The Green Honeycreeper (Chlorophanes spiza) is a forest canopy species. It is less heavily dependent on nectar than the other honeycreepers, fruit being its main food (60%), with nectar (20%) and insects (15%) as less important components of its diet. It occurs naturally from southern Mexico south to Brazil - where they are known as Saí-verde. They are also established on the island of Trinidad.
Component element for an incoming design. Hull pattern's established, but still needs a lot of detail work. I know what I need to do and how to do it, but everything takes time. Hoping to be finished in a week or two.
This particular project has a design feature not seen for any of my prior starships... but we'll save that slice of cake for later. For the moment, enjoy the customary hyper-detailed engine assembly. ;)

An idea inspired by Codey K.'s excellent BrickArms mods.
All components use a 1/16" pin and socket system and are held by friction.
The M4 receiver has 5 holes to accommodate a butt stock, fore stock, mag, and two holes for scopes.
Proto parts have been injected, and parts will be available to hold and configure at BrickFair VA. See Codey for further details at the show.

Originally introduced in 1980 as a mid-engine rear wheel drive challenger to the dominant Lancia Stratos. The Turbo featured a mid mounted 1397 cc Cléon turbocharged engine situated behind the driver in mid body in a modified Renault 5 chassis which in standard form produced 160bhp.
Though it used a modified body from a standard Renault 5, and was badged a Renault 5, the mechanicals were radically different, the most obvious difference being rear-wheel drive and rear-mid-engined instead of the normal version's front-wheel drive and front-mounted engine. At the time of its launch it was the most powerful production French car.
Following on from the first 400 cars built for homologation Renault produced a second version, the Renault 5 Turbo 2, containing more stock Renault 5 parts, instead of the many light alloy components in the original 5 Turbo version.
The Turbo 2 was less expensive, but had nearly the same levels of performance, top speed of 200 km/h (120 mph) and 0–100 km/h in 6.9 seconds.

Photoresistor pulled from my random parts box.
The components themselves and devices such as door-chimes and burglar alarm sensors made from them are typically referred to as electric #eyes.
There are many types of photo-sensors - this type changes resistance when illuminated. The brighter the light, the lower the resistance. Although I didn't check this one, cadmium-sulphide is by far the most widely used resistance-varying material.
Dusk-to-dawn light controls, automatic dimmers for alarm-clock or other displays, garage-door reversing safety beams, weather stations and, of course, photographic light-meters are just a few of the places that different types of photo-sensors are found.

Lyn was a 2-4-2 tank steam locomotive built by the Baldwin Locomotive Works in 1898 for the Lynton and Barnstaple Railway. Between July 1897 and January 1898, employees of many British engineering companies were striking in an attempt to win the right to an eight-hour working day, leaving locomotive builders with large backlogs of unfulfilled orders. Thus, the Lynton and Barnstaple instead consulted the US based Baldwin to produce the engine they needed. After construction in Philadelphia, the loco was disassembled, shipped to Barnstaple, and reassembled by L&B staff in their Pilton workshops.
Lyn, like all the locomotives on the L&B, was named after a local river with a three-letter name, the River Lyn.
After the Lynton and Barnstaple became part of the Southern Railway in 1923, Lyn was taken to Eastleigh Works for major overhaul in 1928, returning the following year in Southern Green Livery and carrying the number E762 on the side tanks, as well as the original nameplates on the cab sides.
Lyn was scrapped in 1935 when the line closed.
In January 2009, The Lynton & Barnstaple Railway Trust announced a project to build an advanced modern replacement 'Lyn' for use on the restored railway by 2012. By 2013, Lyn's wooden cab had been built, along with the boiler and most fittings, wheels, cylinders, and many other components. CAD and modern engineering techniques were employed to ensure that, while the finished locomotive remains true to the original in appearance, it will perform much more efficiently and be easier to maintain and operate. The final assembly was carried out by Alan Keef Ltd. who has had experience with other Baldwin locos, such as the restoration of Baldwin 794 for the Welsh Highland Heritage Railway. First steamed on 8 July 2017, Lyn is finished in the colors and configuration of the original Lyn after returning from overhaul in 1929. The locomotive had its public debut at the L&B's September 2017 gala and is now resident at Woody Bay railway station.
My recent visit to Melbourne for Father’s Day was to catch up with my parents. Especially so with my father who is suffering enormously from prostate cancer and complications from skin cancer surgery. He is 88 years old, and has been under treatment for nearly three years now. Of course a recent bout with Covid by both my parents has not helped matters, and my father is back in hospital right now.
During that time I was reading about the work of American photographer Stephen Shore who describes how he tries to, “take photographs that feel like the way we see”.
“Stephen Shore: Taking photographs that feel like seeing” www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5xAxqbtz9o
So over coming days I will present a photo essay which tells something of what my parents are going through at the moment. This will mean putting their predicament into a social and domestic context, which although very comfortable in a material sense, is placing before them existential questions of significance.
They are both people of profound faith who have served God all their lives, and yet they find their end to be filled with pain and suffering – physical, emotional and spiritual. Prayer is an important component of their lives, and yet never before have their prayers seemed so powerless.
* You will need to follow these images in reverse order from this title page.
[I realise that the Flickr format is not conducive to such a photo essay, and I know that many people will not be bothered following the story. But I genuinely want to thank those of you who do and have expressed your concerns over recent times. I very much appreciate it.]

The mainstream Ford line of cars grew substantially larger for 1957, a model which lasted through 1959. The Crown Victoria with its flashy chrome "basket handle" was no more, and the acrylic glass-roofed Crown Victoria Skyliner was replaced by a new model, the retracting-roof hardtop Skyliner.
The new chassis allowed the floor to be placed much lower, which in turn led to a lower and longer look overall. The major component of this chassis was a differential whose pinion gear was exceptionally low relative to the axleshafts, lower than in conventional hypoid differentials.
The line was freshened with a simulated hood scoop and dual-headlight front clip for 1958. The rectangular grille openings gave way to circles, and a simulated hood scoop was added. A new 3-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic was optional along with the 2-speed Ford-O-Matic and manual transmission. Engines were also updated, with the 272 CID dropped, the 292 CID making 205 hp (153 kW), and a new-generation 332 CID (5.4 L) FE V8 rated at 240 HP in 2 barrel form and 265 HP in 4 barrel "Interceptor" form. The new 352 cubic inch V8, also dubbed "Interceptor" and rated at 300 hp (224 kW) made its debut. Galaxie production was started in Lorain, Ohio at Ford's Lorain Assembly plant for 1958 and continued through 1959 with 102,869 Galaxies produced there. Air suspension became optional.
The convertible version of Ford Fairlane 500, Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner (also called Skyliner Retractable Convertible), had been sold for three years - 1957, 1958, and 1959. It was the most expensive vehicle offered by Ford. The 1958 Skyliner sold for $3,163 while the standard convertible sold for $2,650 and the send went for $2,055. A total of 14,713 units were produced in 1958. Ford Fairlane 500 Skyliner weighted 4,609-pounds.
Struggling to finally combine all the components I've been creating, but not utilizing for the last few years! And there's tons more of these. This is just the tip of the polyberg. ;^P
Thank you to all who view, favorite, and comment...

La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias (en valenciano: Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències) es un complejo arquitectónico, cultural y de entretenimiento de la ciudad de Valencia (España).
El complejo, diseñado por Santiago Calatrava y Félix Candela, junto con los ingenieros Alberto Domingo y Carlos Lázaro autores del diseño estructural de las cubiertas del L'Oceanografic, fue inaugurado el 16 de abril de 1998 con la apertura de El Hemisférico. El último gran componente de la Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias es el Ágora, situado entre el puente de l'Assut de l'Or y l'Oceanogràfic. Actualmente se está finalizando su construcción.
La Ciudad de las Artes y las Ciencias está situada al final del viejo cauce del río Turia (Jardín del Turia), cauce que se convirtió en jardín en los años 1980, tras el desvío del río por la gran riada de Valencia en el año 1957. Constituye, hoy en día, el mayor reclamo turístico de la ciudad de Valencia. En 2007, fue uno de los ganadores del concurso 12 Tesoros de España, organizado por las empresas de Antena 3
España - Córdoba - Villanueva del Duque - Dehesa en la carretera A-430
ENGLISH:
Dehesa is a multifunctional agro-sylvo-pastoral system (a type of agroforestry) and cultural landscape of southern and central Spain (and southern Portugal, where it is known as montado). Dehesas may be private or communal property (usually belonging to the municipality). Used primarily for grazing, they produce a variety of products including non-timber forest products such as wild game, mushrooms, honey, cork, and firewood. It is also used as natural habitat for the Spanish fighting bull and the Iberian pig. The tree component is oaks, usually holm (Quercus ilex) and cork (Quercus suber). Other oaks, including melojo (Quercus pyrenaica) and quejigo (Quercus faginea), may be used to form dehesa, the species depending on geographical location and elevation. Dehesa is an anthropogenic system that provides not only a variety of foods, but also wildlife habitat for endangered species such as the Iberian lynx and the Spanish imperial eagle.
The dehesa is derived from the Mediterranean forest ecosystem, consisting of pastureland featuring herbaceous species for grazing and tree species belonging to the genus Quercus (oak), such as the holm oak (Quercus ilex sp. ballota), although other tree species such as beech and pine trees may also be present. Oaks are protected and pruned to produce acorns, which the famous black Iberian pigs feed on in the fall during the montanera. Ham produced from Iberian pigs fattened with acorns and air-dried at high elevations is known as Jamón ibérico, and sells for premium prices, especially if only acorns have been used for fattening.
There is debate about the origins and maintenance of the dehesa, and whether or not the oaks can reproduce adequately under the grazing densities now forced upon the dehesa or montado. Goats, cattle, and sheep also graze in dehesa. In a typical dehesa, oaks are managed to persist for about 250 years. If cork oaks are present, the cork is harvested about every 9 to 12 years, depending on the productivity of the site. The understory is usually cleared every 7 to 10 years, to prevent the takeover of the woodland by shrubs of the rock rose family (Cistaceae), often referred to as "jara", or by oak sprouts. Oaks are spaced to maximize light for the grasses in the understory, water use in the soils, and acorn production for pigs and game. Periodic hunts in the dehesa are known as the monteria. Groups attend a hunt at a private estate, and wait at hunting spots for game to be driven to them with dogs. They usually pay well for the privilege, and hunt wild boar, red deer and other species.
The dehesa system has great economic and social importance on the Iberian peninsula because of both the large amount of land involved and its importance in maintaining rural population levels. The major source of income for dehesa owners is usually cork, a sustainable product that supports this ancient production system and old growth oaks. High end ibérico pigs and sale of hunting rights also represent significant income sources.
The area of dehesa usually coincides with areas that could be termed "marginal" because of both their limited agricultural potential (due to the poor quality of the soil) and a lack of local industry, which results in isolated agro-industries and very low capitalization.
Dehesa covers nearly 20,000 square kilometers on the Iberian peninsula, mainly in:
Portugal (33% of total dehesa world's area)
Alentejo
The Algarve
Spain (23% of total dehesa world's area)
Córdoba
Extremadura
Salamanca
Sierra Morena
Sierra Norte de Sevilla
Sierra de Aracena

ESPAÑOL:
Dehesa es un bosque formado por encinas, alcornoques u otras especies, con estrato inferior de pastizales o matorrales, donde la actividad del ser humano ha sido intensa, y generalmente están destinados al mantenimiento del ganado, a la actividad cinegética y al aprovechamiento de otros productos forestales (leñas, corcho, setas etc.). Es un ejemplo típico de sistema agrosilvopastoral y típico de la zona occidental de la península ibérica.
El término dehesa viene del latín "defesa", pues los primeros pobladores en la reconquista hacían vallados para proteger los rebaños alojados en ellas.
Resulta así un ecosistema derivado del bosque mediterráneo, constituido por especies arbóreas del género Quercus (encina, alcornoque) u otras especies como hayas o pinos y el estrato herbáceo para pacer.
Se trata de un ecosistema derivado de la actividad humana a partir del bosque de encinas, alcornoques, etc. Es la consecuencia de conquistar al bosque terrenos para destinarlos a pastizales. Pasa por una fase inicial en la que se aclara el bosque denso para pasar a una segunda fase de control de la vegetación leñosa y la estabilización de los pastizales.
El sistema adehesado tiene una gran importancia económica y social en la península ibérica, tanto por su extensión superficial como por la función de fijación de población rural en sus núcleos. Reduciendo el flujo emigratorio y sus consecuencias (envejecimiento, incremento de tasas de mortalidad, reducción de tasas de actividad, abandono de explotaciones, etc).
La explotación de la dehesa suele coincidir con zonas que podríamos denominar “marginales”, tanto por su limitada vocación agraria (derivado de la pobreza de los suelos), como por la inexistencia de un tejido industrial, que se reduce a industrias agroalimentarias aisladas y de muy reducida capitalización.
Su extensión varía mucho según qué autores, pero está entre los dos y los cuatro millones de hectáreas (entre 20 000 y 40 000 km2; para hacerse una idea, 40 000 km2 es la extensión de Extremadura), principalmente en el suroeste y oeste: provincia de Córdoba, Salamanca, Extremadura, Huelva, Sierra Norte de Sevilla, piedemonte del sistema Central en España (especialmente en la zona de Talavera de la Reina) y el Alentejo y Algarve en Portugal.
