Back when the East Perth Power Station was built (around 1916) the powers that be asked a renowned electricity expert what frequency the station should generate at. He recommended 50 hertz, so (naturally) they decided to build the station at 40 hertz.
This was fine for a while, but by the 1940s 50 hertz was established as the standard, and East Perth's eccentric 40 hertz was causing big problems on the power grid. The solution was to build a big-ass transformer to kick the frequency up ten hertz and route the entire station's output through it.
Which is what they did - constructing the frequency switcher building to hold it.
Ain't industrial history grand?

The plane came in very tail heavy. I am not sure what the problem was but it was signifigant enough to scrub todays flight of ZA004. I heard on the BA BFI Ops Frequency they were talking with MTX about how high the nose was off the ground.

With the frequency changes 2 weeks ago, Turquosue 79's are now every 20 minutes with 2 buses on 79, but that means 1 bus an hour on route 79A. Meaning less buses, but the 2 spares aren't really needed to stay on this route. Due to this, they also changed the front to the new style which is very confusing as I'm always expected a repaint. But you'll soon grow into it.

During May 2001 Brighton & Hove took delivery of a batch of Dennis Trident 2 vehicles fitted with Plaxton President bodywork to add to the slowly growing low-floor double deck bus fleet in the city. Two such vehicles are seen here parked on Madeira Drive in Brighton during the event of the 2001 HCVS commercial vehicle run on Sunday 6th May 2001 with 843 'Sir John Cordy Burrows' and 841 'Thomas Attree' (along with 842 'Eugenius Birch' just out of shot on the right) all being used as stewarding and courtesy vehicles for the 2001 HCVS rally. All vehicles in this view were painted in the distinctive Brighton & Hove orange & cream livery for the high-frequency 'Metro' 5/5A/5B routes from Patcham or Hollingbury to Hangleton. Worthy of note are the dot-matrix route blinds.
Tried this effect once more (freehand). In color this time. I'm done with it now.

You gotta love the chutzpah of the man...as well as his genius.

=====================================================
Ornaments make up most of the life savings of many Khampa families, and so play an important role in Tibetan families' lives as well as in announcing the social status of the wearers. They are saved up for over many years and handed down for centuries from generation to generation within families. Until very recently, these families were nomadic and have to move every few months because of the snowy seasons in the Himalayas, so Khampas have always needed to store their wealth in portable form. So being unable to store wealth in the form of estates or houses or land or in a bank, for millenia wealth has been stored in art, precious fabrics, and particularly into ornaments.
Their culture is very conservative about the type of ornaments favored: for thousands of years jewelry made from amber, turquoise and coral have been worn because the stones are believed to hold spiritual power. Gold and silver and also naturally found in Tibet, and the use of these metals by the wealthy also goes back thousands of years. Their ornaments are very chunky, bold and colorful. While the gold earrings that Khampa women wear may have cost them a year or maybe several year's of their salary, ornaments carry so much social status in their society that probably didn't have to think twice about the purchase.
To the Khampa people these ornaments have the utmost sentimental value and significance, because they are the physical remnants of generations of their ancestors hard work or success. what these people are wearing is not just their life savings, but also their family history and treasure. this culture has been around for millenia - archeological finds from the 1st century AD in the khampa area unearthed ornaments that are essentially the same in design and materials as today's are. there are also beliefs that the stones provide good luck and protection to disease. dyed red coral is the most sought after stone, but interestingly tibet is very very far from any oceans - all the coral is imported by traders! Religious symbols from Tibetan Buddhism frequency form the designs of pieces, however archeological finds show that the role of ornaments in Tibetan society and peoples' lives long predate the arrival of Buddhism in Tibet. Indeed the beliefs of spiritual protection being provided by coral, amber and turquoise probably originate from the ancient shamanic Bon religion.
