Grand Hôtel-Dieu Lyon. The restoration of the Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon turning it into a hotel.
Seen from Quai Jules Courmont, Lyon.
A quick look before heading to Bellecour to get a subway train towards the Hôtel de Ville (and visit the Musee des Beaux-Arts de Lyon).
Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon - undergoing restoration and will be the Grand Hotel-Dieu.
Hôtel-Dieu de Lyon was a hospital of historical significance situated on the west bank of the Rhone river, on the "Presque-isle" (the Peninsula between the Saône and Rhone rivers which run through the city center). It has been out of use since 2010.
This zone is served by the metro lines A and D
First erected in medieval times, the building originally served as the "Confrérie des frères pontifes" (est. 1184), a pontifical meeting-place and refuge for both traveling and local members of the clergy. However, when the first doctor Maître Martin Conras was hired in 1454, 'Hôtel-Dieu' became a fully functional hospital, one of the most important in France. As Lyon was a city known for its trade and seasonal fairs, many of the early patients were weary travelers of foreign descent.
In 1532, 'Hôtel-Dieu' appointed former Franciscan/Benedictine monk-turned-doctor and great Humanist François Rabelais, who would write his Gargantua and Pantagruel during his tenure here. Renaissance poet Louise Labé lived just beyond the western limits of the building.
Massive expansion projects in the 17th century by Ducellet (under Louis XIII and Richelieu) and in the 18th century by Soufflot (under Louis XIV and Colbert) replaced the original building with the grandiose wings and courts we know today. In fact, at its greatest point, the hospital extended from its present position beyond Bellecour to engulf the area now occupied by the central post office.
'Hôtel-Dieu' houses the "Musée des Hospices Civils" a permanent exhibit tracing the history and practice of medicine from the Middle Ages to modern time and includes a fine collection of apothecary vases amongst other objects.
In May 2015, it was announced that the building, which ceased to function as a hospital in 2010, will be converted to a luxury hotel, the InterContinental Lyon, opening in 2018.

The Beluga is a modified Airbus A300-608ST aircraft, designed to carry the most bulky parts of aircraft constructed from sections made in different countries. The wings for Airbus airliners are all made at the Airbus factory in Broughton/Hawarden, near Chester but actually in North Wales, and transported for assembly to Toulouse or Hamburg. This is Beluga number 5 of 5 constructed, and these have recently been joined by the Beluga XL, a modified Airbus A330 capable of carrying about 30% more than the first series of Beluga Super Transporter aircraft. The light was beginning to fade, and my lens struggled….
These are wood turnings I picked up at an Opportunity Shop in Mount Gambier South Australia. Turned by a chap called R. Blackall probably around 1998 to 2000.
The vision of HSB Turning Torso is based on a sculpture called Twisting Torso. In 1999 HSB Malmö’s former Managing Director Johnny Örbäck saw the sculpture in a brochure which presented Santiago Calatrava in connection with his contribution to the architectural competition for the Öresund Bridge.
It was on this occasion that Johnny Örbäck got the idea to build HSB Turning Torso. Shortly thereafter he travelled to Zurich to meet with Santiago Calatrava and ask him to design a residential building based on the idea of a structure of twisting cubes.
HSB Turning Torso is an amazing combination of sculpture and building. It is also one of the few landmarks in the world which becomes part of everyday life with its ten floors of offices, 147 apartments and meeting facilities on the two top floors.
Santiago Calatrava
The architect behind HSB Turning Torso is Santiago Calatrava. The Spaniard is one of the most fascinating architects of our time and is responsible for a number of fascinating projects.
Calatrava is a trained sculptor, architect and engineer and is among other things responsible for projects such as the Olympic Sports Complex in Athens and the World Trade Center Transportation Hub which is being built in connection with Ground Zero. He has also created several bridges, railway stations and air traffic control towers.

On the 16th September 2018 Buckfasleigh based ploughing pair Robbie and Blaze are seen at work at the Humber Country Fayre, Vintage Rally and Ploughing Extravaganza, Devon.
Immediately to the right of the entrance door is the bakery, or at least its sales portion. (Because space is limited in the main part of the store, most of the prep space for the service departments is located downstairs. I imagine this must be a nightmare for the employees...) It's interesting seeing these departments with windows to the street right beyond the cases.
Doing a bit of screw-threading. Making part of the tool kit which took up the bulk of the first years training. I would hazard a guess that this is for part of the screw-jack set.

In Nyalugano, South Kivu province, members of 13,800 households across 39 villages worked for a year to build 152 km of drainage canals on 914 hectares of marsh owned by their mwame, or local chief, turning it into arable land.
Community members have elected a management committee to ensure the rehabilitation of the land is sustained. Each household gets a 25m x 20m plot to grow food in return for helping maintain the canals they built to drain the land. Overseen by the management committee, community farmers are required to keep canals clean and free of silt, cut the grass around canals and make sure gardens are well-tended. Commonly grown crops include maize, beans, soya, and sorghum.

Woodturning is a form of woodworking that is used to create wooden objects on a lathe. Woodturning differs from most other forms of woodworking in that the wood is moving while a stationary tool is used to cut and shape it. Many intricate shapes and designs can be made by turning wood. There are two distinct methods of turning wood: spindle turning and faceplate turning. In spindle turning, the wood is fixed between 2 points. The spur center digs in to the wood and is powered by a motor (wikipedia).

Triangle tree pillow
I had an 18" pillow back with a zipper already made that I didnt use for the PTS so this was a perfect use for that. She did all of the piecing I did the top stitching.

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.

Gion Matsuri, 17 July
(1st float) Naginataboko 長刀鉾
The bigger floats weigh up to 12 tons (24k pounds). They have to turn 90° at parts of the parade. For the turning, craftsmen only employed for the turning use bamboo and water. If everything goes well, a float will be turned 90° in 2 steps, sometimes it also takes 3, 4 or 5 steps.
Anyway, this part is one of the most interesting to see in the Gion Matsuri.
