.....Aardvark
The Aardvark, (Orycteropus afer) is a medium-sized, burrowing, nocturnal mammal native to Africa
Aardvarks are incredible diggers, so well equipped with powerful spoon shaped claws they can dig a hole faster than several men with shovels. They are elusive, nocturnal, pig-like creatures, widely distributed in sub-saharan Africa, and that live on a diet of ants and termites. They have long extensible tongues and flexible tubular snouts - perfect tools for sucking up over 50,000 insects in one sitting, which they then swallow whole.
Common names:
Antbear,
Anteater,
Cape anteater,
Earth hog,
Earth pig
"... Then I thought back to a moment, on Wednesday, when Twitter was carrying the instant news of Steve Jobs's leave of absence. At the exact same moment, came news of the death of Ricardo Montalban. ..."
There was an article on RWW making the observation that Google has missed the Real Time Web. [0] I saw this effect as the "Job's" story first hit Twitter, then Friendfeed where I read the first comments. So I quickly switched to "Google News" to see if the story had hit the Newswire. It had not. I reckon about 8-10 minutes passed before "Google News" picked up the first (unconfirmed) CNN reports. It took about an hour before Apple showed the email on their PR site.
The implications?
Friendfeed is linked to Twitter via XMPP [0] The first twitter post was from people who reached out for the most accessible medium to make their observations, Twitter. Friendfeed only showed those posts because it has (exclusive) access to Twitter via XMPP. And it was these comments I first read... almost real time. The time between the Twitter posts to Google picking up the first news wires is about 5-10m, probably less.
Twitter is to Google what TV is to Newspapers. [2]
some time later...
"... While I wouldn't say TV is by nature the bastion of unconfirmed and unreliable news, I take your point. More important, however, is the orginating source of the news. (something newspapers typically disclose but TV does not). ..."
Good points.
With online news sources you can (sort-of) evaluate the reliability of the source. Is "Dave from Scripting News reporting on the elections" more reliable than say "Kent Brockman reporting on Krusty getting busted". [3] Or is "Anonymous Coward reporting on Foo" the most reliable? The problems of identity and authenticity collide when the reporter "can" be anonymous.
"... If I see a report that's identified as a Reuters report, I'm very like going to give it more credence than the identical report without the source identification that appears elsewhere. ..."
I don't.
There has been a marked reduction in the quality of reporting, analysis of events trailing the decline of news as revenue source. Period. While there are still credible news organisations, The New York Times, [1] BBC, The Post, to name but a few. I find myself now always look for the criticism or the contrary responses of reported news before I evaluate what is reported as being true. Sources can only indicate reliability.
"... the thinning of the newspapers ranks inevitably means a thinning of producers of news for online sources to use and point to. This includes news agencies. ..."
This is a problem. We can no longer assume there is going to be the same quality of reporting I remember from the Woodward & Bernstein era. [5]

NASA satellites capture hourly views of our sun that are then used by scientists to study solar phenomena. The Space Weather Viewer provides the same images to anyone with an Internet connection. Visitors to the Space Weather Viewer site can zoom in on current satellite images to see solar storms and sunspots and other activity on as it happens on our nearest star, the Sun.
In addition to near-real time images, the site provides illustrations, NASA mission info, video simulations, and scientist interviews to give visitors a range of information on the Sun and solar phenomena. All the videos are broadcast-quality and visitors can download copies of all the media to their local computers, as well as captions for each video.
The application scales the satellite images to fill the browser window. All of the menu items and controls can be hidden to further maximize the size of the images. The minimalist design deliberately fades into the background to allow visitors to focus their attention on the beautiful imagery that composes the interactive.
The Space Weather Viewer was developed using Adobe Flex. This open source platform allowed us to quickly create the interface. The zoom feature and captioning feature were custom coded. All of the content on the site is external to application. The extensible markup language (XML) was used for descriptive text files and menus.

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
The Douglas A-4 Skyhawk was a single seat subsonic carrier-capable attack aircraft developed for the United States Navy and United States Marine Corps in the early 1950s. The delta winged, single turbojet engine Skyhawk was designed and produced by Douglas Aircraft Company, and later by McDonnell Douglas. It was originally designated A4D under the U.S. Navy's pre-1962 designation system. The Skyhawk was a relatively lightweight aircraft with a maximum takeoff weight of 24,500 pounds (11,100 kg) in its late versions and had a top speed of more than 670 miles per hour (1,080 km/h). Late versions were capable of carrying a bomb load equivalent to that of a World War II-era Boeing B-17 bomber and the aircraft supported a variety of missiles, bombs, and other munitions, including nuclear stores. The type saw an intensive career with the US Navy and the US Marine Corps during the Vietnam War era and was furthermore exported and operated by a wide range of countries all over the world, serving well into the 21st century.
One of the Skyhawk’s minor operators was Spain, specifically the Spanish Navy (Armada). Like the rest of the Spanish armed forces, the Spanish Navy had maintained Franco's policy of neutrality during World War II. Since the mid-20th century the Spanish Navy began a process of reorganization to become once again one of the major navies of the world. This not only included ships and submarines, but also an aerial warfare branch for coastal defense and to support the Infantería de Marina, the Spanish Navy Marines Corps. After the development of the Baleares-class frigates based on the US Navy's Knox class the Spanish Navy embraced the American naval doctrine and started to look for a light modern fighter bomber to equip a land-based attack squadron, with the prospect to eventually obtain an aircraft carrier and use the aircraft from it.
The choice fell in 1960 on the Douglas A-4, which offered a modern, compact and simple airframe with the desired option to operate the aircraft from older, smaller World War II-era aircraft carriers. These were still used by many smaller navies during the 1960s, and the Spanish Navy envisioned the procurement of one of more of these ships as operational basis for the new jet fighter force. These older ships were often unable to accommodate newer Navy fighters such as the F-4 Phantom II and F-8 Crusader, which were faster and more capable than the A-4, but significantly larger, heavier, complex and also costly than older naval fighters.
The Spanish Navy ordered a total of eighteen new Skyhawks from the USA, fourteen single-seaters and four trainers, locally called SA-4. The Armada’s Skyhawk attack variant was based on the A4D-2 (re-designated A-4B after 1962) but had, compared with the original US Navy aircraft, improved flight control systems and navigation, including an AN/APN-141 radar altimeter and a state-of-the-art AN/ASN-19A navigation computer. The trainers were equivalent with the US Navy's contemporary TA-4J variant.
Unlike the original A-4Bs, which lacked a radar and were therefore only suited for daytime operations, the Armada’s SA-4Bs were outfitted with a compact Dassault-built Aida radar unit within the aircraft's more pointed nose, giving them a unique profile among the Skyhawk family. Like the USN A-4Bs, the Spanish machines all had air-to-air refueling capabilities in the form of a fixed refueling probe, even though it was a cranked variant (intruduced on Amercian machines with the contemporary A-4F) to avoid interferences with the Aida radar. The SA-4Bs furthermore had the ability to carry a center-mounted "buddy store", a large external fuel tank with a hose reel in the aft section and an extensible drogue refueling bucket.
Alongside the Aida radar unit, a Swedish-made SAAB bombing computer was added to increase bombing accuracy. Specific to these machines were a TACAN receiver and a braking parachute under the tail for land operations. Internal armament remained the original pair of American 20 mm (0.79 in) Colt Mk 12 cannon with 200 RPG in the wing roots. For the Spanish Navy the SA-4Bs were outfitted with two additional underwing hardpoints and avionics for AIM-9B Sidewinder AAMs, so that they could carry a broader range of ground attack ordnance and operate in a limited aerial defense role, too. The SA-4Bs also had provision for radio-guided AGM-12 Bullpup missiles, which were the Skyhawks’ primary anti-ship weapon at the time. The missile avionics were housed in a shallow dorsal hump while a guidance antenna was mounted in a small bulge in ahead of the front landing gear well, so that the machine did not have to carry a respective external pod that would block a hardpoint.
The Skyhawk’s service in Spain was not long, though. In 1967, the mothballed US American light WWII aircraft carrier USS Cabot was loaned to Spain, becoming Dédalo, and the loan was eventually converted to a sale in 1972. By that time, the SA-4Bs – originally painted all-over dark blue – had been re-painted in a US Navy-style high-visibility scheme in Light Gull Grey over Whit and were operating from land bases only, allocated to 7th Squadron at Rota Naval Base near Cádiz in Andalusia The original plan to operate the SA-4Bs from Dédalo came to nought because the ship turned out to be too small to carry and deploy the Skyhawks properly, and the ship’s wooden deck would not withstand the stress from the modern jets’ frequent aircraft starts and landings. A new all-metal deck was not possible, due to budget and weight issues. In consequence the Armada’s SA-4s remained land-based and the Spanish Navy employed Dédalo as a helicopter-only antisubmarine warfare carrier with the SH-3D Sea King.
Attempts to add a fixed-wing strikeforce to the venerable carrier were made, though: On 8 November 1972 a Hawker Siddeley Harrier was successfully tested on the Dédalo’s deck, a first in the history of the plane. It was decided to order and deploy short-take-off-and-vertical-landing (STOVL) AV-8S Matadors (AV-8A Harrier) when Dédalo was overhauled. Since the Harriers' downdraft on vertical landing would have damaged the wooden deck, protective metal sheathing was installed on the rear area of the flight deck – a very convenient compromise.
Spain's purchase of Harriers was complicated by long-standing political friction between the British and Spanish governments of the era, though, and even though the Harriers were manufactured in the UK they were sold to Spain only with the US acting as an intermediary. The lengthy negotiation process was bridged by the SA-4s as well as a batch of AH-1G Cobra attack helicopters.
The first batch of six AV-8S single seat and two TAV-8S two seat aircraft were delivered to the Armada Española throughout 1976 and started carrier operations. Due to budget limitations and to simplify maintenance and logistics, the Spanish navy decided in 1977 to phase the Skyhawks out in favor of the more versatile Harrier, which could provide both air defense and strike capabilities for the Spanish fleet. A second batch of five AV-8S aircraft, now directly procured from UK mainly to replace losses, was delivered in 1980-. With this delivery the Spanish Skyhawks were retired and sold to Singapore, to be converted and upgraded by Douglas into A-4S-1s and later into A-4SU ‘Super Skyhawks’. With its Harrier fleet completed, Dédalo then typically carried an air group of eight AV-8S fighters, four Sea King antisubmarine warfare helicopters and four AB 212ASW Twin Hueys.

[b]The kit and its assembly:[/b]
This simple project was built on short notice after a 1-week extension had been issued for the “Sixties” Group Build at whatifmodellers.com. I had the idea for a Spanish Navy Skyhawk for some time and already stashed away a kit (Airfix, new mould) and a decal sheet from a Special Hobby AH-1 in Spanish markings – but originally planned to assemble it during a “One Week GB”.
However, since the aircraft would fall into the Sixties’ time frame and had nothing else on the work bench I decided to add a final/3rd entry into the GB.
The Airfix A-4B/Q kit goes together nicely, even though the plastic appeared a bit soft and somewhat waxy. It was basically built OOB, using the A-4Q’s small dorsal hump for AGM-12 avionics, and with a modified nose: I transplanted the small conical radome from an IAI Kfir onto the Skyhawk’s nose, what made it IMHO look like a prototype aircraft, added an bulged fairing for the AGM-12’s guidance antenna behind it (the small blade antenna on the front landing gear cover does this job in real life!) for an even different look, and I added scratched ejection trigger handles to the seat. The flaps and the air brakes were, after the photo session, mounted in open/extended position, and the ordnance was changed to a pair of AGM-12A Bullpups on scratched launch rails on the outer underwing pylons (IIRC left over from a Fujimi A-4C kit).
[b]Painting and markings:[/b]
Inspiration came from the small Spanish AH-1G Cobra fleet: I wondered if an naval attack aircraft would have carried the same attractive all-blue livery (probably FS35042, USN Gloss Sea Blue, but in photos the AH-1s appear darker and less greenish)? Therefore, the paint scheme was easily settled, even though I used a darker and rather dull/greyish tone as a basis: Humbrol 112 (Tarmac). The landing gear wells and the air intakes were painted gloss white, while the inside of the flaps and the air brakes became bright red – a stark contrast, but very attractive, together with the bright markings.
The cockpit was painted in medium grey.
After basic painting the kit received a black ink washing and some panel shading, in this case with FS35042, because it would subtly add some plasticity
The markings are a mix of decals from a Special Hobby AH-1, together with wing roundels from an AV-8S Matador and some other small bits. The St. Andrews flag on the fin was improvised with generic decal material – even though it was a bit overdone because no Spanish Navy aircraft carries this marking, only the air force machines – and Spanish P-3As in their early USN-style livery? It is, however, a nice detail, and to make it not too obtrusive I limited the fin flash to the rudder’s tip – even though it still stands out on the all dark blue airframe.
Thin white decal lines were used to create the canopy seals, the red warning markings around the air intakes were created with decals (from the optional Argentinian A-4Q from the Airfix kit, very convenient for a Spanish aircraft) and paint.
The kit was sealed with a coat of semi-gloss acrylic varnish, for a clean and shiny look, and the metallic exhaust and the jet pipe were treated with graphite to make the area look darker and burnt.
A quick build, realized over a weekend, even though, due to the Humbrol 112’s poor quality, the finish did not turn out as clean as I had hoped for. The all-blue livery, together with the red and yellow roundels and the other bold marking, suit the Skyhawk very well, it looks IMHO very attractive in this guise, despite the scheme’s simplicity.

El conjunt es complementa per les construccions que hi ha ocupant el solar de l'altre costat del carrer, on, per cert hi ha un mil·liari romà, que no ens va ser mostrat.
Observacions: Aquesta casa forma tot un conjunt d'interès arquitectònic de caire netament urbà. Davant la casa hi ha la pallissa, també de valor patrimonial, on es troba un mil·liari romà.
La casa presenta un valor arquitectònic indubtable, que no te sentit sense la valoració de l'entorn urbà. Aquest valor es fa extensible també al subsòl, ja que es molt probable la presència d'elements de vàlua arqueològica, com poden ser sitges, de les quals es coneix per informació oral la seva presència en tota aquesta zona de Les Gunyoles.
També per informació oral se sap que el gruix de molts dels seus murs es potent, per la qual cosa alguns dels seus antics habitants pensaven que devien formar un conjunt amb les restes romanes de la torre que es troba a prop.

Japanese three colour Imari porcelain dish with fluted rim.
The under glaze blue decoration is of the gosu type and is mainly applied with under glaze blue blue stencils (konnyaku(). The under side rim is stencilled with two groups of three, depicting some of the various treasures, scrolls or books (makimono) and coin (shippo). The dish has six support scars which is a common feature on Edo period Japanese porcelain.
Date: Konnyaku revival - late Edo period circa 1850
Diameter:22cm
An extract from an article by Irene Finch: Konnyaku – How was it done, and when, and what are the implications?
Stencilling can be identified by the broken lines, as continuous lines would weaken the stencil paper too much. This was not really paper as we know it, but seems to have been the same material that was used for stencilling textiles, described in detail by Faulkner, in 1988. It consisted of fairly thick, slightly extensible, rather rubbery sheets, which were made from polymerised persimmon juice, which we would nowadays call a “plastics material”, but it was reinforced with criss-cross mulberry bark fibres. Stencilling with this “paper” was also used in this period for finer examples than the deer that is illustrated here, and some included brocading. These were made for the Japanese market and are rarely seen in the West. (I have photos and can give a Shibata ref, but my pieces are now in the V&A: can give ref). It was usual for some freehand additions to be made to the stencilling, especially when long lines were needed, but often the whole dish was stencilled, so because of the curvature of the dish the flat stencil paper gave problems. Sometimes therefore the dish was fluted at the edge to take a slight frill. On a bowl the design could consist, in effect, of a wide stencilled border, with a separate central freehand design that was sometimes varied. (I do have one of these, still, and can give ref to one I gave to V&A) After stencilling was stopped in the 1720’s, it was revived in a slightly coarse form in the 19th century, and used mainly for complex brocaded designs in Shonsui style. It was indeed so successful at this stage that transfer printing was delayed in Arita. (I do have some examples still)
The stamping is called konnyaku, a name nowadays known best as applied to a “health food”. It is made in the form of a stiff blancmange, from an unusual form of starch that cannot be digested by man. This starch is extracted from the corm at the base of a large, cultivated species of Arum lily, called the konnyaku or Devil’s Tongue in Japan because the central “tongue” is very large. In England, starch from the small English arum was used in Elizabethan times for starching ruffs: wheat flour could not be used because the gluten would go brown when ironed. The konnyaku stamps are usually quite small, with many repeats, often rather blurry on export examples like this one, and very blurry on the little central prunus found on many pieces exported to S. E. Asia. (I have one of these still)
Among the many Chinese sherds found in a Thailand river by Richard Kilburn were some Japanese examples of this type, which are now at the Percival David Foundation. However the konnyaku stamps that were made for the Japanese market were sharper on some more formal designs, with fewer freehand additions. Examples of these can be seen in the Shibata Collection, Book VI, published by the Kyushu Ceramic Museum. A notable feature is that the stamps are made entirely of continuous lines of even thickness, except for one rare example, now in the V&A Museum, where it is made up of numerous little oval leaves. (I can only offer photo, if wanted)
Some English authorities have suggested that konnyaku was done with leather stamps, but the Japanese do not believe this. It would be unwise and unlikely for leather to be cut into thin strips or tiny leaves to stick to a wooden holder. There is only one possible suggestion that accounts for both the name and these features of the style. I suggest that grooves were cut in a plaster or clay (subsequently baked) base, and a thick hot paste of konnyaku was pressed against it, which would stiffen on cooling. I have made a mock-up of the process with corn-starch, by heating the thick mixture for one second at a time in a microwave oven and stirring in between. I pressed the putty-like mixture against a grooved plastic bottle, and used the result successfully for stamping with ink on paper. Though such stamps would quickly wear out and become blurry, many more could be made quickly and easily from the same mould. After the use of konnyaku ceased in Arita, it was not revived again in Japan, but it was used extensively in China, probably in the 19th century, though dating is difficult.
The implications of the Japanese dating are important for the dating of Nabeshima. Nabeshima used a form of stencilling to make the tiny markers that guided their otherwise freehand pictures, for example the floral ones with simple exact repeats, that were strongly outlined in blue. These outlines were rather thick, and moreover of even thickness on all the Classical designs, presumably because it would be very difficult to make the famous exact copies if the line varied in width. The even lines and simple small repeats looked, however, quite similar to good konnyaku, which was, of course, a cheaper product. Though a Nabeshima starting date in 1722 was once suggested by most experts, in recent years a 17th century date has been more popular, and is of course much more to the taste of collectors. There is no factual evidence for the 17th century date (see Finch, TOCS Newsletter 2006 and Ko Nabeshima A New View, Edition 3, 2006). The stencilling and konnyaku described above do however provide evidence for a 1720.s date. They were both very successful methods, and both suddenly stopped, for no obvious reason, around this time. The reason for this could however be explainable if the official Nabeshima kiln took over the trained Arita workpeople, and did not want cheaper rivals. Although if the 17th C date is accepted, students will find it difficult to account for the fact that these two techniques were allowed to continue for another fifty years, and then both stopped, for no known reason.

Cloud based facial identity managment -
Accurate identity resolution is an absolute necessity in law enforcement, security and military intelligence. The need to make precise facial identifications as quickly as possible is more pressing than ever before. Animetrics’ FaceR™ Identity Management Solution (FIMS) enables organizations to bring a new generation of advanced and powerful mobile security and video surveillance facial-biometrics applications into the field for use in real time. These applications can now be deployed from a centrally managed platform, resulting in fast, efficient and precise identity resolution.
Leveraging Animetrics’ patented FACEngine™ 2D-3D facial-recognition technology and an extensible Web- or cloud-based services architecture, FIMS allows military intelligence, law enforcement and homeland security professionals to deploy a robust and comprehensive facial identity management solution with flexibility, speed and agility. Organizations can utilize FIMS with its FaceR facial-recognition applications in various distributed environments and geographies, allowing them to easily build, store and access a database of subjects’ facial images from Web-connected endpoints such as smartphones, digital cameras and other devices that support still photography and video.
Robust, Centralized and Scalable Facial Identity Management
FIMS is deployed either via Web server (FIMS SQL) or in a cloud-based architecture system (FIMS Cloud). Both configurations provide centralized and scalable management of highly distributed “one-to-many” identity searches in the field. FIMS utilizes Animetrics’ FACEngine biometric facial-recognition technology that converts 2D images to accurate 3D geometries for enhanced biometric templates. FIMS makes these 3D facial “signatures” for identification purposes available to credentialed users via any mobile or fixed digital device with Internet connectivity. This powerful combination delivers today’s most advanced facial-recognition and comparison technology to personnel in the field, providing faster and more accurate results.
Comprehensive Facial Recognition Solution
Powerful FACEngine technology transforms flat 2D facial images into 3D avatar and unique facial signatures.
Facial images/signatures scored and enrolled in FIMS database
Powerful search and analysis capabilities match them against the stored enrolled images in the FIMS database or third-party database.
Provides all management and control for Animetrics FaceR applications

NASA satellites capture hourly views of our sun that are then used by scientists to study solar phenomena. The Space Weather Viewer provides the same images to anyone with an Internet connection. Visitors to the Space Weather Viewer site can zoom in on current satellite images to see solar storms and sunspots and other activity on as it happens on our nearest star, the Sun.
In addition to near-real time images, the site provides illustrations, NASA mission info, video simulations, and scientist interviews to give visitors a range of information on the Sun and solar phenomena. All the videos are broadcast-quality and visitors can download copies of all the media to their local computers, as well as captions for each video.
The application scales the satellite images to fill the browser window. All of the menu items and controls can be hidden to further maximize the size of the images. The minimalist design deliberately fades into the background to allow visitors to focus their attention on the beautiful imagery that composes the interactive.
The Space Weather Viewer was developed using Adobe Flex. This open source platform allowed us to quickly create the interface. The zoom feature and captioning feature were custom coded. All of the content on the site is external to application. The extensible markup language (XML) was used for descriptive text files and menus.
Developed by Ideum with NASA. To learn more about this exhibit please visit our portfolio.
Japanese three colour Imari porcelain dish with fluted rim.
The under glaze blue decoration is of the gosu type and is mainly applied with under glaze blue blue stencils (konnyaku(). The under side rim is stencilled with two groups of three, depicting some of the various treasures, scrolls or books (makimono) and coin (shippo). The dish has six support scars which is a common feature on Edo period Japanese porcelain.
Date: Konnyaku revival - late Edo period circa 1850
Diameter:22cm
An extract from an article by Irene Finch: Konnyaku – How was it done, and when, and what are the implications?
Stencilling can be identified by the broken lines, as continuous lines would weaken the stencil paper too much. This was not really paper as we know it, but seems to have been the same material that was used for stencilling textiles, described in detail by Faulkner, in 1988. It consisted of fairly thick, slightly extensible, rather rubbery sheets, which were made from polymerised persimmon juice, which we would nowadays call a “plastics material”, but it was reinforced with criss-cross mulberry bark fibres. Stencilling with this “paper” was also used in this period for finer examples than the deer that is illustrated here, and some included brocading. These were made for the Japanese market and are rarely seen in the West. (I have photos and can give a Shibata ref, but my pieces are now in the V&A: can give ref). It was usual for some freehand additions to be made to the stencilling, especially when long lines were needed, but often the whole dish was stencilled, so because of the curvature of the dish the flat stencil paper gave problems. Sometimes therefore the dish was fluted at the edge to take a slight frill. On a bowl the design could consist, in effect, of a wide stencilled border, with a separate central freehand design that was sometimes varied. (I do have one of these, still, and can give ref to one I gave to V&A) After stencilling was stopped in the 1720’s, it was revived in a slightly coarse form in the 19th century, and used mainly for complex brocaded designs in Shonsui style. It was indeed so successful at this stage that transfer printing was delayed in Arita. (I do have some examples still)
The stamping is called konnyaku, a name nowadays known best as applied to a “health food”. It is made in the form of a stiff blancmange, from an unusual form of starch that cannot be digested by man. This starch is extracted from the corm at the base of a large, cultivated species of Arum lily, called the konnyaku or Devil’s Tongue in Japan because the central “tongue” is very large. In England, starch from the small English arum was used in Elizabethan times for starching ruffs: wheat flour could not be used because the gluten would go brown when ironed. The konnyaku stamps are usually quite small, with many repeats, often rather blurry on export examples like this one, and very blurry on the little central prunus found on many pieces exported to S. E. Asia. (I have one of these still)
Among the many Chinese sherds found in a Thailand river by Richard Kilburn were some Japanese examples of this type, which are now at the Percival David Foundation. However the konnyaku stamps that were made for the Japanese market were sharper on some more formal designs, with fewer freehand additions. Examples of these can be seen in the Shibata Collection, Book VI, published by the Kyushu Ceramic Museum. A notable feature is that the stamps are made entirely of continuous lines of even thickness, except for one rare example, now in the V&A Museum, where it is made up of numerous little oval leaves. (I can only offer photo, if wanted)
Some English authorities have suggested that konnyaku was done with leather stamps, but the Japanese do not believe this. It would be unwise and unlikely for leather to be cut into thin strips or tiny leaves to stick to a wooden holder. There is only one possible suggestion that accounts for both the name and these features of the style. I suggest that grooves were cut in a plaster or clay (subsequently baked) base, and a thick hot paste of konnyaku was pressed against it, which would stiffen on cooling. I have made a mock-up of the process with corn-starch, by heating the thick mixture for one second at a time in a microwave oven and stirring in between. I pressed the putty-like mixture against a grooved plastic bottle, and used the result successfully for stamping with ink on paper. Though such stamps would quickly wear out and become blurry, many more could be made quickly and easily from the same mould. After the use of konnyaku ceased in Arita, it was not revived again in Japan, but it was used extensively in China, probably in the 19th century, though dating is difficult.
The implications of the Japanese dating are important for the dating of Nabeshima. Nabeshima used a form of stencilling to make the tiny markers that guided their otherwise freehand pictures, for example the floral ones with simple exact repeats, that were strongly outlined in blue. These outlines were rather thick, and moreover of even thickness on all the Classical designs, presumably because it would be very difficult to make the famous exact copies if the line varied in width.

Classic British workhorse telephone that served from the late 1930s - 1970s, in one form or another. This particular instrument was refurbished by the GPO in 1967 at their Cwmcarn factory in Wales.
It would be here that the 'receiver, 2P', Earpiece No:23, and extensible handset cord were fitted, as well as wiring upgrades.
The suffix 'F' indicates that the dial has figures on it, rather than letters and figures as found in a director exchange area.
This is the Cave Shredder, a powerfull shredding machine used by the Power Miners.
Features:
- The torso can spin in 360 degrees through a gears system.
- The claw open and closes.
- 1-stud (:P) extensible chopper blades, which can spin through a system made using a rubber elastic piece.
I didn't post in Flickr because of the length... =(

A representative soil profile of a Typic Hapludalf from Langlade County, NE Wisconsin. (Photo provided by R. Schaetzl.)
Typic Hapludalfs are the Hapludalfs fixed on freely drained soils that have an argillic horizon that does not have an abrupt upper boundary, that does not have interfingering of albic materials, that has a relatively high base saturation, and that has a loamy or clayey texture and is not composed entirely of thin lamellae. In addition, these soils are deep or moderately deep to hard rock, have a light colored plow layer, and do not have a thick epipedon with a sandy or sandy-skeletal particle-size class throughout. They do not have slickensides, wedge-shaped aggregates, a high linear extensibility, or wide cracks. An abrupt upper boundary of the argillic horizon and redox concentrations in the argillic horizon are properties shared with Albaqualfs and Albaquults and define intergrades to those great groups. If the upper 25 cm of the argillic horizon has aquic conditions for some time in normal years (or artificial drainage) and redox depletions with chroma of 2 or less, or saturation with water within 100 cm of the surface for extended periods, the soil is excluded from Typic Hapludalfs because these properties are shared with Aqualfs. A relatively low base saturation in the deeper horizons is a property shared with Ultisols and is used to define the intergrades to that order. Soils that have slickensides, wedge-shaped aggregates, a high linear extensibility, or wide cracks are excluded from the Typic Hapludalfs because these properties are shared with Vertisols.
Because most Hapludalfs have been cultivated extensively, many have lost their eluvial horizons. These soils formed principally in late-Pleistocene deposits or on a surface of comparable age. They are extensive soils in the Northeastern States, excluding New England, and in Europe, excluding most of Scandinavia. The vegetation on Hapludalfs in the United States was a deciduous broadleaf forest, but the soils are now mostly farmed. Temperature regimes are mesic or thermic.

it's Dick Hardt, of course, the one who makes a habit of identity-related puns.
Lately, he's been working on <a
href="http://www.sxipper.com/">Sxipper.
No, it's not an identity framework or a would-be
standard. It's a low-overhead Firefox plug-in
that deals with the world the way it is, coming out in a couple of weeks.
In short, it's a learning version of those
familiar adware wallet tools. (The business
model is to charge for premium services.) With
Sxipper, you keep your own personal data locally,
stored in your browser (by the plug-in extension,
actually). Meanwhile, Sxipper reads most Web
fill-in-the-blanks forms and maps their fields
onto your data. (Yes, you can have multiple
personas for work/home addresses, etc.)
But as anyone who has used these tools knows
they often mess up, entering your address where
your name should be, and so forth. Sxipper is
extensible; it lets users map new forms by
filling in their own data, which implicitly
identifies the fields and then it stores the
mapping on the Sxipper server. When user B comes
to the same site/form, Sxipper fetches the
mapping from the Sxipper server. So rather than
do a lot of semantic tagging itself, Sxipper
relies on user-generated metadata to parse each
new form once only, and then shares the results among its users. Pretty cool.
