Une bibliothèque, au-delà de son aspect pratique, c'est aussi très joli à regarder. Donc sans trop de chichis, une petite photo d'encyclopédie !
As part of the required course knowledge pupils need to be able to outline the process involved in taking a square wooden blank and preparing it for turning between centres. These pictures depict that process chronologically.
Stage 1 * Preparation of wooden blank. Cut to size. Sand square. Mark across diagonals. Centre punch the centre point. Use spring dividers to mark circumference. Repeat on other end.
Stage 2 * Plane off corners down to circumference line. This takes cross section from square to octagon. This reduces force on cutting toll in initial prep of blank. Mount between fork [driven] centre and dead [or live ] centre at tailstock end. Apply grease a dead centre end. apply force from tailstock end to force fork into material at driven end. Adjust toolstock height to suit. Check for clearance.
Stage 3 * Roughout using scraper to diameter. Use combination of gouges and skew chisels to add beads and other decorative detailing as required. Ensure spindle speed is appropriate for material and cross section under consideration. Obey all safety instructions.

VANDENBERG AIR FORCE BASE, Calif — Officials from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Los Angeles District and 30th Space Wing broke ground Aug. 15 for a new education center here. The $14.2 million building will replace a 60-year-old facility that is used by more than 3,000 Airmen and their families.
Col. Nina Armagno, 30th Space Wing commander, said the center will have room for five college programs, 25 classrooms, a training and WAPS (Weighted Airman Promotion System) testing area, two computer labs and a 75-seat auditorium to meet the education goals of base Airmen.
“Team Vandenberg is thirsting for knowledge and this new, state-of-the-art facility is just what we need,” said Armagno. “This building will be more than bricks and mortar and glass that shall hold it together; it represents the Air Force’s commitment to providing the best services and facilities to the best Airmen the world has ever seen.”
The 38,000 square foot center is a design-build project awarded by the Corps to Teehee-Straub, a joint-venture team from Oceanside, Calif. Their 21st century design includes sustainable development and energy efficiencies, such as light pollution reduction and water use reduction.
Col. Mark Toy, Los Angeles District commander, said the Corps is proud to be part of the team at Vandenberg. His District has managed major construction at the base for more than fifty years, completing such projects as dormitories, a satellite operations facility and the recently opened LEED Gold child development center.
“We hope we can continue to build wonderful facilities for all of you,” said Toy. “This is a perfect example of a great partnership between the Army and the Air Force. So, in the spirit of that, I will say, ‘Go Army,’ ‘Go Air Force,’ ‘Beat Navy!’”

9th May 2017 Tuesday Day 4 of trip.
Itinerary Day spent around Potamoi in the Mesta valley, NE of Volakas and later Pagoneri.
Volakas - Woke once in night & then at 6.06am before alarm @ 6.20am. Shaved & down to MT before Martin et al - Only a few moths. Very nice breakfast-- coffee/yoghurt/cherry jam & baklava type breads -- Big rush for 9am dep- forgot my food & had to go back for it. Sat in door seat for 2nd time rather than back seat over wheels. Day started cloudy & gradually got wet & windy. First stop in a few meadows , very quiet & we snapped "potted" bflies" from yesterday. Spotted orchids/lichen & a nice mole cricket before moving on to a place over looking mts & big river. Amazing view but here too cold for much. A huge violet beetle & several tortoises. .Amazing scenery- eventually to a little church over a footbridge. Very windy. Back over mountains to Petroussa (ydays first call) but weather worse & then a big thunder storm when we all retreated to a cafe in the village square for coffees & to make friends with the local dog. 2 coffees (2 euros a cup ) & an hour or so later set off to south west & stopped on a road at the end of a valley. Still windy but views were good & sunny. Saw a few butterflies & other bits, snails & plants. On again further up valley on a gravelly track past a large number off bee hives-- to end where found 4 more tortoises & a pair of Honey Buzzards. Left there after 6pm & back to Vollakas after 7pm. Then after good shower down to a FIX beer with Rich/Ilyia. Too soon it was supper - salad/calamari, spuds & bread + dessert of sponge with peaches. List after was a very jovial affair as all had consumed a lot of gin/beer & wine etc. Despite weather it felt like a successful end to day 4.
Notes from itinerary.
This 10-day tour will take place in the spectacular mountain scenery of SW Bulgaria and northern Greece, where springtime is especially lush, with an abundance of orchids and other wildflowers, fruit trees in blossom and the air filled with birdsong, particularly the song of the nightingale.
We shall be looking for a range of spring or first generation butterfly species such as Southern Festoon, Gruner’s Orange-tip, Eastern Greenish Black-tip, Krueper’s Small White, Eastern Wood White, Grecian Copper, Little Tiger Blue, Chequered Blue, Iolas Blue, Southern Comma, Eastern Knapweed Fritillary, Russian Heath, Inky Skipper and Mediterranean Skipper. We can expect to see a wide range of other butterflies already on the wing, with around 100 species possible, such as Common and Scarce Swallowtails, Clouded Apollo, Eastern Festoon, Black-veined White, Small Bath White, Eastern Dappled White, Mountain and Southern Small White, Large Copper, Geranium Argus, Blue Argus, Osiris Blue, Eastern Baton Blue, Green Underside Blue, Eastern Zephyr Blue, Duke of Burgundy, Nettle-tree Butterfly, Southern White Admiral, Large Tortoiseshell, Camberwell Beauty, Common and Hungarian Gliders, Cardinal, Lesser Spotted Fritillary, Weaver’s Fritillary, Yellow-banded Skipper, Tufted Marbled Skipper and Hungarian Skipper.
SW Bulgaria is the richest part of Bulgaria for butterflies and is in one of Europe’s top butterfly hotspots. In the Struma and Mesta valleys several butterfly species reach the northernmost limit of their European range. Some species can emerge as early as March and April, but should still be on the wing in early May, depending on the earliness or lateness of the season.
Although the primary focus of the tour will be butterflies we shall also look out for day-flying moths and run at least one moth trap. We shall take note of other wildlife and at Kerkini Lake in northern Greece we shall be able to see Glossy Ibis, Dalmatian and White Pelican, Spoonbill, Squacco and Night Heron, terns and other birds.
The tour will be based in two main areas: Mount Falakro (Phalakron) in northern Greece, and then in SW Bulgaria. The tour should be suitable for all adults, with no long walks to reach any sites, though participants should be aware that the weather can get very hot even in spring.
Martin White has been passionate about butterflies and moths since an early age. He is actively involved in the South Wales Branch of Butterfly Conservation, of which he has been a committee member since 1995. He spends part of each summer in Europe looking at butterflies, usually in the company of botanists, birders and wildlife photographers as well as other butterfly enthusiasts. Apart from Bulgaria, Martin has also spent time in adjacent countries such as Greece and Turkey. As a result, in addition to the butterflies, he has developed an extensive familiarity with the moths, micro-moths, flowers and birds of the region.
Tihomir (Tisho) works at the National Museum of Natural History in Sofia (www.nmnhs.com) as head of the department of Recent and Fossil Fish. His main research topic is taxonomy and phylogeny of the freshwater fish of Bulgaria, but he is also an enthusiastic all round naturalist, including having a good knowledge of dragonflies and is a keen birdwatcher.
s. Final details and butterfly and moth lists will be sent to participants approximately two weeks before departure. Our tour price includes a donation to a Bulgarian conservation organization.
Until just a few years ago, Most London taxis were plain black, which gave them their well known 'Black Cab' identity. Although many still are plain black, this is not a requirement, and many others are painted in colourful liveries, or carry colourful advertisments. Whether black or muti-coloured, the 25,000 or so London cabs are easily recognised by their iconic shape. These are the only taxis legally licensed to ply for trade, on London streets, and to pick up passengers, without advanced booking. The drivers, known as London cabbies, are highly skilled, and knowledgable, with onerous tests of both knowledge and character required to gain the coveted 'Cabbie' License. It can take several years to gain 'the knowlege', which involves knowing by heart virtually every street, hotel, and tourist location in London, and trainee cabbies are often seen cycling London streets, with a London atlas attached to their bicycle!
Decided for some exercise whilst visiting the University of Southampton today. The chosen stairs looked very photogenic so here we are.
Is Knowledge subject to decay? Yes it is, because it is bound by causes and conditions. Only wisdom isn't. And wisdom can arise from the awareness of the impermanence of all things.

CLAY NATIONAL GUARD CENTER, Marietta, Ga., Feb. 10, 2013 – The Army National Guard (ARNG) Aviation Training and Assistance Team (ATAT) conducts 80 assistance visits every year to various ARNG aviation units and facilities across the 54 states and territories. The ARNG ATAT is headquartered in Georgia but draws upon the operational knowledge from 9+ states across the nation to help standardize and share best practices across ARNG aviation units.
Like most of her ATAT peers, Maj. Mary Beth Merrick the ATAT training and command programs subject matter expert, serves with her local unit giving her current insight and experience to share while evaluating and training other units.
“Army Schools do not teach program management, leaving an important role that ATAT now fills. Program management becomes On the Job Training where we can come along beside other Guardsmen sharing best practices to build effective and efficient programs.”

The Monet property was bequeathed by Claude Monet's son Michel (1878-1966).
to the Académie des Beaux-Arts. After important restoration works lead by
Mr. Gérald Van der Kemp, the property opened its doors to the public in June 1980.
« It’s maybe because of flowers that I’ve become a painter. »
Claude Monet
When Monet settles in Giverny, the long, pink stucco house has a one hectare garden comprising an apple orchard and a kitchen garden. A wide path lined with cypress and spruce leads from the gate to the main door, the flowerbeds bordered by trimmed box trees. Enthralled by this garden, the painter-gardener immediately sets to work, never ceasing , thereafter, to improve the « Clos Normand » and to make it the garden of his colourful dreams.
He has the box trees uprooted and, after lengthy arguments with his wife Alice, has her beloved spruces cut down and replaced by the metallic arches still visible today. The central path is lined with nasturtiums and fragrant roses , which continue to enchant visitors. The apple trees are replaced by cherry and Japanese apricot trees, the ground becoming a carpet of thousands of flowers : daffodils, tulips, narcissus, iris, oriental poppies, peonies…….
Passionate about gardening , the painter applies his pictorial knowledge to creating perspectives, highlighting the house and intensifying areas of shade. On the left side of the garden, he creates rectangular beds of single colours, ressembling so many colours set out on an artist’s palette…. As inventive in his garden as in his painting , this ‘man so crazy about flowers’, created a solar garden which, thanks to the talent of the current gardeners, displays its magic every year.

Wishing you a lovely weekend, my friends.
Je vous souhaite un bon week-end, mes ami(e)s.
Ich wünsche Euch ein schönes Wochenende.
March 2019's theme was WATER!
It’s the main source of all life. The lifeblood element that makes up 60% of our bodies.
It’s the liquid that we don’t drink enough of, yet waste effortlessly.
It’s home to millions of species, mysteries, and undiscovered knowledge.
We know more about the stars in the sky than the depths of our oceans.
We can use it to save lives. If used foolishly, it can take lives.
We think there is an abundance, yet only one percent can be touched. If we don’t protect our waters, then what will happen to life?
Thanks to Nicework and Vega School for helping us make it possible!
Our Perth chapter chose this month’s exploration of Water and Sofia Varano illustrated the theme.
More about our speaker, Banele Khoza -
Banele Khoza was in born in 1994 in Hlatikulu (a small rural town) in eSwatini. During high school he moved to South Africa and is now based in Tshwane. He studied at the London International School of Fashion for a year, studying Fashion Design. Dismayed by the limited oppertunities to draw he transferred to study Fine Arts at Tshwane University of Technology. On completion of his degree he taught Drawing and Art Theory at the same institution. In 2018 he decided to stop teaching to work as a full time artist.
Banele Khoza is a man to watch, with a recent solo show at Zeitz MOCAA, the 2017 Gerard Sekoto Foundation award under his belt and a fleet of taxi’s covered in his work (as the result of him winning the SA Taxi Foundation Art Award) his work is going places. Khoza’s first suite of lithographs published by The Artists’ Press, demonstrate his skill and dexterity. Khoza’s ability to embrace the unknown and to immerse himself in the technical possibilities of what lithography has to offer combined with the skills of Master Printer Mark Attwood have resulted in prints that reveal the artist’s gifts.
Khoza worked on stone and grained film using a combination of pencil, litho crayon and ink and tusche washes. The delicate traces of the dried ink, Khoza’s choice of colours and drawing abilities combine to delight the eye. Khoza has been a keen draftsman since the age of five, drawing images of the toys that he wanted but which his conservative parents refused to get for him. This sense of longing and vulnerability can be seen in Khoza’s lithographs.
Obsessively neat and detailed text weaves through some of the prints, but one cannot read all of the words. It is if the artist entices one into his private world and then stops one from fully accessing it, questioning the viewer’s motives for the intrusion. Khoza’s journals are an integral part of his practice and are reflected in his image making “I have never seen so many sharp pencils” is some of the text included in one of his lithographs. Khoza’s interest in the private and the public merges with his interest in social media, technology, connection/disconnection, isolation and a longing to be whole and completely present with someone as well as with oneself.
In the six two-colour prints faces and bodies are alluded to, the delicacy of the washes contrasting with the boldness of the forms. And just as things seem to be getting really serious the text and titles pull one back with a sense of delight and quirkiness
“Dear Olympia” (a reclining nude with two cats) and “Don’t forget the tomatoes” reminding one of everyday routines.
