Sphinx (1292-1250 B.C.) Material: Stone / sandstone - Dimensions: 142 x 89 x 302.5 cm cm. - Period: New Kingdom - 19th dynasty - Thebes, Karnak / temple of Amun - Acquisition: Bernardino Drovetti - Egyptian Museum of Turin
Durante il periodo ramesside (1292 – 1077 a.C.), le statue erano spesso riutilizzate. Quando erano inserite in un nuovo contesto, venivano modificate in modo da adattarsi alla nuova destinazione d’uso, alla diversa ideologia reale e al differente programma architettonico. Nuove iscrizioni si sovrapponevano alle antiche e i lineamenti del volto venivano modificati. In questa statua si riconoscono ancora tracce dello stile della tarda XVIII Dinastia: la curvatura pronunciata delle sopracciglia, gli occhi a mandorla, le labbra carnose dell’ampia bocca. Tipico invece dell’epoca ramesside è il naso aquilino. Le parti terminali del copricapo e la barba recano tracce evidenti di una rimodellatura non finita.
Statues were often reused, particularly in the Ramesside period (1292 – 1077 BC). Placed in new contexts, they were modified in order to be adapted to a new purpose, a new royal ideology, or a new architectural program. New inscriptions replaced the earlier ones and the facial features were often altered. In this statue, the accentuated curve of the eyebrows, the almond-shaped eyes, and the wide mouth with fleshy lips are still influenced by the style of the late 18th Dynasty. The long aquiline nose, however, is typically Ramesside. The lappets of the nemes headdress and the beard show clear traces of unfinished recarving.
Un día como cualquier otro de agosto decidí ir a pasar la mañana a Castellbisbal.
Bien, comencé la mañana con el Ermewa, seguido fue el Químico de Abroñigal y Plaza.
Pasados unos minutos la señal de la vía 4 cambió su aspecto de parada a anuncio de precaución con una "R" en la alfanumérica que significa que el itinerario está hecho para ir a Rubí.
A los pocos minutos vi una 253, de vista parecía de Renfe Mercancías, pero al acercarse vi que pertenecía a AMF.La sorpresa fue que iba aislada, cuando no suelen hacerlo.
Según la información de un amigo, estaban de rotación cambiando a la 253.004 por la 253.003.

Aprofitant la nevada de la nit anterior, i abans d’anar a agafar justament aquesta unitat per baixar fins a Barcelona, vaig anar primer a pel Tren Groc i desprès a enxampar a aquest, el material buit entre Puigcerdà i LaTour de Carol.
Aprovechando la nevada de la noche anterior, y antes de ir a coger justamente esta unidad para bajar hasta Barcelona, fui primero a por el Train Jaune y después a pillar a este, el material vacío entre Puigcerdà y LaTour de Carol.

The St. Marks Light is the second-oldest light station in Florida. It is located on the east side of the mouth of the St. Marks River, on Apalachee Bay.
In the 1820s, the town of St. Marks, Florida was considered an important port of entry. The town served as a port for the prosperous planting region of Middle Florida and some counties of South Georgia. Growers hauled their agricultural products down to the port town in wagons by way of an early road which connected the then territorial capital of Tallahassee to the town of St. Marks. Later, this road would be widened and improved upon by the Tallahassee Railroad Company and would become the state's first railroad.
Once the agricultural products reached the new port town, they were loaded aboard boats for shipment to New Orleans and/or St. Augustine. There were, however, problems in navigating both the Apalachee Bay and the St. Marks River. In many places both bay and river were shallow, and it was not too uncommon for boats to run aground and/or get mired in the muddy shallows
After a survey was completed of the St. Marks area by Robert Mitchell, the Collector of Customs at Pensacola, and a site chosen for the lighthouse, it was discovered that the initial construction sum of $6,000 would be insufficient. The appropriation was increased to $14,000, and by mid-1829 a contract was signed with Winslow Lewis of Boston for the construction of a tower in the St. Marks area for $11,765. The finished product was not accepted by the Collector of Customs for St. Marks, Mr. Jesse H. Williams, because it had been constructed with hollow walls. Williams felt that the tower should be constructed with solid walls and, therefore, refused to accept the work.
Calvin Knowlton was brought in to rebuild the tower. He oversaw its completion, and in 1831, Williams, satisfied that the light was built according to the contract, accepted the work. That same year saw the tower's whale-oil lamps lit for the first time by Samuel Crosby, who had been appointed the first Keeper of the St. Marks Lighthouse the previous year.
The lighthouse was automated by the United States Coast Guard in 1960, and in 2000 the Coast Guard spent $150,000 in 2000 to stabilize the lighthouse. In 2000 or 2001 the lighthouse's fourth-order Fresnel lens was deactivated and a modern solar-powered beacon was placed outside the lantern room. The historic Fresnel lens remained in place in the tower for over a decade. In July 2005, Hurricane Dennis broke a window of the lantern, flooding the inside of the tower.
In October 2013 the Coast Guard deactivated transferred ownership of the lighthouse to the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, which operates the St. Marks National Wildlife Refuge. The lighthouse was deactivated in 2016 and the Coast Guard's solar beacon was removed. Financial grants from the Florida Department of State and Duke Energy in 2016, plus crowdfunded donations, were put towards repairs and restoration. On October 31, 2019, a replica of the original fourth-order Fresnel lens was lit in the tower. The light is now maintained as a private aid to navigation and is lit seasonally.

On this the material shows well, as of course does my face but sorry about that. I was just trying the dress on really, I think it deserves to ne show properly outside so when the wearther gets better sometime I wlll do that.
I got my material out to make a new knitting bag. So glad I found this appropriate material. All ironed and ready to go.
Projects to work on while staying home.
Here are some more images from this morning's observations of the activity. Nesting material being brought in, feasting on breakfast, and repositioning on a branch.
Astronaut Patrick G. Forrester works with the Materials International Space Station Experiment (MISSE) during extravehicular activity.The first MISSE experiment exposed 750 material samples to space from 2001 to 2005 to collect information on how different materials weather the space environment. The objective of MISSE is to develop affordable opportunities to conduct critical space exposure tests of space materials and components planned for future spacecraft. The experiment was the first externally mounted experiment on the International Space Station. On May 18, 2014, the SpaceX Dragon returned the latest MISSE experiments, MISSE-8, to Earth. Materials scientists from NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, helped prepare samples for flight and will analyze the samples post-flight. Marshall worked with commercial companies and other government agencies to fly 96 experiment samples on MISSE-8, including thermal control coatings, heat shield materials, solar array materials and environmentally friendly spacecraft components, such as multi-layer insulation, paint markings, and innovative polymers.

Un buen día, la modernidad llegó al Trenet. Y la gente dejó de llamarle Trenet, pues ya era Señor Tren. Catenaria cambiada, nueva electrificación a 1500V., estaciones remozadas, y las obras del Metro empezadas por fin después de más de medio siglo. Si las UT 1000 fueron la avanzadilla de aquel proyecto, las UT 3600 ya eran la realidad. El primer material nuevo en tres décadas. En el sur, claro, porque en el norte……
Llegaron de la mano de FEVE en 1982, y el cambio fue radical. La gente aún no se acostumbraba a aquellas velocidades, al confort de sus asientos (excepto el espacio entre rodillas, que pareció diseñado para marineros de submarino), y al hortera silbato que trajeron de fábrica, que provocó en los primeros días numerosísimos atropellos (aumentaron un 520%) entre la gente de la zona, acostumbrada al grave bocinón de los “miles”. Tampoco se acostumbraban a la apertura de puertas por parte del viajero, que dejó a mas de uno en el andén y a mas de dos a bordo esperando que el maquinista las abriera, como siempre hizo. Pero al final todo salió bien, y los viajeros de la zona norte, desde sus asientos de tablilla, miraban envidiosos a sus sureños vecinos….
Antes de meterse bajo tierra (servicio para el que no estaban diseñadas) circularon también por el tramo en superficie entre Soriano (San Isidro) y Valencia-Jesús, a reducido paso y esquivando vecinos insensatos. No era su culpa. El silbidito de marras, al que los vecinos contestaban burlones desde los balcones de las casas y los viajeros desde las ventanillas, provocó como hemos dicho varios disgustos, y si además unimos a eso el tradicional desapego por la vida de los moradores junto a las vías y el follón de las obras 24 horas al día, ya tenemos servida la animadversión vecinal. Cambiada la bocina, la gente ya no se acercaba tanto…...
Aquí podemos ver, en sus últimos tiempos en superficie, a la 3607 saliendo de la estación de Jesús por la vía única provisional tendida hasta el apeadero de Soriano. Tras la caseta blanca del paso a nivel estaba el tope que cerraba la clausurada línea de Nazaret, que aquella triste tarde del 14 de octubre de 1957 desapareció para siempre, tragada por las aguas del furioso Turia en 5 de sus 6 kilómetros. Dos unidades de este tipo sobreviven en el PFM de Torrent: La 3604, impecable pero no operativa, y la 3609, impecablemente vandalizada y destruída por esos que se creen unos artistas. [3607, Valencia-Jesús, 18-10-1987]

The Costa Nova Haystacks
Throughout the 19th century, fishermen from Ílhavo began to move to Costa Nova because the new shore line gave them easier access to sea than in São Jacinto. So, they began to build haystacks, storages and shelters for the seamen and the fishing boats of the Lagoon. The first haystacks were built with local materials and stood on top of stakes pitched on the dry sand of Costa Nova. The outside planks were horizontal and painted in bright red welcoming the sea with colour and energy. The interior space was wide and didn’t have any divisions as it was simply a storage house. As the years went by, some fishermen began to transform the haystacks and turned them into living spaces where several families would live during the summer.

MTPO is a very soft material that LEGO uses for parts that need to bend sharply without being damaged. I wasn’t able to find much information on this material, but it seems it’s a variant of TPO, a category of thermoplastics blended with elastomers.
At MacDonald Park on the Sumas Prairie the Great Blue Herons have formed a nesting colony. In a very short period of time, I watched several Great Blue Heron fly down to the river's edge to gather twigs for their nests.

F-14A Tomcat - 1/15th Scale
After 9 months of work my Tomcat is finally done. The model depicts Wichita 106 from VF-1 Wolfpack squadron, one of the first two squadrons to deploy onto a carrier with the Tomcat. It is displayed on a section of the USS Enterprise Aircraft Carrier that carried the squadron in 1974 and 1975.
The plane itself measures 127cm long and contains roughly 8,000 pieces. As with my Phantom it has PF function powered control surfaces including elevons, rudder and spoilers along with a host of other manual functions like variable geometry swing wings, leading and trailing edge flaps, speed brakes and arrestor hook.
The model also has an after-market F-14A sound module with a 2-inch speaker in each engine tail pipe complete with start-up and shut-down sequences and LED lights that engage at the afterburner stage.
There are numerous custom made decals and stencils, a detailed cockpit and custom vacuum formed canopy glazing. The “airbags” that sit under the sweeping wings are made from dyed Lego sail material.
The carrier deck is a section depicting the starboard forward catapult of the USS Enterprise, complete with jet blast deflector, MD-1 Tow Tractor and various poseable deck crew (designed by the awesome Joe Perez).
The nose gear is inter-changeable to depict either standing or catapult launch stances.
There are certainly nods to some of the other great Lego Tomcat builds out there so thanks to everyone who provided inspiration. This was undoubtable the most complex and challenging project I have done to date, I found the Tomcat’s curves incredibly hard to re-create even at this scale.
Thanks for looking, next up it’s either going to be a 1/15th scale F-8E Crusader or a 1/10 scale Spitfire Mk XIV…see you in 6-9 months
