, mostly in supporting parts, such as the friend of the lead (Conrad Veidt) In F.W. Murnau's Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde's adaptation Der Januskopf (1920), and the first friend and then fiend of the lead Hans Mierendorff in Paul Leni's Die Verschwörung zu Genua (1921). But mostly Stifter had supporting parts in many genre films such as crime and detective films, adventure films, comedies and melodramas, among which several Joe Deebs detective films starring Ferdinand von Alten, star vehicles with Lya Mara, and adventure films with Italian strongman Luciano Albertini. Major parts Stifter had in e.g. the two-part Zalamort. Der Traum der Zalavie (Emilio Ghione, 1923-24) starring Emilio Ghione and Fern Andra, Orient (Gennaro Righelli, 1924) starring Harry Liedtke and Maria Jacobini, G'schichten aus dem Wiener Wald (Jaap Speyer, 1928) starring Eric Barclay and Fritz Schulz, and Verirrte Jugend (Richard Löwenbein, 1929). The latter was probably Stifter's last major part in film - even if several small ones would still follow, in the early sound era. As Stifter's film work diminished in the 1920s, he turned more to the theatre again. From 1929 he worked at the Theater der Jugend and from 1934 at the Theater des Volkes. At the Stage Arbitration Court and Labour Court he acted, among other things, as umpire, secretary and assessor. His son Magnus Stifter (1906-1940) also became an actor. All in all, Magnus Stifter acted in 110 films.
