Southern Masked Weaver busy with the intricate process of building his nest. He will source materials from multiple sources and at times will have multiple nest in construction.Once completed he will attract a female who will inspect the nest. If she is happy then she will line it with insulation and then lay eggs. If she does not approve of his workmanship the nest then gets pulled apart and he will start a new nest.

“Demonstration satellite solar power station – the materials for which would be carried into low earth orbit by Space Shuttle – is 1000 feet square and 25 feet thick. An operational station would be placed in geosynchronous orbit (about 22,000 miles out in space), from where it would beam a continuous stream of microwave energy to earth.”

Above per the Rockwell International lithograph of this gorgeous work, the originator of this proposal.

“Rockwell Station '76

Rockwell Space Station Concept, 1976

American manned space station. Study 1975. North American Rockwell's 'Austere Modular Space Station' was in contrast to more grandiose schemes in the mid-1970's.

Status: Study 1975.

The most important application in those days was constructing large space structures, e.g., extremely large communications satellites, giant 20-kilometer-wide solar power satellites or even giant orbiting space colonies for millions of people. Contemporary space station studies such as Rockwell's and Boeing's were closely tied to this objective. NASA's Outlook for Space report from 1975 recommended a number of possible goals, including development of a 12-man space station in low Earth orbit by 1988 and a similar station in lunar orbit by 1994.

What appears to be the original ‘Austere Modular Space Station’ posting.

I’m sure also by Ted Brown:

www.friends-partners.org/mwade/craft/amsation.htm

An excellent one-two info combo from two disparate sources. Don’cha just love it when a ‘plan’ comes together?

However, while that’s all fine & dandy, what’s truly important, interesting & notable here is:

1.) That it’s by Ted Brown.

2.) That it’s part of an interwoven evolution, sequence & stream of variants and derivatives of similar & related works by Mr. Brown. I don’t recall identifying/recognizing anything like this pertaining to other artist’s works.

3.) Furthermore, within the following wonderful tribute video by Mr. Brown’s amazing & gracious daughter, Angela Carole Brown:

Commencing at the 2:54 mark, an extremely similar variant is shown.

And then, at the 3:24 mark, the close-up of Mr. Brown and an assistant would appear to be of them working on the details of the Manned Remote Workstation (that possibly being Grumman proprietary terminology) depicted in his 1980 “Space Products” mural, to which I’ve provided multiple links in the “Comment” section below.

Fascinating, at least to me.

Nesting material by Earl Reinink

Those who have seen my last couple of postings (Red-bellied Woodpeckers) may recognize the stump this Starling is sitting on. Having finally retired, I now have the time to concentrate on taking pictures.

I have now visited this spot in the woods for the last week, spent 4-6 hours sitting in the Ram (yes, I'm inherently lazy) and have taken about 12,000 images. Truth be told, I'm starting to see this stump in my dreams arrggghhh!

However, the action has been unreal. I will share a number of "stump" images in the next few days. To me its a lesson in patience - pick a spot and the birds will come.

Brickell Key, City of Miami, Miami-Dade County Florida, USA by Urban Florida Photographer

179 7

Brickell Key is largely regarded as paradise in the heart of Miami. It has come a long way from being an aggregation of discarded dredge material. Like so many islands found in Biscayne Bay, Brickell Key is a man-made creation.

When the Brickell's arrived at the south side of the Miami River in 1871, William Brickell built a home and trading post. The location of these buildings would later be referred to as Brickell Point. When the Brickell's looked east from their home, they saw nothing but bay water from Brickell Point to the peninsula that would later become Miami Beach. It wasn’t until Henry Flagler began to develop the city of Miami in 1896 that that view started to change. Flagler’s team removed a sand bar at the mouth of the Miami River. The team also used a dredge to deepen the river and bay adjacent to Flagler’s Royal Palm Hotel to create the first port of Miami.

The dredging of the Miami River was a point of contention for William Brickell. As part of the effort to deepen the Miami River, those that Flagler put in charge of dredging began to dump limestone and river silt along and just off the shore east of the Brickell property. It was the discard off the shoreline that began to create the first of two spoil islands.

During the dredging of the Miami Canal in 1912, the larger of two spoil islands ended up being expanded with additional river discard. The downstream dredge activity created a lot of free river silt that made its way to the mouth of the Miami River. This silt was then gathered and dumped in the area of the spoil islands. At this time, a smaller spoil island was forming to the southeast of the larger island. It was believed to have come from digging out a vessel that went aground on that spot.

By 1914, the widowed Mary Brickell was quite wealthy from land transactions. During the summer of that year, she had offered to remove the spoil islands at her own expense. The spoil islands were considered a nuisance and even Dr. James Jackson, the physician for the Royal Palm Hotel and later the namesake for Jackson Memorial Hospital, declared the islands to be a menace to the health and welfare of the public. The islands were considered unsightly, difficult to navigate and possessing an unpleasant odor. Mary Brickell had intended to pump the spoil material of the islands into some low lying areas on her property. However, there was enough opposition to her proposal that it was not accepted.

The fate of the islands changed in 1916. By late spring, the Florida Internal Improvement Fund (FII), placed in ad to solicit bids for the land mass. Bids ranged from $10.10 to $3000 per acre for the five acre island. Mary Brickell’s bid was $750 for the entire parcel. Her bid was not the winning bid. On June 21st, 1916, the IIF trustees accepted the highest bid and ordered a deed to be issued to Mrs. M.R. Burlingame.

Mrs. Burlingame was a business woman who moved to Miami from Michigan. She was one of the few women to own an advertising agency at the time. Mrs. Burlingame was a big proponent of promoting Miami as a year round living destination. It was her intention to annex the smaller spoil island and to ultimately build her home on the combined islands. However, prior to the end of June in 1916, Mary Brickell filed suit to challenge the deed issued to Mrs. Burlingame.

The law suit filed by Mary Brickell was finally settled in 1918. The Florida Supreme Court declared in favor of Mrs. Burlingame and a deed was finally and officially issued. By 1920, Burlingame announced her intention to build a hotel or apartment house on the island. The island was referred to as Burlingame Island. In April of 1922, the War Department (later managed by the Army Corp of Engineers), issued a permit for a bulk head and fill of the five acre island. This work was scheduled to be complete by the end of 1922.

However, by 1924, nothing was ever developed on the island. It was eventually sold to E.J. Reed of Miami, who filed for a permit to fill a much larger, triangular-shaped island. There was no evidence that this permit was ever granted, but the request provided a preview to how future plans would influence the shape of today’s Claughton Island.

Through the remainder of the 1920s, not much had changed on Burlingame Island. There was no development and it was said that trees began taking over the topology. Some would say that the island belonged to the raccoons and rats. Ownership changed again in 1932 when R.P. Clark purchased the island. His dredging company was responsible for enlarging the island to 20.7 acres. Mr. Clark owned the island until January 1937.

In the late 1970s, Swire Properties bought most of the island from Claughton. Since then, the island has been built out with some of the tallest buildings in Miami, and the Mandarin Oriental, Miami hotel, mainly during the condo "Manhattanization" wave of the 2000s.
