La galaxie spirale IC 4709 (Hubble) est située à 240 millions d'années-lumière de la Terre dans la constellation australe du Téléscope (Telescopium). Avec son faible halo et son disque tourbillonnant rempli d'étoiles et de bandes de poussière, la région compacte de son cœur abrite un Noyau Galactique Actif (NGA). Si ce cœur ne contenait que des étoiles, il ne serait pas aussi brillant, c'est en réalité un trou noir gigantesque, 65 millions de fois plus massif que le Soleil.
Un disque de gaz gravite en spirale autour du trou noir, puis finit par s'y écraser et s'y réchauffer lors de sa rotation. Ses températures sont si élevées qu'il émet d'importantes quantités de rayonnement électromagnétique, allant de l'infrarouge au visible, en passant par l'ultraviolet et les rayons X. Une bande de poussière sombre, visible ici au centre, masque le NGA, bloquant toute émission de lumière visible provenant du noyau lui-même. Mais Hubble offre cependant une vision détaillée de l'interaction entre le très petit NGA (ou AGN en anglais) et sa galaxie hôte. Cela permet aussi de mieux comprendre les trous noirs supermassifs de galaxies bien plus lointaines, où il est impossible d'obtenir des détails aussi fins.
Les données des relevés de Hubble des NGA (AGN) proches ont été initialement identifiés par le télescope spatial Swift de la NASA. Ce dernier abrite trois télescopes multi-longueurs d'onde, collectant des données dans les domaines visible, ultraviolet, X et gamma. Sa composante X lui permet notamment d'observer directement les rayons X du BGA (AGN) d'IC 4709, en perçant la poussière obscurcissante. Le télescope Euclid de l'ESA observe actuellement l'univers sombre en lumière optique et infrarouge, et photographiera également IC 4709 et d'autres NGA (AGN) locaux. Leurs données, ainsi que celles de Hubble, seront complémentaires sur l'ensemble du spectre électromagnétique et permettront de mieux comprendre les trous noirs et leur influence sur leurs galaxies hôtes (cf. texte : Agence spatiale européenne et image : ESA/Hubble & NASA, M. Koss, A. Barth).

Automation allows this modern trash truck to grasp receptacles, lift them and flip them over in order to dump their contents into the awaiting large bin.
The solar panels are embedded in the top, gathering energy even when there’s no direct sunlight. Each unit has a capacity of up to 150 gallons. That’s over four times the capacity of a traditional 35-gallon trash can. Built-in sensors detect when a container has reached capacity.
An “entry-level” unit starts around $1,800

Dull and wet out today, at a loss for anything to photograph...except myself naked!...I'll spare you that, here's some boring cameras.
86, 88, or 89 Gios Compact, built up with Campagnolo Chorus gruppo from 2001, Campa Shamal Ultra wheels, Cinelli bars, San Marco regal seat and Vittoria Corsa CX Kevlar tires. Multo bene.
This model is based on the Suzuki house designed by the Architects Bolles & Wilson. Created for the Suzuki family it is located on a compact 7 * 5.5 Metre site on the outskirts of Tokyo, Japan.
I built the model using 3mm coloured card.
2 Sitzpositionen an klassischem Vorbau +,- 9 Grad:
a) Multifunktionslenker nach vorn abgeneigt, das Körpergewicht wird entlang der Unterarme am innen gelgegenen Rohrteil abgestützt, die Handgelenke liegen entspannt am äußeren Rohrende auf;
Meistens sieht man diese Multifunktionslenker an Trekkingrädern aufwärts justiert als Reserveoption für eine noch aufrechtere Sitzposition.
b) klassischer gerader MTB-Lenker

The HF 4WD – a compact, five-door Lancia – dominated world-class rallying for six years, winning innumerable events, World Championships for Drivers, and World Championships for Manufacturers. Alongside the cars, driving heroes such as Markku Alan, Didier Auriol, Miki Biasion, Juha Kankkunen and Carlos Sainz also became legendary in this period.
The Integrale was both the most successful rally ever produced by Lancia, and the last, for when the car came to the end of its career in 1993, the company finally and irrevocably withdrew from the sport.
toilet/shower. not sure where you would be standing to take the shower... probably on the toilet seat cover?
First of all, RWC has been marked as an Illegal weapon corporation, so now it only has one worker and designer, me.
So then, this is a new compact handgun series from RWC, the CH-Mk.I
It offers compact design, ambidextrous magrelease, rails, and uses 9x19mm caliber.
That's moi posing with the friendly trinkets vendors outside the Blood Compact site in Bohol. The site itesf is nothing much, just a nondescript statue on the side of the road. A lot of the viewing pleasure was lost with the large hotel under construction alongside. (as seen in the background). (Bohol- Tagbilaran, Philippines, May 2013)

In spite of (or maybe because of) so many of the real ones being made, there don't seem to be a lot of scale models of Mercedes 107s around. I was surprised to happen across this MicroMachines version for a couple of bucks on eBay, so I jumped at it .... but it was white, and repainting it to match the Merz is proving a real challenge for my shaky old hands. I resorted to using a toothpick instead of a paint brush for some of the smaller details, I should probably have given up on the brush earlier. It's still cute, though, you just have to not look too close. Still need to get some orange paint for the turn signal lenses.
I've always wondered how they manage to paint these little cars - trying to repaint one myself has not made this any more comprehensible. I was better at this sort of thing when I was 10; maybe small hands help
The model is actually a 560SLC, but that's pretty close. I painted over the vents on the sides to make them look like part of the side windows.
Buy VMT 330 Mini Tandem Roller cum Compactor from JCB Heavyline Machinery now and get superior higher curb clearance which provides better compaction effect till the end of the curb, resulting in better finish and durability of compacted layers.

The Great or Classic Pueblo Period - 800 years ago.
AD 1100 to 1300 saw the climax of Pueblo development in the Mesa Verde area. During this period the people moved from small, compact villages on the mesa tops to alcoves where they built cliff dwellings, like Spruce Tree House, shown here on an autumn day in the late 1200's. The natural alcoves were an ideal place to build homes. Walls were built of shaped sandstone blocks laid in mud mortar and roofs were constructed of poles, bark, and mud. Houses were grouped around open courtyards where most daily activities probably took place. Circular rooms beneathe the courtyards, resembling kivas of Pueblo villages of today, may have been used for ceremonial or social functions. The Ancestral Puebloan people continued to farm on the mesa tops using dryland farming techniques. In good years, quantities of produce were stored for use in years of crop failure. Water was carried from a spring in the head of the canyon, 100 yards north of the alcove. Clubs, snares, and the bow and arrow were used for hunting, stone wood, and bone tools including awes, knives, drills, and hammerstones were vital to the survival of the people. Two types of pottery were made, corrugated ware for cooking and storage, and decorated black-on-white vessels for other purposes. Food was boiled in jars, baked or fired on flat stone griddles, or roasted in ashes or coals. Cotton was traded into the area from southern Arizona and used to make excellently woven cotton cloth. Turquoise, ocean shells, salt, and argillite, a red stone that looks like pipestone, were traded from the Southwest and the Pacific coast. Despite the advances made by the Pueblo people, changes in architecture and living styles point to problems by the late 1200's. Although a severe 24 year drought began in AD 1276, the people had survived water shortages in the past. Depletion of the soil, timber resources, and game animals took a toll. The people left Mesa Verde by 1300 AD, moving south and joining other Pueblo people in Arizona and New Mexico.
