Bekonscot in Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, is the oldest original model village in the world. It portrays aspects of England mostly dating from the 1930s.
Bekonscot was first created by a Beaconsfield resident, accountant Roland Callingham (1881–1961), in the 1920s. He developed the master plan for his miniature empire as an addition to his large back garden, drawing in help from his staff: the gardener, cook, maid and chauffeur. Together they developed the model landscape portraying rural England at the time. The swimming pool became the first "sea" and the undulating rockeries were built up as hills. Bassett-Lowke, the large-scale model railway manufacturers, were commissioned to build an extensive Gauge 1 railway network for the project. Callingham named the village 'Bekonscot' after Beaconsfield and Ascot where he previously lived.
Bekonscot was not conceived as a commercial visitor attraction but as a plaything to entertain Callingham and his guests. It was only after 1930 that its existence became widely known, catching the imagination of the press and public alike. Frequent newsreels such as Pathé, international, and national newspaper coverage ensured a steady stream of visitors, all of whom were invited to make a donation to the Railway Benevolent Institution.
Bekonscot has been run by the Church Army since 1978 and donates large amounts of money to charity. It has raised the equivalent of almost £5,000,000 so far and has been visited by more than 14,000,000 visitors.
Legacy
Bekonscot is acknowledged to be the inspiration for many other model villages and miniature parks across the world, including Babbacombe, Southport, Tucktonia, Madurodam, Bourton-on-the-Water, Wimborne, Great Yarmouth, Clonakilty and Mini-Europe. As such, it is regarded as the "grandfather" of the model village and miniature park movement.
The village expanded in size throughout the first half of the 20th century. Callingham sold off much of the land surrounding the model village, all of which is now a housing estate. The village is now entirely surrounded by urban development so further expansion is impossible.
Bekonscot popularised the miniature park movement, put Beaconsfield on the map and has a continuing financial legacy in donations to charitable organisations both national and local.
Miniature landscape
The site is approximately two acres of which just over half is a miniature 1:12 landscape. Buildings are constructed in natural materials, concrete, or dense foamboard; many are originals from the 1920s.
There are six model villages set within the miniature landscape. These are entirely fictional towns, but many buildings within them are based on UK prototypes. Successive generations of modelmakers, gardeners and craftsmen have left their mark on their subjects, which display a wide range of vernacular architectural styles.
Currently there are 12 full-time staff who maintain the village throughout the year; during the open season a further 20 or so seasonal staff are employed.
Names of shops and other features include humorous puns, such as Lee Key Plumbers' Merchants ('Lee Key' = 'leaky'), Sam and Ella's Butchers ('salmonella') and the Mark Owney Wireless and Gramophone stores ('Marconi'). Other model villages have run with the playful nature of the miniature business names and it has become something of a model tradition.
Over the last year, an ongoing project to introduce more – smaller – moving models into the village has been underway. So far these have included a waving coal miner, a lady cleaning her window, a miniature children's play area, walking horses at a cider works, and even a painter falling from a ladder.

In February 1943, construction was begun in Oak Ridge on a graphite pile, which had been given the code name X-10. Though X-10 was under the jurisdiction of the University of Chicago, the staff was made-up largely of DuPont people. Everything connected with the project was kept secret;all classified materials were referred to by code name only. The English code name for uranium was "tuballoy."
The X-10 pile was still under construction when DuPont suddenly decided to switch to the water-cooling method & develop the model conceived by Dr. Eugene Wigner & his group. This was a major decision, announced by Crawford Greenewalt only after the company's careful study of the different methods. Work on helium cooling was abandoned, & the efforts of DuPonts's Design Division were concentrated exclusively on Wigner's model. Thus, the plutonium project followed a peculiar pattern: design & development were carried-out at the same time as the construction of the real plant & the building of the pilot plant. X-10 was completed in November, & although it could not serve as pilot for Hanford reactors, it produced small amounts of plutonium invaluable to the Los Alamos scientists as a research tool."

The M5 half-track (officially the Carrier, Personnel, Half-track, M5) was an American armored personnel carrier in use during World War II. It was developed in 1942 when existing manufacturers of the M2 half-track car, and M3 half-track could not keep up with production demand. International Harvester (IH) had capacity to produce a similar vehicle to the M3, but some differences from the M3 had to be accepted due to different production equipment. IH produced the M5 from December 1942 to October 1943.
Using the same chassis as their M5, IH could produce an equivalent to the M2, which was the M9 half-track. There were also variants of the M13 and M16 MGMCs based on the M5. The M13 and M16 were exported to the United Kingdom and to Soviet Union respectively. The M5 was supplied to Allied nations (the British Commonwealth, France, and the Soviet Union) under Lend-Lease. After WWII, the M5 was leased to many NATO countries. The Israel Defense Forces used it in several wars and developed it into the M3 Mark A and the M3 Mark B.
Paxton's, Hornsby Westfield. They developed this roll of film. I was not satisfied. I won't be returning. Ultimately they were worse (yet $3.05 cheaper) than Camera House at Warringah Mall. There were water marks, specks, and scratch streaks running the length of the entire roll. Much, much more than what I've had in the past. More shockingly, though, was the fact that the woman retrieving my film from the machine right in front of me didn't even use any gloves!! Her fingers even ended up all over the emulsion itself. Completely shocking that these people (film developers in general) treat their customer's film with such disrespect. Honestly it's getting exhausting buying the expensive film, the expensive scanner, the expensive camera, lenses, and so on and so on.... All that just for the person developing your film to treat it like nothing. I had to quit repairing this picture, there were just too many water specks on it I had to give up..

ZoomCharts at DevClub.lv: Developing a Javascript SDK
On January 15, 2015, ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CTO Viesturs Zariņš presented at DevClub.lv - a community of Latvian IT specialists that gather monthly and host free talks, presentations, and events to allow the local IT community to share knowledge, network, and communicate. Zariņš discussed the unique challenges faced in developing JavaScript SDK.
Here is a brief overview of his PowerPoint presentation on ZoomCharts, the world’s most interactive data visualization software that will support all your data presentation needs with incredible speed.
What is ZoomCharts?
What defines ZoomCharts advanced data visualization software? It is NOT another HTML5 charts library. It is:
- Interactive
- Fast
- Touch enabled
- Supports big data
A long time ago
DOS 6.2 allowed for:
- 320x240x8bpp
- Direct access to pixels on screen
- Assembler for performance
Today, the Web has finally caught up in the graphics department. Now, we have access to:
- Multiple browsers and rendering technologies
- Multiple resolutions
- Performance that varies by browser and device
Development setup:
- We write in JavaScript
- Commit to GitHub
- Build system in JavaScript
- Debug in Chrome
- Run automated tests
- Like WebStorm (and Vim)
Graphics:
Canvas (fast)
SVG (slow)
WebGL (>50%)
Interactive animations:
Zoom in and out of the graph, drag and drop data, all with your mouse or trackpad.
Graceful degradation:
High FPS (frames per second) lets you scale graphics with low image degradation.
Third party libraries:
- Raphael
- Hammer.js
- Leaflet
- Moment.js
Challenges:
- Responsive design: layouts can shift and look nice on desktop screens vs. not so nice on vertical, mobile screens
- Big screen resolutions: uses devicePixelRatio for sharp rendering, but no hardware acceleration beyond 2048x2048
- Safari compatibility: with 100% CPU, input events are blocked and browser locks up; strange code offers fixes
- HTML on canvas: DOM is slow; basic HTML markup must be parsed and rendered manually; text caching helps
Support:
- Process: TrialSupportBuy
- 1 day issue resolution
- #1 Tell me what I did wrong
- #2 Can you do…
Testing:
- Automated tests on every GIT push
Automatically:
- Compare images
- Record performance
- View errors in console
Interactive testing:
- Next step: record and playback
BrowserStack:
- Interactive mode
- Automated: Selenium API
Debugging:
Chrome Developer tools (F12)
- Debugging
- Profiling
- Timeline
Remote debugging available: developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging

The last few times I have developed Sahnaghai GP3 film in Rodinal 1:200 stand development for 2 hours, I have noticed a recurring problem.
You can see in the top right hand corners of the image, the blotches that are throughout the image.
Perhaps not enough developer is getting to the film throughout the stand development process?
I thought my Fixer may be exhausted but I have developed other films without this problem.
This problem seems to be consistent with the Shanghai GP3 .... Any thoughts on why this may be happening ?????

Together with Karel and neighbor boy Afra we made a new board game and tested it - the boys' sisters played along, too. Most of the rules were my idea, but they're subject to change as we test the game.
Everybody rolls 2 dice at every turn. One special die (made with the Lego die) and one regular one.
The special die has the following sides:
CLOSE - close the gates on the board
OPEN - open the gates
MONEY - get a chip
PURPLE - pay a chip
The regular die is for walking, of course. The figures can pick their route on crossings, but cannot go backwards.
Every player gets a 4x10 plate to put the chips (round 2x2 tiles) on; objective of the game is to collect 10 chips so that the plate is full.
There are the following special fields:
- White jumper plate = sing a song and earn a chip
- Brown jumper plate = do a dance and earn a chip
- Red jumper plate = make a drawing and earn a chip
- Tan jumpuer plate = go two steps forward and earn a chip
- Field with a gold or silver ball = earn a chip and put the ball in the bucket. When the fourth ball goes in the buckets, all balls come back in the game at random
- Golden gate: must be open to pass. Earn a chip
- Start gate: must be open to pass
- 'Hit the wall': if you land on the field adjacent to the outer wall with the castle windows, you skip two turns
- Shelter: skip one turn
- Stop sign: skip one turn
- Arrow tile: roll again
- Field with soccer ball: go to the field before the golden gate and put the soccer ball somewhere else
- Antenna: go to the field before the golden gate
Things that need to change:
- Maybe the routing isn't clear enough. Madelief insisted on turning left where she couldn't (hence the pout), maybe I should add an arrow sign. (The way she went about, she'd skip the bit with the gate)
- I designed the game with just one OPEN and two CLOSE sides on the special die, but kids are waiting behind closed gates too much.
- That START gate was annoying. Everybody was waiting for the gate to open and got fed up. It should go.
-Reaching 10 chips may take too long. Maybe I should use smaller plates or let the game end when the first player reaches the slide.
The Snail Shell Assassin figure recently released, and I got mine in a few days ago. Like Figma, Snail Shell has a very competent body that they tweak and provide for use in developing figures for the assortment of interesting character designs.
So I don't know the official names or anything, but this figure basically has two forms - some strange hybrid cybernetic animal form, and of course, the expected Waifu in skintight jumpsuit form.
It's an interesting design aesthetic, though for an assassin she seems awfully under armed, featuring a knife and a Grapnel Gun. The sheath for the knife and the harness for the Grapnel Gun plug directly into her lower spine. The interesting thing is that the hands are only meant to hold the knife - the Grapnel Gun is directly deployed from her harness... or that's what I think, as there's no real instructons.
Grapnel Gun comes with a coiled wire as well as three different tips, one for use when the tip has not been fired, and two actual projectiles to use with the wire.
Assassin is a return to average height for one of their figures, as Milk T Girl was just really short, though to be fair she was also really cheap to buy.
The cyborg mode head features multiple joints for articulation in the neck, covered with a fabric piece to hid the joints. There's also a joint at the base of the head, so overall this giraffe necked sculpt is actually very articulated. Compared to the normal head, which features effectively no neck articulation and limited head tilt, this feels somewhat like a step back.
Articulation has generally not been an issue with Snail Shell figures, and this is no different. mainly lacking a waist and butterfly shoulder joints. I've never removed the legs of any of the other figures (but this one I have to in order to swap out the groin pieces, and I notied the the hip design actually features some robust designs to allow for increased range of let motion without relying on a pull down hip design. The tail is actually articulated, tough the connection looks so fragile I'm afraid to actually manipulate the piece too much.
As always, use of the base will increase your posing options, and the base has cavities for you to store you spare pieces.
The two face plates are functional, and I can only presume they look like the source art. I can say, however, they're solid in terms of looking anime in nature, though again I wonder if this is simply because art direction insisted. There seems to be more rouge around the eyes on the finished product compared to the prototypes, and this shows up on the photos.
Otherwise, Paint and Build wise, pretty much on par with other Snail Shell items. in case you weren't aware, that is basically Storm Collectibles level of quality that should be coming out from these sets. Some questionable design choices as i've outlined above, but overall the figure certainly holds together than product from other companies.
First pictures developed from my "new" (expired 1993) 9x12 Fuji 160 NSP film.
9x12 is the european equivalent of 4x5. Film holders have the same external dimensions, but film area and dark slides are different.
I shot the film at ISO 100 with my Crown Graphic. Developed in Tetenal Colortek C41.
Although a 19 year old film, I am pleased with the results - colours are good, film is a bit grainy, but acceptable.

From Wikipedia:
"Developed in African-American communities in the United States, the Charleston became a popular dance craze in the wider international community during the 1920s. Despite its origins, the Charleston is most frequently associated with white flappers and the speakeasy. Here, these young women would dance alone or together as a way of mocking the "drys," or citizens who supported the Prohibition amendment, as the Charleston was then considered quite immoral and provocative."
I love fancy dress parties, and I'm always getting hold stuff that could be useful as vintage fancy themed outfits. I'm weak for hats and head ornaments, so this sparkly number just caught me!
I couldn't quite reflect all the drama, I envisioned for this photo, but there you go!
From the Queensland Heritage Register.
"Yungaba" is a two-storey brick institutional building designed as an immigrant depot in 1885 by John James Clark, colonial architect for Queensland. Following his dismissal shortly after, the plan was developed by Edward Henry Alder and Robert Henry Mills. Constructed by William Peter Clark, the building is described as being of Italianate/Queensland/ Institutional style.
Following the subdivision of Kangaroo Point in 1843-44, lots 21 and 22 were purchased by Judah and Isaac Solomon and Thomas Adams. Some time later John "Tinker" Campbell, a neighbouring land-owner, purchased a share in both lots and transferred his boiling-down works to that location to gain the benefit of the small stream which crossed the properties. Following a series of financial transactions, the land was eventually purchased by Robert Douglas in 1853 for £400. Douglas constructed a house on lot 21 which he named "The Willows". Douglas was a prominent and popular person in Brisbane society at that time although some scandal arose when it was revealed that he had sold his Kangaroo Point property to the government for £14,000 in 1884.
The government had been aware for some time that the immigration facilities at William Street were inadequate for their needs. The decision to acquire the land at Kangaroo Point was justified by the need to provide 'pleasant surroundings' for those who were recently arrived in the colony. The pattern of immigration fluctuated wildly over the years and the period immediately preceding the construction of the Kangaroo Point depot, immigration had been at an all time high.
William Peter Clark, the successful tenderer for the work, ran into a series of difficulties with the construction which resulted in almost a year's delay in the completion. The interior layout was designed by William Hodgen and arranged in a manner typical of institutional buildings of the time. Married quarters were in the form of separate cubicles on the ground level, and single quarters (segregated by gender, and in dormitory form) on the upper level. Symmetrical pairs of laundry and privy facilities were ranged to the rear of the building.
The first administrator was William Edward Parry-Okeden. Parry-Okeden was already a highly competent and practical man with a reputation for fair-dealing and vigorous commitment to his occupation. He and his family moved to Brisbane from Blackall to take up his appointment at the Immigration Depot. Later in life he was to be appointed Under Colonial Secretary and to play an active role in both the management of Aborigines, the organisation of the Native Police and the resolution of the shearers' strikes. Following the floods of 1887, Parry-Okeden and his wife refurbished "The Willows" which continued as their residence during his four years as immigration agent.
From the outset Parry Okeden saw that a number of critical issues needed to be addressed before the depot could operate efficiently. Problems dogged the project throughout its early years. From the start, difficulties were experienced due to poor drainage resulting from the re-direction of the natural drainage into a stormwater drain. Subsequent drainage works had varying degrees of success but the building soon showed signs of rising damp which was exacerbated by the poor quality bricks used during construction. Gas and water connections were either very basic or completely absent from vital parts of the building, there was no wharf facility at which to disembark the immigrants and, once landed, there was no facility for isolating those suspected of suffering contagious disease.
For a long time it was argued that the damp problem was a result of rain beating on the sides of the building, rather than due to poor site drainage. In 1891 the verandahs on the eastern end of the northern side of the building were extended to shelter the walls from the rain. A matching verandah extension at the western end was not constructed until 1899 as the expense was considered too great when the source of the damp had not been proven. The later extension was made to regain the symmetry of the facade, rather than as a means of protecting the walls from the rain.
Wharf facilities were provided at the river bank in 1887 with a large luggage shed on the river bank. Parry-Okeden pointed out that the design was less than practical since a wide gap had been left between the two structures. At high tide the wharf was cut off from land by a twelve foot expanse of water. At low water the wharf was inaccessible from the river due to the shallow water at this point. Repeated requests were necessary before the problems were rectified.
An outbreak of scarlet fever in 1889 lent urgency to the already noted need for isolation wards in which to treat sick immigrants. The same year a facility was constructed, but, due to an oversight in the plans, it had no facilities for the provision of gas or water or for the disposal of waste and storm water. Similar problems dogged the long awaited 'disinfecting plant' which was first vandalised and later inundated due to faulty drainage.
When immigration levels were low, the building was used for a variety of purposes. In 1900 it served as temporary accommodation for the inmates of the Dunwich Asylum which had been appropriated as an isolation ward for plague victims. In 1904-'06 it was again appropriated as accommodation for South Sea Islanders being repatriated under the new Commonwealth laws. The arrival of an immigrant ship led to the re-location of the Islanders to rented accommodation nearby as it was considered inappropriate to expect the "two races" to co-habit.
The outbreak of World War I led to another change in use, the building being requisitioned for use as a military hospital. Few alterations to the fabric occurred as a consequence, although two single-storey wards were constructed to the southeast of the building. At the end of the war, the building provided an ideal reception area for returning servicemen who, with their wives, were feted at public receptions. Most of the building activity associated with this phase was removed at the end of the war.
From the end of WWI and throughout the '20s, immigration swelled. The Great Depression of the 1930s led to a rapid fall in numbers, exacerbated by the cancellation of the assisted passage schemes. In 1938 the assistance scheme was reinstated and numbers rapidly climbed, only to fall again with the commencement of WWII.
During the period of inactivity in the 1930s, the building was used to house the team working on the construction of the Story Bridge. Accommodation for the superintendent of works, J. J. C. Bradfield, was provided in the eastern room on the ground floor of the north wing. The entire upper floor of the north wing was devoted to offices and drafting rooms for the works in progress. Four dormer windows were inserted into the roof of the North wing dormitory to provide additional light for the draftsmen. The team for the concurrent Stanley River Dam project were relegated to a large room on the lower floor
The bridge construction was undertaken by Evans Deakin, who converted the immigration depot's grounds into an industrial site with workshops and storehouses. A row of three open sheds cut off the connection between the hostel and the river, remaining in place until some time after the works were completed. The bridge is carried on tall stone pylons across the site to the rear of the principal building. The danger from falling debris and intentionally thrown objects has resulted in the need to identify an easement across the property on which no buildings can be constructed.
With the commencement of WWII the hostel was used to accommodated a hundred women and children evacuated from Hong Kong in 1940. In 1941 the depot was once again converted into a hospital, treating general patients. In 1942 it was devoted to 'special' cases - those soldiers suffering the effects of venereal diseases. The buildings along the river frontage continued to be occupied by Evans Deakin, however most of the other structures on the site were used for the treatment of patients. Most of these buildings are now demolished.
The post-war immigration boom led to a renewed life for the building which was now named Yungaba State Immigration Office and Reception Centre. The name "Yungaba" derives from the Gubbi Gubbi Aboriginal language from the Maroochy area and means "place of sunshine". The volume of post-war immigration was such that the hostel was unable to cope with more than a small proportion of new arrivals, and the bulk were re-directed to the many empty military camps around the city. Of these, Camp Columbia at Wacol was perhaps the best known.
This period saw what were probably the most extensive alterations to the building that have occurred to date. Cubicles were provided in the downstairs dormitories, toilet facilities were re-modelled or re-built, the kitchen was enlarged and refurbished and the exterior brickwork was limewashed. In the period since, the building has been subjected to various minor intrusions and alterations, with the removal of the verandahs and their reconstruction in 1990 being a major impact on the original fabric. Poor management and an inadequate maintenance program have contributed to loss of fabric, and the various internal subdivisions have had a negative impact on the effectiveness of the internal ventilation designed into the building by William Hodgen. In 1993 the building was refitted to provide office accommodation for the Department of Family Services. This refit involved the demolition of the partitions in the North wing. The access to the river was regained following the demolition of the sheds occupied by Evans Deakin and the new accommodation facilities erected in the 1970s respected this important axis.
In 1988 Yungaba became the first building to entered on the Queensland Estate Register maintained under the Cultural Record (Landscapes Queensland and Queensland Estate) Act 1987. The entry was a result of community concern over the impact of the re-development of Kangaroo Point and the need to conserve significant elements of the community's heritage.
