The HMS Queen Mary is equipped with 24 lifeboats with a total capacity of 3266 persons. That is about 130 persons per boat, seems a bit crowded but who's going to argue in a time of need.
Each boat is equipped with an l8-B.H.P. two-cylinder Diesel engine and at the time they were the largest life boats manufactured and in use. Lessons learned from the Titanic I suspect.

Due to eye disease, I'll have to avoid using any electronic devices for the time being. Of course I'll still try my best to admire your fine works. Wish you all a splendid weekend, my dear friends! Happy Friday!
由於眼睛長期過度疲累，最近要接受治療，無法即時欣賞您好圖佳作要向您致歉了，感恩您一直的鼓勵和指導，周末愉快我的好友們!
The best option is to gain intel, the local D18PD station is quiet so Flit takes the opportunity to sneak across the street to tap into their databases and hack some information.

Selon une légende reprise par plusieurs auteurs, l'histoire de ce château se raconte ainsi :
« C'est en contrebas et sur le flanc sud ouest de l'ancien fort médiéval d’Autoire, qu'un dénommé Lafon avait sa demeure.
Pour récompenser sa bravoure sur les champs de bataille d'Italie, le roi Charles VIII l'aurait récompensé en le faisant Chevalier et en lui donnant ainsi le privilège d'avoir un logis avec tours et mâchicoulis qui était un droit attaché à la noblesse.
Le nouveau Chevalier Lafon aurait alors ajouté à son logis de simples tours et gravé sur un linteau de l’une d’entre elle le blason qu'il s'était choisi, une étoile, peut-être celle qui porte chance. »
La demeure s'articule autour d'une tour d'escalier à vis, logée dans l'angle réunissant les 2 corps de logis. La porte principale, au bas de la tour, est ornée d'un arc torique sculpté en accolade, caractéristique de l'ornementation prisée dans le dernier quart du XVe siècle et le début du XVIe siècle.
Dans la partie haute de la tour qui permet à l'escalier distribue les cinq niveaux d'habitation, se greffe une guette en encorbellement surmontée d'une toiture en poivrière qui permettait d'atteindre la pièce aménagée au dernier étage.
La seconde tour est plus imposante : armée de canonnières elle participait à la défense de l'édifice dont le sommet était couronné de mâchicoulis, mais il ne reste plus rien de ce dispositif. Les deux corps de logis ont été remaniés aux XVIIe et XIXe siècles, lors du percement de fenêtres à l'emplacement d'anciennes croisées en pierre.
La tour fait l’objet d’une inscription au titre des monuments historiques depuis le 6 avril 1929.
According to a legend taken up by several authors, the history of this castle is told as follows:
"It is below and on the southwest flank of the old medieval fort of Autoire, that a man named Lafon had his home.
To reward his bravery on the battlefields of Italy, King Charles VIII would have rewarded him by making him a Knight and thus giving him the privilege of having a home with towers and machicolations which was a right attached to the nobility.
The new Chevalier Lafon would then have added simple towers to his home and engraved on a lintel of one of them the coat of arms he had chosen for himself, a star, perhaps the one that brings luck. "
The house is built around a spiral staircase tower, housed in the corner uniting the 2 main buildings. The main door, at the bottom of the tower, is adorned with a toric arch carved in an accolade, characteristic of the ornamentation prized in the last quarter of the 15th century and the beginning of the 16th century.
In the upper part of the tower, which leads to the staircase leading to the five levels of living, is grafted a corbelled lookout surmounted by a pepperbox roof which made it possible to reach the room on the top floor.
The second tower is more imposing: armed with gunboats, it participated in the defense of the building whose top was crowned with machicolations, but nothing remains of this device. The two main buildings were altered in the 17th and 19th centuries, when windows were drilled on the site of old stone windows.
The tower has been listed as a historic monument since April 6, 1929.
Three views of a peculiar connector socket... and each of those evokes something totally different to me, as the titles of the three variants can attest. And it was not even intentional at the time of the shooting. 😇
The socket consists of a matrix of 6x6 (minus the ones in the corners, so 32 in total) golden plated contacts, whose directions are alternating at 90° of each other for each row, so as to guarantee an optimal robustness of the connection, probably. The dimension of the square matrix is 4x4cm, so it complies ideally with the 3" rule of the Macro Mondays group.
For the context, this socket is part of an old electrical device. I salvaged it from an electronic waste collecting point, out of curiosity, as It didn't look like anything I had seen before. With this week's "Socket" topic, it became obvious that I could finally make good use of the "thing". Entering in a search engine some reference number I found on the object, I could trace its origin as being a "communication test device" being used by the army.
Having opened it, I was impressed by the thoughtful engineering that went into its conception. Now that the object played its role a last time, I happily returned it to the electronic junk collection point, albeit as a heap of dissembled parts. 😊
This neat little device (farm implement) turns your tractor into a small combine, or corn picker.

Vautour moine - Aegypius monachus - Cinereous Vulture
(Français + english versions)
---
Rémuzat / Septembre 2025
Je m'aventure sur un terrain que je ne maîtrise pas, en tentant une petite approche du thème du baguage et du balisage GPS des vautours :
Ici, on peut apercevoir une balise GPS accrochée sur le dos de ce vautour. Elle permet le suivi d'individus afin d’évaluer l’état général des populations, les déplacements, certains comportements, dans le cadre de plans de conservation des espèces.
Ce vautour moine est également bagué au niveau des pattes, avec un code couleur et un code alphanumérique : www.flickr.com/photos/tostaky2/54794539706/
Il y a beaucoup à comprendre sur ces méthodes. C’est un sujet que j’ai découvert cette année lors d’une formation en ligne et qui m’a surprise, car je n’en comprenais pas l’utilité au départ.
En réalité, cela s’inscrit dans une démarche de protection des espèces et s’avère crucial, notamment pour appuyer les demandes auprès des responsables politiques qui, n’étant pas sur le terrain, attendent des données chiffrées.
Ces dispositifs ont également permis le sauvetage de vautours (« Œil-Rouge », le Gypaète, a été sauvé 2 fois, si ma mémoire de lecture est bonne, grâce à son signal GPS, qui a permis de le retrouver alors qu'il était en grande difficulté).
Cela permet aussi une coopération entre groupes de travail et bénévoles, que ce soit au niveau national ou international, car les oiseaux n'ont que faire de nos frontières administratives.
En cas de décès, l'oiseau peut parfois être retrouvé grâce au gps et ainsi il est envisageable de déterminer les causes de la mort : braconnage, collision, prédation, maladie... Ainsi on peut tenter de réfléchir à la mise en place d’actions complémentaires.
L'Humain doit intervenir pour protéger des espèces que sa propre espèce contribue à faire disparaître. C'est magnifiquement tragique.
Mais depuis que j'ai compris l'intérêt des bagues (mettre des bagues sur les pattes des oiseaux pour espérer les identifier ultérieurement) et des balises GPS, ainsi que des suivis, je suis totalement en phase avec cela, même si, bien sûr, il serait préférable que la biodiversité ne soit pas en déclin et que ces actions ne soient pas nécessaires.
Pour ma part, la cause animale est centrale depuis mon plus jeune âge, et je contribue bénévolement de plus en plus à des actions de suivi et de protection.

I am venturing into unfamiliar territory by attempting a brief overview of the topic of vulture tagging and GPS tracking :
Here, you can see a GPS tag attached to the back of this vulture. It allows individuals to be tracked in order to assess the general health of populations, their movements, and certain behaviors, as part of species conservation plans.
This black vulture is also "banded" on its legs, with a color code and an alphanumeric code : www.flickr.com/photos/tostaky2/54794539706/
There is a lot to understand about these methods. It's a subject I discovered this year during an online training course, and it surprised me because I didn't understand its usefulness at first.
In reality, it's part of a species protection approach and is crucial, particularly in supporting requests to politicians who, not being in the field, expect hard data.
These devices have also enabled the rescue of vultures ("Oeil-Rouge” the bearded vulture was rescued twice, if my memory serves me correctly, thanks to its GPS signal, which enabled it to be found when it was in great difficulty).
This also enables cooperation between working groups and volunteers, whether at the national or international level, because birds are not concerned with our administrative borders.
In the event of death, the bird can sometimes be located using GPS, making it possible to determine the cause of death: poaching, collision, predation, disease, etc. This allows us to consider implementing additional measures.
Humans must intervene to protect species that their own species is helping to drive to extinction. It is magnificently tragic.
But since I understood the importance of rings (putting rings on birds' legs in the hope of identifying them later) and GPS tags, as well as tracking, I am totally on board with this, even though, of course, it would be preferable if biodiversity were not in decline and these actions were not necessary.
For my part, animal welfare has been a central cause for me since I was very young, and I am increasingly volunteering my time to tracking and protection initiatives.

Excerpt from miyajima.or.jp/english/spot/spot_other.html:
Designated as a National Important Cultural Property on August 29, 1910
Hokoku Shrine is dedicated to the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi (one of the three unifiers of Japan in the 16th century) and his loyal aid Kato Kiyomasa. The reason for building this structure is clearly stated in a letter by Ankokuji Ekei, head monk of Ankokuji Temple. In 1587, Ekei asked Daiganji Temple, the temple in charge of construction and repair work in Miyajima including Itsukushima Shrine, to build a Buddhist library in which the chanting of Senbu-kyo sutras could be held every month. As there is no board ceiling or outer gate, it is believed that the construction of the building was not completed.
Originally, Amida Buddha and two subordinate Buddhist saints, Anan and Kasho-sonja, were enshrined in the Buddhist altar until the early Meiji era. Since that time, however, the altar has been used in Shinto rituals.
The building is called Senjokaku (Hall of One Thousand Tatami Mats), reflecting its standing as the largest structure on Miyajima Island. The shrine was a popular landmark in Miyajima where many people came to relax and cool themselves and to buy popular souvenirs such as tooth picks, and a variety of legends and traditions have been created here.
The fact that this structure, unique among the buildings belonging to Itsukushima Shrine, is unpainted and that its exact date of founding is recorded makes it a valuable gauge of the passage of time. The traces of weathering on its pillars and floor boards can be used to determine the approximate age of any other wooden structure on Miyajima.
A piece of wood used as a measuring device in the reconstruction work of the O-Torii in 1873 hangs on a pillar under the floor of the south part of the shrine. Countless votive picture tablets that had been hanging on the walls of Itsukushima Shrine buildings until the mid Meiji era decorate the walls inside the hall.
The shrine did not yet exist at the time of the Battle of Itsukushima in 1555 when the Mori clan defeated the Sue clan to unify the Chugoku region. The headquarters of the Sue clan was located on this hill, which was then called To-no-oka (Pagoda Hill). Starting in the Meiji era, the hill was developed through the establishment of stone steps, among other additions.
Excerpt from www.japan-experience.com/all-about-japan/miyajima/temples...:
Its bare appearance may not intrigue you at first. Only unfinished walls and a hundred pillars. Although the building is pretty, there is something missing. But once inside, look up: the gigantic ceiling is covered with a mosaic of paintings whose subjects are as varied as the styles and periods of implementation. Medieval battles, Buddhist representations, landscapes and animals in a modern style, the eye does not know where to turn.

Normally on a Monday morning I do swim squad. But with the pools closed, I went for an early morning with my wife - who was happy to be my model at the end of the run when I noticed a puddle. Even with the world gone mad, it’s important to find the positives.
To my flickr mates, I’m doing my best to keep up - but spending all day on a variety of devices in my home office makes getting on to devices in the evening that little bit harder. I’ll get there.
Orion standing 'military ramrod straight' and unsupported on his rear legs surveying the scene. Not sitting, yet poised and ready to go, he does this spontaneously when his view is obstructed by tall grass/weeds/cattail stalks/etc. The position can be held for (say) 5-6 seconds, then he slowly lowers to his all fours. He will repeat as needed until he's satisfied all is OK. It's as if his hips are hinged and seems to take no effort at all. I find his behavior... Amazing !
BTW: the black device on his neck houses a small receiver and tiny speaker. When he ranges out, a touch on my transmitter produces a very quiet 'beep' at his ear. He is trained to stop on that sound and turn his attention towards me for further directions via hand signals (come, go left/right/forward/back, or stop). I need not shout his name/orders, or raise a game frightening ruckus to get his attention. As such, we communicate silently which keeps our stress levels low. Working with Orion is a ton of fun and he seems to love it, too.

A North American residential circuit breaker. This particular style, known as ganged, is used for 240-volt circuits to ensure both hot legs trip, otherwise there would be a live 120-volt circuit from either hot leg to neutral, an unsafe condition. Industrial buildings with three-phase power use three-breaker ganged units where required for similar reasons.
While the term “circuit breaker” mainly refers to the electrical safety device in its many varieties, the name has been used in other fields to suggest a overload shutoff mechanism, such as in the world of finance and even in reference to the COVID-19 pandemic.
I built a bunch of medieval execution and torture devices back in November for a school project and am showcasing a few of them here. I guess you could say this build is a part one of two, with part two coming in two years or so. Yup, this is my last build for the next two years. I'll say more in my 2021 recap that I'll post soon.
This build was quite fun and the execution methods especially were exciting to design. I'm particularly proud of my stock design and the chopping block.
This is also my entry to the Rogues & Outlaws category of Brickscalibur.

I finally splashed out on an Mp3 player, and I am pleased with my purchase.
It has been a few years since I noticed the arrival of MP3 players made by then unkowns such as Rio and iRiver. Music players with flash memory and no moving parts had been predicted since as long as I can remember, so they came as no surprise, but at first I could not see the point.
The memory was small, it was irreplacable, and I did not know how to get MP3 files.
The player above comes with software for converting CD music to Mp3 and has 1GB of memory which is enough for 200 songs or about 12 hours of music.
It also has a voice recorder which I hope to use for recording English speakers for use as teaching materials. The reason why I purchased this particular player, at auction for about $150 USD, is because these older iRiver players accept an external microphone, which is pretty essential for recording dialogues.
The reason why I am recommending it here is because this player, weighing only 60gms including battery, with no moving parts, and an armband, can be worn while jogging.
My play list includes
Messengers, "That's the Way a Woman is"
Tracy Chapman, "Fast Car"
The Cure, "Close to Me"
Elvis, "His Latest Flame"
and
The Zombies, "Time of the Season"
The effect, the buzz, the improvement in jogging speed is phenominal. it is almost frightening. Now I know why Lance Amstrong has an Mp3 player built into his sunglasses.
This image was taken by me but is of a device copyright of iRiver. I hope they forgive my posting it here.
A suspicious device was across the street from Toys R Us. They blocked off one of the entrances to the Lakeland Square Mall. Lakeland Police was first on scene. LPD doesn't have a bomb squad, so they had to wait on TPD's bomb squad to arrive. After close investigation, it was determined to be a low jack device beeping because the vehicle it was taken off of, was stolen.

With the new Biopic "Oppenheimer" coming to most theaters today I thought it might be interesting to have a look at the Trinity Device aka known as The Gadget the output product of The Manhattan Project. Trinity was the code name of the first detonation of a nuclear weapon. It was conducted by the United States Army at 5:29 a.m. MWT (11:29:21 GMT) on July 16, 1945, as part of the Manhattan Project with a yield of energy equivalent to 24.8 ± 2 kilotons of TNT.
After the successful test Oppenheimer is said to have quoted a passage from the Hindu scripture, the "Bhagavad Gita;" "Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds."
This inert model of the Trinity Device is located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
