Families in Koyera, Khulna, that have had their homes destroyed by the powerful tidal surge in Aila are still living in makeshift homes on the embankment. The small pieces of land they owned were inundated for a long period of time. Once they had large supplies of fish to have for dinner, now they have only boiled rice and lentil. And those are the lucky ones because in some Aila-affected areas, families ate puffed rice distributed at the mosques.
In these remote areas, cyclone shelters are spread out widely. Some homes are several kilometres away from the nearest shelter and are difficult to travel to especially when people are willing to part with their belongings at almost the final hour. Historically, the western coast is not used to cyclones heading in their direction so disaster preparedness is a serious lacking. The current design for cyclone shelters can only accommodate a few hundred, uncomfortably.
Cracking, horizontal and vertical displacement of the brickwork for the outer platform shelter structures at Armadale station. The station is of one of four similarly designed ones between Caulfield and South Yarra built as part of a large scale project to lower the rail lines to remove numerous level crossings and expand the section of line from two to four tracks.
The stations at Malvern, Armadale, Toorak and Hawksburn were built to a common design by James W Hardy and were completed in 1914 with the quadruplication work coming into service in October 1915. The stations consist of a central island platform with outer side platforms all linked by a pair of enclosed footbridges. A similarly designed example is located at Camberwell on the Lilydale/Belgrave lines.
In recent years the shelters on the outer platforms have had cracking in the brickwork and significant horizontal movement, particularly near the arch structures over the platform entrances - which themselves have all been supported by a steel insert pinned at multiple locations into the brickwork. In many cases there have been survey markers placed to monitor the progression of movement.
In addition an elevated shop built at the top of the station platform facing Cheel Street also has major problems with differential settlement and has been held together with an enclosed steel frame at the top parapet of the structure with the three brick columns at the rear on the platform supported by steel props with temporary fencing around the platform side. The Armadale Village Deli which traded from the site was forced to 'temporarily' move owing to the unsafe condition of the structure.

"There is nothing in all of motoring quite like the massive displacement early racing cars. Driving this Napier you experience everything that makes this era so exciting. When setting off you are struck by just how tall the gearing is - first is like high in anything else. When you get the machine rolling and apply any throttle the machine hurls forward snapping your back in your seat. You are launched to over 50 mph before you can grasp what has happened and you are still in first gear! You need a bit more speed still to drop it in the only other gear and then it starts all over with the engine dropping to just a few hundred revs. When you open the throttle, it feels like it could go forever well past 100 mph. While thundering around in this beast one cannot help but be captivated by the fact that you are controlling the engine that set such a milestone world record." -Evan Ide, for Bonhams|Cars
This 'Edwardian Giant,' offered from the collection of its fifth owner in one hundred and twenty years, Australian businessman Peter Briggs. This "adventure capitalist" would surely have recognized himself in a car that shattered records and assumptions, and whose ownership and racing pedigree bring together for a most impressive roll call several of the most pioneering figures in the history of the automobile. The discovery of this engine in the 1950s to a complete body in the 1980s heralded the definitive rebirth into the motoring world of the L48 and its singular legacy any new owner must keep bright and burning the flame of transformation and perseverance this motor has ignited in all its custodians.
The Napier marque was begun by Montague Napier's father more than 100 years before the birth of the L48. Some years after Montague took over the large business it suffered a decline, and by 1900 was quite a small engineering shop producing products of a nonetheless superior precision, such as coin-weighing machines for the Royal Mint. Montague and his Australian-born collaborator Selwyn Francis Edge, a marketing wizard who cut his teeth in the hyper-competitive bicycle business, were eager to reposition Napier as an innovator in both business strategy and engineering. It was through endurance speed-cycling that the pair met the young engineer Arthur J Rowledge, a future assistant to Henry Royce, who would complete the team. Amongst the Bath Road Cycling Club members was S.F. Edge's wife, Eleanor Edge, who was also a pioneer motorist in her own right and a founding member of the world's first motoring club for women or "chauffeuses."
Around this time the British motor industry had struggled for recognition amongst the elite nations of motor manufacturing, namely France and Germany. Racing competitions were introducing weight limits so that extra weight could not be added to give greater grip to the very thin tires of racing cars of the time, which would slip against the road and wear out each time a cylinder fired. Every tire change cost time, and in one city-to-city race, Edge had to change 30 times. The French engineer and journalist who later founded the Le Mans 24 Hour Race, Charles Faroux, suggested to Edge that building a six-cylinder engine would address the problem, providing a smoother power delivery to the rear wheels and improving tire life. As part of his ambitious strategy of building powerful engines for the fastest cars and sending them to win high-profile international races¬, a kind of 'publicity stunt' that would become a favourite ploy of manufacturers, Edge announced in October 1903 that Napier would compete in the 1904 racing season, which would become the world's first successful six-cylinder car.
The purpose of the 'L48', the works racing car, conceived as an improvement of the market-leading Panhard Levassor and of Napier's own K5, was to break the Land Speed Record. The victory of the K5 at the 1902 Gordon Bennett Cup and its failure to secure the title the following year, had both proven instructive. For 1902 Edge had persuaded Napier to build a car weighing significantly below the 1000 kg limit even if this meant a lower powered car; although the K5 with its pressed-steel chassis could not approach the speeds attained by its competitors, these faster cars broke down and did not finish. Napier's loss the following year was in part an effect of rushed production, but the engine was still somewhat outdated. Napier retained from the K5 the chassis, suspension, steering, clutch, and rear axle. On the other hand, the automatic intake valves were connected to mechanical operation, bringing the maximum power from 80bhp to 100bhp at 1524rpm. The three-speed gearbox could not be retained as space and weight problems with the longer six-cylinder engine necessitated the use of as short two-speed and reverse gear. Galvanized by the publicity of the 1902 Gordon Bennett win in France, which had translated directly into a surge in orders and the massive growth of the business, the new goal for the Napier team was not simply to return to old glories but to exceed itself as well as the competition.
It is unlikely that Rowledge was alone responsible for the design. The basic concept of the six-cylinder engine was brilliant with its overlapping firing periods providing a smother power deliver, but it is unthinkable that a designer of his caliber could have been responsible for such defective details as the cylinders with crewed-on cast iron valve chest or the multi-seated faced intake values with minimal lift. History does not record the other hands that were part of this leap in mechanical engineering. Napier did not build the first six-cylinder car – Spyker built one in 1902 but it was not a success and is today part of the collection of the Louwman Museum in The Netherlands. When the Napier was finalized on 10th April 1903, no six-cylinder car of any make had been sold anywhere in the world, so Napier and Edge showed amazing confidence in building such a racing engine. Later, the first recorded sale of a six-cylinder car was a Napier touring model, having been first demonstrated in June that same year.
With the works car ready to be deployed onto the battlefield of industrial rivalries, S.F. Edge set himself with assembling a team for the Gordon Bennett Cup in Germany; he could not cross the Atlantic, so turned to the team of amateur and professional drivers at his disposal. Previously, the manager of the Dunlop Cycle Racing Team, he applied his experience to create what was the first great British motor racing team. Following the 1904 failure, the front of the new race car was extensively revised to include a streamlined nose and an exterior radiator. A spectacle with its 242ft ¼" copper pipe used for the unique 80-tube radiator, holding 20 gallons, operating at atmospheric pressure, the lines of copper tubing were as much about making the Napier L48 distinctive as about cooling. The combination of good looks and ambitious engineering was not sufficient to guarantee success: talented pilots with a grip to match the shoulder-width steering wheel, and with the feet of a dancer for peddling the throttle and brake of this 151-inch machine – the ultimate mount for the elite drivers.
The L48 was first raced in September 1904 at the Portmarnock Sands Speed Trials in Ireland, where it put up fastest time. That same month saw the Napier return to the Continent at the Gaillon Hill Climb in France, where the twenty-two-year-old British driver, Arthur MacDonald, completed the Flying Kilometer in 29.4 seconds, setting a record that would be beaten in a subsequent run by the Gobron-Brillié and then later by Darracq. The L48 finished third.
The car's greatest victory was won on the 25th of January 1905 on a stretch of sand between Florida's Ormond and Daytona Beaches where cars could realize their full potential on flat land unencumbered by speed limits. With Englishman Arthur MacDonald at the wheel, the Napier broke the Flying One Mile World Record of 104.65mph (or, 106.64mph). It was the first car to record 100 mph on American Soil and the first British car to crack the 100-mph barrier. Other achievements at the Velocity Weekend included the Flying Kilometer (American Record) 97.26 mph; the World's Competitive Kilometer Record (Standing Start) 81.6 mph; the World's Competitive Mile 96.25 mph; the World's Five Mile Record 91.37 mph; the World's Ten Miles Record 96.00 mph (winning the Miller Trophy); and the World's Twenty Miles Record 89.21 mph (winning the Thomas Trophy).
Six months later, on a glorious day, near Auvergne, France, at the Gordon Bennett Cup, British entrant Napier was the fastest over the kilometer with the L48 but finished the race in ninth place due to poor preparation. The car returned to the Daytona Beach Speed Trials in 1906, piloted by Walter Thomas Clifford Earp, dubbed 'England's Leading Gentleman Driver' by the Washington Post. The Los Angeles Times concurred that, 'England has certainly sent her best, both in a man and machine, to battle for the world's supremacy in automobile speed.' The other five racers were: Vincenzo Lancia driving a Fiat (he would later manufacture Lancia cars in Italy), Louis Chevrolet driving a Christie, Emanuel Cedrino from in Italy in a Fiat, William H Hilliard from Boston in an ex-Gordon Bennett racing car Napier, and J.R. Harding from Boston in a Daimler. At the 32-mile mark, disaster struck. The Napier's right rear tyre exploded, throwing fragments of rubber all over the beach to the horror of spectators. In the previous year, the car had wooden spoked wheels, but this time it had the first Rudge Whitworth wire wheels, he was confident could withstand the side strain on cornering. At fifty-eight miles, Cedrino was a handy seven minutes ahead of Clifford-Earp, but he too encountered trouble with his tires and began to slow down. In a moment of sheer brilliance, he stopped his car next to Vincenzo Lancia's car and proceeded to remove two tubes from the stranded car to put on his own wheels. He would not be denied. It was now a race of two, with Earp on three wheels about three minutes ahead, with Cedrino chasing behind with fresh tires and tubes. Clifford-Earp's winning margin was only 50 seconds after 100 miles. Despite racing 63 miles on only three tires, he had set a world record time of 1:15:40-2/5sec or 79.288 mph, beating the previous time by three minutes. Amongst the spectators, "pandemonium broke loose" was reported. The win was instantly legendary, later inspiring racing historian Dick Punett to title his book on the Ormond and Daytona Beach tournaments "Racing on the Rim" in tribute to this remarkable feat.
Clifford Earp and Arthur MacDonald were not the only drivers to find success behind the wheel of the L48 in this period of 'Edwardian Giants'. October 1906 saw Dorothy Levitt establish the Women's World Speed Record over the Flying Kilometer with a speed of 90.88 mph at the Blackpool Motor Race Meeting. Between 1906 and 1908, the Napier continued to be raced, gaining an even larger 20-litre engine along the way. The car was nicknamed 'Samson', a nod to the resemblance of the engine's copper cooling tubes to the flowing locks of the biblical strongman.
Fifteen miles away from their new factory in Acton, London, Brooklands, the world's first purpose-built 'banked' motor racing circuit was the place for high-speed testing. At a time where blanket speed limits were 20 mph. In November 1908, on the "Byfleet" banking, 'Samson' achieved a top speed of 130 mph. A record lap which stood for six years. In the months leading up to this achievement, L48 had set many more records including: first in the Thirty Mile Race (Montague Cup); 90 hp Ten Lap record raised to 102.21 mph and Half-Mile record raised to 114.98 mph; 90 hp Class short record pushed up to 119.34 mph.
The car was eventually sold for scrap by Napier. Fatigued by such an eventful career, it had become too dangerous for fast driving. In 1909 the second engine was taken out of the chassis and installed in a speedboat. This had been the fate of the first engine with the larger bore of 6¼", which was bought from S.F. Edge by speedboat racers Percy and Fred Cornwell of Cornwell Pottery, Melbourne, for the speedboat 'Nautilus II'. Napier had become the only manufacturer in the world to hold both the world land and the world water speed records. In 1905, Mr. Tucker and his Jarrow-Napier motorboat had achieved 30 knots; Albert I, Prince of Monaco, bestowed upon S.F. Edge the Order of St Charles in recognition of his achievement.
The story of the engine's survival after its racing career begins with Alan 'Bob' Hawker Chamberlain, manufacturer of the celebrated Australian-made Chamberlain Tractors. The Hawker name resonates: Bob's uncle was Harry Hawker, best known as the aviator and engineer associated with the Sopwith Camel and the Hawker aviation firm. Faced with the choice to either to polish this relic of the racing's golden age and put it on a stand in a museum, or to recreate the original car around the engine, the engineer's decision was of course in favor of the more ambitious line of action. Had the car been of a more conventional design, Chamberlain may not have bothered to re-construct the car.
At the Cornwell pottery factory where the engine was rediscovered, only the intake valve rocker arms and domes were visible, poking through the dust. England's Motor Sport magazine printed a photograph of Chamberlain's engine block with a notice asking for information, to which Anthony Heal responded by sharing the research he had conducted into Napier over several years. Fortunately, unlike other manufacturers, Napier did not destroy their records. The archiving efforts of enthusiasts such as Heal and Derek Grosmark enabled Bob Chamberlain to rebuild the Napier with characteristic thoroughness. When enlarged, excellent photographs of the engine taken in June 1904 even showed details of the casting imperfections. During the original construction of the car in the early 20th century, hundreds of wooden casting patterns had to be made as every component of the engine was a new design, so much was the engine at the cutting edge of engineering. Chamberlain did the same, reproducing from photographs and plans hundreds of wooden casting patterns to form the car presently offered at this sale. Chamberlain's friend found an article in an English motor journal which included original assembly drawings of the L48 engine, and it was learned that these were printed from the original and well-preserved ink on linen drawings held by a London Museum. These left no doubt that the engine found in Australia was the first and original one used in the Napier racing car L48.
The rebuilt engine was started for the first time in sixty-seven years on the 8th of July 1982, and it is said to have started on its first turn. It was tested on a dynamometer and showed almost 180 bhp at 161km/h. Journalist, author and stalwart Editor of the famed Motor Sport magazine, Bill Boddy, who had been a critic of poorly executed replicas, said in Motor Sport magazine in 1988, 'Whether or not you approve of the modern reconstruction of old cars, you must concede that this is the recreation of the decade'.
In May 1982 the car was shipped to the United Kingdom and campaigned twice, appearing in the June 1983 Brooklands Reunion and the July 1983 Shelsley Walsh Hill Climb. Australian F1 driver Tony Gaze drove it at the Colerne Sprints in 1983 and recorded a standing start kilometer in 30.67 seconds with a terminal speed of 111.73 mph. A record which stands in perpetuity, despite the best efforts of many potent Edwardian racing cars whilst this course was in use. In May 1983 the L48 was again shipped to the United Kingdom, getting its first high speed run at Donnington (Tom Wheatcroft had visited Australia to see the reconstruction underway).
To an independent Melbourne evening auction of the 23rd of April 1993, the Chamberlain family consigned the Napier and two other important cars: 1910 Craig "Prince Henry" Benz works racing car, and the Erle/Syme "Prince Henry" Benz works racing car. That night saw ownership transfer to Peter Briggs and his wife Robin. Mr. Briggs housed the car in his York Motor Museum, Western Australia, but the couple took it out on many an excursion.
John Keenan undertook primary research on the car when it went into the York Motor Museum, building on that already collated by Chamberlain. This attention to detail and careful mining of archival material further enhanced L48 earning Briggs invitations to show and compete the car at world's foremost events, including the annual Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance in 1999. Previously, at the 49th edition of this prestigious event, Automobile Quarterly awarded the car the most historically significant car. In 2000, the Napier was once again invited, by the then Lord March, to the Goodwood Festival of Speed hill climb where Peter Briggs took it to a class win. Graeme Cocks had the opportunity to exploit the power with a 160km/h run at the historic claypan of Lake Perkolilli in the Goldfields of Western Australia in 2007.
Something of the same spirit behind the engineering and commercial excellence of Napier, Edge and Rowledge, fired Bob Chamberlain's desire to feel what it was like to drive and race one of Britain's and the world's greatest race cars. Peter Briggs as a custodian enjoyed showing and rallying the car with his beloved Robin, recognizing in it the same perseverance and capacity for transformation that earned him pre-eminence in Australian business. To be the next custodian of the greatest British car from the "heroic age" of motor sport is to provide yourself with a passport to the world's best competitive events on the lawn and tarmac, including the S.F. Edge Trophy at the Goodwood Member's Meeting. Be part of the story of two cars separated by three-quarters of a century which share one heart and soul: its extraordinary engine.

Vertical water displacement station built with recycled wood and a "budget" of one hundred dollars. "Today we can generate virtually infinite amounts of clean electricity by using the principle of balance and flux of liquid masses, points of support, and the sequence of steps that i have described. Health-care facilities and schools that wanted to start saving oil can start using this principles and the how explained here. Vertical water displacement is safe, reliable and as abundant as the scale we use.
I can't quite figure out what function a cash machine would have in a school, so I draw the conclusion that someone, more or less recently, thought it was a good idea to put it there.
I actually should be working - I know it's Saturday, but I'm behind schedule. But then I found this in some archives - I don't know what it was doing in my work-pictures?
Enjoy your saturday too :-)

Following 1967 war, Israel annexed East Jerusalem and extended its municipal boundaries incorporating larger parts of the West Bank. Al Nu'man village, east of Beit Sahour, suddenly found itself within the extended Jerusalem municipal boundaries. Overnight the residents of Al Nu'man became “illegal” residents in their own village as the vast majority of them hold West BanK ID and were not given Jerusalem IDs.
The residents have faced a wave of demolitions since then. In 2002, the village of Al Nu'man also started to witness the construction of the Israeli Wall on its lands, which isolates it from the nearby Palestinian communities. There is only one entrance and exit from the village through an Israeli military checkpoint which can only be passed by Palestinians from Al Num'an registered on a list, meaning that the residents from Al Nu'man cannot have visitors from outside the village

The Atiyah family have 6 children (4 girls and 2 boys). Their house, built in 1983, has had a demolition order since 1993.
