On the 22, 23 and 24 of March was the last edition of the movie festival curious travelers. During that event Open Sources highjack the design and run with the team of the festival "Curieux Voyageurs" in order to produce the energy required for the documentaries projections.
The festival team entrust Open Sources to make a prospective study which aim at building two bikes with waste collected locally. OS has to fit perfectly with the first design study and drawings made by BP Design. A new drawing was done in order to reshape the structure, the materials used and the knowhow involved in the production. Five prototypes of bikes were produced. Two of them were made with reuse materials in our workshop (old beds for the seat, market crates and supermarket hardboard, old benches of church for the armature) and three others in plastic done by some subcontractors selected by BP Design. Each prototype can produce about 100W. Only three bikes were enough to supply the video projector for a 54 minutes long documentary.

Contexte historique et artistique
Louis-Ernest Barrias (1841–1905) est l’un des sculpteurs français les plus représentatifs de la IIIe République, spécialisé dans les monuments publics et les portraits héroïsants de figures historiques ou symboliques. Élève à l’École des Beaux-Arts de Paris, prix de Rome, il est reconnu pour son habileté à mêler réalisme et allégorie, ce qui explique sa présence dans de nombreux monuments officiels du XIXᵉ siècle.
La commande de cette œuvre s’inscrit dans un climat de valorisation des grands hommes de l’histoire française, une forme de pédagogie patriotique et culturelle à travers la sculpture.
Description de l’œuvre (au Petit Palais)
L’œuvre du Petit Palais est un modèle préparatoire en plâtre, réalisé en 1877, destiné à servir de maquette pour la statue en bronze ensuite fondue et érigée dans l’espace public (notamment à Boulogne-Billancourt et dans le Square Saint-Germain-des-Prés à Paris).
Dimensions
Hauteur : 215 cm
Largeur : 102 cm
Profondeur : 92 cm
Technique : Plâtre patiné
Iconographie
Barrias représente Bernard Palissy (1510–1590), célèbre céramiste, naturaliste et écrivain, debout, vêtu de ses habits de travail :
Un tablier de potier, symbole de son activité concrète et artisanale ;
Un plat décoré de serpent et de poissons, emblématique de son style inventif inspiré par la nature ;
Un manuel de potier ouvert très probablement une référence à son ouvrage De l’Art de terre dans lequel il consulte ou discute des techniques de céramique.
L’ensemble renvoie à une image didactique et humaniste : ce n’est pas seulement un portrait, mais une représentation narrative du savoir et du génie artisanal de Palissy.
Analyse stylistique
Réalisme et monumentalité
Barrias combine dans ce modèle un réalisme précis (rendu des textures du costume, posture naturelle, détails des attributs) avec une présence solennelle digne d’un monument public. Contrairement à une statue purement allégorique, l’attention portée aux objets (livre, four, plat) ancre la représentation dans une biographie vécue.
Dimension narrative
La posture et les attributs du personnage racontent une histoire : celle d’un homme qui fut à la fois praticien et penseur, engagé dans la recherche et la transformation de la matière. Ce récit visuel reflète l’évolution de l’art statuaire du XIXᵉ siècle vers une figuration pédagogique des figures historiques.
Fonctions du modèle en plâtre
Le choix de présenter d’abord un plâtre patiné plutôt que la sculpture en bronze finalisée est significatif :
C’est un outil de conception pour la fonte définitive ;
Il devient ensuite un objet d’étude pour le public, permettant de comprendre l’acte créatif du sculpteur ;
Il témoigne d’une étape intermédiaire, plus « intime » et moins idéalisée qu’une œuvre en bronze public.
Interprétation culturelle
Ce modèle de Barrias illustre plusieurs phénomènes culturels du XIXᵉ siècle :
La statuaire des « grands hommes »
La IIIe République investit massivement dans des monuments célébrant des personnalités historiques pour renforcer l’unité nationale et le prestige intellectuel français.
L’humanisme scientifique
Bernard Palissy était un artisan scientifique, observateur des formes naturelles et expérimentateur des matériaux. Barrias souligne cet aspect en montrant non seulement le portrait mais les outils et objets de savoir (livre, plat), donnant à la sculpture une dimension didactique et culturelle.
Mémoire et patrimoine
L’œuvre souligne aussi l’importance de préserver la mémoire des métiers, non seulement des souverains ou des héros militaires mais aussi des créateurs intellectuels et artisanaux. Cela reflète une évolution de la culture française vers une valorisation plus large des humanités.
Conclusion
Le modèle en plâtre de Barrias pour la statue de Bernard Palissy au Petit Palais est une œuvre charnière qui illustre :
Le réalisme et la précision technique du sculpteur ;
Une figuration narrative du savoir et du travail artisanal ;
Une vision pédagogique de la sculpture commémorative du XIXᵉ siècle.
Il constitue à la fois une œuvre d’art complète et un témoignage de l’histoire culturelle française, en montrant comment l’art monumental met en dialogue la biographie d’un homme et l’imaginaire collectif.

Russia has recently joined other BRIC and developed economies in enhancing its investment and trade activities in Africa. The continent is not only an interesting hinterland for emerging market goods and services, but could serve as an important springboard for those firms with global aspirations in the provision of energy, other commodities and manufacturing.
1) What are the primary strategic interests of Russian business and finance in the African markets? Which African countries are best positioned to engage BRIC and developed economies?
2) How can investment in African hydrocarbons, in particular natural gas and LNG, help Russia realize its aspirations for extending its reach in global energy markets?
3) What African sectors are best positioned to benefit from access to BRIC capital, knowhow and markets?

The Tormach 4-axis CNC is a powerful, affordable, low maintenance CNC machine. It can cut some fairly high precision parts at high speed with little error. It takes a decent bit of programming and some solid machining knowhow to get perfect results but it's well worth it.
TechShop brought me on to teach their CNC classes a few months ago and I jumped at the opportunity. As part of my duties I used the machine as much as possible, figuring out bugs, making projects to show off, gathering material for class, and generally showing people how the whole process is done. I made these as a testament to what can be done with some CNC operations and a little hand work.
I machined the eyepieces out of a set of Ferris machinist wax blocks which were then cast in bronze. Each eyepiece has a flat cap made with the same method. The lenses are laser cut 2way mirror plexiglass from Tap Plastics. The nose bridge was milled from a bar of solid brass using the 4th axis attachment.

First, you need to see the website of the the vineyard:
They say this:
"The rich perfumes of this white wine come predominaly from old vines which produce in a regular and soft way and perpetuate our ancestral knowhow in the choice of plants, hence the mobility of this pure Aligoté."
This was a very young, but a terrific white wine.

BMW's motocycle knowhow was utilized to create this three wheeler. BMW has since moved up to mfg and sell full sized autos around the world. As gas prices continue to rise in the USA, let's hope they haven't lost the design because we'll need such good looking, fuel efficient vehicles in the not to distant future.
Con il nuovo anno sono sempre molti i buoni propositi, tra questi non manca quasi mai il classico "devo migliorare la mia forma fisica..." il problema che poi si adduce come ottima scusa è la mancanza di tempo. Ora peró non hai piú scuse...

This is what i missed out on. For about a year and a half, I owned ex Yorkshire Traction Leyland National mk2 245 (NKU245X). But with a lack technical knowhow, and lots of debts, i had to sell it. Now restoration is complete, it looks splendid in Tracky Red with MetroBus branding. It is seen at Ingrow West Station about to run a special service to Haworth for the Keighley & Worth Valley Diesel Gala 2009

Respite Rau: after that it congeals?

Marx Dudek: Yep!
Respite Rau: interesting
djoti: both --> botch
Marx Dudek: I've been working on a few others, possibly for sale.
Respite Rau: I retweak my shapes every six months or so
Jubilant Quackenbush: I made my shape in a few months originally, but played with the nose for years and years
Respite Rau: they change as I do
Phant Nabob: I tend to stick with a shape if I get it right
djoti: noses are really tough in SL sometimes
Phant Nabob is bad at shapes
Respite Rau: Jubi does have a nose obsession :)
djoti: it's the part of the mesh with the worst resolution

djoti: yup marx
djoti: but on balance, I'm happier with this shape than any I've made
Respite Rau: the default 50% head shape is also quite small
djoti: just wish this mesh didn't saw itself nearly in half in certain poses
Marx Dudek: So many people get everything right, but the eyes wrong, and it ruins it.
Respite Rau: yeah, djoti
Respite Rau: I wish the corners of noses weren't prone to polygon madness

Founded in Malaysia, Alfa One Corporation Accounting Solutions, now offers their services in Tokyo japan, provides complete accounting and financial solutions. And as a part of its yearly review on issues regarding tax scams, it provides the top scams of 2015 which includes basic ways on how to avoid them.
This year, incidents of scams have been reported on the news almost every day. So Alfa One Corporation Accounting Solutions provided some tips on how to steer clear of the top scams of 2015 since scammers use different ways every year to try to steal taxpayers’ hard-earned money.
Do you ever experience receiving an unexpected call from someone claiming to be from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)? And after some short introduction, he or she will tell you that you owe them money and you need to pay via a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer?
Given above is a good example of the first type of scam to become aware of. Alfa One Corporation Accounting Solutions called it the “impersonator scam”. The scammer may provide you a fake IRS badge number, or change the caller ID to make it look like he’s really calling from the agency.
In addition, the scam artist might even threaten you with arrest, deportation or suspension of a business or driver’s license if you don’t submit to his terms. He may also say that you’re owed a tax refund. This is an attempt to obtain your private information.
In order to avoid this scam, please keep in mind that the IRS will never request personal or financial information through phone, and won’t ask for payment using a pre-paid debit card or wire transfer.
The second type of scam involves the “phisherman”. Phishing is a fraudulent attempt made through email to steal your personal information. Phishing emails usually appear to come from a well-known organization just like the IRS. The fake emails require you to update your e-file as soon as possible, and include a link to a website aimed at copying the official IRS website.
To avoid this scam, Alfa One Corporation Accounting Solutions suggests that once you receive this kind of emails, you mustn’t reply and don’t open any attachments because they may contain malicious code that may infect your computer or mobile phone. You mustn’t also click on any links on those emails. Forward the email as-is at phishing@irs.gov then delete the original email.
The third type of scam is identity theft. According to Alfa One Corporation Accounting Solutions reviews, identity thieves use your Social Security number to file a tax return and steal your money. They may use various methods in obtaining your sensitive information such as dumpster diving, mail interception, malware, phishing, purse snatching, and shoulder surfing.
Never give your Social Security number out unless it’s absolutely necessary. Also monitor your credit report, and secure your electronic and physical files to prevent this type of scam from happening.
The fourth type of scam to watch out for is the fake charities. Scammers often target taxpayers who are interested in donating to tax-deductible charities after a tragic incident due to natural calamities, etc. You might receive a call for financial information or funds, or an email directing you to a phony website that solicits money to help the victims. Scam artists might even use a name that sounds just like a legitimate charity or claim an affiliation with one. Alfa One Corporation Accounting Solutions suggests that you use the Exempt Organizations Select Check tool at irs.gov to find qualified charities to donate to in order to avoid charity scams. Don’t give your personal information to solicitors and don’t send cash to anyone.
The fifth type of tax scam that you should be careful of is the fraudulent tax preparer. Some scammers pose as tax preparers and promise large refunds. They often target those who don’t have to file and those who don’t speak English, tricking them into claiming phony benefits, rebates or tax credits. They might even file a false tax return in the victims’ names.
Scammers also target those with a filing requirement by promising inflated refunds due to bogus credits and Social Security benefits. They will not give you a copy of your tax return, and might also deposit your money into their bank accounts and deduct a sizable fee before giving you the rest. Alfa One Corporation Accounting Solutions recommends that you should be very careful when hiring a tax preparer, choose someone who asks for proof of income and eligibility for credits and deductions, enters his IRS Preparer Tax Identification Number, provides a copy of your return, and signs your return as the preparer.
Keep in mind the safety tips provided by Alfa One Corporation Accounting Solutions to avoid the top scams of 2015.

Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted a tree house. Even now...as an adult, I want one! :D The kids would love to have one too. And I think I have the tools and knowhow to make one, but Jane won't let me. Boo! I guess it doesnt help that we don't have a tree big enough to put one into. But I could probably build a pretty mean playhouse to put in the backyard like this one. We even have leftover flooring (carpet, tile, and hardwood floor) from our flooring installation. It would be one hell of a cool playhouse.

April 1975, Belgium's Queen Fabiola visits the previous offices of De Schutter in the 'Venusstraat' Antwerp for a royal approval of the publication. De Schutter published a very prestigious fascimile (reproduction) of the books of P.J. Redouté about roses.
One of the two founders of the company, Carl De Schutter shows the companies work with pride.
Pierre-Joseph Redouté was a French artist of the late 18th and early 19th century. For the images in his famous book of prints, Les Roses, Redouté mastered the unusual technique of stipple engraving--the use of tiny dots, rather than lines. This made possible the subtle variations in coloring for which his work is known.
