Often I was so glad to be cooled or warmed by the climate controlled lab atmosphere that I didn't even notice what they were doing. I just know how to use these things from OSU.
We'd never have had a reason to go in there at all if the CD player wasn't in their storage closet.
Hurst Castle is situated at the seaward end of the shingle spit that extends 1.5 miles from Milford-On-Sea. The end of the spit, only three-quarters of a mile from the Isle of Wight, and the views from the top of the centre keep are spectacular. Hurst Castle on the south coast of England is one of Henry VIII's Device Forts, built at the end of a long shingle spit at the west end of the Solent to guard the approaches to Southampton. Hurst Castle was sited at the narrow entrance to the Solent where the ebb and flow of the tides create strong currents, putting would-be invaders at its mercy. Also known as a Henrician Castle, Hurst was built as part of Henry's chain of coastal defences to protect England during the turbulent times of his reign. Charles I was imprisoned here in 1648 before being taken to London to his trial and execution. The fort was modified throughout the 19th century, and two large wing batteries were built to house heavy guns. It was fortified again in World War II and then decommissioned. It is now owned by English Heritage and is open to the public.
Hurst Castle is a fort consisting of a circular stone tower strengthened by semicircular bastions of later dates. It was erected by Henry VIII to defend the approach to Southampton Water against the French. The recommendation that a castle be built on Hurst Point was made in 1539 by William FitzWilliam, 1st Earl of Southampton and William Paulet, 1st Marquess of Winchester. By 1540 some kind of fortification existed but details are scarce. The work on the castle proper took several years and was finished by the end of 1544. The first captain of the castle was Thomas Bertie. In 1561 Thomas Carew was captain. The establishment at that time consisted of the captain, his deputy, porter and a master gunner, a deputy's man, eight soldiers, another for the porter and 11 gunners. Thomas Carew was succeeded on his death by Sir Thomas Gorges, who in 1593 petitioned for the repair of the platforms, which were so decayed as to be incapable of supporting the guns. Sir Edward Gorges, afterwards Baron Gorges of Dundalk, succeeded his father as captain in 1610. In 1635 most of the bronze ordnance in the castle was exchanged for iron. In 1642, in the absence of the captain, the castle was occupied by Captain Richard Swanley for the King and Parliament. It was the last prison of Charles I before being moved to Windsor before his trial; he was brought here on the last day of November 1648 from Newport. Lord Gorges was succeeded in the captaincy by Colonel Thomas Eyre, who in 1650 secured a grant of further ordinance and an increase in the number of soldiers stationed there.
In the year following the Restoration Colonel Eyre lost his post, and Edward Strange was appointed captain, the office of governor being allowed to lapse. In January 1661 Charles II ordered the garrison to be disbanded and an estimate made of the expense of demolishing the castle; the latter idea was, however, speedily dropped, and five months later, although the forces were paid off, arrangements were made for additions involving an increase in the annual expenditure. In 1666 it was decided that the castle should be garrisoned by men from Sir Robert Holmes' company on the Isle of Wight. This was not done until 1671 owing to the state of disrepair in which the castle was. Sir Robert, who was governor of the Island, reported that there was scarcely a gun mounted and no stores or provisions in the castle; nothing, however, was done, and three years later he wrote complaining that there was hardly a room not fallen in and into which the rain did not come. Repairs were then taken in hand and the garrison established, Captain Strange becoming governor. In 1675 a master gunner and three other gunners were added to the establishment, there being then nearly 30 guns mounted at the castle. In the same year Sir John Holmes petitioned for leave to purchase the governorship, and this being granted him he was appointed to the post. Captain Roach, who was captain of the castle at this time, having murdered a certain Lieutenant Newman, fled to Yarmouth, and borrowing a black cloak took boat to Hurst, where he was arrested. In 1689 Henry Holmes was appointed to the captaincy. 19th century ~ The fort's tower was rebuilt around 1805 during the Napoleonic Wars. In the 1850's the dock was built as well as the west battery. Recommendations by the 1859 Royal Commission report, led to the castle being re fortified, and two large wing batteries were built to house 30 heavy guns. In 1873 a new east wing was built and a new entrance to the castle was driven through the northeast bastion. Around 1889 the magazine roof was reinforced with more concrete; the staircases and rooms within the tower were rebuilt; and the tower roof was adapted for modern gun mountings. A coastal battery was built in 1893.

This was one of the first special purpose rope descending or abseiling devices.
The climber pulls a loop of rope through the big eye and over the small eye, and then clips the small eye into his sit harness (a waist loop with added leg loops for more comfortable dangling).
It is still popular because it is very easy to understand, easy to set up, and easily controllable. It's first disadvantage came from the fact that it needs quite a bit of extra friction to control a slide down down the rope. While a hand (preferably gloved) can do it, many preferred the less strenuous option of wrapping the tail once or twice round the thigh, so that only the lightest grasp of the hand was enough to arrest a fall.
The second disadvantage, when used with the now popular smooth-surfaced kernmantle climbing ropes, was that it tended to twist the rope, so that next time it was dangled from, the climber would start spinning, and coiling up or packing the rope was more difficult to do neatly because of the twist.
The 5-bar descender, a development of the carabiner brake idea, didn't twist the rope, but was heavier and more fiddly to set up.
Squarer versions of the 8 were tried, but although they twisted the rope less, they still twisted it.

Telstra to launch Australia’s first commercial 4G/LTE device
Businesses in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane will be the first to experience 4G/LTE mobile broadband after Telstra announced it would commence selling Australia’s first commercial LTE device later this month.
A device with a screen that measures less than an inch sounds ridiculous in the modern world, but the Cinera Edge compensates by cramming it up to within an inch of your eyeballs. This portable personal cinema headset packs a 5K(ish)-resolution display and Dolby Surround Sound. Okay, so it is still a bit ridiculous, but we can’t help being intrigued by it.
Personal cinema headsets have been threatening to break into mainstream use for almost a decade now, but perhaps the main thing stopping them was their chunky form factor. For years they were either big ugly boxes that make it uncomfortable to watch anything longer than a 20-minute sitcom, or smaller units with low-res, eye-strain-inducing screens.
Even Cinera itself has followed the former path. The previous model was such a hefty beast that the company sold an optional arm to hold it up to your face for you. Now, it looks like the team has hit the right middle ground, with a sleeker unit that doesn’t look much more cumbersome than a regular pair of headphones.
The Cinera Edge packs a pair of OLED displays measuring just 0.83 in (21 mm) each. But in that tiny space, they cram 2,560 x 1,440 pixels each, which combine to form something close to a 5K display. We say “close to” because while it is the same width, it’s only half the height of “true” 5K.
Still, that gives it a 66-degree horizontal field of view, which is approaching IMAX’s beefy 70 degrees. Given you’re basically pressing your eyeballs right up against the display, Cinera says that it’s the equivalent of watching a 1,200-inch (30.5-m) screen from a distance of 20 m (65.6 ft).
The screen itself is mostly unchanged from the previous version, but what has changed is the bulk. The Cinera Edge measures 197 x 207 x 103 mm (7.8 x 8.1 x 4 in), and weighs 490 g (1.1 lb). The company says the weight is shifted towards the sides rather than the front, to make it easier to wear for longer periods. It now looks like something that we could potentially see ourselves watching a whole movie in – within reason of course. Scorsese’s The Irishman is probably out, but a 90-minute comedy could work.
Your aching neck isn’t the only limiting factor dictating how long your binge session can be, the 5,200-mAh battery is expected to last around three hours. But honestly, that’s probably more than enough.
So what are you watching on the Cinera Edge? The system runs on the Android 7 operating system, and can natively run streaming apps like Netflix, YouTube, HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu, and Twitch. There’s also a MicroSD card slot, which you could load with videos.
A-Pro model also includes an HDMI port, so it can connect to basically any Blu-Ray player, computer, games console or another source. This model also packs Dolby Digital surround sound, with four speaker drivers in each ear, and a larger storage capacity – 32 GB, up from 16 GB on the regular model.
There’s a range of other features too. There’s a touchpad on the outside of the ear to control the menus, and native 3D content support, since each eye uses independent screens. The view can also be adjusted depending on your needs. The distance between the two can be adjusted, as can the focus, so if you normally need glasses you won’t have to squeeze them in under the headset.
The Cinera Edge is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter, where it’s already smashed its US$10,000 goal by raising over $325,000. The regular model starts at $449, while the Pro is available from $549. If all goes to plan, shipping should begin by December 2020. Check it out cinera-edge-a-5k-oled-hmd-with.kckb.st/a449647d
Nothing in here that you wouldn't find in a household water system... PVC pipe and fittings, copper tubing. The friction tape handle was wound so as to create two rope loops for securing the device in place.

During a recent exploration to Kepler22b, an exoplanet from the Kepler-16 binary star system, Boris Chimp 504 found some metallic objects on its surface. Though the origin of these objects are totally unknown, it's probably a piece of technology from an extraterrestrial civilization. Boris has sent these objects in an hyperspace capsule to the Vladivostok Space Center, on Earth.
It is believed that it's a part of a machine, a mechanism or a device of some kind. Recent investigations on the objects lead to believe that it is an interface to control the position and orientation in space and time of something bigger, a spaceship maybe.
These objects are being presented in a series of interactive installations called "Non Human Device".

I ran in the race - but my photograph doesn't appear here in your Flickr set! What gives?
As mentioned above we take these photographs as a hobby and as a voluntary contribution to the running community in Ireland. Very often we have actually ran in the same race and then switched to photographer mode after we finished the race. Consequently, we feel that we have no obligations to capture a photograph of every participant in the race. However, we do try our very best to capture as many participants as possible. But this is sometimes not possible for a variety of reasons:
►You were hidden behind another participant as you passed our camera
►Weather or lighting conditions meant that we had some photographs with blurry content which we did not upload to our Flickr set
►There were too many people - some races attract thousands of participants and as amateur photographs we cannot hope to capture photographs of everyone
►We simply missed you - sorry about that - we did our best!
You can email us petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com to enquire if we have a photograph of you which didn't make the final Flickr selection for the race. But we cannot promise that there will be photograph there. As alternatives we advise you to contact the race organisers to enquire if there were (1) other photographs taking photographs at the race event or if (2) there were professional commercial sports photographers taking photographs which might have some photographs of you available for purchase. You might find some links for further information above.
Don't like your photograph here?
That's OK! We understand!
If, for any reason, you are not happy or comfortable with your picture appearing here in this photoset on Flickr then please email us at petermooney78 AT gmail DOT com and we will remove it as soon as possible. We give careful consideration to each photograph before uploading.
I want to tell people about these great photographs!
Great! Thank you! The best link to spread the word around is probably www.flickr.com/peterm7/sets
