Stereo components at the apartment at 163 Marshall Street. Never had anything fancy, but this set up powered a lot of parties. That horrible mistake, the auto-reverse tape deck which could never stay in alignment, didn't last too long. The RCA (JC Penney) receiver below was replaced by about 1988 I'd say, so it really only lasted about 8 years. The turntable, however, went from about 1979 until this year, when it was finally replaced by something good.

Entre 1959 y 1962, 329 de estos hermosos coches fueron fabricados. El diseño es de Giovanni Michelotti, el chasis del TR3 y los componentes mecánicos eran suministrados por la Triumph Motor Company desde el Reino Unido y el producto final salía de la fábrica de Alfredo Vignale en Turí, Italia. El coche fué idea del distribuidor de Standard-Triumph en Italia, Salvatore Ruffino, quién pensaba en una producción de unas mil unidades. Las dificultades económicas de Triumph, terminó siendo comprada por British Leyland, y la presentación por parte de la casa inglesa de su modelo TR4, también diseñado por Michelotti con muchos elementos de este modelo, terminaron la corta carrera de uno de los Triumph más hermosos.

1HWork asks: what does fair social and technological knowledge transfer look like, and how can it be attractively linked to the value of work? Creative collaborative production needs a fair model of synchronisation, hierarchy and remuneration, and it should be cool. We give the production operating system an update, inscribe work with an immutable value and thus open diverse possibility spaces for value creation. The 1HWork Index ΚΔ is blockchain-based, feeds from numerous databases and aims to promote a fairer remuneration of work. With the CO฿IE in one’s wallet, one can then redeem rapid prototyping-machine hours, workshop time-expert hours and/or re-use components. The prototypes for this: arteQ as an art NFT community, and a new recruiting platform developed in the social design process that matches the strengths of workers with the needs of companies in the job search.

La empresa impulsa sistema alemán de formación dual
Visitó Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Secretario de Relaciones Exteriores de Alemania, planta de Schaeffler en Irapuato
IRAPUATO, GTO.– En el marco del viaje que realizó con una delegación comercial de empresarios Alemanes, el Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, Secretario de Relaciones Exteriores de Alemania, visitó la planta de producción de Schaeffler Group en este municipio, donde Georg F. W. Schaeffler, socio y Presidente del Consejo del grupo Schaeffler, Bruce Warmbold, CEO de Schaeffler Americas y Gabriel Rivera, responsable de las operaciones de la firma en México, le dieron la bienvenida, así como a los demás integrantes de la delegación.
Georg Schaeffler, quien también formó parte de la delegación, destacó: “Nos da gusto que haya elegido esta factoría para realizar su visita, porque nuestras plantas en México representan importante apoyo para proveer a nuestros clientes en Norte y Centroamérica; además, con el centro de formación profesional “Schaeffler Academy” que se tiene en estas mismas instalaciones, formamos aprendices y estudiantes según el modelo “dual alemán”, fijamos a nivel regional altos estándares en la cualificación de nuestros empleados.”
Gabriel Rivera, presentó la planta de Schaeffler Irapuato, resaltando los siguientes puntos: “Fieles a nuestra filosofía ‘En la región–para la región’, atendemos a los clientes de la empresa en estas operaciones desde 2008, las cuales representan empleo para cerca de 800 colaboradores, con base en lo cual las actividades se han desarrollado con éxito”.
Dijo además que para el año próximo se tiene planeada la ampliación de sus capacidades, afirmó el directivo.
Esta factoría abastece rodamientos clásicos y productos para sistemas de motores y aplicaciones para el tren motriz a clientes del sector automotriz, a diversas industrias, así como a proveedores en México y Norteamérica.
El recorrido en la planta lo realizaron el Secretario de Relaciones Exteriores, el Dr. Frank-Walter Steinmeier, y los participantes de la delegación, a través de las áreas de producción y de formación y entrenamiento.
El Dr. Steinmeier aprovechó la visita para conversar con los aprendices, estudiantes e instructores, a quienes les preguntó sus experiencias. Como recuerdo y en agradecimiento a su visita, los aprendices le entregaron un juego de ajedrez diseñado y fabricado por ellos mismos.
Nayeli Mariela Becerra Rodríguez, quien estudia la carrera de Mecánica Industrial con especialidad en el tecnología de mecanizado, dijo: “Fue un gran honor para mí conocer al Secretario de Relaciones Exteriores de Alemania.”
Schaeffler México –como todos los centros de formación de Schaeffler en el mundo– ha integrado el exitoso sistema de Formación Dual alemán, dado que los colaboradores con cualificación de primer nivel son factor de éxito en la competencia global. En la “Schaeffler Academy” se encuentran actualmente 53 aprendices y 20 estudiantes de ingeniería con formación o carrera técnica bajo el citado sistema dual. La formación se realiza en los oficios de mecánico industrial, matricero y técnico en procesos de mecanizado. Hasta ahora han terminado su formación o estudios en esta institución alrededor de 160 jóvenes. Todos los egresados a la fecha han encontrado trabajo en la empresa.
En México, Schaeffler tiene actividades desde 1970. En Puebla se fundó la primera planta a mediados de los años 70, con la fabricación de productos de la marca LuK. Actualmente, alrededor de 1,100 empleados producen embragues, discos y componentes para embragues, volantes de inercia, embragues dobles en seco, y actuadores, para los fabricantes de automóviles de Norteamérica. En 1981 se inició una segunda planta en la Ciudad de México. Donde también se estableció en 1998 la división de Schaeffler Automotive Aftermarket. En total, Schaeffler da trabajo en México a mas de 2,200 colaboradores.
Con sus marcas INA, LuK y FAG, Schaeffler Group es líder a nivel mundial de soluciones en rodamientos, cojinetes de deslizamiento, tecnología de impulsión lineal y directa, así como proveedor de la industria automotriz de componentes de precisión y sistemas para el motor, la transmisión y el tren de conducción.

The Polonez is a rebodied Polski Fiat 125p that Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych (FSO) built under license from Fiat.
The internal components, including modernized 1.3/1.5 Litre engines, (pistons and carburetor), the chassis, and other mechanicals, were from the Polski Fiat 125p, but the body was an entirely new hatchback body designed by Giorgetto Giugiaro.

An excellent plan view of the Oxford Botanic Garden (OBG) at the time, a lot of information was communicated to the viewer. I most enjoy the labeling system included for useage of the buildings.
This plan was to be updated in the next edition of Daubney's 'Guide'.
The father of the artist, named William Baxter, was already the Curator of the Oxford Botanic Garden.
The son William Hart Baxter, became an assistant Curator as his father aged, later replacing him as main Curator (gardener).

I have rearranged the layout of the 'Explanations' component in the lower portion, to provide a more harmonious graphic presentation. All text remains unchanged.
I added the trees between the text replacing a vertical line, thinking that a visual element used in the Plan itself, would be more harmonious.
I copied the Copper Beech at the East Gate, as drawn by artist William Hart Baxter.

NON-NUCLEAR COMPONENT STORES BUILDING 60 –
The function of the non-nuclear component stores was to hold the high explosive part of the bomb and its outer casing. The casing could probably be split into two units, the tail and forward part containing the high explosive and electronics. The bombs, minus their fissile components, were housed in three almost identical stores buildings 59-61, known as Storage Building Type 'D-D'. These are arranged in an arrowhead pattern, and are accessed from the internal loop road, and are all surrounded by 14ft 6in high earth traverses, revetted by a reinforced concrete retaining wall against the roadway.
The western store, building 59 was gutted by a fire during the 1980's and has subsequently been demolished. Its floor plan remains visible on the remaining concrete floor slab. The two remaining stores, buildings 60 and 61 are rectangular in plan, and are constructed from reinforced concrete columns and beams. Internally there are two rows of columns, 13in², which support the roof beams, 2ft by 9in, which carry the 9in thick reinforced concrete roof slab which is covered with bituminous felt. The rainwater gutters and down pipes are cast asbestos.
The wall sections are filled with 18in by 9in by 9in precast concrete blocks, internally the main storage area measures 190ft 2½in by 60ft. It is divided longitudinally into eleven 17ft by 3ft bays and cross ways into three bays the outer bays measure 17ft 6in and the central bay is 25ft wide. The maximum clear internal height was 12ft from the floor to the underside of the roof beams. The floor is surfaced with a hard gritless asphalt with the patent name 'Ironite'. The walls are painted pale green colour and the ceiling cream. in store building 61 the bay letters 0, N, M, and L are visible on the rear columns on the eastern side, suggesting the store was divided into 22 bays along the outer walls.
Abutting on to the front of the stores, and flanking the entrances, are plant and switch rooms, which originally contained heating and air conditioning plant to maintain a stable environment within the stores. A raised air extract duct is placed asymmetrically on the roofs of the stores. Entry into the stores is through a 10ft wide door opening with 12ft high doors. In the rear wall of the stores is a single door width, outward opening emergency exit. The first nuclear weapon the store was designed to hold was relatively large, a ''Blue Danube'' bomb measured 24ft in length and weighed 10,000lbs.
The problems of handling such large objects are reflected in the provision of substantial lifting gantries at the entrance to each store. Two variants are found, the simplest, exemplified by the middle store building 60 comprises a straight gantry. Over the roadway the gantry is supported by four 24in by 18in reinforced concrete columns, which support two 51in by 24in reinforced concrete beams. The upper beams of the gantry taper towards the entrance to the store where they are suppurted by two reinforced concrete columns. On the underside of the gantry is attached a 20in by 6½in rolled steel joist runway beam which runs to the entrance to the building. This was originally fitted with a 10 ton hoist. The gantry is covered by asbestos sheeting to provide a dry working area.
On the eastern and western stores the gantries were set at 30° to the front of the stores. In this variant an extra set of columns was placed at the 30° dogleg. Internally there is no evidence for a runway beam, so it presumed the bombs were lifted off a road transporter and loaded onto a bomb trolley for storage. It is not known how many bombs were kept in each store, or if the tail units were separated from the front part of the bomb for storage. Subsequent to the site being relinquished by the RAF a central corridor has been created in the stores by the insertion of breeze block walls. Doors in these walls give access to workshops along either side of the buildings. External windows have also been inserted in some of the bays.

The McLellan-Sweat Mansion, or The McLellan House, forming the rear component of the Portland Museum of Art complex at 7 CongressSquare, is a well-preserved Federal style brick townhouse built in 1800-01. Designed by for John Kimball, Sr., the three-story Flemish blond brick structure was built for shipping magnate Major Hugh McLellan. te property was purchased in 1880 by Lorenzo De Medici Sweat, whose widow, Margaret Jane Mussey Sweat, bequeathed it in 1908 to the Portland Society of Art, now the Portland Museum of Art.
The Portland Museum of Art (PMA) was founded as the Portland Society of Art in 1882 and is the largest and oldest public art institution in Maine. The Museum's collection includes more than 17,000 objects items of the decorative and fine arts dating from the 18th century to the present. The heart of the Museum's collection is the State of Maine Collection, which features works by artists such as Winslow Homer, Marsden Hartley, John Marin, Louise Nevelson, Andrew Wyeth and John Greenleaf Cloudman.
The museum used a variety of exhibition spaces until 1908 when the McLellan-Sweat Mansion was bequeathed as the permanent home. In 1976, Maine native Charles Shipman Parson gifted the museum his collection of 17 paintings by Winslow Homer as well as $8 million towards the building of an addition, the Charles Shipman Payson Building, which was built from 1981-1983 to the design of Henry Nichols Cobb of I.M. Pei & Partners.

Three separate components were made: just cooked tender sago pearls, a mango soup that consisted of numerous Filipino mangoes (maybe 8?) and a splash of evaporated milk (touch of lemon, sugar syrup, water and mago juice), cubes of mango and careful pulp separation from half a large pomelo (I like lots of texture in mine). This was a not too sweet but very satisfying finish to a great and hearty meal. Well worth the hours of work.

NYC Transit Crews fanned out along segments of 14 subway lines this past weekend to perform heavy duty maintenance and upgrades to signals, stations, tracks and other subway components. This work helps to improve service by increasing the reliability of the subway infrastructure.
Along the Queens Blvd E F M R corridor, crews replaced track and other components that were past their useful life. Among those components were the installation of new track tie blocks with eco-friendly EKKI Hilti ties. Crews also installed Resilient Faster Track Plates which help absorb and disperse the load of the train. These track enhancements will make for a smoother, more reliable ride along the corridor.
This work is funded by the MTA’s Capital Program which helps prioritize the investments that will be essential to renew, enhance, and expand the system to meet the changing needs of the region, its economy, and its residents.
During current 2010-2014 Capital Program we’ve bought new subway cars, new commuter railroad cars, new local buses, and new express buses. We installed more modern signals for faster and better rides. We’re building new rail lines and connections that will serve New York for generations to come. And after Superstorm Sandy ravaged our network, we committed nearly $1 billion to fix the damage and fortify against future storms. With a fully-funded 2015-2019 Capital Program, we’ll continue making our system more resilient against big storms. We’ll bring Positive Train Control—a state-of-the-art signal system—to Metro-North and the LIRR. We’ll continue introducing new routes for Select Bus Service, which uses off-board fare collection, low-floor, high capacity buses, and dedicated bus lanes to cut travel times by nearly 20 percent. We’ll replace 86 miles of subway track with safer, smoother track. And we’ll complete hundreds of similar projects that keep our customers safe and on time. These types of projects may not be glamorous, but together with the normal replacement of our trains and buses, they are the key to moving 8.7 million people every day, safely and reliably.

Le attività illegali sono state e sono una componente essenziale del sistema di impresa e di potere di Berlusconi: sono andate dai legami con la mafia( i rapporti organici di Dell’Utri con le famiglie mafiose sono inconfutabili), all’associazione nella P2 e pertanto con i servizi deviati e le istituzioni asservite, alla corruzione, allo sfruttamento delle gnocche, all’intrigo, al riciclaggio, alla frode e al falso, al ricatto, all’evasione. Fin dalle origini, quindi costituendone la genesi, ha frequentato il reato.
Il suo impero è una sorta di mostruoso gigante che, mentre mostra un piede alla luce, ha tenuto e tiene l’altra gamba ben affondata nel fango. Allorchè tutte le coperture e le connivenze stavano per saltare, ha pensato di creare uno schieramento politico di cui fosse il padrone.
In un Paese normale ciò sarebbe stato immediatamente considerato un delirio grottesco e avrebbe segnato la sua definitiva rovina, ma in Italia, il Paese in cui una volta condannati non si va in prigione ma in Parlamento è stato consentito all’antistato di prendere lo stato per esautorarlo.
Egli ha saturate le istituzioni dei suoi avvocati e dei suoi dipendenti d’azienda e di famiglia, mentre le vaste schiere di giornalisti al soldo e della natura dei lacchè manipolavano e manipolano l’informazione; nel contempo i pochi liberi rischiano il carcere. Il cavaliere misteriosamente ed opacamente arricchito ha costituito un regime poggiato sull’autoritarismo e la mafiosità, mostruosa e inedita creatura del relativismo, del marasma, dell’ebetismo e la cui unica motivazione è la perpetuazione del suo potere personale corrotto.
La supposta democrazia del voto di Berlusconi è una beffa ai sudditi regrediti allo stato di gonzi dallo sculettio mediatico, Berlusconi occupa ogni spazio istituzionale, ogni pubblico servizio con i suoi servi per proseguire i suoi affari sporchi e restare immune alle regole e alle responsabilità per la loro violazione, il reato per Berlusconi è una necessità vitale, Berlusconi sarebbe un cantante da balera senza i miliardi accumulati in buona parte con mezzi illegali e opachi, la cosa pubblica è per lui il suo privato.
Il Paese è la sua bottega, tutti gli italiani li considera suoi dipendenti, le sue proprietà e i suoi affari personali devono avere prevalenza sull’interesse pubblico e il bene comune s’identifica con le fortune personali del signore: un signore benedetto dal tedesco vestito d’oro che accoglie con "cioia" il suo pesare con il tallone il diritto dei cittadini. Dunque occorre che la costituzione sia resa inefficace, le leggi siano piegate al suo tornaconto, la giustizia sia messa al suo servizio, l’unico pensiero consentito sia il suo panegirico, altre ipotesi sarebbero sopruso, eversione, blasfemia, perversità, "comunismo". Gli uomini giusti sono, pertanto, lo stalliere mafioso, il Ghedini, l’unico avvocato in ogni tempo e latitudine che invece di difendere il proprio cliente con le memorie difensive in tribunale, lo fa intoccabile con i decreti legge, l’Emilio Fede e la Vespa, i mezzani al cospetto dei quali una schiava del sesso rumena è pura come una Giovanna D’Arco.
Dicevamo che in ogni altro luogo la trovata del cavaliere sarebbe stata una follia, ma il nostro è il Paese in cui è rimasta la cultura fascista e alligna quella mafiosa, dove si resta soggiogati dalla furbizia e la valentia di godere ed usare del potere incostituzionale e delinquenziale di violare impunemente le leggi dello stato e le regole della convivenza civile e democratica.
E’ il Paese in cui tutti gli stragisti, i terroristi protetti dai servizi deviati e dalla mala politica, benchè responsabili di centinaia di orrendi delitti, sono impuniti e liberi.
E’ il Paese dove un personaggio per sette volte presidente del consiglio è stato giudicato colluso con la mafia, benchè, forse per rispettare ed ossequiare un potente, le sue responsabilità siano state fatte fermare in tempo per la prescrizione del reato; e tuttavia, non essendo per nulla contemplata nell’allegro e scioperato Paese la responsabilità politica, siede a vita nel senato della Repubblica, è mancato poco non fosse eletto alla seconda carica dello stato e non ha mai dismesso le buone frequentazioni con le gerarchie ecclesiastiche.
E’ il Paese dove gli scandalosi delitti e reati d’impresa sono numerosi e rovinosi per i cittadini quanto l’opera delle cavallette, ma pare che ciò sia tranquillamente sistema, e quei grossi mascalzoni possono fare fiche al diritto e al Padreterno, occupando le coste coi loro yacht, il territorio con le loro ville da nababbi, ostentando le gioie delle loro mogli e amanti, intoccabili e sempre dorati.
E’ il Paese dove è possibile, con la condiscendenza dell’opinione pubblica ormai comatosa, sospendere centomila processi a carico di stupratori, sfruttatori della prostituzione, torturatori in divisa, ricettatori, corruttori, fraudolenti, per l’unico scopo di fermarne uno solo.
E’ il Paese in cui, benchè tanto grave sia la deriva morale, culturale ed etica della comunità oriunda, se ne è individuato il male nelle zingarelle che chiedono l’elemosina e nei bambini rom, ai quali si prenderanno le impronte digitali(ah, che "cioia"!), nei clandestini che cercano di dimenticare nell’alcool lo sfruttamento seivaggio, negli extracomunitari che aggiungono la loro violenza disperata da esclusi a quella, ben più allarmante degli insospettabili tra le pareti domestiche.
Così si può ascoltare un certo Gasparri, debolissima intelligenza che giornalmente apre bocca in nome della maggioranza, dire: "Veltroni taccia e faccia opposizione". Inconsapevolmente, come i poveri intelletti, ci conferma l’essenza del berlusconismo: marasma mentale e principi di totalitarismo.
