The Foundation Stone for the Museum was laid on 23 October 1861 by Prince Albert in front of a large crowd.
It was not for another six years that the then Edinburgh Industrial Museum was opened by Prince Alfred in 1866.
Dr. George Wilson was first Director of the Industrial Museum of Scotland, from 1854 until his death in 1859. An enthusiastic chemist, he lectured in the Royal College of Physicians from 1840 and contributed to the literature on colour blindness. He was appointed to the Professorship of Technology in the University of Edinburgh in 1855.
As Director of the Industrial Museum of Scotland he built a collection which presented evidence of the rapid technological and scientific progress then taking place, including materials to illustrate a vast range of products and their manufacturing processes.
The Museum was founded as the Industrial Museum of Scotland in 1854. Renamed the Edinburgh Museum of Science and Art in 1864, it became the Royal Scottish Museum in 1904 and is now known as the National Museum of Scotland.
Have a look at the most recent images of the Museum from the re-opening on 29 July 2011and see what has changed.

Edward & Jay
Part of ‘In The Making’ exhibition - more than twenty objects during the manufacturing stage of their construction...curated by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, the design duo who are perhaps best known for designing the 2012 London Olympic torch.
The pair commented on the exhibition “‘We have always been fascinated by the making process as it is an integral part of our work. We have curated an exhibition that will provide a platform to capture and reveal a frozen moment in the manufacturing process and unveils an everyday object in its unfinished state. Often the object is as beautiful, if not more so, than the finished product!”

Custom Orthotics For Flat Feet
Flat Feet? No Problem with Custom Foot Orthotics
If you have flat feet, you know that this can contribute to problems. Because the entire sole of the foot comes into contact with the floor when standing, this can result in improper alignment of your legs. This can cause pain in your ankles as well as your knees. Flat feet are often caused when arches do not develop at an early age, typically during childhood. This can also be caused by an injury and is sometimes due to aging.
Is there a Solution for Flat Feet?
Foot orthotics for flat feet can be a relief for those who suffer from this condition. This can help relieve the aches that are experienced in the arches of the feet. Caused by the over-pronation or rolling of the ankle, this pain can be debilitating and it can also result in further injury to the feet over time.
Custom made orthotics that can be inserted into your shoes can help. They are custom fitted to your feet and have provided relief for many people. Choosing the type that is made by a method of molding cork, leather and ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) will provide the shock absorption and the comfort needed to relieve pain. The othotics are made by implementing technology with research, education and a manufacturing process that provides the craftsmanship needed for successful design.
Custom Fit is a Better Option
Many people try to treat flat feet with arch supports that they purchase over the counter. They may help somewhat or not at all. The best solution is orthotics for flat feet that are designed for your individual needs. The materials used will last for several years while providing the support your feet need and proper alignment of the legs when standing. In addition, flat feet are often associated with problems in the hips, knees and back. Support on a full time basis is needed and will be very beneficial to relieve many of these symptoms and to prevent further problems.
Foot orthotcs for flat feet should be made from a material that is lightweight for the best comfort. In addition, they offer shock absorption, which is very important. When standing, walking or running, weight is transferred to your feet. When they come into contact with the ground, this can cause an impact that for people with flat feet allows their feet to roll over to the inner side. This can put a strain on the ligaments and muscles in the legs. Arches in the feet help to distribute body weight in the legs and feet when walking on the many surfaces we come into contact with daily.
Orthotics are Beneficial for Many
Foot orthotics for flat feet can help by providing this distribution of weight for those who do not have arches. They are often recommended by health care providers for people who are experiencing pain from fallen or weak arches or hereditary flat feet. Diabetes is also a cause of flat feet and it is very important that the feet be protected when this condition is present. Arthritis sufferers can also benefit from orthotics as well as people with nervous system or muscle diseases.

SHAFTER, CA – Saturday August 30th 2008 at approximately 12:48 P.M., a call was received by the Kern County Fire Department for a structure fire in the 500 block of Shafter Ave, in Shafter. Approximately 40 Kern County Firefighters responded to the incident. As the first Battalion Chief arrived a third alarm was called for, this involved a total of 2 Ladder Trucks, 7 Engines, 3 Battalion Chiefs, 1 Deputy Chief. Also, Hazmat 66, Air Van 61 and Water Tender 51, along with various support and safety personnel.
As the first fire engine from Shafter left the station the crew reported a large column of black smoke and requested a full structure response. Upon arrival, crews were faced with liquid petroleum gas tanks (LPG) on fire, also a large amount of stored roofing and building paper materials were becoming involved, these products are used in the manufacturing process and are stored outside and at the rear of the property. The heat produced by the fire caused the adjacent steel clad warehouse building to become threatened. A second alarm was requested. Fire crews made an initial attack on the exterior fire. As more fire crews arrived an internal attack of the fire was made and to ensure that no body was inside the building. Fire crews are continuing to fight this fire. The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time.
(En) Founded in 1906, the Coking Plant of Anderlues was specialized in the production of coke for industrial use.
Coke was obtained by distillation of coal in furnaces and, thanks to its superior fuel coal properties, it was used afterwards to feed the blast furnaces in the steel manufacturing process.
Closed and abandoned since 2002, the site has since undergone many losses and damages, not including an important pollution. While some buildings have now been demolished, there are however still some important parts of the former coking plant.
Among them, the former coal tower, next to the imposing "battery" of 38 furnaces, where the coke was produced. Besides them, we still can see the administrative buildings, the power station with its cooling tower, and buildings for the by-products, which were obtained by recovering the tar and coal gas. There are also a gasometer north side, the coal tip east side and a settling basin south side.

(Fr) Fondées en 1906, les Cokeries d'Anderlues étaient spécialisées dans la fabrication de coke à usage industriel.
Le coke était obtenu par distillation de la houille dans des fours et, grâce à ses propriétés combustibles supérieures au charbon, il servait par après à alimenter les hauts-fourneaux dans le processus de fabrication de l'acier.
Fermé et laissé à l'abandon depuis 2002, le site a depuis lors subi de nombreuses pertes et dégradations, sans compter la pollution qui y règne. Si certains bâtiments (comme l'ancien lavoir à charbon) ont aujourd'hui été démolis, on retrouve encore toutefois certaines parties importantes de cette ancienne cokerie.
Parmi celles-ci, l'ancienne tour à charbon suivie de près par l'imposante "batterie" de 38 fours, où était produit le coke. A côté d'eux, on découvre également les bâtiments administratifs, la centrale électrique avec sa tour de refroidissement, ainsi que les bâtiments des sous-produits, lesquels étaient obtenus par récupération du goudron et du gaz de houille. Et en périphérie, on retrouve un gazomètre côté nord, le terril à l'est et un bassin de décantation côté sud.
The design process started with a cost prohibitive idea of creating a fully functional multi-piece plastic astrolabe that would cradle the CD as well as do everything an astrolabe does. When i started pricing the supplies and manufacturing process involved it became clear that 1. this was going to be a stunning piece of work if completed, & 2. it was going to be VERY expensive.
Ipecac did not spring for the $6 per unit cost that would have been incurred to make the astrolabe design. It’s a shame really as this would have been a truly stunning unique piece of packaging.
regardless it still looks quite nice and has potential for future applications somewhere somehow.

Coconut candy refer to various candies made with coconut or coconut flavorings.
In Vietnamese cuisine, kẹo dừa coconut candy is most commonly produced in Bến Tre province, Vietnam with coconut milk and coconut cream.
In the United States, coconut candy was sometimes spelled as cocoanut candy. These included various traditional confections in the United States. Mason Pecan Cocoanut Candy was made in the 1950s in Milprint, Milwaukee. Squirrel Brand made Cocoanut Zippers. There was also a Mason Cherry Cocoanut candy produced in Mineola, New York. Welch's made Cocoanut Candy Bar from Hinde & Dauch. Welch's Cocoanut candy was also produced by the James O. Welch Company.
Sauerkraut candy is made with grated coconut. Grated coconut is often used in various chocolate confections.
VIETNAM
The Bến Tre Province is nicknamed by Vietnamese as the "Land of Coconut" (Xu Dua). The Vietnamese term for coconut candy is "kẹo dừa", with kẹo = candy and dừa = coconut. Coconut candy was originally associated with Mỏ Cày, a small township within the Bến Tre province.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The production of Vietnamese coconut candy starts with the grating of fresh coconut flesh. The grated flesh is then pressed to extract coconut milk and coconut cream. The next step is the addition of malt syrup and sugar to this mixture of coconut milk and cream. The ratio of the various ingredients is a closely guarded secret of individual coconut candy manufacturers. The mixing process is often entrusted only to family members of the factory owner. Slight variations in the ingredient ratios can lead to very different texture and taste in the final product.
The mixture is then heated to a very high temperature in large woks over fires generated by the burning of coconut shells. While being heated, the mixture is stirred continuously to ensure even heat distribution. Traditionally, this stirring process was done manually with large wooden paddles. In larger modern manufacturing facilities, these paddles have been replaced by electric motors. The mixture eventually caramelises to a thicker texture. Recognising when the mixture has been cooked to the right level is more of an art than an exact science. While it is still hot and soft, the thickened mixture is then stringed out into moulds and allowed to cool. The final step sees the candy strings cut into rectangular lozenges, then wrapped and packaged.
Traditionally, coconut candy is wrapped in two layers of wrappings. The inner layer is edible rice paper, and the outer layer is paper soaked in vegetable oil. These measures were necessary to stop the candy from sticking to the paper wrapping. Larger manufacturers now use heat-sealed foil paper, which does not stick to the candy.
ECONOMIC IMPORTANCE
Bến Tre currently has over one hundred coconut candy manufacturers, making up thirty percent of local enterprises. However, the market is dominated by a handful of well-known brands, with most manufacturers producing candy under licence for these brands. Coconut candy is sold throughout Vietnam. It is also exported to other Asian countries, Australia, Europe, and North America.

Ellistown Brick & Pipe Co., Ellistown, Coalville, Leics.
Ellistown colliery and brickworks were established by Joseph Joel Ellis in the mid 1870s. Joseph had previously owned the Nailstone Colliery Co.
In 1897 Joseph died, the colliery, brickworks and estate being carried on by trustees under Orders of the Court of Chancery until 1936 when the colliery and brickworks were separated into two separate companies. Ellistown Brick and Pipe Company closed before the Second World War.
Ellistown Pipe Works was taken over by Hepworth Iron and Steel Co. in the 1960’s and was operated as a Clay Pipe manufacturing unit 1986. The unit was then redeveloped by Hepworth Building
Products and reopened as a brick plant in 1988, the factory and associated stock ground covers 9 acres.
The Ellistown Brick Factory was sold to Ibstock Brick in September 1999 and operated as an extruded brick unit. The manufacturing process was changed to soft mud with the ability to change back to
produce wirecut extruded brick in spring 2002. To produce soft mud brick the unit uses local raw materials to produce up to 55 million bricks per year.

A wine glass with round funnel bowl and double knop stem, manufactured in England in the late 18th century.
The glass has a plain, undecorated round funnel shaped bowl. The stem of the glass is decorated by twisting threads known as a multi-spiral air twist. Two rounded bumps known as knops are also located on the stem of the glass.
The glass sits on a conical foot with an unground pontil. This pontil is a bump which was left over from the manufacturing process and marks the point where the glassblower's pipe was attached to the glass.
The air twist style of stem manufacture occurred within the British glass making industry between 1730-1780. The effect was achieved by piercing the base of the glass bowl with a circle of nails whilst the glass was still molten. This introduced air bubbles into the base of the bowl. The stem was then pulled or 'drawn' and simultaneously twisted to form the spiral effect.

Minton Tiles
The richly patterned and colored Minton tile floors are one of the most striking features of the extensions of the United States Capitol. They were first installed in 1856, when Thomas U. Walter was engaged in the design and construction of vast additions to the Capitol (1851-1865). For the floors in his extensions, Walter chose encaustic tile for its beauty, durability and sophistication.
•Artist: Minton, Hollins and Company
•Date: Installed in 1856
One striking example of the contrast between the interiors of the Old Capitol (finished in 1826) and the extensions (begun in 1851) may be seen in the differences in flooring materials. In the Old Capitol, stone pavers were used in corridors and other public spaces, such as the Rotunda and Crypt, while brick was used to floor committee rooms and offices. These materials, although durable and fireproof, would have looked plain and old-fashioned to the Victorian eye. In the mid-19th century, encaustic tile flooring was considered the most suitable and beautiful material for high-traffic areas. Unlike ordinary glazed tile, the pattern in encaustic tile is made of colored clays inlaid or imbedded in the clay ground. Because the color is part of the fabric of the encaustic tile, it will retain its beauty after years of wear. One observer noted:
“The indestructibility of tiles may be judged from the fact that the excavations at Pompeii have unearthed apartments where painted tiles are just as beautiful, the colors as fresh and bright as... when the fated city was in all its glory.”
Two types of tile were used at the U.S. Capitol: plain and inlaid encaustic tiles in a range of colors. Plain tiles were used as borders for the elaborate inlaid designs or to pave large corridor areas. They were available in seven colors: buff, red, black, drab, chocolate, light blue and white. Additional colors, such as cobalt blue, blue-gray, and light and dark green, appear in the inlaid encaustic tiles that form the elaborate centerpieces and architectural borders. They were made by “filling indentations in the unburnt tile with the desired colors and burning the whole together.”
The patterns and designs formed in the inlaid tiles were limited only by taste and imagination. They include geometric patterns such as the Greek key, guilloche, and basket weave; floral designs such as the fleur-de-lis; and figures such as dolphins and classical heads. Few of the patterns are repeated. Although most of the tiles are six-by-six-inch squares, some are round, triangular or pie-shaped. Approximately 1,000 different tile patterns are used in the corridors of the Capitol alone, and up to 100 different tiles may be needed to create a single design.
The original encaustic tiles in the Capitol extensions were manufactured at Stoke-upon-Trent in Staffordshire, England, by Minton, Hollins and Company. The firm’s patented tiles had won numerous gold medals at international exhibitions and were considered the best tiles made. In 1876, having seen Minton’s large display at the Centennial Exhibition in Philadelphia, one critic wrote, “Messr. Minton shone superior to all exhibits of the sort… and may be cited as showing the highest results in tile-pottery achieved by modern skill and research.”
Beginning in 1856, and continuing for five years, the tile was installed by the import firm of Miller and Coates of New York City. For the journey from New York to Washington, the tiles were packed in wooden casks weighing about 1100 pounds; each cask contained enough tiles to pave about 100 square feet. The cost of the tile ranged from $0.68 to $2.03 per square foot.
Thomas U. Walter had every reason to believe that the encaustic tile floors would last as long as his extensions stood. One visitor noted in 1859 that the tile floors vied with the beauty of marble and surpassed it in durability. While perhaps valid for other installations, however, this prediction proved overly optimistic for the Capitol Building. By 1924, the Minton tile was removed from the corridors in the first and second floors of the House Wing and replaced by “marble tile in patterns of a simple order.” In that day, marble was selected for its superior durability and because suitable replacement tile was difficult to find.
In the 1970s, however, a similar condition prompted a very different response. In 1972, a search was undertaken to determine a source of similar tiles in order to restore the original appearance of the building. Inquiries were made of all major American tile manufacturers, the American Ceramic Tile Manufacturers Association, and even Mexican and Spanish tile suppliers. Although the colors and designs could be reproduced relatively easily, the patterns would quickly wear because they would be applied to the surface. The “inlaid” feature of the encaustic tiles, i.e., the approximately 1/8-inch thickness of the pattern and color, is the characteristic that enables the Minton tiles to be walked upon for over 100 years without signs of wear. It was this technique that formed the basic difficulty of manufacture.
Finally, as a result of the Capitol’s needs becoming generally known, the Architect of the Capitol was placed in contact with H & R Johnson Tiles Ltd., located at Stoke-on-Trent, England. It was discovered that that firm was a successor company to the Minton Tile Co. and had even retained many of the original hand tools and forms in a private museum at the company’s manufacturing site.
Contact was then made with Mr. James Ellis, the Directing Architect of Ancient Monuments and Historic Buildings for the Crown. He had been trying for many years to establish a program for the replacement of the worn Minton tiles at the Houses of Parliament but had more or less given up the attempt because of H & R Johnson’s continued unwillingness to revive the encaustic tile process. However, the restoration work at the Arts and Industries Building of the Smithsonian Institution was in process at about the time the needs of the Capitol became known; it thus appeared that a market for such tiles was developing to the degree that the manufacturer began to reconsider its prior position. The company thus began the experiments that finally led to the present availability, after many decades, of the original Minton-type tiles.
Because the tiles in the Capitol are more decorative and have more complicated designs and color combinations than those in either the Houses of Parliament or the Smithsonian, those institutions were able to obtain replacement tiles sooner than the Capitol. The lessons learned in the manufacture of the simpler tiles served as a basis for filling the later needs.
Color photographs and full-sized drawings of the many required patterns were made and recorded, and many developmental submissions were made as the hand-made manufacturing process was re-developed. Finally, in 1986, the first acceptable tiles were delivered. The installation process was accomplished with modern cement adhesives and has yielded excellent results.
The program enabled the original tiles to be replaced with exact replicas. This project began on the first floor of the Senate wing, where the effects of 130 years of wear and tear were most noticeable. Replacement tile was closely scrutinized to ensure fidelity to the nineteenth-century originals. While difficult and slow, this process is the only fitting response to the history of the Capitol extensions, not only to restore the original beauty and elegance of these unique floors, but also to provide for their continuing attractiveness for the foreseeable future.

In this work mussels are lashed into an electro-stimulated design apparatus to make a vase. They are allowed to relax up to a certain point, then shocked, prompting movement that scratches a design onto the object. The resulting form might be seen as a sobering memento mori, a reflection on manufacturing processes that exploit biology.

E-Max crowns and veneers have been a staple of modern dentistry for years. E-Max is preferred by many dentists and patients for its strength, versatility and high levels of customization. The E-Max crown is a type of all-ceramic crown, which is preferred for its longer lasting, aesthetic qualities. This crown and the Zirconia crown are worn due to their highly attractive appearance. which ensures that they compliment the rest of your teeth. It is considered a viable option for damaged, stained or poor quality teeth. Made entirely from ceramic, these crowns and veneers are considered by many to be the best match for patients’ own natural teeth and breakthrough in crown manufacturing technology.

Our entire business was founded on giving your patients healthy, natural-looking smiles and improving their overall oral health.

On Scene with Watertown Volunteer with a smoky structure fire at 20 McLennan Dr in the Oakville section of town. First due crews found heavy smoke coming from Quality Automatics Inc ,a machine shop located at that address. Crews immediately stretched lines and hit the hydrant at the end of the dead end street for an additional water source. Extension ladders were used to access the roof for ventilation since powerlines prevented the aerial ladders from being used. The fire was brought under control after approximately 30 minutes but required extensive overhaul and ventilation. In addition hazmat precautions had to be taken due to the lubricants and by products of the manufacturing process at the business were mixed with the water and foam used to extinguish the blaze.
