Lowes Creek County Park's ugly little secret. Literally tons of tires and rubber controlling erosion above the creek itself. Eau Claire, WI.
The wraps have come off London’s largest ever urban art work, a vast mural on two sides of a six-storey building in King’s Cross.
Four street graffiti artists worked for three weeks to create the geometric design on the outside of a block on the corners of Euston Road and Belgrove Street.
The artists — London based Remi/Rough, Edinburgh’s Steve More, LX.One from Paris and LA-based Augustine Kofie — used 160 litres of spray paint and 150 litres of emulsion.
Mark Wilkie, of design agency The Narrative, which organised the project, said: “We wanted to celebrate everything great about this urban environment.”
The work was commissioned to mark the opening of a new “urban diner” in the building called Karpo.

The model is radio controlled and goes forwards/backwards and left/right. Another feature of this RC Land Rover is that when you go forwards two head lights come on and when in reverse to rear lights come on. These can be removed if wished by the winning bidder and replaced with super bright LEDS from maplins. The model comes with a full battenburg livery that is hand cut and can't be found anywhere else. The Model even has a replica lightbar that looks just like the real thing, this lightbar doesn't have working lights however I am willing to tell the winning bidder where to purchase working LED pulse style lights perfect for this lightbar. This model really does look the part and will be a great addition along side anyones 1:14 Tamiya Truck! Every detail that has been added to the livery of the model is as close to real vehicles in use with LAS as possible. This model is a spitting image of a modern ambulance car that can be seen out and about on patrol in around the UK.

This Great Lakes self-unloading bulk carrier was built as hull #417 by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Co., Manitowoc, WI for the American Steamship Co. (Boland & Cornelius, managers), Buffalo, NY. She was launched May 9th, 1953 as the John J. Boland (3) and is one of three near sister vessels built by this shipyard. The other two vessels are the John G. Munson built as hull #415 for the USS Great Lakes Fleet still actively sailing, and the Detroit Edison built as hull #418 also for the American Steamship Co. A grounding in northern Lake Michigan on December 22nd, 1980 ended the Detroit Edison’s career on the Great Lakes.
Burning heavy fuel oil, the vessel is powered by a De Laval cross compound steam turbine engine built by De Laval Steam Turbine Co., Trenton, NJ, normally rated at 7,000 s.h.p. The self-unloader is equipped with double Helical gear reduction and two Foster-Wheeler water tube boilers and has a maximum service speed of 16.1 m.p.h. She is equipped with a bow thruster. Her 30 hatches service 6 holds where she is capable of carrying 20,200 tons (20,525 tonnes) at a mid-summer draft of 26'02" (7.98m). This vessel was one of the last to be built with telescoping hatch covers. A double bucket type self-unloading system feeds a forward mounted 250 foot (76.2m) discharge boom that can be swung 120 degrees to port or starboard. The self-unloader is classified by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) as a bulk carrier for Great Lakes service and displaces 7,740 tons (7,864 tonnes) lightweight.
This vessel was the third lake boat to carry the John J. Boland name. Mr. John James Boland was born in Buffalo, NY September 20th, 1875. He had developed a vessel brokerage business and in 1904, formed a partnership with Mr. Adam E. Cornelius resulting in the firm Boland & Cornelius which further resulted in the formation of the American Steamship Company in 1907. Mr. Boland died October 3rd, 1956.
The John J. Boland’s first cargo was a load of limestone on September 25th, 1953 from Port Inland, MI for a lower lakes port. Her cargoes remained focused in the stone and coal trades throughout her tenure with the American Steamship Co. Of note; on December 16th, 1973, her discharge boom fell onto the dock at the Pulliam Power Plant, Green Bay, WI and was completely destroyed. The cause of the incident was reported to have been broken support cables. The boom was replaced by Bay Shipbuilding, Sturgeon Bay, WI in March of 1974. The John J. Boland continued sailing through until the mid-eighties when she was laid up with an uncertain future.
In the early 1990’s; American Steamship Co. refit the John J. Boland including upgrading her instruments and remodeling her cabins. She was returned to service on her usual trade routes until she was laid up again at Superior, WI’s Fraser Shipyards on December 27th, 1998. Her more modern and efficient fleet mate, the Adam E. Cornelius had been returned to ASC after coming off a long term lease with Central Marine Logistics. The Boland’s trade routes were to be taken over by the much newer Cornelius with the resulting announcement that the John J. Boland would not sail the 1999 navigation season.
On October 22nd, 1999; after 46 years of service to her original owners, Lower Lakes Towing Ltd., Port Dover, Ont. announced the purchase of the John J. Boland from American Steamship Co. The vessel was taken in tow from the Fraser Shipyards to the Government Dock, Sarnia, Ont. by the tug Roger Stahl owned by Detroit’s Gaelic Tug Boat Co. She received a refit, upgrades, and a coat of Lower Lakes grey for her hull. The vessel was christened Saginaw (3) on November 20th, 1999 in honor of Michigan’s Saginaw River; an artery leading to many of her new owner’s key customers.
Of note; in early 2000, the modern American Steamship Co. self-unloader Charles E. Wilson was renamed John J. Boland (4) to continue the name in the fleet co-founded by Mr. Boland nearly a century ago.
The first vessel to carry the Saginaw name was a wooden steamer built in 1866 by Thomas Arnold of Marine City, MI. Her dimensions were 194.42’ (59.26m) long x 27.66’ (8.43m) wide x 11.58’ (3.53m) deep, and 707.47 gross tons (718.83 tonnes). The vessel’s enrollment was surrendered November 4th, 1913 at Rochester, NY as “abandoned”. The second Saginaw was ironically built by the Manitowoc Shipbuilding Co., Manitowoc, WI in 1919. The steel hulled vessel was launched as the Coperas for the U.S. Shipping Board but entered service too late for service in WWI. The vessel was named Saginaw (2) following her acquisition by Saginaw Dock & Terminal Co., Cleveland, OH in 1937. She sailed under this name until being sold to the U.S. Navy September 27th, 1941 when she was renamed USS Matinicus (AG-38). She was renamed Saginaw in 1946, then renamed Ramsdal in 1948 after being sold and registered in Finland. She was scrapped in Finland in 1967 bearing the name Transdal.
The Saginaw (3), now registered Canadian, departed Sarnia on her maiden voyage for her new owners in December 4th, 1999 sailing light for the Lafarge Construction Materials quarry at Meldrum Bay, Ont. where she loaded stone destined for Marysville, MI. The Saginaw’s cargoes now could include stone, aggregates, coal, wheat, or salt. Much of the 2004 season was spent trading on Lake Superior with cargoes of coal from Thunder Bay, Ont. to Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. (Algoma Steel) and wheat cargoes from Thunder Bay, Ont. to ports such as Owen Sound and Goderich, Ont..
Of recent note, on December 6th, 2002; the Saginaw damaged her rudder in the channel above Lock 7 of the Welland Canal in Thorold, Ont. while attempting to turn and dock to unload at the Welland Canal's Wharf 6 in Thorold. After unloading, the Saginaw proceeded under her own power with the assistance of Nadro Marine's tug Miseford to Heddle Marine in Hamilton, Ont. for repair. On April 4th, 2003; the vessel became stuck in ice outside Marquette, MI's harbor and was not freed until April 7th with the assistance of CCGS Samuel Risley. The Saginaw was the last commercial vessel to transit the Soo Locks thus closing the locks for the 2003 navigation season on January 23rd, 2004. She had a cargo of coal from Duluth, MN bound for Nanticoke, Ont.
The Saginaw laid up at the north slip in Sarnia, Ont. for the last time as a steam powered vessel on December 31, 2007. Over the next several months, her steam plant was removed and replaced by a new MaK 6M43C 6-cylinder 8,160 BHP diesel engine. Combined with a newly installed controllable pitch propeller, this new powerplant is capable of pushing her at upwards of 16 mph and has resulted in better than expected vessel performance and fuel consumption. Returning to service in June 2008, this substantial upgrade ensures the Saginaw will be an efficient, productive asset as part of the Lower Lakes fleet for many years to come.
Of recent note, the Saginaw suffered a boom collapse on December 31, 2011 while loading coal in Thunder Bay, Ont. destined for Essar Steel Algoma in Sault Ste. Marie. Repairs were completed at the dock in Thunder Bay and she arrived at Essar to unload on January 20, 2012.

SALAMPASU (ASALAMPASU, BASALAMPASU, MPASU)
Democratic Republic of the Congo
The 60,000 Salampasu people live east of the Kasai River, on the frontier between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Angola. Their name is said to mean “hunters of locusts”, but they were widely viewed with terror by adjacent groups. They maintain strong commercial and cultural relations with their southern neighbors, the Chokwe and the Lunda, to whom they pay tribute. The Salampasu are homogeneous people governed by territorial chiefs, who supervise village chiefs. Their hierarchical power structure is counterbalanced by a warriors' society. A people with a reputation as fearless warriors, the Salampasu have retained the custom of a rough and primitive life. Warring and hunting are privileged occupations, but the women do some farming.
Salampasu masks were integral part of the warriors’ society whose primary task was to protect this small enclave against invasions by outside kingdoms. Boys were initiated into the warriors’ society through a circumcision camp, and then rose through its ranks by gaining access to a hierarchy of masks. Earning the right to wear a mask involved performing specific deeds and large payments of livestock, drink and other material goods. Once a man ‘owned’ the mask, other ‘owners’ taught this new member particular esoteric knowledge associated with it. The Salampasu use masks made from wood, crocheted raffia, and wood covered with sheets of copper. Famous Salampasu masks made for initiation purposes are characterized by a bulging forehead, slanted eyes, a triangular nose and a rectangular mouth displaying intimidating set of teeth. The heads are often covered with bamboo or raffia or rattan-like decorations. Presented in a progressive order to future initiates, they symbolize the three levels of the society: hunters, warriors, and the chief. Certain masks provoke such terror that women and children flee the village when they hear the mask's name pronounced for fear they will die on the spot. Wooden masks covered or not covered with copper sheets are worn by members of the ibuku warrior association who have killed in battle. The masks made of plaited raffia fiber are used by the idangani association. Throughout the southern savannah region copper was a prerogative of leadership, used to legitimize a person’s or a group’s control of the majority of the people. Possessing many masks indicated not only wealth but also knowledge. Filing teeth making part of many wooden masks was part of the initiation process for both boys and girls designed to demonstrate the novices’ strength and discipline. Salampasu masquerades were held in wooden enclosures decorated with anthropomorphic figures carved in relief. The costume, composed of animal skins, feathers, and fibers, is as important as the mask itself. It has been sacralized, and the spirit dwells within it. Masks are still being danced as part of male circumcision ceremonies.

Diefenbunker: Canada's Cold War Museum
MESSAGE CONTROL CENTRE
Coded messages would have flooded into the Bunker during a nuclear attack. Throughout CFS Corp's operational years during the Cold War, the Message Control Centre (MCC) had to sort them quickly and accurately.
Staff at the MCC logged, processed, duplicated, and distributed all incoming and messages. They also had to ensure outgoing messages were authenticated and formatted before transmission. Even small errors could be catastrophic in a crisis.
Five staff members per shift handled outside messages, as well as the internal message system within the Bunker.
Notice the pass-through slot in the wall-cryptographers in the next room were ready to decode incoming messages and encode those being sent out.
