The G.E. Building at Rockefeller Center in New York City has wonderful Art Deco murals over its entrance.

Do you know where water comes from? Some of you may answer, it comes from the store in plastic bottles. Now, some of you may answer, it comes from your city or town. Even others of you may answer, it comes from the water faucet. If you lived in rural Congo, you would know it comes from that creek or spring located miles away from the village.
Most of our water ultimately comes from under the ground. Probably, very few of you or none of the Congolese would realize that water comes from under the ground. But the process to get water from the ground requires machinery and know-how. In Congo, those are two items in very short supply. That's the reason why most Congolese get their water from a creek or spring.
Over the next several years, I plan to introduce the water well drilling process in Congo. I will have to import the machinery and know-how.

Part of a cluster of odd sculptures in the woods outside Hazleton, PA in Beaver Meadows. Around this was an installation inlcuding a pickup truck with 'aliens' at the wheel painted with the words HOMELAND SECURITY, this is inside the shack with a sign reading "Job's Yummy House", headless Santas nearby, and an adjacent building with signs painted in the windows advertising Joseph A. Woitko Attorney at law, with Patriotic and Christmas themes.
Truth Justice Woitko.
Finding this just outside Hazleton, possibly the country's most racist city, the message and delivery were confusing, diluted with unrelated mountains of garbage, and these random critters which were decked out with lots of skulls and bones.

Knowledge is one powerful aspect of the three great beliefs, to pursue the unknown to study and bring light to a lost civilization with new found facts and truth is knowledge. To know is to guard against prejudice and all forms of ignorance! This way we aren't too quick to judge or make random assumptions. A greater understanding creates a clearer picture of what we are dealing with, it helps us to advance with better technology, to be more conservative with our world and other people! Without knowledge we would be a barbaric empire today!

This is a detail shot of the sculpture House of Knowledge by the artist Jaume Plensa.
I saw this fantastic object at the No Limits exhibition at Chatsworth House in the fall of 2008 and was completely bowled over by it. (There are lots more piccies of this my photostream).
Some follow up research on the internet indicated that the artist was also involved in the Channel 4 Big Art Project and a large public work entitled Dream was to be shortly installed on the reclaimed and landscaped spoil heap from a former coal mine in Sutton Manor on the outskirts of St Helens.
This is a 5 minute drive from my house and something that I've been eagerly watching out for as I pass this site almost everyday!!
And it's being installed right now! And it is stunning!
Watch this space for piccies

The Knowledge City would be virtually an extension of Hitec City in Character and business. APIC will auction lands for development of IT/ITES/BPO, Commercial, Hospitality and even Retail use.
Once the legal hurdles are cleared, the development here will result in transformation of the stretch of land between Whisper Valley Junction and Guchibowli Junction. At the moment there are no shops or super markets along the road. But this stretch will develop into major commercial street similar to Madhapur and will cater to requirements of people living in Residential Complexes of L&T, IVRCL and several upcoming ventures at Guchibowli.

I was one of those unusual 80's kids. Most of my peers loved (and still do) every property from that era, whereas my love was generally singular - Transformers. So it goes without saying that Heman and the whole MOTU world wasn't really my thing, but I did have working knowledge of the property through reading and of course, the obsession of friends.
I think right around the time COVID hit the fan, Mattel released a line of vintage styled figures for sale at retail, which in Canada meant Walmart. Without too many gory details, COVID plus poor distribution meant hunting these in person was next to impossible.
It was only in March 2021 that I actually saw actual figures on store pegs, with one lonely She-Ra in the mix, which makes me think she might be the shortpacked figure in this wave.
I don't think I've ever had this much trouble finding a toy with an MSRP of $14.99 CAD.
As mentioned above, these figures are vintage styled, as opposed to being straight up reissues of the 80s toys. Or, in the case of She-Ra here, she's pretty much a newly designed figure, though she does retain the accessories she had as well as the addition of a fabric outfit.
The original items, however, looked much, much nicer, especially since they had chrome as opposed to chromed stickers. I'm also thinking they probably fit on the figure a bit more snug too.
So the contents of the package are the figure, her Power Sword, her shield, and a comic that is so bare bones that it doesn't even have any actual words in it.
The actual toy itself actually isn't half bad for the asking price., and that seems to be the overall vibe from the line on the whole. Detailing is about what I'd expect, as my expectations were tempered from my childhood. You get the major details on the outfit. Body definition isn't bad either, and is shared amongst the other ladies in the line (Teela and Evil-Lyn). The head itself is functional. It's not the doll face of the original toy, but it's a passable attempt at the original 80's Filmation look.
Articulation wise, you get ankles that can rotate and pivot, though nothing that is meant to display the legs splayed. You also get single jointed knees, ball jointed hips, waist, standard shoulders, single jointed elbows with forearm pivot, rotating and pivoting wrists, and a ball jointed head.
Given the price point, the number of joints isn't a letdown at all. I just wish the range of motion was greater, as opposed to generally being capped at 90 degrees. Furthermore, as you can imagine the sculpted hair gets in the way of head movement, though fortunately the plastic is soft enough you can just move it out of the way.
Paint and build quality wise, honestly, I'm pretty happy with. There's no subtlety to the paint work or anything, but the paint apps are smooth and consistent. Decal work is acceptable, and the figure itself doesn't really cause me to have any concerns about it falling apart due to rough handling.
Overall, I'm satisfied with this figure. It doesn't blow my mind, nor was it ever meant toy - it's just a solid, average figure, and there's nothing wrong with that. There is, however, something wrong when companies like Funko make these horrible figures with no articulation that have an MSRP of double these.
Now if I could only find the other ladies...

Grandpa bought us this National Geographic collection when we were youngun's. We used to really look forward to the next one coming in the mail. Now we sort of laugh at them on occasion - especially the technology based ones! Wow, those computers were, um, LARGE...in the early 80's.
