HISTORICAL NOTE: datestone to right at base of tower

inscribed, 'The Lady Mary Lygon Mayoress opened this building

October 1 1896 The Rt Hon Earl Beauchamp Mayor.'

During the C18 Foregate Street was known as 'the mall' and

Tymbs' Worcester Guide of 1802 notes, 'the Foregate Street

itself, by being well paved and sufficiently broad to admit a

full circulation of air seems to be generally resorted to as a

fashionable promenade.'

 

Pevsner: describes this as 'a resourceful and animated,

totally asymmetrical composition in a mixed Tudor and Baroque

style'. Simpson and Allen had, earlier in the decade, won the

competition for the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum. This is an

outstanding example of late C19 municipal architecture of this

type, in its eclectic use of style redolent of the municipal

libraries of H.T. Hare, such as Wolverhampton (1902).

 

The Shire Hall, Statue of Queen Victoria, City Museum and

Library, and Nos 15, 19, 22, 23, 24, 28, Nos 33-46

(consecutive) and No.49, Foregate Street (qqv) form a

significant group. The City Museum and Library also forms a

complimentary group with Worcester College, Sansome Walk (qv).

U.S. Army Africa chef earns top honors in culinary competition

 

By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Africa

 

VICENZA, Italy – When Sgt. Ken Turman drizzled thickened meat juice around a plate of herb pork tenderloin crepinette, he was putting the finishing touches on an entrée that would take top honors at the 35th U.S. Army Culinary Arts Competition.

 

Turman, a U.S. Army Africa chef who works at Caserma Ederle’s South of the Alps dining facility, served as team captain for U.S. Army Europe’s team during the March 12 competition at Fort Lee, Va.

 

“Sgt. Turman's performance at the competition was exemplary,” said Maj. L. Trice Burkes, commander of Headquarters Support Company, U.S. Army Africa. “His accolades clearly represent years of commitment to the culinary field. We’re honored to have such an NCO among our ranks.”

 

Overall, the USARUER team earned 22 gold, nine silver and five bronze awards. The military chefs also earned the top team prize, the Installation of the Year award. It’s the first time since 1992 that a USAREUR team received the title. The USAREUR team also won the best team buffet table award.

 

“Sgt. Turman showed a keen ability to grasp advanced cookery skills and methods along with understanding the requirements of the rules established for the culinary competition, enabling him to be quite successful,” said Sgt. Maj. Mark Warren, from USAREUR’s logistics directorate, who managed the team.

 

The meal that won gold for the team included an appetizer of seared salmon on a bed of tagliatelle vegetables, served with a citrus wine cream sauce and tomatoes concasse. The main dish included the herb pork tenderloin crepinette and braised pork belly with savory crimini mushroom bread pudding, plus carrot and ginger puree served with pearl onions, peas and creamed Savoy cabbage. The natural jus-lie – thickened meat sauce – was the final touch.

 

Following the entrée was a desert of streusel-baked apple with mascarpone cream filling, pistachio sponge cake with raspberry cream and chocolate décor served with warm apples and raspberries in vanilla syrup with lemon.

 

Turman also served as captain of the student skills team. He received a silver medal in the senior chef of the year category and took gold in both the nutritional hot food challenge and in live hot food cooking. Turman was also selected to represent the Army during the Culinary Olympics World Cup this November in Luxembourg.

 

Warren is encouraged to see younger chefs like Turman develop skills and study the finer points of cookery, he said.

 

“I would expect to see great achievements and advancement in his future,” Warren said.

From dudleyfarm.com/history/, "The Dudley Farm was built in 1845 by Erastus Dudley, a prosperous North Guilford farmer, gristmill and tannery owner. Today, the house, barns and surrounding ten picturesque acres occupy a portion of the land farmed by the Dudley family for almost 300 years."

Corinda, an interwar residential suburb, is 9 km south-west of central Brisbane. It was possibly named after a local property owned by Sir Arthur Palmer, which he named after his Corinda pastoral station near Aramac.

 

Corinda has the Brisbane River as its western boundary and the Oxley Creek on its east. The landscape rises sharply from the river and only a narrow margin of land was flooded in 1893 and 1974. The suburb is slightly more flood prone on the east, mainly near the high school. With hilly ground on the west, it is that part which is generally more favoured in the real estate market.

 

An early farming family chose the elevated spot now known as Francis Lookout as a cemetery (c1863). The lookout, at the corner of Dewar Terrace and Hilda Street, is listed on the Queensland heritage register. Twelve years later the Brisbane to Ipswich railway line was built through Corinda, and nine years after then a branch line was opened from Corinda to the South Brisbane wharves (Stanley Street). The new line was needed to transport Ipswich coal to the wharves, and Corinda was known as South Brisbane Junction until 1888.

 

During the 1890s Corinda's social infrastructure took shape with cricket and tennis clubs (1892, 1893) and a school of arts (1895). The Sherwood divisional board met in Corinda. Schools came somewhat later: primary education had been provided in neighbouring Oxley and Sherwood since the 1870s, and it was the Catholic Church which opened the first school in Corinda at Our Lady of Sacred Heart convent in 1917. It is now St Joseph's primary school. The Anglican Church followed with St Aiden's girls' school (1-12) in 1929. State schools were opened in 1927 (Corinda primary) and 1960 (high school). The high school's enrolment peaked at 1590 in 1964.

 

Most of Corinda was subdivided for housing with recreation areas provided at Dunlop Park on Oxley Road and Nosworthy Park on Oxley Creek. The latter is below flood level, and includes the Corinda bowls club.

 

A shopping area developed in Oxley Road near the railway station, along with the Corinda Hall and a new Catholic church a short distance north. Housing is a mixture of Queenslanders and early postwar dwellings. The shopping area has maintained its viability with a Coles supermarket and no nearby drive-in to erode its retail catchment. In 2001-02 Corinda recorded the second highest rise for metropolitan house prices, slightly behind Manly. The best locations are west of the railway line with views to Mount Coot-tha.

Dos paredes medianeras se enfrentan, en ellas, la imaginación de Aryz ha plasmado dos obras diametralmente opuestas. En un lado, un guerrero griego, Ulises tal vez, con una flecha clavada en el corazón que pugna por arrancarse. Frente a él, un bodegón con jarra y vaso.

Paisaje Sur. Plan de Mejora del Paisaje Urbano en Usera y Villaverde

  

Artistas de vanguardia decoran las fachadas, muros y otras zonas con “graffitis” de diseño

Un experimento sociológico en Nueva York instaló dos coches en barrios muy diferentes de esta ciudad: el suburbial Bronx, y el bohemio y elegante Village. A ambos vehículos se les rompieron las ventanillas. El que se colocó en el Bronx, a las 24 horas había sido vandalizado y estaba destrozado. El del Village, lo mismo. “Cuando un espacio está degenerado, esa sensación se contagia, y se acelera la degradación”, concluye el concejal de Las Artes, Pedro Corral. Precisamente para evitar este efecto, se han elegido los distritos de Usera y Villaverde para la segunda experiencia de Mejora del Paisaje Urbano en la capital, un experimento que lleva el arte urbano más vanguardista a las zonas degradadas de los distritos periféricos. La idea es convertir lo que hasta ahora era un espacio abandonado –una tapia de un solar, una fachada, un muro medianero entre bloques...– en una referencia artística para los vecinos. Lo hacen contando con éstos, con artistas vinculados a los barrios y de renombre en el panorama del arte urbano. Con sus creaciones, dan una nueva vida a lugares que están abandonados, sin uso o que el tiempo ha deteriorado. Les dotan de una nueva personalidad, y en función del artista y de la inspiración del lugar, pueden llegar a transformar una plaza, un solar o una medianería sin aparente gracia en un rincón lleno de arte, y convertir las calles en auténticos museos al aire libre.

Este plan, desarrollado por la Dirección General de Patrimonio Cultural y Calidad del Paisaje Urbano del Ayuntamiento de Madrid, se enmarca en las líneas estratégicas encaminadas al fomento de la creatividad, la participación pública, la colaboración con los distritos y la difusión del paisaje urbano.

Paisaje Sur engloba un conjunto de actuaciones en Usera y Villaverde, tras el éxito del proyecto piloto en el distrito de Tetuán. Las acciones incluyen intervenciones sobre muros deteriorados, en plazas duras y la mejora y acondicionamiento de huertos urbanos. Participan artistas y colectivos, organizaciones ciudadanas, agentes culturales, económicos y sociales de los barrios, en coordinación con las Juntas Municipales de distrito. Los espacios y el tipo de intervenciones se han decidido tras analizar las necesidades de cada distrito así como los posibles ámbitos de actuación del proyecto. Además se ha contactado con el tejido asociativo y vecinal de los diferentes espacios a intervenir para involucrar a los vecinos en esta "puesta en valor" de sus barrios.

Entre las intervenciones, se encuentran murales realizados por creadores y colectivos de artistas radicados en el distrito. También se han acondicionado espacios o solares con huertos urbanos ya creados por los vecinos, con la intención de mejorar sus infraestructuras y dar apoyo a sus usuarios. Asimismo, se van a realizar acciones sobre plazas duras, mediante la creación de infraestructuras y espacios culturales portátiles demandados por los vecinos en plazas con poco uso para su gestión ciudadana. Se organizan, además, charlas con los vecinos para explicarles las acciones y se han nombrado coordinadores vecinales para que, como agentes sociales con conocimiento del contexto social y cultural, coordinen y difundan el proyecto dentro de cada uno de los barrios a través de visitas guiadas.

Estos proyectos se están llevando a cabo de la mano de Intermediae-Matadero Madrid, que han contado con Basurama, PEC, Todo por la Praxis, Zuloark, Las Ciento Volando, Jóvenes Creadores de Villaverde, Cruz Roja de Villaverde, Asociación Vecinal La Incolora de Villaverde, Servicio de Dinamización de Espacios Públicos de la Asociación La Rueca, Asociación de Vecinos Zofío de Usera, Sala Kubik Fabril y Espacio Oculto. Además han participado destacados artistas como LAGUNA, 3TTMAN, SUE, SPOCK y DOSJOTAS en el distrito de Usera; y LIQEN, ESCIF, SAM3, ARYZ y E1000 en el distrito de Villaverde.

Durante el año 2014, se han realizado doce de estas intervenciones en varias localizaciones diferentes

Part of a Set / Slideshow documenting the art works on display at the touring exhibition "Postcards from Japan", subtitled "A message from Tohoku artists". The photographs were taken while the exhibition was hosted by the Embassy of Japan, London, UK.

 

Title: Extract Light 11011

Artist: ISHIKAWA Minako 石川美奈子 - living in Odawara

Artist's website: www.g-trinity.com/artist/en_ishikawaminako.html [日本語 and English]

Media: Translucent acrylic, tinted with pigments, on translucent acrylic board

 

The exhibition has been curated and organised by Scottish and Japanese artists and sculptors Kate THOMSON and KATAGIRI Hironori. They are based both in Scotland and their Ukishima Sulpture Studio in Iwate prefecture, part of the Tohoku region. They were living and working in Iwate when the Great Earthquake and Tsunami struck the pacific coast on 11th March 2011.

 

Electricty, telephone and internet services (fixed and mobile) all stopped (or had to be prioritised for emergency relief purposes), and retail supplies of bottled drinking water and petrol (gasoline) quickly ran out.

 

Japan Post proved the most resilient communications service for people living in the affected areas. It was often the first service available for people to check on the welfare of friends and relatives. This is the inspiration behind the theme of the exhibition. All the works are A5 postcard sized - measuring 21 x14.8 cm (approximately 8.3 x 5.8 inches).

The exhibition is part of the Postcard project [www.postcardproject.org/], the catalogue is available for purchase online [scroll down to foot of page] with profits used to sustain the project.

 

The exhibition has been supported by the The Great Britain Sasakawa Foundation and The Daiwa Anglo-Japanese Foundation.

 

Long exposures on a tripod enabled the use of a slow - low noise - sensor setting and small aperture settings to optimise the depth of field. The frames were glazed, and so the art works were photographed at an angle - to avoid reflections of the camera and tripod. A dark coat was also used to minimise visible reflections. The images were subsequently adjusted to appear rectilinear - using Photoshop's lens correction "Perspective" and "Barrel Distortion" functions, and also the "Distort" transformation. This is why the images of the frames have one point perspective, with an offset vanishing point. Some "Smart Sharpening" was also selectively used.

An impressive show of beautiful cars and models

 

I was really surprised with the extremely friendly behavior of the models I photographed. Despite the huge crowd of a Saturday afternoon I managed to collect some thrilling smiles and poses.

 

This show was a great opportunity to do a kind of picture I really like: Model Photography.

 

For all the shots I used my D300 together with my fantastic and sharp Nikon 50mm f/1.4D plus a SB-800 with diffuser mounted on the camera in iTTL mode. It really worked like a charm.

Sometimes I forget that I hate the fashion industry. I mean, aside from all the politics, there is the fact that many of the people who work in it (it is not a stereotype) have quite an attitude. This makes something as simple and lovely as giving a compliment somewhat of a terrifying experience, as the girls will happily sneer and move their Jill Sanders bag closer to their size 00 bony bodies.

 

Incidentally, the one person who caught my eye more than any of the cliche industry people (+the Olsen twins and related celebrities) at the Isaac Mizhrai for QVC preview was miss Jennifer here. Whose classic movie starlet looks and darling accessories (those shoes!) were hard not to want to remember. Turns out Jennifer is a blogger (yay!), over at entertainment/fashion/gossip/lifestyle blog Scenestirz. So called "recession socialites" who I much prefer over the "real" socialites.

Nakayan says: (Nakayan is the nickname of Koji Nakaya)

The rooftop garden of the building which appears from the Victoria peak of Hong Kong was photographed in the style of a miniature garden. although it does not understand whether it is an apartment, whether it is a home, and whether they are some institutions -- the merit of a feeling -- it is the roof where that is right.

Geschichte

******************************************************************************************************************

.

.

.

Die F-irmen A.E.G und B.orsig, welche die Haupthersteller dieser Maschinen waren, sowie H.enschel,

H.ohenzollern, K.rupp und B.M.A.G vormals S.chwartzkopff lieferten zwischen 1.9.2.6 und 1.9.3.8

insgesamt 231 Exemplare dieser Einheitslokomotive für den schnellen Reisezugverkehr an die

Deutsche Reichsbahn.

 

Zunächst wurden zu Vergleichszwecken 10 Maschinen dieser Baureihe mit Zweizylindertriebwerk sowie

10 Maschinen der Schwester - Baureihe 0.2 mit Vierzylinderverbundtriebwerk gebaut und ausgiebigen

Mess- und Erprobungsfahrten unterzogen.

 

Die sehr kontrovers und leidenschaftlich diskutierte Entscheidung fiel schließlich zugunsten des in der

Wartung einfacheren Zweizylindertriebwerks, das allerdings hinsichtlich der Brennstoffverwertung und

der Leistungsfähigkeit etwas hinter dem Vierzylinderverbundtriebwerk zurückstand.

 

Die erste Lokomotive der BR 01, die dem Betriebsdienst übergeben wurde, war nicht die 01 0.0.1,

sondern die 01 0.0.8, welche noch erhalten im E.isenbahnmuseum B.ochum – D.ahlhausen steht.

 

Die Serienlieferung der Baureihe 01 verzögerte sich zunächst etwas, da in den 1.9.2.0er Jahren

weder ausreichend Strecken mit der notwendigen zulässigen Achslast von 20 t noch D.rehscheiben

mit ausreichendem Durchmesser zur Verfügung standen.

 

Erst ab Anfang der 1.9.3.0er Jahre entwickelte sich die Baureihe 01 zur dominierenden Schnellzug-lokomotive der Deutschen Reichsbahn. Im Jahr 1.9.3.8 standen dann schließlich 231 Lokomotiven

dieser Baureihe für den hochwertigen Schnellzugeinsatz zur Verfügung.

 

Weitere 10 Maschinen der Baureihe 01 ( 01 0.1.1, 01 2.3.3 – 2.4.1 ) entstanden 1.9.3.7 bis 1.9.4.2

durch Umbau der V.ierzylinderlokomotiven der Baureihe 0.2 in Zweizylindermaschinen. Die Achslast-

einschränkungen auf vielen Strecken waren der Grund, dass Anfang der 1.9.3.0er Jahre eine dritte

Variante, die Baureihe 0.3 mit Zweizylindertriebwerk und einer Achslast von 18 t entwickelt und in einer

nennenswerten Stückzahl von 298 Stück gebaut wurde.

 

1.9.3.9 entstanden außerdem die D.reizylinderlokomotiven der D.R.B - Baureihe 01.10, eine Weiterentwicklung der 01.

 

Geliefert wurden insgesamt fünf Serien, bei denen es jeweils kleine Änderungen gab:

 

01 0.0.1 – 0.1.0 ( 1.9.2.6 )

 

01 0.1.2 – 0.7.6 ( 1.9.2.7 – 1.9.2.8 )

 

01 0.7.7 – 1.0.1 ( 1.9.3.0 – 1.9.3.1 )

 

01 1.0.2 – 1.9.0 ( 1.9.3.4 – 1.9.3.6 )

 

01 1.9.1 – 2.3.2 ( 1.9.3.7 – 1.9.3.8 )

 

Auch in den 1.9.3.0er Jahren konzentrierte sich der Einsatz der BR 01 auf die relativ wenigen Strecken,

die bereits auf 20 t Achslast ausgebaut waren. Von B.erlin ausgehend waren dies zunächst die A.nhalter

Bahn sowie die L.ehrter und H.amburger Bahn.

 

Die B.erliner S.tadtbahnstrecke musste erst durch V.erstärkung der V.iaduktbögen ertüchtigt werden.

Stationiert wurden die ersten 90 Maschinen der BR 01 bis 1.9.3.0 in den Bw E.ssen, N.ürnberg,

E.rfurt P, B.erlin Ahb, H.amm, M.agdeburg Hbf, K.assel, H.annover, H.amburg A.ltona, B.ebra und

O.ffenburg.

 

Ab 1.9.3.1 folgten die Stationierungs-Bw F.rankfurt (M) 1, B.erlin L.eb, B.raunschweig, B.erlin P.og,

S.chneidemühl, K.önigsberg, G.öttingen P, P.aderborn, D.resden A.lt, B.reslau, K.öln D.eutzerfeld,

H.of und H.alle P.

Ursprünglich war die Höchstgeschwindigkeit auf 120 km/h begrenzt. Man änderte den Durchmesser

der vorderen L.aufräder von ursprünglich 850 mm ab der Lok mit der Betriebsnummer 01 1.0.2 auf

1.000 mm ab und verstärkte die Bremsen beidseitige Anordnung von Bremsklötzen auf den Kuppel-

achsen und Bremsung der Schleppachse, so dass die Höchstgeschwindigkeit auf 130 km/h herauf-

gesetzt werden konnte.

 

Die Luft- und die Speisepumpen waren in Rauchkammernischen hinter dem großen Wagner-Windleit-

blech angeordnet, die sie ab 01 0.7.7 ab Ablieferung erhielten ( bei den anderen wurden die ursprüng-

lichen W.indleitbleche später ebenfalls durch W.agner - Bleche ersetzt ).

 

Dies erschwerte die Zugänglichkeit der Pumpen für Wartungsarbeiten ( spätere Einheitslokbaureihen

trugen daher die Pumpen ab Werk in Fahrzeugmitte ).

 

Die Deutsche Bundesbahn rüstete ihre Maschinen mit den kleineren W.itte - Windleitblechen aus und

verlegte die Pumpen in die Umlaufbleche in Fahrzeugmitte. Die Deutsche Reichsbahn der D.D.R

scheute aber die so geänderte Gewichtsverteilung, sodass ihre Lokomotiven bis zum Schluss ihr Aus-

sehen nur gering veränderten.

 

Die Kessel wurden ab der dritten Serie (01 0.7.7 ff.) mit verlängerten Rauchrohren geliefert, dafür

wurde die Feuerbüchse verkürzt. Alle Lokomotiven hatten ursprünglich einen Zentralverschluss der

Rauchkammertür. Hatten die ersten Lokomotiven bei Ablieferung noch G.asbeleuchtung, so gab es

ab 01 0.1.0 eine e.lektrische Beleuchtung, auch das dritte Spitzenlicht erhielten erst die letzten

Lieferungen.

 

Diese Lokbaureihe wurde mit Tendern der Bauarten 2’2 T 30, 2’2’ T 32 oder 2’2’ T 34 eingesetzt. Der

Brennstoffvorrat beträgt 10 t Steinkohle, der Wasservorrat 30, 32 bzw. 34 Kubikmeter Wasser.

 

Die Vorserienlokomotiven 01 0.0.1 bis 01 0.1.0 wurden mit den kleinen Tendern 2'2 T 30 geliefert, da

noch nicht genügend große D.rehscheiben vorhanden waren. Später verwendete man diese Tender

nur noch dann, wenn sie unbedingt notwendig waren, z. B. im G.renzverkehr mit den N.iederlanden.

 

Geliefert wurden die BR 01 ab der zweiten Serie ( 01 0.1.2 ff. ) mit den genieteten Tendern 2'2' T 32.

Die geschweißten Tender 2'2' T 34 kamen erst auf dem Tauschweg ( häufig von fabrikneuen Lokomotiven

der Baureihe 4.4 ) zur BR 01, waren dann aber in den K.riegsjahren und nach dem Z.weitem W.eltkrieg

die fast ausschließlich verwendete Bauart, da sie über einen größeren Wasservorrat verfügten.

 

Die Lokomotiven der Baureihe 01 standen bei der Deutschen Bundesbahn bis zum Jahre 1.9.7.3 im

Einsatz. Bei der D.eutschen R.eichsbahn war diese Baureihe, sogar weitgehend im Ursprungszustand

mit den großen Wagnerblechen, noch bis Anfang der 1.9.8.0er Jahre im Dienst.

 

Legendär waren in den letzten Jahren die Einsätze vor den D - Zügen auf der Strecke B.erlin – D.resden

bis zum H.erbst 1.9.7.7. Erst mit dem Aufkommen der s.owjetischen G.roßdiesellokomotiven der da-

maligen Baureihe 1.3.2 konnten die inzwischen fast 50 Jahre alten Schnellzuglokomotiven der Baureihe

01 in der D.D.R aus dem Plandienst verdrängt werden.

  

Die Fahrzeuge mit den Betriebsnummern 01 0.4.2, 01 0.4.6, 01 1.1.2, 01 1.5.4 und 01 1.9.2 wurden in

den Jahren 1.9.5.0 und 1.9.5.1 durch die Deutsche Bundesbahn umgebaut. Sie wurden um Misch-

vorwärmer vom Typ Heinl der Firma Henschel und um Turbospeisepumpen ergänzt.

 

Zudem wurden Verbrennungskammern in den Kessel eingebaut. Abgeschlossen wurde der Umbau

mit dem Austausch der ursprünglichen Windleitbleche durch Witte - Bleche, welche trotz der wesentlich

kleineren Abmessungen genauso wirksam waren wie ihre großen Vorgänger. Vier der fünf umgerüsteten

Loks blieben nur bis 1.9.6.8 in Betrieb.

  

Ab 1.9.5.7 rüstete die Deutsche Bundesbahn weitere 50 Fahrzeuge um. Diese Fahrzeuge bekamen

geschweißte Hochleistungsdampfkessel, welche bereits in den Fahrzeugen der Baureihe 01.10 ver-

wendet wurden.

 

Zudem wurde in die Rauchkammer eine neue Mischvorwärmanlage eingebaut und zahlreiche Gleitlager

durch Wälzlager ersetzt. Durch Änderungen am Zylinderblock, am Umlauf, durch den niedrigeren

Schornstein, den nun fehlenden Speisedom, Frontschürze und geänderte Rahmenteile bekam die Lok

ein anderes Äußeres.

.

.

.

Ab dem Jahr 1.9.6.2 rekonstruierte das RAW M.einingen für die Deutsche Reichsbahn unter der Regie

der VES - M H.alle 35 Maschinen der Baureihe 01. Ebenso wie bei der DB, wurden dafür nur Lokomotiven

mit verstärkter Bremse ( ab 01 1.0.2 ) ausgewählt.

 

Alle diese Loks wurden mit neuen Windleitblechen Bauart Witte mit abgeschrägten Kanten, einem

neuen Führerhaus und mit einem neuen, höher liegenden Kessel versehen. Dieser wies eine

Verbrennungskammer, einen Mischvorwärmer und eine durchgehende Verkleidung der Dome auf.

Nur wenige Lokomotiven der Ursprungsbauart blieben im Laufe der Zeit nahezu unverändert

erhalten.

 

Von den Zweizylinder - Maschinen der Baureihe 01 sind derzeit folgende Lokomotiven betriebs-

fähig:

.

.

Die 1.9.3.4 gebaute 01 1.1.8, war als einzige ihrer Baureihe ununterbrochen bis heute betriebsfähig.

Nach dem K.rieg war sie bei der Deutschen Reichsbahn im Einsatz, seit 1.9.8.1 gehört sie der

H.istorischen E.isenbahn F.rankfurt. Von ihrem Standort in F.rankfurt ( M.ain ) O.sthafen wird sie

regelmäßig für M.useumsfahrten eingesetzt, u.a. auf der F.rankfurter H.afenbahn.

 

Eine weitere betriebsfähige Lokomotive dieser Baureihe ist die 1.9.2.8 von Schwartzkopf gebaute

01 0.6.6, die bis 1.9.7.7 bei der Deutschen Reichsbahn in Dienst war und danach bis 1.9.8.9 als

H.eizlok im V.E.B W.aschmittelwerk G.enthin in N.auen diente. Das B.ayerische E.isenbahnmuseum

in N.ördlingen ließ die nur teilweise erhaltene Lokomotive im D.ampflokwerk M.einingen aus Einzel-

teilen anderer Lokomotiven – z. T. anderer Baureihen – rekonstruieren und stellte sie im S.ommer

1.9.9.3 wieder in Dienst.

 

Bei der dritten betriebsfähigen Lokomotive handelt es sich um die 01 202, die vom Verein Pacific

01 202 in der Schweiz betrieben wird. Diese Lok war zuletzt bei der DB im Einsatz und besaß Witte-

bleche. Sie hatte ihren Altbaukessel behalten, verlor allerdings die Frontschürzen. Nach der Aus-

musterung 1.9.7.5 wurde die Lok in 20 Jahren mit hoher Eigeninitiative wieder neu aufgebaut und

betriebsfähig gemacht. Dabei erhielt sie einen roten Farbstreifen am Tender in Höhe des Umlauf-

blechs.

The Astrosurfer: an atomic-powered intergalactic sports car, accompanied by the hit new space rock band The Highway Stars! This epic futuristic vehicle is detailed and articulated with wheels, rubber tires, hinged doors, reclining seats, and with access to the car’s trunk. On the hood of the car is a metallic minifigure hood ornament, and underneath is a detailed engine. In the rear of the car are two folding jet engines, a set of tailpipes, a spoiler, and an Octan bumper sticker.

 

Background: this project was initially conceived back in fall 2015, during my long, imaginative train of thought. In late November of 2015, I took some photos of my Futuron minifigs in front of Christmas lights for an artistic bokeh effect. This led me to come up with the idea of taking a group shot of a few spacemen hanging out as friends, accompanied by lyrics from the Ramones song “I Just Want to Have Something to Do.” This soon evolved into the idea of making each of the spacemen as musicians in a fictional band, that was inspired by the music video for the aforementioned song — which starts off with the Ramones playing the song in the back of a car. With this concept in mind, in early December I took a photo of some Futuron minifigs playing instruments in front of Christmas lights. Upon releasing this photo, I was then struck with another bolt of inspiration while watching the music video for Monster Magnet’s “Negasonic Teenage Warhead“: towards the end of the video, the band takes off in a purple classic Buick and flies through space! This idea hit me, and that night I had a dream to build a futuristic space sports car being driven by a rock band — essentially an amalgamation of those videos by the Ramones and Monster Magnet, along with my previous LEGO space photography!

 

Production for this creation began immediately after Christmas 2015, as I was preoccupied in December with production of my LEGO Nutcrackers and electronic Mega Man sprite. The bulk of this model was completed in the middle of January, but unfortunately I ran into one tiny (yet major) obstacle: I wanted a Classic Space symbol flag for the car’s antenna, however the Collectible Minifigure that contained this particular part wasn’t available in the United States yet. It wasn’t until early February that these figures were available (scarcely) at my local Toys ‘Я’ Us in Whitestone. I felt up all of the packages, and managed to snag the very last astronaut, thus obtaining that seemingly-insignificant flag for the antenna!

 

The five astronauts are made from authentic Classic Space minifig bodies, hence the noticeable play wear in their insignia. I did however deviate by giving them helmets with color-coordinated visors, as well as contemporary faces. The instruments were from other Collectible Minifigure sets, with the exception of the drum kit. For the car’s design, I initially wanted to build an accurate replica of a 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air or perhaps a Cadillac Eldorado — but instead, I opted to make an original design of an arbitrary concept. The two-tone color scheme wasn’t intentional: I wanted to make the car solid pink, but had to instead make use with available pieces in the pink/purple color family.

New Uploaded:-Ab machine workout, by: Abtekk Gym ___ Intense Abs Workout Routine

Ab machine workout -Lower ab workouts - abtekk.com/abtekk-give-away - Win a FREE Ab Workout set worth a whopping £100. In today's busy world, staying fit and healthy can seem like an impossible task. It doesn't have to be that way. There are any number of surprisingly easy ways you can get yourself into great shape without having to kill yourself. The tips in this article will help you on your way.No matter what your gender happens to be, you should still do strength training as part of your exercise routine. You don't have to worry about bulking up and looking like a body builder unless you actively try for that result. Those types of builds don't happen overnight and a casual person won't achieve those builds. To increase your endurance, breathe fully and from your diaphragm when you exercise, particularly when running. This increases your oxygen intake and your lung capacity and lets you exercise longer. If you don't know how to breathe from your diaphragm, you can lie down and put something on your stomach, then practice making it rise and fall as you inhale and exhale.If you want to get in shape using yoga, do your yoga stretches and poses on a hard surface. For more Info on Ab Workout see here: www.youtube.com/playlist?playnext=1&list=PLvR-rVWiRMP... Practicing on a soft floor can lead to joint injuries and can throw off your balance, which will reduce the effectiveness of your yoga routine. In a reverse of the common practice, you can place a hard, smooth material onto a soft carpet to create the ideal yoga surface.Even though it is vital, sleep is often overlooked when one plans a fitness regimen. Ab machine workout The modern world tends to encourage one to sleep less and less. This is a mistake if one wants to get fit. Sleep is crucial in restoring the body and maintaining energy levels. Get at least seven hours of sleep every night to stay fit and healthy. Take time to stretch in between sets of weightlifting. Research has shown that people who stretch while waiting to start their next set of lifting weights have stronger muscles than those who just sit and wait between sets. Stretching is a little thing you can do to strengthen yourself while you're resting. To have a healthy body it is important to have a good amount of sleep. The body needs to sleep to rejuvenate, this should not be taken for granted. Sleeping for eight hours maintains the body's healthy immune system, helps the individual manage stress better. So be sure to get a good amount of sleep daily.Exercising increases the oxygen to the brain. Studies have proven that incorporating an exercise program to your daily routine will decrease the chance of getting dementia in up to 60% in older adults. Exercising releases proteins that strengthens the brain's neurons and cells which is directly related to memory and learning. A high calorie diet will allow for you to fully utilize your workout. You will be using the calories to provide energy and make your workout last longer. Ab machine workout This will allow your muscles to grow because the intense workout causes small tears and once healed makes the muscles stronger and also increase in size.Set goals. Whatever exercise you choose to pursue, set weekly goals and track your progress. You may set any goal appropriate for your fitness level, but the key is to persistently follow through on your plan. Record your daily workouts on a chart or keep a simple tally indicating that you completed the exercises you had planned to do.Taking the proper supplements can assure that ones body is getting all the needed nutrients to improve fitness and refuel after exercising. Research should be done to decide what the best amounts for that individual will be. However with the right balance supplements will improve the results of exercising and increase overall fitness. Runners can effectively increase their overall speed not by increasing the length of each running stride, but by trying to increase the actual speed of each individual stride. In the ideal stride, your foot should always land on the ground directly beneath your body instead of landing in front of you.Improve your volleyball contact skills. You may not believe it, but playing foosball is a great way to do this. You need similar skills in foosball as you need in volleyball. These skills can then be improved on and can work great in volleyball.When you need shoes for working out, be sure that they fit properly. Go shoe shopping in the evening time. When it is late in the day, your feet are the largest. When trying on the shoes, be sure that you can wiggle your toes and that you have about a half inch of space between your longest toe and the shoe.

Eu vejo na TV o que eles falam sobre o jovem não é sério

O jovem no Brasil nunca é levado a sério

 

Eu Sempre quis falar

Nunca tive chance

Tudo que eu queria

Estava fora do meu alcance

Sim, já

Já faz um tempo

Mas eu gosto de lembrar

Cada um, cada um

Cada lugar, um lugar

Eu sei como é difícil

Eu sei como é difícil acreditar

Mas essa porra um dia vai mudar

Se não mudar, pra onde vou...

Não to cansado de tentar de novo

Passa a bola, eu jogo o jogo

 

Eu vejo na TV o que eles falam sobre o jovem não é sério

O jovem no Brasil nunca é levado a sério

 

A polícia diz que já causei muito distúrbio

O repórter quer saber porque eu me drogo

O que é que eu uso

Eu também senti a abuso

E disso tudo eu fiz a rima

Agora tô por conta

Pode crer que eu tô no clima

Eu tô no clima.... segue a rima

 

Revolução na sua mente você pode você faz

Quem sabe mesmo é quem sabe mais

Revolução na sua vida você pode você faz

Quem sabe mesmo é quem sabe mais

Revolução na sua mente você pode você faz

Quem sabe mesmo é quem sabe mais

Também sou rimador, também sou da banca

Aperta muito forte que fica tudo a pampa

Eu to no clima! Eu to no clima ! Eu to no clima

Segue a Rima!

 

Sempre quis falar....

 

"O que eu consigo ver é só um terço do problema

É o Sistema que tem que mudar

Não se pode parar de lutar

Senão, não muda

A Juventude tem que estar a fim

Tem que se unir

O abuso do trabalho infantil, a ignorância

Faz distruir a esperança

Na TV o que eles falam sobre o jovem não é sério, não é sério

Então Deixa ele viver. É o que Liga"

Tuesday 13 August 2013 - Day 25 - Llulluch'apampa / Llulluchapampa (3,650m) - Abra de Huarmiwanusca / Warmiwañusca / Dead Woman's Pass (4,200m) - Pacaymayo Alto campsite (3,595m) - Runkurakay / Runccuracay (3,760 m) - Runkuraqay / Runccuracay Pass (3,985m) - Chaquiqocha (3,576m) - Phuyupatamarka / Phuyupatamarca (3,650m)

 

Day 3 on the Camino Inka features the (in)famous Abra de Huarmiwanusca / Warmiwañusca (4,200 m / 13,780 ft) aka Dead Woman's Pass - the highest point of the trek. The condition of the trail and our Huayhuash acclimatisation made the 550 m ascent from the Llulluch'apampa / Llulluchapampa campsite easy going.

 

Great views from the pass, both back down the valley we'd ascended and also ahead into the Pacaymayo valley, which featured a LOT of stone steps..... These were to prove hard going on the knees as we dropped 800 m to the Pacaymayo Alto campsite (3,595 m). After coffee and an early sandwich at the Pacaymayo checkpoint it was time to start climbing again, with the small circular Inca tambo (inn) at Runkurakay / Runccuracay (3,760 m) providing a beacon to aim for, and then more up to reach the Runkuraqay / Runccuracay Pass (3,985 m) by which time the views were a little less good, as cloud clung to the peaks of the Vilcabamba range.

 

According to the trip notes the post-Runkuraqay / Runccuracay Pass section of the path is "paved with the original Inca stones" - my main memory is of our first Inca tunnel, yet more steps, colourful flowers and - in time - the Inca ruins at Sayaqmarka / Sayacmarca (3,625m) "the place with a dominant view", which we didn't visit. Not long after Sayaqmarka / Sayacmarca the path entered beautiful bamboo forests. Very zen.

 

A leisurely lunch at Chaquiqocha (3,576m) looking out over the Aobamba Valley, and then onwards through forests, Inca tunnels and - eventually - our final campsite, Phuyupatamarka / Phuyupatamarca (3,650m). En route, a few flashes of bright green as packs of parakeets wooshed by, beautiful flowers and a stunning section of colourful moss covering the cliffside. The clouds gathered too.

 

The aptly named 'Town in the Clouds' camp proved to be packed, understandably so once we saw the views further south, not just the Inca ruins just below the campsite, but ridge upon forested ridge, snow sprinkled to our east, dramatic sunlight streaked clouds, rain and rainbows, and the first mobile phone signal since Ollantaytambo (probably - I didn't have my phone with me) courtesy of Aguas Calientes nestling in the Urubamba Valley 1,610 m (1 vertical mile) below.

 

All in all the best day of the trek by some margin. According to my calculations we climbed (and descended) over 1,000m / 3280 ft over the course of the day despite there being no net change in altitude.
