Erbaut zwischen 1922 und 1931 von Ludwig Roselius, dem Kaffeekaufmann und Erfinder des koffeinfreien Kaffee HAG, ist die Böttcherstraße damals wie heute die heimliche Hauptstraße Bremens und ein Synonym für Lebensart. Auf 108 Metern zwischen Marktplatz und Weser bietet sie einen gelungenen Mix aus Genuss, Handel, Kunst und Kultur.
Built between 1922 and 1931 by Ludwig Roselius, the coffee merchant and inventor of the decaffeinated HAG coffee, Boettcherstrasse was then as now Bremen's secret main street and a synonym for the way of life. At 108 meters between the market square and the Weser, it offers a successful mix of enjoyment, trade, art and culture.

The Alexander Brown House in Syracuse, New York is a Romanesque Revival sandstone and tile home built in 1895. It was the home of Alexander T. Brown, co-founder of Brown-Lipe-Chapin Company, a firm that was absorbed into General Motors.[3] Brown was a successful inventor and manufacturer. He added such engineering features to the house as a hydraulic elevator and a house-wide vacuum cleaning system.

Benedict went to work at E. Remington and Sons in nearby Ilion, N.Y., after his Hamilton graduation. This company not only manufactured arms and agricultural implements but also did piece work for inventors who devised new machines. One such invention, in 1873, was for a typewriter designed by Christopher Latham Sholes. Although the Remington company did not make much progress with the manufacture of the new instrument, Benedict realized its potential.
Benedict and two partners bought the rights to the typewriter and organized a firm to sell the “practical writing machine.” The name Remington was retained, and in 1902 the Remington Typewriter Co. was formed with Benedict as president until his retirement in 1913. Benedict, who served as a Hamilton trustee from 1897 until his death in 1935, provided funds for the Hall of Languages, built in 1897, and for the purchase of the Chapel organ.
Class: H3
Built: 1888 by Pennsylvania Railroad, Altoona Works, Altoona, Pennsylvania
Retired: 1939
The Pennsylvania Railroad’s Class R (later H3) steam locomotives became the primary mainline freight locomotive. The Altoona Shops built more than 825 between 1885 and 1898. Its 2-8-0, or “Consolidation” type wheel arrangement became the most popular design for freight locomotives across the country.
The locomotive design was the first to introduce the Belpaire Firebox. Named for its inventor Alfred Belpaire, this design provided greater strength than previous designs and allowed for more space for steam, as well as more area for combustion.

The Old Inventor gifted this little Alien girl with a doll to ease her fears about her time travel trip to her new, safe planet.
This started as a simple modification to the upcoming 40650 6-wide Land Rover set to integrate the more squared off 28326 mudguards, which felt more appropriate to me. Then, the set designer Adam Grabowski posted his prototype to Flickr, and instantly, I wanted to add more elements similar to the ones that model had. I also added some, but not all, of the accessory elements from the Creator Expert-scaled set (since I feel like that one's a bit too busy with ALL the stuff it has on it).
I'd like to give credit to several individuals for aspects of this model:
- LEGO, for the upcoming set.
- Adam Grabowski, for the prototype.
- john.carter, for the offset square mudguard integration concept.
- Ids de Jong, for the gas can idea.
- The LEGO Car Building Discord server, for bits of feedback.
LA LAMPADINA RACCONTA....
Arturo Malignani (Udine, 4 marzo 1865 – Udine, 15 febbraio 1939) è stato un imprenditore e inventore italiano che si segnalò in particolare per i brevetti nel campo dell'illuminazione elettrica, per lo sviluppo e le applicazioni in Friuli dell'energia elettrica e dei cementifici.
Il metodo da lui inventato per creare il vuoto nelle lampadine ad incandescenza a oggi risulta essere il più efficace e utilizzato al mondo. Grazie a lui la città di Udine, in Friuli Venezia Giulia, fu la terza ad avere l'illuminazione elettrica in Europa.
Tra i primi in Italia sviluppò una produzione di lampade ad incandescenza, registrando diversi brevetti, tra cui il sistema per creare il vuoto nel bulbo della lampada e la veloce (e meno nociva per i lavoratori) produzione in serie di lampadine. Malignani brevettò questo sistema solamente nel 1894 in quanto lo riteneva non necessario: era infatti certo che all'estero inventori come Edison e Philips avessero certamente fatto meglio di lui. In realtà Udine, terza città in Europa con l'illuminazione elettrica dopo Milano e Londra, aveva grazie a Malignani le lampadine migliori al mondo per qualità. La Edison italiana acquisì il brevetto da Malignani e fece da intermediaria con la Edison statunitense per la cessione del brevetto. Nel 1896 Malignani si recò a New York e lo stesso Thomas Edison rimase meravigliato della qualità del brevetto del giovane friulano, che divenne con la cessione l'uomo più ricco di Udine.

THE BULB TELLS ....
Arturo Malignani (Udine, March 4, 1865 - Udine, February 15, 1939) was an Italian entrepreneur and inventor who stood out in particular for patents in the field of electric lighting, for the development and applications in Friuli of electricity and of cement factories.
The method he invented to create a vacuum in incandescent light bulbs is today the most effective and used in the world. Thanks to him, the city of Udine, in Friuli Venezia Giulia, was the third to have electric lighting in Europe.
Among the first in Italy he developed a production of incandescent lamps, registering several patents, including the system to create the vacuum in the bulb of the lamp and the fast (and less harmful for workers) mass production of light bulbs. Malignani patented this system only in 1894 as he considered it unnecessary: he was in fact certain that foreign inventors such as Edison and Philips had certainly done better than him. In reality Udine, the third city in Europe with electric lighting after Milan and London, had the best quality bulbs in the world thanks to Malignani. The Italian Edison acquired the patent from Malignani and acted as an intermediary with the US Edison for the transfer of the patent. In 1896 Malignani went to New York and Thomas Edison himself was amazed by the quality of the young Friulian's patent, who became the richest man in Udine with the sale.

"By golly, look at it go, Branston!" the older businessman said, pleasantly surprised at the unexpected mannerism of the robot that. Branston just raised an eyebrow in scrutiny. He had to be sure of the thing they were about to invest in.
"So how do you like him, gentlemen? He's ready to work, self-sufficient, intelligent, and he'll definitely do good work in the mines," the inventor said. His partner grinned in satisfaction, sure of their creation, knowing that with this one chance, they can and will finally land their first big break. He just hoped that Branston agrees as well, of course.

Carte de visite by H.H. Freeman of Belvidere, Ill. A man stands next to what appears to be a model of an engineering improvement. He may have been the brain behind the invention, and intended this image to be submitted to the patent office in Washington, D.C. Using photography for this came of age when the carte de visite became all the rage in the U.S.
I encourage you to use this image for educational purposes only. However, please ask for permission.
My build for Round 3 of The Tourney at MOCpages. Halhi141, Infernum, and Brick all gave me helpful suggestions for this build. Credit for the lantern design goes to Brick, though I modified it slightly. This was an extremely fun build. I tilted the wood sections using ball joints, for the first time. The idea of the build was to create a wacky, and whimsical atmosphere. Hence the unusual colorscheme for the build.
There's a full interior, and the elevator actually works. Also Amfridus has devised a bucket system whereby he procures water without leaving his home.
Amfridus the Inventor lives in his tower outside of Guaire. Unlike some inventors, he is very friendly. Naysayers claim his chemical experiments have polluted the stream which runs by his home, but the plentiful aquatic life seems to show otherwise. Rego and Dedan pay Amfridus a visit hoping to procure some new inventions and potions that will give them an edge in The Tourney.

Until the Delmonico brothers opened their eponymous eatery in 1837,New York City didn't have a proper restaurant,just cafes and inns where diners had little control over what they were served.Delmonico's,New York's first a la carte restaurant on 2 South William Street,favored French cuisine,cloth-covered tables and a printed menu designed by the first "star chef," Charles Ranhofer.
The locations and owners changed hands many times over the years,and the current iteration of Delmonico's has no connection to the original beyond the name and the luxurious location,which faithfully replicates the subdued grandeur of a bygone era.The current owners,Ocinomled Ltd.,expanded with another location in Hell's Kitchen in 2012,but the old William Street spot (which the restaurant lists as 56 Beaver Street,but it's the same place) still serves some of the iconic dishes that made their world debut at the storied institution nearly 180 years ago.
Current Executive Chef Billy Oliva,who's been with Delmonico's for the past eight years,says the classics are still the restaurant's most popular dishes. "Delmonico's Steak,it's our signature ribeye," Oliva says of the restaurant's most popular dish. "Steak never goes out of style.It's a food that people are very familiar and comfortable with."
"People don’t eat the way they use to.People are much more health conscious and much more educated about where their food comes from.Is it farm-to-table?Is the restaurant supporting local purveyors?" Oliva observes. "Delmonico's was the first restaurant to offer farm-to-table dining [and] the Delmonico brothers started the first farm-to-table concept.Not satisfied by the quality of produce they could get in the markets of NYC,they bought a 220 acre farm in Williamsburg,Brooklyn and sourced their own.Today,we continue the Delmonico's brothers' standards and source from local purveyors.We know our farmers, our fishermen, etc."
Below,a few facts about the restaurant's history,as well as a glimpse at the current iteration of Delmonico's and its signature dishes.
The first Delmonico property was a French pastry cafe at 23 William Street that Swiss-born brothers John and Peter Delmonico opened with $20,000 in gold coins 1827. It was destroyed by a fire in 1835,which is when they began construction on the site of the modern-day Delmonico's.
The Delmonico brothers built the South William Street/Beaver Street restaurant to their exact specifications,with three floors dedicated to dining and the storage of wine.In 1890,the restaurant was completely rebuilt into an eight story structure.The pillars that flanked the entrance,allegedly imported from Pompeii,were moved to the new building.
Though its official name was Delmonico's Restaurant,the public actually referred to the restaurant as "The Citadel."
Delmonico's was the first restaurant to be reviewed by the Times in 1859. "No nobleman of England—no Marqui of ancienne noblesse—was ever better served or waited on in greater style than you will be in a private room at Delmonico's.The lights will be brilliant,the waiters will be curled and perfumed and gloved,the dishes will be strictly en regle and the wines will come with the precision of clock-work that has been duly wound up."
The Delmonico brothers purchased land in Williamsburg to grow their own vegetables,making the restaurant a (very) early adopter of the farm-to-table movement.It's said they grew produce like artichokes and other vegetables that weren't readily available to American diners.
The restaurant's very first menu reportedly offered things like Liver and Bacon,Beef or Mutton Stew,Ham and Eggs and Corn Beef and Cabbage.A "Regular Dinner" cost 12 cents.
Delmonico's claims to be the inventor of several notable dishes,including Eggs Benedict,Baked Alaska and Chicken A la Keene.Lobster Newburg appeared on the menu in 1876 after chef Charles Ranhofer "reined" the Lobster a la Wenberg dish originally created by a sea captain and Delmonico's regular named Ben Wenberg.
One story even claims that Ranhofer "introduced New York to the 'alligator pear' or avocado,"newly imported from South America.
Mark Twain celebrated his 70th birthday at Delmonico's,dining with Mrs.Woodrow Wilson,Dorothy Canfield,and his nephew Samuel E. Moffett.
Women were permitted to dine at Delmonico's in the early days but,like many restaurants of the time,only if they were accompanied by men.Special women's-only dining areas were the only places women could dine together without a male "chaperone."
The Delmonico's name was so synonymous with quality and fine dining that copycat Delmonico's restaurants popped up around the USA.
The Delmonico's owned several other Manhattan restaurants bearing the family name,as the brothers' nephew Lorenzo Delmonico followed the push of new establishments opening further uptown.The last Delmonico's closed in 1923.
Prohibition—along with constantly changing ownership among the Delmonico family heirs—contributed to Delmonico's demise.With no wine available for cooking,let alone drinking,and patrons shifting to at-home dining to booze without fear of raids,the restaurant couldn't survive.The final meal on May 21st,1923,was said to be served with mineral water.
The 2 South William Street space has operated as three different Delmonico's entities—all unaffiliated with the Delmonico family—from 1929 until today.The current owner,Ocinomled Ltd.,filed to trademark the name to make a Delmonico's steak sauce in 2004-The Gothamist

I made this guy in early 2018, and i personally consider him to be a massive turning point in my proficiency as a builder. The moc itself is a reimagining of an older character in a much sleeker refined style, which ended up being something i would try and stick to ever since.
The old photo i have of him is a bit outdated now as i made several minor changes to the moc each time i went to a new convention or fixed him up from a shelf fall, so i figured he deserved a new photoshoot. I like this pose a lot more too.

His Genius lives despite massive cover-up.
Nikola Tesla's prediction of a smartphone, Collier’s magazine interview, 1926:
"When wireless is perfectly applied the whole earth will be converted into a huge brain, which in fact it is, all things being particles of a real and rhythmic whole. We shall be able to communicate with one another instantly, irrespective of distance.
Not only this, but through television and telephony we shall see and hear one another as perfectly as though we were face to face, despite intervening distances of thousands of miles; and the instruments through which we shall be able to do his will be amazingly simple compared with our present telephone.
A man will be able to carry one in his vest pocket."

Inside Hammond's Castle
"Hammond Castle
John Hays Hammond, Jr. built his medieval-style castle between the years 1926 and 1929 to serve both as his home and as a backdrop for his collection of Roman, medieval, and Renaissance artifacts. The castle was constructed as a wedding present for his wife Irene Fenton Hammond to prove how much he cared for her. In addition, the building housed the Hammond Research Corporation, from which Dr. Hammond produced over 400 patents and the ideas for over 800 inventions. Second only to Thomas Alva Edison in number of patents, John Hammond was one of America's premier inventors. His most important work was the development of remote control via radio waves, which earned him the title, "The Father of Remote Control."
Visitors to Hammond Castle Museum are welcome to explore the castle on a self-guided tour of many rooms (map supplied) including the great hall, indoor courtyard, Renaissance dining room, two guest bedrooms, the inventions exhibit room, the library, the War room, the kitchens, the Natalie Hays Hammond exhibit room, servants quarters, as well as several smaller rooms and passage ways including a secret passageway. We suggest that you start your tour in our AV theater where you can view a short film on the life and times of the Hammonds.
Visitors may also enjoy the beauty of the castle grounds and a view of the Atlantic shore line while strolling through our gardens or sitting on a bench taking in that view..
In addition to self-guided tours, Hammond Castle Museum offers a number of educational programs and prearranged tour opportunities for school and tour groups. Our staff is always available to discuss the Hammonds with you as well as our unique collections."
