Within the radioisotope thermoelectric generator, iridium alloy clad vent sets — virtually indestructible metal cups — encapsulate Pu-238. Iridium, among the platinum-group metals on the periodic table, is extremely durable and can withstand temperatures with a melting point of more than 4,000 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the 1970s, Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientists have custom designed the alloy cladding for space travel to ensure the fuel within would remain contained even during anomalous events.

Cytoarchitectonic organisation of the habenulae in teleosts.(A) Drawings of adult male individuals belonging to different teleost species, placed in the context of a cladogram of the teleost lineage according to Nelson [28]. (B) Schematic representation of a teleost brain (e.g. D rerio), showing the location and orientation of histological sections shown in C–I. (C–I) Photomicrographs of cresyl-violet stained 10 µm-thick coronal sections taken at a midpoint between rostral and caudal ends of the Hb as shown in B. Each panel corresponds to a single species, as indicated in the letter code of the left diagram. C′ is a magnification of the square region depicted in C. Dorsal is to the top, and left is to the left. Arrowheads point to the subhabenular sulcus. Asterisks indicate the position of the dorsal-most neuropil region of the dorsal habenulae that is surrounded by a shell of cell bodies in some species. Abbreviations: A (anterior), D (dorsal), dHb (dorsal Hb), L (left), P (posterior), R (right), TeO (Optic Tectum), V (ventral), vHb (ventral Hb). Scale bars: 50 µm.
Snow clad forest.
The heavy snow makes the smaller trees bend down in supplication - please, no more snow.

Asbestos cement clad bungalow, this building was basically a wooden frame covered in asbestos cement sheeting.
The walls both internal and external, ceilings and cavity insulation (asbestos softboard) were asbestos cement sheeting.
The roof tiles were also asbestos!
A truly delicious confection, with similar partition wall, but extraordinarily and in complete contrast with quite a well made, banded front wall from period bricks. The cogwheel or circular saw motifs on the walls echo perhaps some communist industrial logo. The smart new door also harmonised with the rounded romanesque archway of the `1880s
Bangkok's most unmissable attraction is of course the Grand Palace, and most specifically the temple complex of Wat Phra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha), famed for it's riot of coloured and gilded ornament, paintings and sculptures; quite simply, so visually stunning there is nothing quite like it anywhere else!
The Palace and Temple complex were begun in 1782, the year the capital was moved to Bangkok, and parts of the palace buildings betray 18th century European influence combined with traditional Thai style, such as the breathtaking gilt spires on the roof. Most of the interiors of the Palace itself are off limits to visitors since, although no longer the main residence of the Thai monarchy, it is frequently used for state functions and ceremonies.
The Wat Phra Kaew complex however is the greatest draw, famed for it's stunning architecture and the famous 'Yaksha' guardian figures that flank all the main entrances to the complex. These towering figures, with their rich colours and tapering crowns, represent demonic characters from the mythological epic the 'Ramakien', and are identifiable as distinct individuals, all here serving a benign, protective role.
The Ramakien is also the subject for a stunning sequence of wall paintings within the cloister that encirlces the entire site, illustrating in minute detail the battles of the heroic monkey warriors, led by the monkey god Hanuman, against the demonic armies and kingdoms of Tosakan.
The Temple of the Emerald Buddha itself forms the largest structure and contains the venerated (though small) Buddha image. The complex contains several other iconic buildings clad in sumptuous decor, most notably the library or 'mondop' with it's gilt spire along with the great golden stupa.
The temple complex is technically a royal chapel rather than a working monastery like most Thai temples as it has no resident monks (the sheer volume of visitors leaves little room for anyone else anyway!).
We made two visits here on separate days; our first was with a group and far too rushed, we missed elements we'd wanted to see and the light was poor for photography, so we returned 2 days later with as much time and sunlight as we could want, which was well worth the effort!
