Hi
Just finished a simple cabled to down sweater made from Venezia by cascade yarns. Going to start the inspira cowl in greys that would go great with it.
C u soon

Main public section of Cable Beach. Vehicle 1BLO 245 is in the wrong place - parked immediately below the grassed viewing area. The steps in the background are the southern steps down from near Zanders. As I was getting organised to take the photo the Broome Shire Ranger drove up and enquired was it my vehicle, to which of course the answer was no.
For years this was the only vehicle I had seen illegally parked. From 2017 it has become much more common, even normal. On July 30, 2018 there were 21 vehicles illegally parked at Cable Beach around sunset time. G1X3678
The Ngong Ping 360 is a tourism project on Lantau Island in Hong Kong. The cable car serves to connect Tung Chung, on the north coast of Lantau and itself linked to central Hong Kong by the Tung Chung rail line, with the Ngong Ping area in the hills above. This is home to the Po Lin Monastery and the Tian Tan Buddha
Frosty cables and floats warn boaters from getting to close to the 1st Street dam in downtown Des Moines, Iowa
Step 3: connect an IDE cable to the circuit-board's pins. The white-coloured side of the cable should be plugged into pin 1, usually closest to the power connector. Step 4 »

Introduction of ADSS Fiber Optical Cable
ADSS cable, All-dielectric Self-supporting Optical Cable (also known as All-dielectric self-supporting fiber optic cable). All-dielectric fiber optic cable is made of all-dielectric materials. Self-supporting means that the reinforcing member of the optical cable itself can withstand its own weight and external load. Because of its self-supporting , its mechanical strength is very important.
The use of all-dielectric materials is due to the fact that the cable is in a high-voltage, high-energy environment and must withstand the effects of high voltage. Since it is used overhead on the power pole tower, it must have a matching pendant to fix the cable to the tower. That is, the ADSS cable has three key technologies: the mechanical design of the cable, the determination of the suspension point, and the selection and installation of the matching hardware.
The mechanical properties of ADSS fiber optic cable are mainly reflected in the maximum operating tension, average running tension and ultimate tensile strength of the cable. The national standard for ordinary optical cables specifies the mechanical strength that optical cables with different modes of use (such as overhead, pipelines, direct burial, etc.) should have. The ADSS cable is a self-supporting overhead cable, so it must withstand the long-term effects of its own gravity and must withstand the baptism of the natural environment. If the mechanical performance of the ADSS cable is not designed properly and is not compatible with the local weather, the cable will have a safety hazard and the life will be compromised. Therefore, each ADSS cable project must be designed with professional software according to the natural environment and span of the cable routing to ensure that the cable has sufficient mechanical strength. When the transmission line is already equipped with a ground wire and the remaining life is still quite long, it is necessary to build the optical cable system with low installation cost as soon as possible, and avoid the power outage operation, etc., the ADSS cable has great advantages.
Ngong Ping Cable Car is a 25 minute, 5.7km bi-cable ropeway beginning at Tung Chung, crossing Tung Chung Bay to reach the angle station on Airport Island and turning about 60 degrees in the air towards North Lantau. Visitors will enjoy some of the best views: vistas of the South China Sea, the rolling grassland slopes of North Lantau Country Park, a panorama of Hong Kong International Airport, view of the mountainous terrain of Lantau Island, Tian Tan Buddha (Big Buddha) and the 360-degree view of the Ngong Ping Plateau.
The Ngoong Ping Cable Car is how most people get to Po Lin Monastery and Big Buddha. At the end of the ride is Ngong Ping Village, built as a receiving point for the cable cars. It is not an authentic village, but an outdoor shopping area especially for tourists who come to Lantau Island to see the Big Buddha and the Po Lin Monastery.
The other way to get to the top is the Ngong Ping Trail connecting Tung Chung and Ngong Ping. The trail is used as the access for maintenance and rescue, with much of it directly under the path of the cable cars. After visiting Tian Tan Buddha and Po Lin Monastery some visitors like to do the 3-hour hike downhill towards Tung Chung.
Looks to be an old, wood framed, cable drilling rig.
Also known as ballistic well drilling and sometimes called "spudders", these rigs raise and drop a drill string with a heavy carbide tipped drilling bit that chisels through the rock by finely pulverizing the subsurface materials. The drill string is composed of the upper drill rods, a set of "jars" (inter-locking "sliders" that help transmit additional energy to the drill bit and assist in removing the bit if it is stuck) and the drill bit. During the drilling process, the drill string is periodically removed from the borehole and a bailer is lowered to collect the drill cuttings (rock fragments, soil, etc.). The bailer is a bucket-like tool with a trapdoor in the base. If the borehole is dry, water is added so that the drill cuttings will flow into the bailer. When lifted, the trapdoor closes and the cuttings are then raised and removed. Since the drill string must be raised and lowered to advance the boring, the casing (larger diameter outer piping) is typically used to hold back upper soil materials and stabilize the borehole.

I whipped together a new stereo wire for my car / iphone setup. It is
just some thrift store cat-3 cable and two 1/8" gold plated adapters.
Network cables make stereo speaker wire as well. I've been using cat-5
on my speakers for 8 years now.
A note on fancy stereo cables. Gold is not as good a conductor as
silver or copper. Gold plating is just used because the other popular
conductors oxidize easily.
Erasmus Bridge (Dutch: Erasmusbrug) is a cable-stayed bridge across the Nieuwe Maas, linking the northern and southern regions of Rotterdam, Netherlands.
The Erasmus Bridge was designed by Ben van Berkel and completed in 1996. The 802-metre-long (2,631 ft) bridge has a 139-metre-high (456 ft) asymmetrical pylon, earning the bridge its nickname of "The Swan".
The southern span of the bridge has an 89-metre-long (292 ft) bascule bridge for ships that cannot pass under the bridge. The bascule bridge is the largest and heaviest in West Europe and has the largest panel of its type in the world.
After costing more than 163 million euros to construct, the bridge was officially opened by Queen Beatrix on September 6, 1996.[1] Shortly after the bridge opened to traffic in October 1996, it was discovered the bridge would swing under particularly strong wind conditions. To reduce the trembling, stronger shock dampers were installed.
The bridge featured in the 1998 Jackie Chan film Who Am I?.
In 2005, several planes flew underneath the bridge as part of the "Red Bull Air Race".
In 2005, the bridge served as the backdrop for a performance by DJ Tiësto titled "Tiësto @ The Bridge, Rotterdam". The performance featured fire-fighting ships spraying jets of water into the air in front of the bridge, a fireworks barge launching fireworks beside the bridge, and multi coloured spot/search lights attached to the bridge itself.
The bridge was crossed during the prologue and the opening stage of the 2010 Tour de France.
In late June 2013 a 43 year old British man on a ageing yellow Brompton rode over it, and back again.
Cable Beach, Broome, Western Australia. They came along at the right time - fortunate to be there. I didnt get to ride one - was content to get the photo.
