Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708) was a French botanist. He was born to a well-to-do family in Aix-en-Provence. Tournefort initially took up studies in theology. However, as he had a marked inclination towards natural sciences, he turned to medicine. He completed his studies at the University of Montpellier. In 1681, he was in Barcelona doing research in botany. In 1694 Tournefort published his first three-volume work, in which he classified 8846 plants. In 1698 he became Doctor in Medicine of the University of Paris. At that time his treatise was also translated into Latin. Tournefort became a famous physician and naturalist. He travelled extensively in Western Europe (Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, England). He had published a number of works on botany, and had acquired a fabulous collection of nearly 50.000 books, as well as costumes, arms, minerals, shells and various curiosities. Thus, he already had a very important career behind him when Louis XIV entrusted him with the mission to bring new plants to the Royal Botanical Garden.
Tournefort started out on his voyage to the Near East in the spring of 1700, at the age of 44, accompanied by a painter and a doctor. He visited thirty-eight islands of the Greek archipelago, as well as Northern Anatolia, Pontus and Armenia, and reached Tiflis in Georgia. Tournefort returned to Marseilles in June 1702.
His manuscript, composed of his letters to the Minister of the Exterior Count de Pontchartain, was published posthumously in 1717. A number of re-editions followed, while his work was also translated into English, German and Flemish. There is also a Greek translation of the first part. The fact that Tournefort had discovered new plants in his journey led him to publish a supplement to his main work of botanical classification in 1703. He taught Botany in the Académie, while continuing to practice medicine; at the same time, he was in charge of the Royal Gardens, where many plants he brought from his travels were cultivated with success. Having survived a multitude of adventures, Tournefort died of an accident in 1708. He did not live to see the publication of his travel chronicle, which in the following three centuries became the basic manual to all travellers to these regions. Until today, researchers from numerous fields turn to Tournefort’s text, as it remains an invaluable source of information. He describes the places he visited in a particular systematic manner.
The systematic way he organizes his information on topography, economy, administration, ethnic composition, customs and habits of everyday life shows how one can arrive at truth and knowledge through research, methodical study, classification and generalisation. To document his research, Tournefort cites a hundred and thirty-five texts by Greek and Latin authors as well as Byzantine writers, Humanists, and earlier travel accounts.
He methodically narrates his visit to each island, and describes the locations as well as events that he witnessed and encounters with locals. He then continues with the island’s history from ancient times to the current age, citing the corresponding myths, and comparing with the information provided by ancient coins. Subsequently, he writes on the island’s administration and taxes, commerce, products and prices thereof. An entire chapter is dedicated to the Greek church. Tournefort also writes on monasteries and churches, house architecture and caves. He also describes the customs, the dress and the occupations of the inhabitants. He concludes his chapters with geographical observations from the highest point of each main region.
Naturally, his work includes engravings of city views, locations and monuments as well as plants, instruments and costumes. The text becomes alive with vivid descriptions of his encounters with islanders, be it Turks, Franks, Greeks or privateers. Of special interest are his descriptions of fortresses, ports, safe havens and his information on map drawing.
The second volume is a publication of his thoroughly documented manuscripts. It was not edited by Tournefort himself as had happened with the first. On numerous occasions he refers to the politics, administration and ethnic composition of the Ottoman Empire. He continues with his journey on the southern coast of the Black Sea to Armenia. The work closes with a short description of Smyrna and Ephesus.
Tournefort is considered the first to have shown the islands of the Archipelago to be “travel material”, as he offered information which inspired the interest for further research, and also highlighed each location’s wealth and uniqueness.

Fransız botanikçi Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656-1708) Aix-en-Provence'da varlıklı bir aile içinde doğar, ilk önce tanrıbilim (teoloji) dersleri izler ancak genç yaştan beri doğa bilimlerine eğilim gösterir. Bu yüzden Montpellier'de tıp öğrenimi görüp 1681'de botanik araştırmaları yapmak üzere Barcelona'ya gelir. 1694 yılında üç ciltlik ve 8.846 bitkinin sınıflandırmasına ilişkin ilk eserini yayınlar; 1698'de Paris Tıp Fakültesinden doktor unvanını alır ve bu kazanımı yapıtının latince çevirisi izler. Doktor ve doğa bilimcisi olarak ün salmış, Batı Avrupa'da (İspanya, Portekiz, Hollanda, İngiltere'ye) seyahat etmiş, botanoloji ile ilgili kitaplar yayınlamış, 50.000'e yakın kitaptan meydana gelen bir kitaplık oluşturmuş, ayrıca yerel kıyafet, silah, mineral, deniz kabuğu ve daha başka ilginç şeylerden oluşan hayranlık uyandıran koleksiyonlar sahibi olmuşken, kral 14. Louis ona Kraliyet Botanik Bahçesine yeni bitkiler getirme görevini verir. Tournefort 1700 yılının ilkbaharında, 44 yaşındayken, yanına yoldaş olarak bir ressam ve bir doktor alarak Yakın Doğu'ya doğru yola çıkar.
Ege adalarından 38 tanesini ziyaret eder, Kuzey Anadolu'nun her tarafını gezip Karadeniz ve Ermenistan yörelerine gelir, Tiflis'e varır. Tournefort, 1702 yılının Haziran ayında Marsilya'da karaya ayak basar.
Kaleme aldığı metin (Dışişleri bakanı Kont de Pontchartain'e yolladığı mektuplar biçiminde) ilk olarak 1717'de yayınlanır, bu ilk yayını bir çok yeni baskı izler ve eser ingilizce, almanca ve flamanca gibi dillere- ilk kısmı yunancaya da - çevrilir. Yeni keşfettiği bitkilerin daha önce belirlemiş olduğu sınıflandırma sistemine eklenmesi sonucu olarak 1703'te yeni bir cilt yayınlar. Tournefort botanik profesörü sıfatıyla Akademide dersler verir, doktorluk mesleğini ve bunlara koşut olarak Kraliyet Bahçesinin sorumluluğu görevini sürdürür. Gezilerinden getirmiş olduğu birçok yeni bitki bu bahçede başarılı bir şekilde yetiştirilir. Tournefort geçirdiği birçok maceradan kefeni yırtmışken, üç asır boyunca her gezginin bu bölge için başucu kitabı olacak seyahatnamesinin yayınlanmasını göremeden 1708'de bir kaza sonucu ölür. Bugün hâlâ çeşitli dallardan araştırmacılar Tournefort'un metnine başvurup son derece değerli bilgilerinden faydalanmak durumundalar. Eseri anında ingilizce, hollandaca ve almancaya çevrilmişti.
Gezdiği yerleri betimlerken belirli bir yöntem izleyerek topoğrafya, ekonomi, yönetim, milletler sentezi ve günlük yaşamdaki örf ve adetlere ilişkin bilgiler verirken, Tournefort, bilginin gerçeğe uyup uymadığı konusuna araştırma, düzenli okuma, sınıflandırma ve genelleştirme yoluyla yanaşılabileceğini kanıtlıyor. Kanıtlayıcı belgeleri arasında antik Yunan ve Latin yazarlarından, ayrıca Bizans yazarlarından ve daha eski hümanist bilgin ve gezginlerden 135 tane metin bulunmakta.
Ziyaret ettiği her ada için düzenli olarak ziyaretini anlatıp birçok yeri ve olayı hatta yerlilerle olan görüşmelerini de betimler. Bunlara ek olarak, adanın eski çağlardan gününe dek tarihi ve bununla ilintili efsaneler, sikkeler hakkında, yönetim, vergilendirme usulleri, ticaret, ürünler ve fiyatları hakkında bilgiler verir. Ayrıca Yunanistan'ın dinî (kilise) yaşamına başlıbaşına bir bölüm ayırır. Manastırlar, kiliseler, evlerin mimarisi, mağaralar hakkında yazar, adetler ve kıyafetleri betimleyip halkın uğraşlarından sözeder ve önemli yörelerin her birinin en yüksek irtifasından yaptığı coğrafya gözlemleri ile anlatımını bitirir.
Doğal olarak eserinde şehir, yer, anıt, bitki, alet, ve kıyafet görünümleri ile ilgili gravürler de yer almakta. Ayrıca metni ada halkıyla (Türkler, Latinler, Yunanlılar, korsanlarla) ilişkilerinden çarpıcı betimlemelerle de çeşitlenir. Kitabında hisarlar, gemi barınakları, güvenli limanlar hakkında yaptığı betimlemeler ve harita çizimi ile ilgili verdiği bilgiler özel ilgi uyandıran kısımlar arasındadır.
Eserinin birinci cildinin yayına hazırlığını kendisi denetlemişken ikinci cilt kendi ayrıntılı yazılarına sadık kalınarak basılır. Bu cildin başındaki birçok bölüm Osmanlıların siyasal, yönetimsel ve etnografik durumuna ayrılmıştır. Bunun devamında Karadeniz'in güney kıyılarında yaptığı Ermenistan'a kadar varan yolculuğunu anlatıp kitabı İzmir ve Efes'in kısa bir betimlemesi ile bitirir.
Böylece Tournefort, başkalarında arayış isteğini besleyecek nitelikte malzeme sağlamanın yanısıra, gördüğü her yerin sonsuz zengiliğini ve kendine özgü niteliklerini yüzeye çıkarması açısından Ege adalarına bir "yolculuk uknumu" veren ilk şahıs olarak bilinir.

I'm using 4x Uniross 2500 mAh Ni-Mh batteries to power the MintyBoost XL. My custom design is fully open source and available to download from Thingiverse.
The whole collection, finally sorted and hung up after only 8 years of the wall being partially done. The pictures with the window open had even more glare, so, yeah.

A few chewed pieces in this puzzle but it didn't detract from the overall design.
During editing (basic crop) an error occurred and a strange black line appeared across the image that I didn't notice until too late; have cloned it out (albeit rather crudely) so don't look too closely!
I remember this poster design - and others by the same artist - from the 1980s, but have been unable to find out more about her.

Finally I have finished the Eldar project. I tried to make a small collage of the entire army. I am sattisfied with the end result.
The third day of the blockade to complete the re-quadrupling of Roby to Huyton Junction.
Day Two was strenuous activity east of this location, with junctions and track to lay galore.
Approaching this site from the eastern end of the trackside footpath was eerily quiet. All the heavy lifting appeared to have been done in the previous 24 hours.
No big kit and no-one in orange.
There was about a 1.5foot by 4 foot section that had been under the vanity that was there. The patch work was well done.

I will be their God
"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people." Jeremiah 31:33 (KJV)
Christian! here is all you can require. To make you happy, you want something that will satisfy you; and is not this enough? If you can pour this promise into your cup, will you not to say, like David, “My cup runs over [Psalm 23:5]; I have more than heart can wish”? When this is fulfilled, “I am your God”, aren't you possessor of all things? Desire is insatiable as death, but he who fills all in all can fill it [1Corinthians 15:28]. The capacity of our wishes who can measure? But the immeasurable wealth of God can more than overflow it. I ask you if you are not complete when God is yours? Do you want anything but God? Is not his all-sufficiency enough to satisfy you if all else should fail? But you want more than quiet satisfaction; your desire rapturous delight. Come, soul, here is music fit for heaven in this your portion, for God is the Maker of Heaven. Not all the music blown from sweet instruments, or drawn from living strings, can yield such melody as this sweet promise, “I will be their God.” Here is a deep sea of bliss, a shoreless ocean of delight; come, bath your spirit in it; swim an age, and you will find no shore; dive throughout eternity, and you shall find no bottom. “I will be their God.” If this do not make yours eyes sparkle, and your heart beat high with bliss, then assuredly your soul is not in a healthy state. But you want more than present delights—you crave something concerning which your may exercise hope; and what more can your hope for than the fulfilment of this great promise, “I will be their God”? This is the masterpiece of all the promises; its enjoyment makes a heaven below, and will make a heaven above. Dwell in the light of your Lord, and let your soul be always ravished with his love. Get out the marrow and fatness which this portion yields yours [Psalm 63:5]. Live up to your privileges, and rejoice with unspeakable joy [1 Peter 1:8].
In Germany, there is a pretty high refund on cans (25 cent). Therefore, most companies stopped to sell cans at all. Coca Cola re-introduced them in this new, Red Bull style tall cans. There pretty rare, though.
War shrine. Foundation stone 11 Oct 1917 by Sir Henry Galway, designed by Thomas Henry Lyon, crucifix unveiled 25 Jan 1920, completed shrine unveiled 11 Nov 1923. Originally erected to commemorate those who served in WWI, plaques since added for WWII.
“the Governor (Sir Henry Galway), in the presence of a large assembly of people, laid the first corner stone of a magnificent memorial (which has been erected in honour of the soldiers of all creeds who have gone from the district). . . His Excellency then unveiled the Shrine of St. George, which, beautiful for its realistic antiquity, was located in a niche in tne top of the front gable.” [Register 11 Oct 1917]
“the crucifix which recently arrived from London was made of beautiful white Nailsworth (English) stone, by Mr. Nathaniel Hitch, of Vauxhall, who carved the figures for the western front of Truro Cathedral. The design was that of Mr. T. H. Lyon, architect, of London. There were also two stone figures of soldiers to be placed on each side of the crucifix and these had yet to arrive from England. . . That portion of the work which could be done locally was carried out in Murray Bridge freestone. The crucifix will be unveiled by Captain Blackburn. V.C.” [Advertiser 7 Jan 1920]
“Last Sunday afternoon His Excellency the Governor (Sir Tom Bridges) unveiled the beautiful Soldiers' Memorial, which stands in front of St. George's Church, Goodwood. It was, indeed, a fitting day for. the ceremony — the anniversary of Armistice Day.” [Saturday Journal 17 Nov 1923]
“The names of the 130 soldiers are carved on the body of the monument, and that work was artistically done by Mr. Sennig, of Cambridge. The total cost of the construction was £1,575. Mr. Lyon provided the designs free of cost, and the construction work was carried out by Mr. Tillett without charge.” [Register 12 Nov 1923]
Church foundation stone 27 Sep 1902 by William Saumarez Smith, Archbishop of Sydney, architect Thomas Henry Lyon, opened 1 Sep 1903, extensions 1915, war shrine 1923. Replaced 1882 St George’s across the road.
Despite having a relatively small skein, I am quite happy with how this one turned out. The two-tone throwing arm looks really nice, the "gears" for the skein are easy to produce and function well (with one or two minor changes for the next one)... I do believe I might be ready to make a pencil-shooting ballista now :-D
cant believe the town i grew up in and live in gets nailed...still in disbelief. Pray for Washington, IL!
This is the completed product for the 2006 Blender F1 Challenge. Its a conceptual vehicle that is the "poor mans F1 car". Its economic, (brilliant milage) fast, and small. Everything a simple man (or woman) could want as a personal vehicle.
here is a more precise description:
My vehicle is a conceptual visualization of the near by future, when Hybrids and 'Green' vehicles are the hottest rage, and SUV's are not. However, there will always be people with an F1 racers heart and mind, and need for quick maneuvering adrenaline for the cheapest price.
And the answer to all this is the BOX. A two wheel vehicle designed to simulate the drivers seat of an F1 race car. With paddle shifters, peddles for each foot, extreme torq and acceleration, and a low angle of life makes this the poor mans dream!
The vehicle is placed on two wheels to simulate the dexterity and precision of a motorcycle. But at slow speeds, where more balance is required for the BOX vehicle, industrially precise gyroscopes kick into action for stable idle in city streets. With the addition of a compact size for mileage, a micro V6 hybrid engine is installed in the back of the car to give this baby ridiculous kick and power (feeling that of an F1).
Comes in 6 designer colors.
