Atacama Compact Array (ACA) on the ALMA high site at an altitude of 5000 metres in northern Chile. The ACA is a subset of 16 closely separated antennas that will greatly improve ALMAâs ability to study celestial objects with a large angular size, such as molecular clouds and nearby galaxies. The antennas forming the Atacama Compact Array, four 12-metre antennas and twelve 7-metre antennas, were produced and delivered by Japan.

The second generation of the Renault Kangoo was built from 2007 until 2021. Part of the range is this Compact model. This model is often used by surveillance companies over here. It's seems to be a little too small for the owner of this one, seeing the additional box on the roof...
The compact geared 2-axle trucks were inspired by a brilliant truck design by Space2310: www.flickr.com/photos/space2310/4755841352/ . However, it took a couple months of refinements to stop it from falling apart over the course of a nominal 8 hour show day. Consequently the following two part mods are not needed to run - only to enhance reliability:
- The technic toggle joint with pins clipped: www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=48496
- The two "C" shaped inserts along the top liftarm are clipped technic track ends.
Note the black 1x2 vertical liftarm "side bearings" on the truck sides which transmit the tender weight to the truck frame just like on the prototype.
This is something a little different I only know of Willoughby and City of Sydney councils utilising for waste management, being chute systems coupled to waste compactors, which feed steel containers. Not really something you see in the modern buildings for waste disposal, but it was a popular idea in at least these two councils when the high rise residential buildings started going up in the 1990s and 2000s. Pretty simple how it works, residents drop their garbage into the chute from whichever level they’re at, rubbish falls into the hopper and eventually a blade packer will cycle multiple times to clear the material and load the bin. When full, the bin is changed over with one of a number of empty ones so the system can continuously operate. Benefits of this system compared to plastic bins are that you’re working with very durable containers having a long lifespan, fewer bins are required due to the greater holding capacity and a much smaller garbage room is needed. What does suck about these compactor bins is when they’re overloaded, sometimes becoming very difficult to move and an even greater pain in the arse to empty out when there’s a big dense brick of heavy rubbish stuck inside. Although when they’re filled up a rational amount and all equipment is utilised responsibly, these are no problem to service. Both of the pictured compactor rooms belong to buildings built in 2000 and 1999, with two different packer systems which do indeed pack well, sometimes bringing the gross weight of these bins to over a tonne. Given the nature of the job, these 1.5m bins are also fabricated with extra ribbed reinforcement to withstand the packing force and mass of the loads.

I took this for work the other day.
I think it captures the movement of the machine and the care and skill of the operator... more than I hoped for.
Chuffed with it :)

The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
The Sandugo is depicted in both the provincial flag and the official seal of the government in Bohol. It also features the image of the blood compact. The top of the seal explains the history behind the Sandugo event that occurred in Bohol, the fleet and the location where the Spaniards anchored and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565
