Development art for the Thai film "Khan Kluay". The art team and I worked together for a year just getting the look of the film down. Basing images on the script that co-director Aaron Sorensen, and writer Ariel Prendergast , and I were putting together.
There were some amazing artists at Kantana, including my pal, production designer, Prachanue "The Nue" Noree, who helped lead the art team.
Khan Kluay is different from a lot of my other work in that it was designed for the "Wide Screen" cinema, trying to get the feeling of a "Thai Epic". But still following the same simple "Shape Principles" of design. Designing for wide screen is fun, but challenging. At the time we were trying to make the compositions work for both the movie theaters, and the cut-off on people tv's at home.

The mills are an important feature of Maynard's development. The earliest saw and grist mills were built in the early 18th century. Two of the earliest mills were the Puffer Mill and the Asa Smith's Mill, which were located on Taylor Brook and Mill Street, respectively. These were the first mills to use the Assabet River for power; therefore, they were very slow and sluggish. The grist and saw mill were then followed by paper mills, which were built starting in 1820.
The Mill is easily Maynard's most prominent feature. The complex takes up 11 acres in the middleof what we call downtown. The Mill complex began in 1847 as set of wooden buildings used to manufacture carpets and carpet yarn. Amory Maynard helped construct this mill. His partner, William H. Knight, helped him build a dam across the Assabet and dug a canal channeling a portion of the river into what is called Mill Pond. The Mill changed hands a few times but it would eventually become the largest woolen factory in the world till the 1930s.
The 1950's ushered in a change from textiles to businesses like computer manufacturing. With the start of the final decade of the century the Mill is on the cusp of being transformed again.
It is said that "as the Mill goes, so goes Maynard". While the town isn't as dependent on the Mill as it was in 19th century it continues to play an important role in shaping the character of the town.
We hope you enjoy this historical perspective of the Mill. It has been pieced together from a variety of sources and continues to be enriched as we discover new materials to include, increase the number of hyperlinks and add pictures, diagrams, and sound..
The Mill from 1847 to 1977
The site of the mill was once part of the town of Sudbury, while the opposite bank of the Assabet River belonged to Stow. The present town, formed in 1871, was named for the man most responsible for its development, Amory Maynard.
Born in 1804, Maynard was running his own sawmill business at the age of sixteen. In the 1840's, he went into partnership with a carpet manufacturer for whom he'd done contracting. They dammed up the Assabet and diverted water into a millpond to provide power for a new mill, which opened in 1847, producing carpet yarn and carpets. Only one of the original mill buildings survives: it was moved across Main Street and now is an apartment house.
Amory Maynard's carpet firm failed in the business panic of 1857. But the Civil War allowed the Assabet Manufacturing Company, organized in 1862 with Maynard as the managing "agent", to prosper by producing woolens, flannels and blankets for the army. This work was carried on in new brick mill buildings.
Expansion of the mill over many years is evidenced by the variations in the architecture of the structures still standing.
The oldest portion of Building 3 dates from 1859, making it the oldest part of the mill in existence today, but several additions were made afterwards. Buildings constructed in the late 1800's frequently featured brick arches over the windows, and at times new additions were made to match neighboring structures.
The best-known feature is the clock donated in memory of Amory Maynard by his son Lorenzo in 1892. Its four faces, each nine feet in diameter, are mechanically controlled by a small timer inside the tower. Neither the timer nor the bell mechanism has ever been electrified; custodians still climb 120 steps to wind the clock every week- 90 turns for the timer and 330 turns for the striker.
Amory Maynard died in 1890, but his son and grandson still held high positions in the mill's management. The family's local popularity plummeted, however, when the Assabet Manufacturing Company failed late in 1898. Workers lost nearly half of their savings which they had deposited with the company, since there were no banks in town. Their disillusionment nearly resulted in changing the town's name from Maynard to Assabet.
Prosperity returned in 1899 when the American Woolen Company, an industrial giant, bought the Assabet Mills and began to expand them, adding most of the structures now standing. The biggest new unit was Building 5, 610 feet long which contained more looms than any other woolen mill in the world. Building 1, completed in 1918, is the newest; the mill pond had been drained to permit construction of its foundation. These buildings have little decoration, but their massiveness is emphasized by the buttress-like brick columns between their windows.
The turn of the century saw a changeover from gas to electric lights at the mill. Until the 1930's the mill generated not only its own power but also electricity for Maynard and several other towns. For years the mill used 40-cycle current. Into the late 1960's power produced by a water wheel was used for outdoor lighting, including the Christmas tree near Main Street. The complex system of shafts and belts once used to distribute power from a central source was rendered obsolete by more efficient small electric motors, just as inexpensive minicomputers have often replaced terminals tied to one large processor.
As the mill grew, so did the town. Even in 1871, the nearly 2,000 people who became Maynard's first citizens outnumbered the people left in either Sudbury or Stow. Maynard's first population almost doubled in the decade between 1895 and 1905, when reached nearly 7,000 people. Most of the workers lived in houses owned by the company, many of which have been refurbished and are used today. The trains that served th town and the mill, however, are long gone - the depot site is now occupied by a gas station.
Most of the original mill workers had been local Yankees and Irish immigrants. But by the early 1900's, the Assabet Mills were employing large numbers of newcomers from Finland, Poland, Russia and Italy. The latest arrivals were often escorted to their relatives or friends by obliging post office workers. The immigrants made Maynard a bustling, multi-ethnic community while Stow, Sudbury and Acton remained small, rural villages. Farmers and their families rode the trolley to Maynard to shop and to visit urban attractions then unknown in their own towns, including barrooms and movie houses.
Wages were low and the hours were long. Early payrolls show wages of four cents an hour for a sixty hour week. Ralph Sheridan of the Maynard Historical Society confirmed that in 1889 his eldest brother was making 5 1/2 cents an hour in the mill's rag shop at the age of fourteen, while their father was earning 16 1/2 cents per hour in the boiler room. (As of 1891 one-eighth of the workers were less than 16 years old, and one-quarter were women.)
Sheridan's own first job at the mill, in the summer of 1915, paid $6.35 for a work week limited to 48 hours by child labor laws. The indestructible "bullseye" safe still remains in the old Office Building.
Sheridan remembers the bell that was perched on top of Building 3:
"...the whistle on the engine room gave one blast at quarter of the hour, and then at about five minutes of the hour the gave one blast again. And everyone was supposed to be inside the gate when that second whistle blew. And then at one minute of the hour this bell rang just once, a quick ring- and we referred to it as "The Tick" because of that..... everybody was supposed to start work at that time, at that moment."
A worker was sent home if he'd forgotten to wear his employee's button, marked "A.W.Co.,Assabet".
The millhands really had to work, too. Sheridan recalls one winter evening when there was such a rush to get out an order of cloth for Henry Ford that the men were ordered to invoice it from the warehouse, now Building 21, instead of from the usual shipping room:
"There was no heat in the building, never had been. And it was so cold that I remember that I had to cut the forefinger and the thumb from the glove that I was wearing in order to handle the pencil to do the invoicing....the yard superintendant at the time brought in some kerosene lanterns and put 'em under our chairs to keep our feet warm."
Building 21, built out over the pond, remained unheated until DIGITAL took it over.
As in most Northern mill towns, labor relations were often troubled. In 1911 the company used Poles to break the strike of Finnish workers. When no longer able to play off one nationality against another, management for years took advantage of rivalries between different unions. The Great Depression hit the company hard, however. In 1934 it sold all the houses it owned, mostly to the employees who lived in them; and New Deal labor laws encouraged the workers to form a single industrial union, which joined the C.I.O.
World War II brought a final few years of good times to the woolens industry. The mill in Maynard operated around the clock with over two thousand employees producing such items as blankets and cloth for overcoats for the armed forces. But when peace returned, the long-term trends resumed their downward drift, and in 1950 the American Woolen Company shut down its Assabet Mills entirely. Like many New England mills, Maynard's had succumbed to a combination of Southern and foreign competition, relatively high costs and low productivity, and the growing use of synthetic fibers.
'Til then a one-industry town, Maynard was in trouble. In 1953, however, ten Worcester businessmen bought the mill and began leasing space to tenants, some of which were established firms, while others were just getting started. One of the new companies which found the low cost of Maynard Industries' space appealing was Digital Equipment Corporation, which started operations in 8,680 square feet in the mill in 1957.

The Taveta weaver (Ploceus castaneiceps) is a striking bird species native to East Africa, particularly found in areas of southern Kenya and northern Tanzania. It is known for its vibrant chestnut-colored head and yellow body, with males displaying more vivid plumage during the breeding season to attract mates. This social species is often seen in large flocks, building intricate, hanging nests in trees, and primarily feeds on seeds and insects, typically in grasslands and savanna habitats.

GoServ Global Development Director Chris Caswell talks about GoServ and Sukup Manufacturing Company's Safe T Home® and the 500 Safe T Homes that survived the earthquake in Haiti, how Sukup employees gladly work to produce the parts and how charitable groups help with the costs and labor to build the homes where needed around the world and nationally, while at the Farm Progress Show in Boone, IA, on August 31, 2022. They showcase a highly modified grain bin resistant to earthquakes, termites, and moisture. Grain bin houses or silo homes have provided disaster relief to families worldwide with day-to-day shelter for those who need a safe place to live.
A devastating earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, destroying homes, businesses, and facilities. During the recovery period, their teams saw an opportunity to build cost-effective refugee housing that would withstand natural disasters.
These homes have withstood Hurricane Matthew's 145-mile-per-hour winds for the 8-hour duration with minimal damage. Since then, they have provided nearly 300 silo homes in Haiti, as well as homes in Uganda for refugee children fleeing from South Sudan, Peru, and Kenya.
A Safe T Home® costs $5,700 for nonprofits intending to use the grain bin house for humanitarian efforts. Approximately ten homes fit on one shipping container. Other installation costs for shipping and building the cement foundation can bring the prices to roughly $7,500 for one of these homes.
The overall round design withstands high winds, while the near-zero seismic load is virtually earthquake-proof. Inside, 254 sq. ft. provides families with long-term refugee housing or short-term disaster relief.
These homes made of 20-gauge galvanized steel have a 75-year life expectancy. These silo homes measure 18 ft. in diameter with eight ft. sidewalls. They stand 13.5 ft. from the bottom to the roof peak.
The double roof system deflects heat, redirects rainwater, and ventilates the interior space regardless of wind direction. The roof can support 5,000 pounds for families who wish to add a sleeping or storage loft. Outside, three container spaces for cement and other heavy material provide up to 18,000 pounds of ballast to weigh the structure down against wind or waves. Window gardens can grow on the ballast material.
The galvanized building material provides 100 percent termite, fire, and weatherproof. The metal windows have lockable covers for security and 16-gauge, galvanized steel screens. Each home includes a solar panel, giving families renewable energy for lighting.
Homes also have water collection potential. Louvers in the heat shield capture rainwater for cooking, bathing, or growing crops.
GoServ Global is a nonprofit organization.
The Farm Progress Show allows visitors to see the latest equipment and more in Boone, IA, on August 31, 2022.

Long straight stretches of red road characterise travel through the Australian outback and this 260km stretch along the Kennedy Development Road between Hughenden and Lynd in outback Queensland is pretty typical. The road includes sections covered in fine red dust called “Bull Dust” and these sections are particularly hazardous when vehicles meet and the dust obscures vision … just another reason to be vigilant when driving in the outback of Australia!!

On our web development servers, we have any number of websites and applications set up for beta testing at any given time. The last thing we want to do is make you (and by "you" we mean "us" too) look bad by releasing a website or application that isn't functioning as it should.
Based on a satellite image of a tiny sample from Florida's sea of houses. I made many changes to the picture after cropping it, including removing some parts and adding much more color and some paint effect. I find it attractive as a colorful, painting-like doodle, but the houses look too tightly packed in for my taste, though of course people here have much more space than in many apartment buidlings.
After wandering through lots of satellite pictures of developed land in the U.S. I wondered if planners often chose neighborhood designs more because of how the layout looked on their prospective maps and less in consideration of how it would fit in with surrounding development and environment. Also, I've read the comment that some building designs and architectural styles may look fabulous, yet might not be very comfortable or useful to live in and ccould be hard to maintain (like the leaky roofs on many Frank Lloyd Wright houses). Some quite interesting looking development patterns (as seen from aircraft or satellite) are of roads and housing on flood plains and river deltas and beaches that probably get flooded repeatedly, places I've been happy not to live. Many obviously strongly disagree with me -- I've met several Floridians who say they love their beach house settings so much that they regard hurricanes as just a nuisance to be put up with.

‘FREEHOUSE’ caught my attention as it is a term not often used in Ireland because most pubs here are independent. After the development of the large London Porter breweries in the 18th century, the trend grew for pubs to become tied houses which could only sell beer from one brewery (a pub not tied in this way was called a Free house). The usual arrangement for a tied house was that the pub was owned by the brewery but rented out to a private individual (landlord) who ran it as a separate business (even though contracted to buy the beer from the brewery).
J D Wetherspoon plc, branded as Wetherspoon and popularly known as Wetherspoon's or Spoon's, is a pub chain in the UK and Republic of Ireland, with its headquarters in Watford. Founded in 1979 by Tim Martin, the company owns just under 1,000 outlets. The chain's pubs offer cask ale, hot food, low prices, long opening hours, and no music. The company also operates the Lloyds No.1 chain of bars, as well as Wetherspoon Hotels.
The chain is known for converting unconventional premises into pubs. Premises tend to be large by British pub standards, and use an open plan layout.
Apparently Tim Martin named his business after his teacher Mr. Wetherspoon who told the young Tim that he would amount to anything in life.
