The kit and its assembly:

This build is the combination of ingredients that had already been stashed away for a long time, and the “Red Lights” Group Build at whatifmodellers.com in early 2021 was a good motivator and occasion to finally put everything together.

The basis is an ARII 1:72 Cessna T337 model kit – I had purchased it long ago with the expectation to create a military Skymaster from it, but I was confused by a fixed landing gear which would make it a 336? Well, without a further concrete plan the kit preliminarily landed in The Stash™…

However, the ARII model features the optional observation windows in the doors on the starboard side, in the form of a complete(!) fuselage half, so that it lends itself to a police or firefighter aircraft of some sort. This idea was furthermore fueled by a decal sheet that I had been given from a friend, left over from a 1:72 Italeri JetRanger, with three optional police helicopter markings.

The final creative element was the real-world “Pelican” conversion of six O-2As for the US Navy, as mentioned in the background above: the front engine was replaced with a longer nose and the engine configuration changed to a pusher-only aircraft with a single powerful turboprop engine. This looked so odd that I wanted to modify the ARII Cessna in a similar fashion, too, and all these factors came together in this model.

My Arii Cessna 337 kit is a re-boxing from 2009, but its origins date back to Eidai in 1972 and that’s just what you get: a vintage thing with some flash and sinkholes, raised (but fine) surface details and pretty crude seams with bulges and gaps. Some PSR is direly necessary, esp. the fit of the fuselage halves is cringeworthy. The clear parts were no source of joy, either; especially the windscreen turned out to be thick, very streaky (to a degree that I’d almost call it opaque!) and even not fully molded! The side glazing was also not very clear. I tried to improve the situation through polishing, but if the basis is already poor, there’s little you can do about it. Hrmpf.

However, the kit was built mostly OOB, including the extra O-2 glazing in the lower doors, but with some mods. One is a (barely visible) extra tank in the cabin’s rear, plus a pilot and an observer figure placed into the tight front seats. The extended “Pelican” nose was a lucky find – I was afraid that I had had to sculpt a nose from scratch with 2C putty. But I found a radome from a Hasegawa RA-5C, left over from a model I built in the Eighties and that has since long fallen apart. However, this nose fitted almost perfectly in size and shape, I just “blunted” the tip a little. Additionally, both the hull in front of the dashboard and the Vigilante radome were filled with as many lead beads as possible to keep the nose down.

The kit’s OOB spatted, fixed landing gear was retained – even though it is dubious for a Cessna 337, because this type had a fully retractable landing gear, and the model has the landing gear covers actually molded into the lower fuselage. On the other side, the Cessna 336’s fixed landing gear looks quite different, too! However, this is a what-if model, and a fixed landing gear might have been a measure to reduce maintenance costs?

The propeller was replaced with a resin four-blade aftermarket piece (from CMK, probably the best-fitting thing on this build!) on my standard metal axis/styrene tube adapter arrangement. The propeller belongs to a Shorts Tucano, but I think that it works well on the converted Cessna and its powerful pusher engine, even though in the real world, the SA-550 is AFAIK driven by a three-blade prop. For the different engine I also enlarged the dorsal air intake with a 1.5 mm piece of styrene sheet added on top of the molded original air scoop and added a pair of ventral exhaust stubs (scratched from sprue material).

Another addition is a pair of winglets, made from 0.5 mm styrene sheet – an upgrade which I found on several late Cessna 337s in various versions. They just add to the modernized look of the aircraft. For the intended observation role, a hemispherical fairing under the nose hides a 180° camera, and I added some antennae around the hull.

However, a final word concerning the model kit itself: nothing fits, be warned! While the kit is a simple affair and looks quite good in the box, assembling it turned out to be a nightmare, with flash, sinkholes, a brittle styrene and gaps everywhere. This includes the clear parts, which are pretty thick and blurry. The worst thing is the windscreen, which is not only EXTRA thick and EXTRA blurry, it was also not completely molded, with gaps on both sides. I tried to get it clearer through manual polishing, but the streaky blurs are integral – no hope for improvement unless you completely replace the parts! If I ever build a Cessna 337/O-2 again, I will give the Airfix kit a try, it can only be better…

I reduced some of Mirka's weight, I think she looks better now

As part of the required course knowledge pupils need to be able to outline the process involved in taking a square wooden blank and preparing it for turning between centres. These pictures depict that process chronologically.

Stage 1 * Preparation of wooden blank. Cut to size. Sand square. Mark across diagonals. Centre punch the centre point. Use spring dividers to mark circumference. Repeat on other end.

Stage 2 * Plane off corners down to circumference line. This takes cross section from square to octagon. This reduces force on cutting toll in initial prep of blank. Mount between fork [driven] centre and dead [or live ] centre at tailstock end. Apply grease a dead centre end. apply force from tailstock end to force fork into material at driven end. Adjust toolstock height to suit. Check for clearance.

Stage 3 * Roughout using scraper to diameter. Use combination of gouges and skew chisels to add beads and other decorative detailing as required. Ensure spindle speed is appropriate for material and cross section under consideration. Obey all safety instructions.

The radiant Abul Hasan Qutb Shah (r. 1672- 1687), nicknamed Tana Shah the King of Taste, swaggers in his garden sniffing a flower, a shield hoisted aloft to protect him from the sun and magnify his importance. He seems to be an amiable, happy soul, fond of sweet flowers, luscious golden textiles of many types, jewels, and very good food. Tana Shah was a famous poet in Deccani Urdu, the language of the Deccan. He is accused by contemporary Mughal historians (in his enemy Aurangzeb's camp) of debauchery and religious heresy. The grounds for the religious heresy charge might have stemmed from his wearing gold, which from Aurangzeb's orthodox Islamic p[oint of view would have been forbidden.

Aurangzeb beseiged the fort at Golconda for 7 months in 1687 before it fell and Tana Shah was taken prisoner and confined until he died in 1704. Golconda was reduced to a province of the Mughal empire.

Power & Desire, 04/00

Sultan Abul Hasan is seen here, on a mid-morning walk stopping for a moment to take in the fragrance of a flower.

The image conveys several attributes of kingship. Abul Hasans divine status is suggested by a glowing halo. Brighter than the sun from which he is being shielded, the Sultan eclipses all, including the barefoot attendant, dressed in muslin and holding a parasol, who is all but crowded out of the picture. The Sultans presence is enlarged by layer upon layer of golden robes, jewels, and furs. As son-in-law of the reigning Sultan, he had retired from the world to follow the path of Islamic mysticism known as Sufism, when a palace coup propelled him to the throne.

Domains of Wonder

Abu'l Hasan was known to be a man of good taste and a student of a renowned Sufi saint. Instead of the fly-whisk or parasol placed over the head-traditional signifiers of sovereignty or divinity-a decorative shield is held above the sultan. Perhaps this was the sultan's subtle attempt to confer status upon himself without offending his Mughal overlords.

This boat is a 1986 27' S2 sailboat. The price is Now Reduced to $13,000

I purchased this boat in August of 2012. For personal reasons I need to sell it already. I put over $5,000.00 into the boat the first month I got it. S2 Yachts has a great reputation for hand laid and hand crafted boat building. One of the best sailboats ever built. It is one of the best built boats you can buy and that is why I bought it. They built 600-800 of all their other performance models. This is the only cruiser/performance model they ever built and they only built 85 of them, a very rare boat. The company that built this boat is still building boats. You can find them at TiaraYachts.com. This is hull number 52 of the cruising model. This boat is in very, very good condition, perfect for its age. The interior is all solid teak wood and no interior damage at all. Everything on the boat works great. The 20 hp Yanmar starts each and every time, has no smoke and runs great. It sips 1/3 gallon per hour. The boat is set up for extended cruising. No rust on any deck hardware or rigging. 90% of the running rigging is new. The main sail is full battened with no spots or stains and has the original factory logo. This boat will not need anything for years. I have gone thru the entire boat. Just walk on and go to the Bahamas. It is a very solid and sweet sailing boat. I am the third owner and the name has never been changed. I have all the original paper work dating back to when she was delivered to the original owner. I hauled the boat out in Melbourne Florida at Eau Gallie Boat Works (12-3-12) and had the bottom painted (Pettit Ultimate 40 Ablative paint), new zincs, packing box hose replaced. I have receipts. No blisters, no soft spots. The tiller was sanded all the way down and had Pettit Trinadad Sr paint. I was on the way to the Florida Keys. It made the trip perfectly. All controls lead into the 8' long cockpit. With the tiller this boat is super easy to single-hand.

Carsten Mueller from German Consulate

Visits Engro’s Plants & CSR Projects

Karachi, Mar 11, 2016: During a recent visit by Mr. Carsten Mueller, Consul & Deputy Head of Mission, German Consulate was taken on a tour of Engro’s various plants and facilities located in the interior of Sindh. He was accompanied by Mr. Wajid Hussain Junejo, Head of Procurement & Materials Management at Engro and Director of the board of German Pakistan Trade & Investment.

Carsten Mueller was initially taken to the flagship fertilizer business of the group located in Daharki where he had the opportunity to witness the world’s largest single train urea project and 5th largest Ammonia Urea facility across the globe. Following this the Consul & Deputy Head of Mission was taken to the Sahara Welfare Society which runs schools, medical centers and skill development centers for girls of the neighboring areas so as to help better their standards of living and further Engro’s philosophy of deploying inclusive business models for the communities that hosts their plants and facilities.

Engro Foundation’s flagship CSR project at Ghotki “Technical Training Center,” also runs in the same area, where boys from the surrounding villages receive various skills training such as Mechanical, Electrical, Welding, Machining and Chemical trades. The first batch that graduated from the center achieved 100% employment. After his tour of the training center, Mr. Carsten Mueller was taken to Engro’s state-of-the-art power plant located in Qadirpur. The Qadirpur plant is one of country’s first ‘green power plants’ since it uses permeate (flare) gas to produce 217 MW power whilst reducing carbon emissions by decreasing the flare at the gas field.

During his visit Mr. Carsten Mueller stated: “I did not expect the countryside of northern Sindh to be so welcoming. I am extremely surprised, by what Engro in its variety of companies has set up in the region. The working environment is world-class – an aspect I could not have imagined. Corporate Social Responsibility is what creates a world of better living for the people you are dealing with. What Engro Corporation’s team has shown me during this trip, starting from Sahara School to the Women Empowerment Initiative in Sukkur, was tremendously amazing. All of this is only possible because of the personal involvement of the Company’s people.” Mr. Carsten also took the opportunity to thank Engro Corporation for providing him with a better understanding of the Company, the work it does and the Pakistani people.

During his trip Mr. Carsten Mueller also visited Engro Foods Sukkur plant and was given a presentation on Engro Foundation’s WELD (Women Empowerment in Livestock Development) project which trains the local women to earn their livelihood through livestock development. Some of the beneficiaries of the project were presented with iPads by Mr. Carsten Mueller.

The trip concluded with a visit to the “Engro Thalassemia Center” at Sukkur which has now been converted to a general hospital serving need-based patients on a self-sustained basis.

In the end Mr. Carsten thanked Engro and Wajid Hussain Junejo for organizing such a marvelous trip and rated Engro as one of the World Class organizations brightening the name of Pakistan around the globe.

I did...a little more drastically than the sign suggested perhaps.

Filthy rainy weather, man in front brakes sharply at 60mph, i brake sharply to avoid going into back of him and swerve. Car spins out, crosses (fortunately empty) outside lane, mounts verge at which point i turn again to avoid a head on with concrete wall, drivers side of car bounces off said wall (Hello whiplash...) and turns 90 degrees to end up where you see it here.

The insurance company are pricing repairs...I think it might be a write off...we shall see.

It should be noted, that fortunately I wasn't injured and noone else was involved.

This immense fortress castle overlooks a strategic point on the River Maine and was first built in the 9th century by the Counts of Anjou. After becoming part of the “Angevin Empire” of the Plantagenet Kings of England in the early 12th century, it was rebuilt in the early 13th century by Louis IX. It consists of 17 huge towers (18 meters in diameter) connected by an outer wall (3 meters thick) all of which enclose 20,000 square meters. It was once 40 meters (130 feet) high, but - apart from the Tour du Moulin - was reduced in height for the use of artillery pieces. It is owned by the city of Angers and contains the Apocalypse Tapestry, which, itself, was completed in 1382. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teau_d%27Angers , also www.loirevalleyfrance.net/castles/chateau-angers.html

The new building for the St Joseph school has 25 classrooms, two game rooms, which are also used by the BSO and a gymnasium.

Unlike the existing building blocks that are very strict and straight, is a sculptural form to the school chosen by the interlocking of the masses and uithappen glass. The sculptural form ensures that the school, vocational, residential school gymnasium and knitting together.

The wall is formed, after the apartment block is interrupted by the urban square. Then walk through the wall into two layers above the school with school houses. The BSO lifts the wall as it were on the street with an open glass front. The entrance of the school and the gym is set back to the city square.

The site receives a specially designed durable and educational character of the surrounding trees and playground provide a sustainable green environment. Once inside, the children included in nature. In the hall and corridors is "grass" on the floor and the rooms 'wooden'. The gallery, stairs, walkway and the stage of different woods. The pantry and get some teaching spaces a wood print on the wall. Other walls are mostly quiet in white. The wardrobe blocks jump there any contemporary room with a strong accent.

The idea behind the design of the school is to create a sustainable school with good comfort, but a low energy demand. It was also striving to use no fossil fuels to heat the school. The school is heated by electricity. The purchase of green electricity makes the school energy-neutral 'is heated. The school is thus suitable for a flux-cored future. A good indoor climate is important to prevent future changes in the kinds of additional installations. Any change will cost extra material after all. Furthermore, in a later stage often a cheap and energy-inefficient solution considered (eg application of split units (air)).

Heat generation and cooling

The heat generation is done on a sustainable basis through heat pumps. Heat the extract heat from the source. There is no heating of the school through boilers. The source will consist of an 'open source' system where groundwater is pumped through a heat exchanger. If heat pumps are used for a primary school usually have a `vertical ground heat exchanger, which consists of about 50 snakes to be inserted deep into the ground (" closed system "). The heat takes place by means of a comfortable floor heating.

Outside the heating season with the source system can be cooled by the building heating and cooling floor use. Because the source without the use of a cooling unit cools the floor is an energy-efficient cooling method. The cooling provides a better indoor than usual for primary schools.

Ventilation

The building is ventilated by mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and exhaust air. This is a central air unit in the building.The air is blown draft-free, good ventilation is ensured, which is not dependent on whether or not to open windows and grids by a teacher.

Lighting

The rooms are illuminated by means of HF luminaires with daylight control. The toilets are lit by PL fixtures, switches switched by presence.

Durable construction measures / concepts

Are essentially the sustainable aspects of the installations. However there from architecture and engineering sustainable profits.The most evident is the vegetation. This roof has a strong heat accumulating capacity, which regulates the heat slightly. It also has an excellent roof water buffer effect and a positive effect on air quality. Reducing pollen in the immediate area is a pleasant side effect. Besides the vegetation has taken extra care to the comfort and the perception of the building. Good ventilation is clear, and the optimum use of daylight.

The energy burden in the future to minimize the building is designed with an EPC of 0.9, which is a reduction in the current building code requirements by 32%. In the period that the school is in use, it will be next energy costs, the costs of cleaning and maintenance also play an important role. The design and detailing have been taken into account, for example by using good materials to clean, easy to reach corners and maintenance facilities.

December 15 marked the conclusion of a four-month gang and violence reduction initiative called Operation Triple Beam in San Antonio.

Since September 18, the U.S. Marshals Service Lone Star Fugitive Task Force, San Antonio Police Department, Bexar County Sheriff’s Office and Texas Department of Public Safety have removed 70 guns from San Antonio streets, arrested 215 people, seized $233,373 during drug related arrests and taken out of circulation a variety of illegal drugs with a street value of $176,153. The agencies involved also conducted 51 sex offender compliance checks to ensure offenders were following court mandated restrictions.

Led by the U.S. Marshals Service Gang Enforcement Unit, Operation Triple Beam focuses multiple agencies on targeted areas to reduce gang violence and dismantle gang infrastructures. U.S. Marshals fugitive task forces have the unique ability to bring multiple agencies with a wide variety of jurisdictions to bear, and the Gang Enforcement Unit is able to assist with funding the additional hours needed to conduct the focused warrant operations and search warrants.
