Micro Sea Duck from Talespin. To scale with my Micro Thunderquack and with the other Micro models from www.brickvault.toys
Ganhei estes dois micro esmaltes, coisa mais fofa, claro que é apenas para decoração, nem ouso pensar em usar, ainda é capaz de nem dá para as unhas de uma mão. rsrs
Had a staff development day today and now students. I took these photographs outside the conference center during break.
Dick Mitsch's new little tugboat of his own design, Sea-weed, Jr., is 10’ 9” long with a beam of 4’ 9”
I got it from E-bay for $40. the description said it was from the "Edwardian" period so I assume it's from the early 1900s and from Britian.
Formation en micro-jardinage de l’Association du personnel de la FAO Sénégal à l’arrière-cour de la Représentation sous le parrainage du projet «Capitalisation de la technologie des microjardins de la Ville de Dakar». Pendant la première phase, la formatrice est revenue sur l’origine du micro-jardinage créé par le Colombien César Marulanda avant d’expliquer les compositions et le rôle du substrat utilisé, les différents types de graines, les techniques de repiquage et d’arrosage, l’utilité des éléments nutritifs comme le compost, ainsi que la protection des cultures contre maladies et parasites, avec l’utilisation de pesticides. La seconde phase a permis au personnel de passer à la pratique en semant, sur les tables de culture, plusieures espèces dont la laitue, l’aubergine, le poivron, la tomate, etc. ©FAO/Ousseynou Diop
The Micro CT Scanner in NETL's CT Imaging Facility in Morgantown, WV. The micro CT scanner is used to identify pore surfaces in core samples.
The pictures are not the greatest, but I didn't really feel like dragging the whole photo setup out again for two shots.
Using Adafruit PIR sensor and Neopixel 'thru' LEDs. The nice thing about the LEDs is that you get full RGB for two leds with one digital line. The LEDs are BIG and bright! The PIR sensors are really 'no fuss'.
1987 Lewis Galoob toys. Got this one in Singapore in 1988 on my way to London. This one's American package version.
Oh, now that's interesting, these trains must have been pre-production models, they've got proper bogies on them, bet they never reached production because they were deemed too fiddly for kids to put on the track
One of the joys of living in a log cabin in a forest is some native animals do not realise you are not a tree still so they figure it is their right to nest in the tree we call home. Every year we get the odd tree bat or micro bat i believe it is called move in for a while - tiny fellows that only come out at night .This one was on a log just below the ceiling , I taped a torch to the tele lens so it could get enough light to auto focus then used an external flash to light it up. these are the best shots I have of its face so far - love the channels in the ears (profile shot) that little claw on its foot.About the size of a swallow
A micro-torch. Currently these seem to be sold as "creme brulee" cooking accessories, this one served me to do medium sized soldering jobs (and shrink-tube) when I was a mechanic working my way through college.
Strobist info: Canon 430EX on 1/64 power, snooted and hand-held at an angle just to light up the chrome a bit.
The tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) is a plant in the Solanaceae or nightshade family, as are its close cousins tobacco, chili peppers, potato, and eggplant. The tomato is native to Central, South, and southern North America from Mexico to Peru. It is a perennial, often grown outdoors in temperate climates as an annual, typically reaching to 1–3 m (3 to 10 ft) in height, with a weak, woody stem that often vines over other plants.
The leaves are 10–25 cm long, odd pinnate, with 5–9 leaflets on petioles[1], each leaflet up to 8 cm long, with a serrated margin; both the stem and leaves are densely glandular-hairy. The flowers are 1–2 cm across, yellow, with five pointed lobes on the corolla; they are borne in a cyme of 3–12 together. The word tomato derives from a word in the Nahuatl language, tomatl. The specific name, lycopersicum, means "wolf-peach" (compare the related species S. lycocarpum, whose scientific name means "wolf-fruit", common name "wolf-apple").
Early history
A variety of heirloom tomatoes.According to Andrew F Smith's The Tomato in America,[2] the tomato probably originated in the highlands of the west coast of South America. Although Smith notes there is no evidence the tomato was cultivated or even eaten before the Spanish arrived, this thesis is also questionable. Other researchers have pointed out that many other fruits in continuous cultivation in Peru are not present in the very limited historical record. Much horticultural knowledge was lost after the arrival of Europeans.
There is a competing hypothesis that says the tomato, like the word "tomato", originated in Mexico, where one of the two apparently oldest "wild" types grows. It is entirely possible that domestication even arose in both regions independently. Diversity data suggests the center of diversity for wild tomatoes is located in Peru, while the that of cultivated tomatoes, in Mexico. Thus, it can be hypothesized that wild tomatoes were introduced from Peru to Mexico, where they were domesticated.
In any case, by some means the tomato migrated to Central America. Maya and other peoples in the region used the fruit in their cooking, and it was being cultivated in southern Mexico and probably other areas, by the 16th century. It is thought that the Pueblo people believed those who witnessed the ingestion of tomato seeds were blessed with powers of divination. The large, lumpy tomato, a mutation from a smoother, smaller fruit, originated and was encouraged in Central America. Smith states this variant is the direct ancestor of some modern cultivated tomatoes.
Two modern tomato cultivar groups, one represented by the Matt's Wild Cherry tomato, the other by currant tomatoes, both originate by recent domestication of the wild tomato plants apparently native to eastern Mexico.
I really like how this came out. Same as the others it was done with a wild m20 microscope at 100x with polarized light:)
Keeping with tradition I made a miniature version of this years Lego display. Really happy with how this one turned out especially the truck. It was very difficult trying to get the details I wanted but I got there in the end. I really enjoy the problem solving that comes with building miniatures even if I do pull some hair out along the way.
