The Concrete Heritage Museum is losing a long term storage room as the owners of the building would like to renovate it for a future purpose. Much of what we have in there has no real place in our museum so we would like to dispose of it. Offering it to other museums is part of the process, so we hope that some of it will find a home in nearby community museums. Part of it is shown in these pictures today and more will be added later.
For all the animal lovers here is something For our fussy friends. It is a leather and stainless steel chain maille collar.
I present you with my purse collection. I used bits and pieces from previous projects and used them up to make these cute (at least in my opinion) key chains.
I want to gift them to my friends and I hope they will like them.
More of these purse are already requested so I will be preparing a new collection for January 2017.

From the era when chains came packaged in steel boxes, this great Brampton box still has the price on it.
My bicycle has not been ridden in years. It is the only chain that I have, owning no jewerly, so here it is in all of its glory.
The image is about 7.5 cm (3 inches) on the long edge.
Polymer Clay Necklace, a funny but eye catching design, so nice to wear. Until now I did not close the chain links, but I am not sure if they won't open in the course of time????
I was thrilled to find some colour outside as it was quite a gloomy day. Eventually it began to snow big, fluffy snowflakes (you know, the kind that makes everyone feel all cozy inside). Hot chocolate followed. :)
Cold Chain handler Rajesh Kumar Koli takes vaccines from a Laboratory Chest Freezer at the cold storage facility in Public Health Centre in Kolaras block, district Shivpuri in Madhya Pradesh. Despite being one of the most mineral rich states in India, with vast hoards of diamonds, Madhya Pradesh is one of the poorest with 40% of its population living in poverty. The state also has some of the worst development statistics in India. Of every 100,000 live births in Madhya Pradesh - 310 mothers will die, while 59 new-borns will die for every 1000 live births - one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country, and compares starkly with Kerala for example where 14 infants will die out of 1000 live births. This number jumps to 63 newborn deaths for every 1000 live births in rural areas. UNICEF India/ 2013/ Manpreet Romana..

During the 19th century the Black Country, in particular the Cradley Heath area, became the centre for chain making in Britain. Heavy to medium chains were produced by men in factories, however the smaller chains (often known as 'hand-hammered' or 'country-work' chains) were often hand-worked by women or children in small cramped forges in outbuildings next to the home. The work was hot, physically demanding and poorly paid. Like other homeworking, chainmaking was an example of a "sweated" trade, where workers (often women) were paid a pittance to produce cheap goods at home.
In Japan there is a belief that anyone who folds 1000 origami cranes will be granted a wish by the gods. Here in the Peace Park in Nagasaki they are hung up to wish for world peace. They are usually made in 25 chains of 40 cranes each.
One thousand paper cranes are called senbazuru in Japanese, and you can buy 1000 sheets of origami paper in a range of shades, usually 7.5cm square, in order to make the 1000 origami cranes.
The Chain Bridge ( officially the Széchenyi Chain Bridge) was the first permanent stone-bridge connecting Pest and Buda, and only the second permanent crossing on the whole length of the river Danube. At the time of its construction, it had the second-largest span in the world of any suspension bridge. It was designed by the English engineer William Tierney Clark who had previously used the same design on a smaller but identical bridge crossing the River Thames at Marlow.

I wanted to try building with Bionicle. I found most of the elements at two different Bricks and Minifigs in the Denver area.
Included is the Blacktron Dragon Obscurtronum , which was the inspiration for this build.
This new tensioner is positioned much closer to the final drive sprocket.
This will minimise the risk of twigs and sticks getting 'up an' under' and derailling the chain. That's the kind of thing that happens when there is no well-ridden path ~ just a load of stuff blown out of the trees in the last storm.
The next re-design of the drop-outs will place the tensioner nearer still.

Here's an example of how DOF can be manipulated: (1) the focal length of the lens (not an issue here, because it was only a standard lens); (2) the aperture (yes, shot wide open at f/2); and (3) the distance to the subject (yes, shot at the minimum focusing distance). As a result, the DOF is very narrow.
