i thought some of you more crafty people would enjoy seeing these little treasures i made for my family. you can make one too they sell the Martha Stewart kit at Michaels Craft store. It comes with a crappy cord necklace so I decided to get my own silver findings and semi precious stones to jazz them up.
i gave them out last weekend at a pre- early thanksgiving celebration and my family went nuts ... i will be high on all the love for weeks.
happy thanksgiving to you and yours.
The Stanley B-58 Encapsulated Seat was an advanced crew protection system designed for very high windblast ejections. The concept was to completely protect the crewman against all environmental issues including depressurization and windblast as well as provide an excellent source of survival gear and even shelter. This was accomplished by means of a clamshell-like cover mounted over a relatively simple seat. Between the seat and the aft bulkhead of the capsule were mounted several packages of survival gear and radio equipment.
The capsule was designed to be decellerated and controlled on initial ejection by a drogue parachute and set of finned arms that were folded down along the sides of the back of the capsule. The picture above shows the fins at the base of the rear of the closed capsule. This particular example is the pilot's version as shown by the larger window and the square plate in the bottom of the capsule (visible in some of the open pictures.) This square plate covers the opening where the control stick of the aircraft would be mounted. This stick had a control for retarding the throttle to aid in descending to an altitude where the capsule could be re-opened in the case of an encapsulation due to depressurization.
This particular example has the leg retractor/lifter system in a retracted position. The arms are secured in this mode. Encapsulation was initiated by raising one of the armrest trigger systems. This would cause a gas system to raise the leg lifters and simultaneously the mechanism would retract the two arms with the red covers on them. These arms would strike the shin/ankle area and push them into the capsule. The clamshell would then descend to the full closed position and the seal would inflate. the capsule would then be pressurized.
Squeezing the triggers would continue the ejection procedure, first jettisoning the overhead hatch, and then firing the seat mounted rocket catapult. These capsules were independant of each other in all aspects. Any crewman could encapsulate and eject themselves. There was not sequence system so the pilot would normally call for the crew to eject in order from back to front with the pilot ejecting last.
As previously mentioned, the drogue would be deployed after ejection. This would extend the linked arms to the extended position and the capsule would be slowed to a safe speed for main parachute deployment. The 70 foot diameter recovery parachute was packed in a container under the module. Also under the container was a large 'airbag' for further impact attenuation. The entire module weighed on the order of 500lbs.
The crewman also had the ability to manually deploy the parachute if he felt the automatic systems had failed. This was done by actuating a small handle to the left of the headrest. Next to that handle was another handle for cutting the parachute risers after landing to prevent being dragged.
In case of water landing, the capsule was designed to float on its back. The small yellow circles seen on the sides of the capsule contain telescoping rods with inflatable bags to assist in floatation and stability. The crewman was to cut the seal on the central panel of the shell and slide it open to be able to float in relative comfort.
A perfect encapsulation of Hertzberger's approach. The balconies overlap each other in plan, so that everybody gets some amount of balcony that's sheltered overhead, and some amount that's effectively open to the sky. This has sociological implications; there's a part of the balcony where you can see and be seen by your neighbors, and a part where you can hang out outside and not be bothered. The sense of privacy and enclosure in the latter zone is enhanced by the column, whose footprint is outside the balcony itself so as not to take up useful space. (As Seier points out, Hertzberger acknowledges borrowing this last detail from Hugo Häring.) Quite a lot of complexity - meaningful complexity - out of a relatively small set of moves.

Antarctica is Earth's southernmost continent, encapsulating the South Pole. It is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere, almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle, and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean. At 14.0 million km2 (5.4 million sq mi), it is the fifth-largest continent in area after Asia, Africa, North America, and South America. For comparison, Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia. About 98% of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages at least 1 mile (1.6 km) in thickness.

Brooklyn Heights Promenade, NY
by navema
The Brooklyn Heights Promenade, made famous by cameo appearances in movies like Annie Hall and Moonstruck, is one of the most romantic spots in New York City, and has been the destination for thousands of first dates, wedding proposals and anniversary celebrations. One-third of a mile long, it offers a vista of the Statue of Liberty, the Manhattan skyline and the majestic Brooklyn Bridge. Lined with flower beds, trees, benches and playgrounds, the promenade is a favorite destination for tourists, joggers, strollers, families and lovers.
On the northern end, you can venture off the path to the foot of the Brooklyn Bridge; to the south of the Promenade, you can explore the cobbled streets of the charming and historic Brooklyn Heights. Or, you can refuel at classic Brooklyn eateries, like the famous Grimaldi’s Pizzeria or the Brooklyn Ice Cream Factory.
Looking out on the East River, the promenade is bordered by grand townhouses and mansions, and is part of Brooklyn's first Historic Preservation District. The adjacent neighborhood of charming brownstone homes and quiet streets is well worth investigating. Brooklyn Heights encapsulates the history of New York and America. The Dutch first appeared in 1645, forming the settlement of "Breuckelen" near the site of today's Borough Hall. The bluffs of Brooklyn Heights were already a popular location in the 18th century when many of Manhattan's early merchants built mansions here overlooking the city on the island below. It was from Brooklyn Heights that George Washington watched the Battle of Brooklyn unfold into a terrible defeat for the young Colonial Army. Under the cover of darkness on August 29th, Washington's army crossed the East River from Fulton Ferry, below where the Brooklyn Bridge rises today, leaving Brooklyn to the British.
During the 1800's, New York and Brooklyn boomed and many of New York's wealthiest investors settled in Brooklyn Heights. In 1807, Robert Fulton captained his steamboat, The Clermont, from Brooklyn on its maiden voyage up the Hudson River. In 1814, Fulton gained a franchise to operate ferry service via steamboat from Brooklyn to Manhattan. As the population exploded, Brooklyn became a city in 1833, and throughout much of the 1800s was the third most populous city in America.
In the mid-1940s Robert Moses wanted to construct a new expressway right through the heart of Brooklyn Heights. He was stopped by the outcry of the Brooklyn Heights Association, and a solution emerged to build a two-tiered highway above the waterfront. The Promenade was constructed in part to insulate the neighborhood from the noise of the Brooklyn Queens Expressway. It opened to the public in October 1950 and has been a magnet for local residents and visitors alike for over half a century.

Attachment theory describes several behavioural systems, the function of which is to regulate human attachment, fear, exploration, care-giving, peer-affiliation and sex. Attachment is defined as any form of behaviour that results in a person attaining and retaining proximity to a differentiated other. The primary caregiver is the source of the infants stress regulation and, therefore, sense of safety and security. Attachment theory emphasises the role of the parent as mediator, reflector and moderator of the childs mind and the childs reliance on the parent to respond to their affective states in ways that are contingent to their internal experience, a process often referred to as secure base/safe haven functioning. Within the close parent-child relationship neural networks dedicated to feelings of safety and danger, attachment and the core sense of self are sculpted and shaped. These networks are conceptualised as internal working models of attachment.
Characteristic patterns of interaction operating within the familys caregiving-attachment system give rise to secure, insecure and disorganized patterns of attachment. These discrete patterns have been categorized using the Strange Situation research procedure, which observes the young childs behaviour when separated and reunited with his or her primary caregiver. Attachment patterns are represented in the childs internal working models of self-other relationships. Secure attachment is promoted by the interactive regulation of affect, which facilitates the recognition, labelling and evaluation of emotional and intentional states in the self and in others, a capacity known as reflective function or mentalization. The recognition of affects as having dynamic, transactional properties is the key to understanding behaviour in oneself and in another. The child comes to recognize his or her mental states as meaningful self-states via a process of parental affect mirroring and marking. Secure children are able to use sophisticated cognitive strategies to integrate and resolve their fear of separation and loss.
When the parent is unavailable, inconsistent or unpredictable, the infant develops one of two organized insecure patterns of attachment: avoidant or ambivalent-resistant. These defensive strategies involve either the deactivation or hyper-activation of the attachment system. Deactivation is characterized by avoidance of the caregiver and by emotional detachment. In effect, the avoidant child immobilizes the attachment system by excluding thoughts and feelings that normally activate the system. Hyper-activation is manifested by an enmeshed ambivalent preoccupation with the caregiver and with negative emotions, particularly anger. However, in common with the avoidant child, the ambivalent child appears to cognitively disconnect feelings from the situation that elicited the distress. Disorganised-disoriented attachment is discussed below.
Attachment research, then, demonstrates that discrete patterns of secure, insecure, and disorganized attachment have as their precursor a specific pattern of caregiver-infant interaction and their own behavioural sequelae. Repeated patterns of interpersonal experience are encoded in implicit-procedural memory and conceptualized as self-other working models of attachment. These mental models consist of generalized beliefs and expectations about relationships between the self and key attachment figures, not the least of which concerns ones worthiness to receive love and care from others.
In sum, the care-giving environment generally, and the infant-caregiver attachment relationship particularly, initiate the child along one of an array of potential developmental pathways. Disturbance of attachment is the outcome of a series of deviations that take the child increasingly further from adaptive functioning. Child abuse and cumulative developmental trauma violate the childs sense of trust, identity and agency and have pernicious and seminal influences on the developing personality. In essence, internal working models of early attachment relationships provide the templates for psychopathology in later life, which may include violent, destructive and self-destructive forms of behaviour. In attachment theory, the main purpose of defence is the regulation of emotions. The primary mechanisms for achieving this are distance regulation and the defensive exclusion of thoughts and feelings associated with attachment trauma.
Early trauma in the form of abuse, loss, neglect and severe parent-child misattunement compromises brain-mediated functions such as attachment, empathy and affect regulation. From an attachment theory perspective, patterns of attachment are encoded and stored as generalized relational patterns in the systems of implicit memory. These are conceptualized as cognitive-affective internal working models which are seen as mediating how we think and feel about ourselves, others and the relationships we develop. Although open to change and modification in the light of new attachment experiences, whether positive or negative, these non-conscious procedural models, scripts or schemas within which early stress and trauma are retained, tend to persevere and guide, appraise and predict attachment-related thoughts, feelings and behaviours throughout the life cycle via the implicit memory system. Psychopathology is seen as deriving from an accumulation of maladaptive interactional patterns that result in character traits and personality types and disorders.
Disorganised attachment may occur when the childs parent is both the source of fear and the only protective figure to whom to turn to resolve stress and anxiety. In such instances, neither proximity seeking nor proximity avoiding is a solution to the activation of the childs attachment and fear behavioural systems. If the trauma remains unresolved and is carried into adulthood, it leaves the individual vulnerable to affect dysregulation in interpersonal conflict situations that induce fear, hate, shame and rage. In such cases, alcohol and illicit drugs are often resorted to as a maladaptive means of suppressing dreaded psychobiological states and restoring a semblance of affective equilibrium.
Findings show that disorganised attachment developed in infancy shifts to controlling behaviour in the older child and adult, reflecting an internalized mental model of the self as unlovable, unworthy of care and support, and fearful of rejection, betrayal and abandonment. Disorganised attachment is associated with a predisposition to relational violence, to dissociative states and conduct disorders in children and adolescents, and to personality disorders in adults. This state of mind constitutes a primary risk factor for the development of borderline, anti-social and sociopathic personality disorders. The rate of such disorders in forensic settings is particularly high. Clinically, dissociated traumatic experience is unsymbolized by thought and language, being encapsulated within the personality as a separate, non-reflective reality which is cut off from authentic human relatedness. The information contained in implicit memory may be retrieved by state-dependent moods and situations. Dissociated archaic internal working models are then activated, influencing and distorting expectations of current events and relationships outside of conscious awareness, particularly in situations involving intense interpersonal stress. In such situations, the self is felt to be endangered, thereby increasing the risk of an angry and potentially violent reaction.

Yes, tame kangaroos and sheep: that encapsulates 'Australasia' from the viewpoint of Victorian London. I'm not sure shepherdesses in diaphanous robes would last long against the arachnids, reptiles and deserts of the Australian bush, and sandals are no more sensible in New Zealand's pastures than in Britain's.
Amongst the 800+ buildings designed or altered by Sir George Gilbert Scott, the FCO Main Building, now Grade I Listed, is considered one of the highlights. Scott had considered a clean, Gothic design, but Lord Palmerston, then Prime Minister, demanded a rethink: this heavy Italianate (Venetian-Genoese) decoration, featuring allegorical figures by Henry Hugh Armstead RA (and J. Birnie Philip, though 'The Continents' were by Armstead), was the result. Designed in 1861 and built by 1868, it originally accommodated four government departments: the Foreign and India Offices on the western side overlooking St James' Park, and the Home and Colonial Offices here on Whitehall. The vast building forms the south side of Downing Street, and is seen worldwide each year as the backdrop of the Remembrance ceremony at The Cenotaph.

MAURIZIO CATTELAN: ALL exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York - November 4, 2011 - January 22, 2012.
At the bottom is "Untitled" (1998). An olive tree planted in a large Minimalist cube of dirt.
Maurizio Cattelan has been hailed simultaneously as provocateur, prankster, and tragic poet of our times. Cattelan has created some of the most unforgettable images in recent contemporary art — from unsettling sculptures to installations that reveal contradictions at the core of society.
This 22 year retrospective marked the first time nearly 130 works from around the world encapsulating the artist’s career were assembled into a single exhibition. It was Cattelan's first major museum show since 2002. The show was a dramatic, site-specific installation within the Guggenheim Museum’s Frank Lloyd Wright – designed rotunda. Although only 51, the artist announced his intention to retire at the end of the exhibition. He plans to move to his next phase.
The New York Times called the Maurizio Cattelan exhibit, " one of the strangest, most audacious exhibitions in its half-century history, suspending several thousand pounds’ — and many tens of millions of dollars’ — worth of high-end, internationally collected art from cables attached to a heavy-duty aluminum truss installed almost 90 feet in the air under the museum’s glass dome"
Maurizio Cattelan works include framed photos, paintings, stuffed horses, sleeping dogs, a sitting cow, a dead squirrel, mannequins, numerous self-portraits, and assorted oddities, all floating in the Guggenheim Museum rotunda.
The MAURIZIO CATTELAN: ALL exhibition was critically acclaimed by both the public and art critics.

Audubon’s story is one of triumph over adversity; his accomplishment is destined for the ages. He encapsulates the spirit of young America, when the wilderness was limitless and beguiling. He was a person of legendary strength and endurance as well as a keen observer of birds and nature. Like his peers, he was an avid hunter, and he also had a deep appreciation and concern for conservation; in his later writings he sounded the alarm about destruction of birds and habitats. It is fitting that today we carry his name and legacy into the future.

In the Spacecraft Assembly and Encapsulation Facility-2 (SAEF-2), workers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) are conducting a systems test of the imager for the Mars Pathfinder. Mounted on the Pathfinder lander, the imager (the white cylindrical element the worker is touching) is a specially designed camera featuring a stereo-imaging system with color capability provided by a set of selectable filters. It is mounted on an extendable mast that will pop up after the lander touches down on the Martian surface. The imager will transmit images of the terrain, allowing engineers back on Earth to survey the landing site before the Pathfinder rover is deployed to explore the area. The Mars Pathfinder is scheduled for launch aboard a Delta II expendable launch vehicle on Dec. 2. JPL manages the Pathfinder project for NASA.

I'm wondering if the engravings on his shoulders could represent tattoos. Tattoos have been recorded on mummies from 4,000 years ago.
"Egyptians are known for the highly symbolic and stylised artwork found on the walls of their monuments and tombs, but they are also the source of some of the earliest recorded appearance of tattoos, as well as the longest consecutive history of the art of tattooing. Ancient Egyptians tattooed images of their gods, music, dance, fertility rituals, and geometric patterns on their bodies for over 4,000 years." www.cloakanddaggerlondon.co.uk/tattoos-in-ancient-egypt/#....
The sculptor has dealt with the lion's tale in a satisfying way that is naturalistic as it curves around the haunch and also solves the creative problem of what to do with it.

How do you define "Grace"? How do you encapsulate one man's vision, which spans a life time, into one photograph? Well, I define grace as "undeserved favor" and I cannot encapsulate the vision into just one photo; therefore, I had to create a Photoshop version and still I don't feel as if I've touched the surface nor come close to doing justice of all that I was blessed to witness this afternoon.
This is Bill Lee. Bill has had a lifetime dream of building a boat. Not just any boat, mind you, but a 60 foot aluminum boat. It took Bill 10 years to get his wife to agree to this. In the midst of it, Bill was diagnosed with cancer. He had to take time away from building his boat to deal with the cancer, but has returned to working on it. His cancer has returned and he is once again fighting it yet continues to work on building his boat. To say that this dream-become-reality defines Bill would be too minor of a description. To say that this dream has been given him by God would be drawing closer to the heart of this man. To say that Bill has given his dream over to God to use for a purpose greater than his own would be spot on.
Bill has built this completely on his own. He even had to build machinery to do some of the tasks required for building this boat. It is an amazing thing to be standing in his shop with this large watercraft and not even be able to take it all in with my wide angle lens.
Bill's vision was initially to build a boat. It transitioned to building a boat and maybe taking people out fishing in the South Pacific. His vision now is changing to the possibility of transporting help to places that need it; remote destinations that he could get to by boat. I asked him why he chose the name "Grace". In a round about way, it refers to his favorite Bible passage, the 23rd Psalm, where God promises to go THROUGH the valley with us. He said he felt at times that he had been drug head first through the valley's but that always God's grace was there and, when he decided to just give his control over, God was then free to work in way's Bill never expected.
I'm struggling as I write this, trying to make it short but yet trying to convey the depth of Bill's heart and all he's experienced. He's a strong and certainly self sufficient man yet he has learned that being self sufficient is not enough. He needs God's Grace, mercy and guidance in order to live out his purpose here on earth. He's discovered that it's not really about him, but about what God wants of him.
It's an amazing walk of faith for this man, especially given all the circumstances he's had to deal with. While I might be tempted to worry about whether or not I'd be here a year from now, he's looking only at his time based on God's will for his life. I, for one, will be so excited to witness the first time "Grace" enters the waters off Camano Island. It will be not only the completion of Bill's long project, it will be the beginning of a new vision yet to be determined.
The fairing-encapsulated GOES-R spacecraft was mated with the launch vehicle in the Vertical Integration Facility at Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. on November 9, 2016.
GOES-R is scheduled to launch aboard the Atlas V rocket on November 19.

Technicians have finished encapsulating the European Service Module for NASA’s Orion spacecraft that will travel around the Moon on the first Artemis mission.
Like most spacecraft Orion will be launched inside protective fairings on top of its Space Launch System rocket. The spacecraft adapter jettison fairings have now been installed that protect the European Service Module during launch and are ejected shortly after liftoff.
The next time the European Service Module will be visible it will be in space, when the four 7-m-long solar wings unfold to start generating power for the spacecraft. The three fairings are each around 4 m square, the size of a small room, after launch they will be blown away by small pyrotechnic explosions revealing the four solar panels and the European Service Module underneath.
Above the European Service Module is the Crew Module where up to four astronauts will live and work on a typical two-week flight to the Moon and back. The first mission, Artemis I, will be uncrewed and is set to launch next year.
With the spacecraft jettisonable adapters installed at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida, USA, the European Service Module will not be easily visible on Earth again, although technicians can access the module to service it and fill the tanks with fuel, helium, nitrogen and ammonia for the cooling system and other consumables.
The final assembly activities for the spacecraft include installation of the forward bay cover, which protects the upper part of Orion including its parachutes throughout its mission, final adjustments of the main parachutes, securing and testing of electrical connections, along with closure and latching of the side hatch.
As each area of the spacecraft is closed out, it will undergo final inspections to complete production. The spacecraft will then begin its path to the pad, including stops along the way to be fuelled and integrated with its launch abort system and, ultimately, the SLS rocket for launch.
In December the European Service Module will be officially handed over to NASA’s launch preparation teams with ESA in a supporting role for Exploration Ground Support, during the mission and for post-flight analysis, as the spacecraft heads into final preparations for launch – a milestone for the hundreds of people involved who worked securely and tirelessly to make humankind's next-generation exploration vessel.
Meanwhile in Bremen, Germany, work is progressing smoothly on the second and third European Service Modules that will send astronauts around and to the Moon. Technicians are currently installing the four propellant tanks for the European Service Module for Artemis II.
