As part of the Atmosphere to Electrons initiative, the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) developed a 3-year collaborative research plan to develop and field test wind turbine controls. New control systems, such as the advanced feedforward control system that incorporates lidar and is currently under development at NREL, will help researchers improve simulations and increase the understanding of the physics impacting wind plant performance. The plan developed by the two laboratories identified collaborative field testing of wind plant controls at SNL's Scaled Wind Farm Technology (SWiFT) Facility.
Preface:
This is a kind of prelude for things to come soon, for better understanding of the kits' origin, intention and what I will make of them.
I procured these kits soon after their release, 2010 or so, dircetly from Japan, with the vague plan to use them in mecha dioramas, because. they offer some interesting building options like the armored excavator. Any they were quite cheap at the time of their release: just 1.200 yen, which is today less than EUR 7,-/USD 8 (but see below), and they were quite affordable - then.
However, when they arrived I was greatly disappointed because each of the kits is just a [i]single [/i]vehicle, and you get parts to just create [i]one [/i]of the types shown on the box - more or less a universal chassis with add-ons.
Then, both kits/sets are basically the same, but it's not obvious or what you'd expect: the chassis only differs through 8x8 wheels or tracks - with the benefit, that all "toppings" might be fully interchangeable, though.
Then, the kits are VERY toylike, effectively snap-fit models with very rough details, even with poor solutions.
And, worst of all: they are a kind of box-scale. I should have been warned because scale information is lacking on the boxes. I had naively expected a 1:72 scale, so that combining them with usual mecha kits in popular scales (that's how the kits were explicitly advertised!) would be easy and actually the idea behind their design and marketing. It's hard to tell what scale these things [i]actually [/i]are, esp. when the parts are still bagged and on their sprues, [i]somewhere [/i]between 1:72 and 1:48...
No, instead you get half-baked and IMHO poor toy stuff, "Made in China". So, highly disappointed, I put them on the large "shelf of doom" to collect dust, for years, until I recently remembered them and the Bandai Patlabor kits' odd if not unique 1:60 scale. Maybe [u]that [/u]could be a match and finally a motivation to build them?
I also considered selling them, because today these early MSG kits go for insane prices, esp. when you see what you get: EUR 75,- for NIB/mint kits is common (10 times what they were issued for. WTF?!?), and they even do not appear to be actually rare?!? But, no, I eventually followed my inspiration and will build (and improve!) them into something that fits into the Patlabor universe...
The (first) kit and its assembly.
Kit set #1 was easily destined to become a TMPD vehicle in the colors/markings of SV2/2nd Division's use, the police unit around which the original Patlabor TV series was centered. The optional missile launcher parts ended up in the donor bank.
Work started straightforward with the hull - being a snap-fit fit assemby was basically quick., but I enhanced things with glue and some PSR to hide the most obvious seams. Since the parts come with lots of holes on the surface to attach things or other superstructures, I hid them under styrene plates, too.
Everything is quite chunky and rather robust than "model-like", and the IMHO biggest weakness of the MSG #1 kit are the wheels. They are molded single pieces, with soft and toylike details, very large, and - worst - hollow, which is well visible from certain angles. Anything else was acceptable, with the Bandai Parlabor kits as "quality benchmark", but the wheels required an upgrade.
That led to a replacement/donor parts safari, and I ended up first with several 1:72 8x8 kits, but was eventually pleased to stumble upon resin aftermarket sets for various armored vehicles from OKB Grigorov from Bulgaria. They do excellent stuff, with seamless cast and great detail, and I eventually went for a street tyre set for Revell's 1:72 Luchs 8x8 scout tank.
These wheels were slightly smaller in diamater and width than the OOB parts, but that was a deliberate choice to slightly lower the vehicle and make more realistic room in the wheel arches.
That, however, called for a scratched suspension to connect the totally different wheels with the OOB attachment points. After some experiments I went for a rather simple solution: styrene tube spacers, outfitted with matching adapters on the wheels' back side, and supplemented with rough shock absorbers on the hull to stabilize things further, All this was left rather rough, because the solid wheels would later hide most of the effort, and anything would disappear in/under black paint.
Wings still up a little, but starting to accept our presence as non-threatening! Eventually she settled down, having made her position abundantly clear. 😀

Signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the Swedish Ministry of Environment and the Chinese Ministry of Water Resources.
Photo: Peter Tvärberg, SIWI.
The Memorandum of Understanding renews and expands collaboration on global scientific and technological solutions over the next five years. The extended agreement reaffirms both agencies’ commitment to jointly address critical development and humanitarian challenges affecting the United States and developing countries through the generation and use of scientific research, innovations, and technologies and advances further interagency collaboration under the President’s Emergency Plan for Adaptation and Resilience (PREPARE). Specifically, the partnership will draw on NASA's Earth science research and space technology development to help inform USAID’s global programming.
It is nearly ten years since I started the Kent church project, and in that time have visited 292 churches, give or take, and seen and photographed inside most of them. And in that time, I have gone from knowing nothing about churches to having a basic understanding, meaning I need to revisit those I visited early on to record the features I missed.
Lenham is a large market village, and seems to be in rude health, as finding a parking space on a weekday morning was difficult, but it was nearing lunchtime, and the village is blessed with two fine pubs on the village square, and also has a new fish restaurant which was already producing fine aromas.
St Mary stands a little of the square, its tower dominating the view.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A village centre setting where the church is approached from the north. This side shows ragstone and flint construction. Although the building contains work of earlier periods it is on the whole a fourteenth-century structure. The memorable feature is the size of the internal door which fills the tower arch - although it is not as old as it at first appears. On the south wall of the nave is a faded mural of St Michael. The pulpit is Elizabethan with a slightly later tester that carries the date 1622. Next to the pulpit is a good window in the style of Kempe, signed in the inscription with the `greyhound` symbol of H.W. Bryans who set up his own studio in competition. The other glass is mid-nineteenth century and of poor quality. The lectern, of wood, with nicely carved feet, may be as early as the fourteenth century, and has a crude and rural feel about it. The medieval stalls, which are returned along the west side of the chancel arch, are much restored. On the north wall of the chancel is an extremely strange monument which shows a fourteenth-century priest lying obliquely in two halves! The Royal Arms over the north door date from the reign of Queen Anne.

LENHAM.
NORTHWARD from Boughton Malherb, close at the foot of the chalk-hills, lies Lenham, written in the book of Domesday, Lerham and Lertham, no doubt corruptly for Leanham, by which name it is called in most of the antient charters and deeds, as well before as since that time. It takes its name from the stream which rises in it, and ham, which signifies a town or village.
The western part of this parish is in the lath of Aylesford, hundred of Eyhorne, and the western division of this county, that is all of it which lies westward of a line drawn from the centre of Chilston-house, northward to the east end of the church, and thence to Warren-street, on the summit of the chalk hills.
The residue of it, including that part of it called East Lenham, is in the lath of Shipway, and hundred of Calehill, and the eastern division of the county.
THE PARISH of Lenham is of large extent, being upwards of five miles in length from east to west, and four in breadth from north to south, where it encompasses the whole width of the valley from the chalk to the quarry hills. However healthy it may be it is far from being a pleasant situation, owing to its untoward soil, which towards the south and west is mostly a deep sand; near the foot of the chalk hills a cludgy chalk mixed with flints, the whole a poor unfertile country, the fields of which are in general large, having but few trees round them, and those of a stunted unthriving aspect; above these hills northward is Downe-court and Warren-street, beyond which the parish extends more than a mile, as far as Ashden and Syndal, in the valley between Hollingborne and Doddington, a poor country and a flinty barren soil.
The town of Lenham stands in the valley between the quarry and chalk hills, which is here about two miles wide, rather nearer the latter, in a damp and moist situation, owing to the springs which rise near it, of which further mention will be made hereafter. It is rather a dull and unfrequented place, and of but little traffic, in short I cannot give a better description of it than in the words of the inhabitants themselves, who, on travellers passing through it, and enquiring if it is Lenham, in general make answer, "Ah, Sir, poor Lenham."
The church stands at the south end of it, and being westward of the line which separates the two divisions of the county, the town itself, as well as the parish, is esteemed to belong to West Kent, and all the parish business is transacted at the Maidstone sessions accordingly; the market, which was granted to the abbot of St. Augustine's, as has been mentioned before, to be held within his manor here, has been discontinued many years, but in 1757 there was an attempt made to revive it for the buying and selling of corn, and other such commodities, and it was ordered by the lord of the manor to be held on a Friday weekly, but I am informed it has been but little resorted to. The fair, which has been mentioned as having been granted likewise to the abbot, is now held yearly by the alteration of the stile on June 6, for horses and cattle, and there is another fair held on October 23, for the like purpose. A market is likewise held at Sandway, in this parish, for bullocks, upon every Tuesday after Allhallows-day, Nov. I, until Christmas.
Near the foot of the chalk hills lie the three estates of Shelve, on the opposite or southern part of the parish, where the soil is mostly a barren sand, there are several small heaths or fostalls; through this part of the parish the high road from Ashford runs over Lenham, formerly called Royton heath, and by Chilston park pales and Sandway, over Bigon-heath, towards Leeds castle and Maidstone; southward of this heath the parish extends westward, taking within its bounds the estate of Ham, the house of which has been rebuilt in a handsome manner within these few years, and thence southward to Runham-place, Platt-heath, and Leverton-street, at the boundary of it, near the quarry hills, where it joins to Bought on Malherb.
The western and south-east parts of this parish are watered by two several streams, for at the eastern extremity of the town of Lenham, at Streetwell, there rises a spring, which is accounted the head of the river Stour, which flowing from thence southward by Royton-chapel, at about a mile distance from its rise, receives into its stream two other small ones from the north-west, which rise in the grounds at Chilston, at a small distance from each other, and then flowing in one stream through the hamlet of Water-street south-eastward, it turns a mill in its way to Little Chart, and so goes on in its way to Ashford and Canterbury.
A head of one of the branches of the river Medway likewise rises at Ewell, adjoining to Bigon-heath, in the western part of this parish, whence it is frequently called the river Len; from hence this stream directs its course first westward, then northward by Runham, and so on to Holme mill in Harrietsham, in its way towards Leeds-castle and the main river at Maidstone.
LENHAM has been supposed by several of our learned antiquaries, among whom are Camden, Lambarde, and Gale, to have been the Roman station, mentioned in the 2d iler of Antonine, by the name of Durolevum, corruptly, as they say, for Durolenum, and the latter, in the British language, signifying the water Lenum, induced them, together with the situation, to conjecture this place to have been that station.
And Camden is further confirmed in this opinion, from this place being situated on a circular way of the Romans, which formerly, as Higden of Chester affirms, went from Dover through the middle of Kent. (fn. 1)
The aqua Lena, or the spring at Streetwell here, so, called perhaps from the strata of the Romans, which led hither, is thought to have been meant by the water Lenum, and that this, might give name to this station; and indeed Roman remains have been from time to time discovered from Keston, by Comb Bank, Stone-street, Oldberry camp, Ofham, Barming, Maidstone, Boxley, &c. in a continued and almost strait line, to within a few miles of this place and Charing.
¶But there having never been any Roman antiquities found at Lenham, induced Mr. Somner and others to look elsewhere for this station. That learned antiquarian, as well as Mr. Burton and Dr. Thorpe, have fixed it at or near Newington, in the great road from Rochester to Canterbury, near which great quantities of urns, and other relics of Roman antiquity, have been dug up.
Understanding Sunday: Pentacon 29mm / 2.8 MC Auto (M42)
PENTACON auto MC 29mm f/2.8
Pentacon 29/2.8 comes in a straight line from the Meyer Optik Görlitz Orestegon 29mm f/2.8. Produced in the years 1970/1991. During this period changed several times. Initially, a copy of the version of Meyer Orestegon 29mm f/2.8, then the electric version, and in the end version of the MC - There are also non-electric versions of the MC. It is a wide-angle lens with a very good f/2.8. Version of what I test is one of the last what was produced. Great multilayer coatings MC. The quality of workmanship as good as the old lenses Meyer. The lens has only 6 aperture blades. In a digital camera to take pictures with this lens requires a lot of attention already. Pictures are not sharp - just above f/11 we can talk longer with acceptable results. All the magic of color lenses Meyer here almost disappeared. You have to make an effort for it to have a picture in itself is a beautiful thing.

In the name 'Touka-Hime'
桃花 (Touka) can mean 'peach blossom' in Japanese. It comes from 桃 (momo) meaning peach and 花 (hana) meaning flower. However it can also mean 刀下 (Touka) which is 'under the sword' and (at least from my understanding) refers to dying by someone's blade.
姫 (hime) as most people who watch anime know means 'princess'. However it can also be written as 悲鳴 (himei) which means to 'scream' or 'cry out'.
So, her name can either read as 'peach blossom princess' or roughly translate as 'scream of death under the blade' both of which are fairly appropriate.
Japanese Culture Lesson: The Smell of a Ripe Peach -
In Japanese culture the peach, because of how it looks is often associated very closely with sex. It is often referred to as looking like a woman's behind (buttocks) or a pair of breasts pressed together. Do with that knowledge what you wish but remember, she is a sword.
Chinese Culture Lesson: Cut a branch -
The peach in chinese culture has great significance. Ancient chinese people believed it to be a plant of great vitality and virility. Staves made of peach wood were given to imperial sorcerers to repel 'evil spirits' and at the new year branches were cut and placed near the entrance to houses to ward off foul spirits from entering homes and protect against evil.
Some background history if you care -
Momo-Hime or 'Touka' as she was later referred to as is a Japanese blade crafted by a Chinese refugee a long long time ago. During the forging of the weapon, the man remembered his two daughters who did not survive the journey to Japan. The blade became infused with the essence of these memories taking on a life of its own and a guardian spirit of the blade was born. The spirit of the blade can choose who may draw it from the sheath.
.: Touka-Hime's Rules & Things Momo wants her wielder to keep in mind :.
1. If one is deemed unworthy of wielding Momo, she will not be come from her scabbard.
2. Once drawn, Touka-Hime will not allow herself to be returned to the sheath until she has 'fulfilled her purpose'.
3. If Momo is separated from her master, she will not cut anything for any other wielder.
Things to keep in mind:
Touka-hime/Momo is 'just a sword', she was forged during the time of Samurai and Bushido and she follows many of the tenants of Bushido somewhat religiously. That is to say, she will (attempt to) kill her wielder if she believes they have 'dishonoured themselves'.
Some things to never do with Momo -
- A blade is not to be raised against an unarmed opponent. Doing so is a disgrace.
- A blade is not to be raised against the sickly or elderly. Doing so will bring dishonour.
- A blade is not to be raised against an opponent who has already conceded defeat. Do not disgrace the opponent's courage to admit superior skill in the face of utter annihilation.
- Never attempt to sheath a blade while the conflict remains unresolved. Wavering resolve does not behove a warrior.
Some things to do with Momo -
- Refrain from drawing blade recklessly or because of anger. When a blade is drawn, it signifies the resolve to end life or die in an attempt to do so.
- Understand self and sword. Meditation with the blade to achieve 'focus' sharpens the mind and the connection to the blade. Do not underestimate the latent power hidden within the blade that can only come through meditation.
Powers and Abilities
Aphrodisiac - Closely tied to virility and vitality, Momo-Hime can release a peach-flavoured scent into the air which causes those who inhale the scent of the sweet nectar to become more and more aroused. The longer a person is exposed to this ability, the more enthralled they become until their mind breaks and they simply must copulate with the wielder of the blade.
Blade of Evil's Bane - Touka-Hime is able to slice through demonic barriers, illusions and spells with the greatest of ease. If an entity has evil or harmful intentions towards her wielder, Touka-Hime will cut through their armour, scale and flesh with increased ferocity. Be wary when fighting against one who wields Touka-Hime's power.

My understanding is that sampans are small flat bottomed wooden boats used in Asia for transportation or for fishing near the coast or on rivers, and they don't all look like the one seen here. In Aberdeen, the sampans are typically fitted with old tires all around to protect them from being damaged in collisions. Sampans don't all have motors – most are propelled wit oars, sail or poles – but the ones we saw in Aberdeen all seemed to be motorised.
Artificial intelligence versus natural intelligence – what are the differences and what do they have in common? How do machines “think,” how do they learn, and what distinguishes us humans from machines? Artificial intelligence in all its complexity is a central focus of the new Ars Electronica Center; after all, this technology is setting off a revolution that will affect our lives in ways that cannot be overestimated. Our goal with the exhibition “Understanding Artificial Intelligence” is to make our visitors “AI savvy” and give them all a basic idea of what artificial intelligence is, how it is already being applied, and what it can already do. The exhibition shows how neural networks are constructed and even offers visitors an opportunity to train them at a number of interactive stations.
