Hinkley Point Bowling Club (1978-2005) was established by the staff of Hinkley Point nuclear power station in 1978 and after several years of playing on other greens in the area, they eventually opened their own green at the Hinkley Point Sports and Social Club in 1981. The sports and social club closed and the site sold, which led to the closing of Hinkley Point Bowling Club in 2005. Members obtained a 99 year lease on redundant allotment lands in North Petherton in Somerset and worked to establish a new bowling club there. They also received grants that enabled them to build a new pavilion there which opened in 2006 and their new 3-lane indoor rink opened in 2008.
Hinkley Points A and B are Magnox nuclear power stations located at Somerset on the south-west coast of England. Hinkley Point A has been generating electricity since 1956 and Hinkley Point B since 1976. Hinkley Point A is currently undergoing decommissioning and will be replaced by Hinkley Point C nuclear reactors.

RESTORE!! (This was one of my New Year's "guidelines," to restore or repair old things and make them new again). I took an old clock that I have had since about 1967 and made it over into something quite different. It might be gaudy for some, but I like how it matches the multi-colored frames on my nightstand now.
Basically I cleaned up the old hardware and scraped old glue, then painted the wood parts of the clock gold. I then attached glass crystals in various sizes and colors to make something that looks like it could come from the thieves' cave that Ali Baba visits (or so I tell myself).
While I did this I watched the uncut version of 1954's "The Egyptian," directed by Michael Curtiz. OMG what a long and melodramatic movie!!! I saw it years ago but I had forgotten most of it.
Migration is a driver of globalization. Clocks in this store catering to immigrant shoppers reflect diverse homelands.

Mon premier MOC !
L'Horloge indique les secondes, minutes et heures.
Le Coucou ( un perroquet lol ) est réglée pour se déclancher une fois par heure.
Par manque de pièces, elle n'a pas encore une grande autonomie, mais dure plusieurs minutes.

My first MOC !
The clock indicates the seconds, minutes and hours.
The Cuckoo ( a parrot lol ) is set to trigger once per hour.
For lack of parts, it still lacks a lot of autonomy, but lasts for several minutes.
It is a prominent landmark in the city of Chester and is said to be the most photographed clock in England after Big Ben
I will see the time in the smart phone recently, I no longer wear a watch too. Since a broken left arm, taking out a smart phone from the pocket of my hip is now difficult. In the aftermath, I feel that the accuracy of the biological clock I was a bit higher will.

最近僕はスマートフォンで時刻を見るので、あまり腕時計を着けなくなりました。 左腕を骨折して以来、お尻のポケットからスマートフォンを取り出す事が難しくなりましたが、その影響で、僕の体内時計の精度が少し高くなった気がします。

Clock tower (incorporating war memorial). c.1830, slightly altered. Coursed
dressed granite, with wooden bellcote on roof. Square plan, plus a rectangular
porch on the south side. Early English style, with chamfered 2-centred arched
openings and hoodmoulds. Three stages, each set back above a weathered offset.
The porch has a large arched outer doorway furnished with added ornamental
wrought-iron gates, a small window in each side, and an embattled parapet over
a weathered band
This photograph of the clock was taken on one of the cannon cameras. The photograph is apart of the shutter speed challenge from Photography One.The photograph was edited by adjusting the levels, cropping the image, and the photograph was taken at a 2 second shutter speed. Additionally, the photograph was enhanced by Burns. The reason why this is one of the better one of my photographs is that I enjoy the high metallic shin against the cool toned white wall, I also enjoy the "wave-like" shutter speed of the seconds hand, and I enjoy the enhancement of the hands on the clock through editing.
Product photography for a client that needed clean and simple shots of different items, this was a part of a clock collection with a kinds of clocks, old and new.
The current clock was originally part of a building on Pacific Avenue. When the building was modernized in 1964, the owners sold the clock to the city for one dollar. The clock remained in storage for about a decade. As a way to get funding for a clock tower, the plan was presented as a bicentennial project for 1976.
The old clock was re-dedicated on July, 4th 1976.
New approach to the S2 clock project in evidence here.
So far the brief/analysis/specification pages are produced in much the same way as ever. The radical shift is in the generation of ideas approach. Here we borrowed an idea outlined in Kurt Rowland's 1968 book "The Shapes We Need". Amongst other things Rowland explores spatial relationships and really gets to the heart of aesthetics and visual beauty. Some things just look right and others don't. Why is this? Rowland seems to have a some good theories about this. This book was part of a series he released in the late 60's. I understand these textbooks were standard issue in Glasgow Secondary Schools Art Departments at the time. I don't know of any art teachers that used them much apart from my mother. Anyway this little card based exercise suited our purposes perfectly.
The current S2 course has seeen alot of changes over the last five years. We'll distribute the cours notes on the S2 Course page at: designandtechnologydepartment.co.uk in due course.

Artist Bio: William Mortenson, (1897-1965) lived a quiet and secretive life but made quiet the impact on the art community, especially in the world of photography. Joseph Bellows Gallery described his art as combining "the notions of classical art and literature with the allure and phantasm of Hollywood." Mortensen had a studio in Laguna beach California and often made his living taking photos of Hollywood stars including Fay Wray, Cecil B. deMille and Marlene Dietrich. He later took promotional photos for L.A Sunday Times creating dramatic scenes with actors in costume. He was a master of lighting and wrote manuals on the subject along with the problems of posing. His developing techniques were unique and his alternative process often included manipulating his photos with razor blades or carbon pencils. His photos tended to be more adorned and dramatic challenging the concepts of the up and coming "purest" movement of the time. Many regarded Mortensen as the enemy of photography, treating his photos as a threat (perhaps to common sense), and excluded him from the elitist art communities. His photography fell out of favor with the masses and his career slipped away. Nude with Clock is one of many studio pictures taken by Mortensen. This image with the over sized clock and the woman stretching luxuriously reminds me of a combination between Salvador Dali and a Hollywood stage setting. The subject matter is both whimsical and bizarre.
Back in the breaker box, The Energy Detective takes power readings and transmits them over the mains. In the clock, an analog filter/amplifier isolates these RF signals from the incoming AC power. An AVR microcontroller does further filtering, decodes the packets, and generates clock ticks.

Margate's Jubilee Clock Tower was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887, although not completed until 1889. It had a Time Ball mechanism, mounted on a mast atop the tower, which was raised a few minutes before 1 pm each day and dropped at precisely 1 pm, thereby allowing residents, visitors and ships to know the exact time. This was, of course, in the days before wireless transmission of time signals. The Time Ball fell out of use many years ago, but following a suggestion by Arnold Schwartzman OBE RDI, a former Margate resident, Margate Civic Society raised funds to have the Time Ball repaired and brought back into use. This was successful, and a civic ceremony celebrated the restoration on 24 May 2014, Queen Victoria's birthday and the 125th anniversary of the Clock Tower's official opening. The Time Ball now drops at 1 pm each day and is one of only a handful of working time balls in the world. Photograph by Pamela Vallance. July 21st 2020.
