Salon Concept Cars les Invalides 2014
2013 Renault Initiale Concept
Un concept placé sous le signe de la sagesse
La stratégie design de Renault, basée sur le cycle de la vie, figure les différentes expériences des clients : la rencontre amoureuse (DeZir), la découverte du monde (Captur), la fondation d’une famille (R-Space), le travail (Frendzy), les loisirs (Twin'Run) et l’accès à la sagesse (Initiale Paris).
Chacun aspire un jour à la sérénité et à profiter pleinement de la vie. Le concept-car Initiale Paris, présenté pour la première fois au Salon de l'automobile de Francfort, illustre l’ouverture d’esprit, les plaisirs et les sensations associés à un véhicule premium.
Initiale Paris préfigure le successeur d'Espace

Le toit du concept-car représente le plan de Paris
Initiale Paris est une voiture statutaire de 4,85m de long qui s’inspire des codes de l’architecture et de l’aéronautique.
Côté design extérieur, des losanges juxtaposés reprennent l’esprit et le dessin d’une structure en nid d’abeille. Ce thème graphique se retrouve apposé à l’extérieur sur la calandre, sur les jantes et sur les flancs latéraux. Liant l’extérieur et l’intérieur, il se dévoile aussi sur la tranche du plancher par l’ouverture des portes antagonistes.
Un véritable hommage à Paris. La composition structurelle d'Initiale Paris évoque l’ossature d’un avion et est un clin d’œil appuyé au Grand Palais et à la Tour Eiffel, monuments emblématiques de Paris. Le pavillon du concept-car en aluminium et plexiglas dessine le plan de la ville lumière - en plein et en transparence - en reproduisant ses quartiers, ses artères et la Seine.
L’accès à l’intérieur du véhicule s’opère par l’ouverture de portes antagonistes et l’abaissement d’un marchepied motorisé, autre référence à l’aéronautique. Les sièges "grand confort" des deux premières rangées invitent au voyage. Fixés au tunnel central, sans liaison verticale avec le plancher, ils semblent flotter dans l’habitacle.
Une banquette originale entièrement composée de lamelles mobiles indépendantes et animées prend place tout à l’arrière, au troisième rang. Les lames définissent poétiquement la modularité attendue sur un tel véhicule.
Une ambiance sonore travaillée. Dès la mise sous contact, une ambiance sonore accueille les occupants d’Initiale Paris. Cette signature sonore, confiée au compositeur et designer sonore Andrea Cera, fait partie des projets collaboratifs entre l’IRCAM (Institut de Recherche et Coordination Acoustique/Musique) et Renault à l’instar des sons développés pour ZOE. Renault a invité BOSE®, son partenaire sur les véhicules de série depuis 2008, à concevoir un système audio "sur mesure". Ce défi technique relevé par BOSE® annonce l’arrivée prochaine du son Surround sur la gamme Renault.
La signature "Initiale Paris", la vision du premium selon Renault
Au-delà du concept-car, "Initiale Paris" c’est aussi une signature qui incarne la vision de Renault sur le premium.
Les produits signés "Initiale Paris" offriront un design chaleureux, des matériaux et des finitions de qualité, une ambiance acoustique et thermique soignée ainsi qu’une technologie high-tech discrètement intégrée.
Francfort 2013 matérialise l’intention de Renault de faire valoir sa place sur le segment premium. Il marque l’engagement de la marque de construire cette place dans la durée avec méthode et différenciation.

Wickman's account of these photo albums:
"The drought-related stress to trees on million of acres of
ponderosa pine forests in the inland West caused dramatic
levels of tree mortality that could not be ignored by politicians. Miller, Keen, and Patterson also played a clever propaganda game to procure appropriations to increase the research efforts on the western pine beetle. During the depression, government agencies provided some level of support for artists, cartographers, and draftsmen as a “make work” program. These artisans were eagerly employed by Miller at bargain prices to produce hand-colored photo albums showing the extent of the tree mortality caused by bark beetles, what was being done, and what was needed in the form of research programs to curb this wasteful tree loss. Miller got the message across by supplying these albums to trade associations, chambers of commerce, politicians, and universities."

Patan (Sanskrit: पाटन Pātan, Newar: यल Yala), officially Lalitpur Sub-Metropolitan City, is the third largest city of Nepal after Kathmandu and Pokhara and it is located in the south-central part of Kathmandu Valley. Patan is also known as Manigal. It is best known for its rich cultural heritage, particularly its tradition of arts and crafts. It is called city of festival and feast, fine ancient art, making of metallic and stone carving statue. At the time of the 2011 Nepal census it had a population of 226,728 in 54,748 individual households. The city received extensive damage from an earthquake on 25 April 2015.
GEOGRAPHY
Patan is on the elevated tract of land in Kathmandu Valley on the south side of the Bagmati River, which separates it from the city of Kathmandu on the northern and western side. The Nakkhu Khola acts as the boundary on the southern side. It was developed on relatively thin layers of deposited clay and gravel in the central part of a dried ancient lake known as the Nagdaha.
It is the third largest city of the country, after Kathmandu, and Pokhara.
The city has an area of 15.43 square kilometres and is divided into 22 municipal wards. It is bounded by:
East: Imadol VDC and Harisiddhi VDC
West: Kirtipur Municipality and Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC)
North: Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC)
South: Saibu VDC, Sunakothi VDC and Dhapakhel VDC
CLIMATE
Climate is characterized by relatively high temperatures and evenly distributed precipitation throughout the year. The Köppen Climate Classification subtype for this climate is "Cfa" (Humid Subtropical Climate).
HISTORY
Lalitpur is believed to have been founded in the third century BC by the Kirat dynasty and later expanded by Licchavis in the sixth century. It was further expanded by the Mallas during the medieval period.
There are many legends about its name. The most popular one is the legend of the God Rato Machhindranath, who was brought to the valley from Kamaru Kamachhya, located in Assam, India, by a group of three people representing the three kingdoms centered in the Kathmandu Valley.
One of them was called Lalit, a farmer who carried God Rato Machhindranath to the valley all the way from Assam, India. The purpose of bringing the God Rato Machhindranath to the valley was to overcome the worst drought there. There was a strong belief that the God Rato Machhindranath would bring rain in the valley. It was due to Lalit's effort that the God Rato Machhindranath was settled in Lalitpur. Many believe that the name of the town is kept after his name Lalit and pur meaning township.
In May, a chariot festival honoring the deity known as Bunga Dyah Jatra is held in Patan. It is the longest and one of the most important religious celebrations in Patan.
During the month-long festival, an image of Rato Machhendanath is placed on a tall chariot and pulled through the city streets in stages.
Lalitpur said to have been founded by King Veer Deva in 299 AD, but there is unanimity among scholars that Patan was a well established and developed town since ancient times. Several historical records including many other legends indicate that Patan is the oldest of all the cities of Kathmandu Valley. According to a very old Kirat chronicle, Patan was founded by Kirat rulers long before the Licchavi rulers came into the political scene in Kathmandu Valley. According to that chronicle, the earliest known capital of Kirat rulers was Thankot. Kathmandu, the present capital was most possibly removed from Thankot to Patan after the Kirati King Yalamber came into power sometimes around second century AD.
One of the most used and typical Newar names of Patan is Yala. It is said that King Yalamber or Yellung Hang named this city after himself, and ever since this ancient city was known as Yala.
In 1768, Lalitpur was annexed to the Gorkha Kingdom by Prithvi Narayan Shah in the Battle of Lalitpur.
HISTORICAL MONUMENTS
The city was initially designed in the shape of the Buddhist Dharma-Chakra (Wheel of Righteousness). The four thurs or mounds on the perimeter of Patan are ascribed around, one at each corner of its cardinal points, which are popularly known as Asoka Stupas. Legend has it that Emperor Asoka (the legendary King of India) visited with his daughter Charumati to Kathmandu in 250 BC and erected five Asoka Stupas, four in the surrounding and one at the middle of the Patan. The size and shape of these stupas seem to breathe their antiquity in a real sense. There are more than 1,200 Buddhist monuments of various shapes and sizes scattered in and around the city.
The most important monument of the city is Patan Durbar Square, which has been listed by UNESCO as one of seven Monument Zones that make up the Kathmandu Valley World Heritage Site. The seven monument zones were included in the World Heritage List in 1979 as one integrated site. The monument zones are declared as protected and preserved according to the Monuments Preservation Act of 1956. The Square was heavily damaged on 25 April 2015 by an earthquake.
Patan City was planned in Vihars and Bahils. Out of 295 Vihars and Bahils of the valley 56% of them are in Patan. The water conduits, stone spouts, Jaladroni (water tanks), artistic gate ways, Hindu temples and Buddhist Vihars adorn the city. The in built cultural heritage like the royal palace, with intricately carved doors and windows and beautiful courtyards adorned with exquisite icons enhance the beauty of the city. Such art pieces are found in stone, metal, terracotta ivory and other objects. All these artifacts exhibit artistic excellence of the craftsmen and the whole city looks like an open museum.
ECONOMY
A substantial portion of the population is engaged in trades, notably in traditional handicrafts and small scale cottage industries, and some residents work in agriculture. Lalitpur has produced the highest number of renowned artists and finest craftsmen ever recorded in the history of Nepali art.
Patan has maintained a culture of craftwork even in the face of rapid urbanization and many social and political upheavals.
The city is less urbanized than Kathmandu, north of the Bagmati river, but is home to many workshops, stores, restaurants, hotels, schools, embassies and other important sectors of the Kathmandu Valley economy.
Buddha Air has its headquarters in Jawalakhel, near Patan.
EDUCATION
POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION
Patan is home to Pulchowk Engineering Campus, one of the oldest and most reputed colleges affiliated with the Institute of Engineering, Tribhuvan University. Patan Academy of Health Sciences is the only medical university in the city with Patan Hospital as its primary teaching hospital, and there is another medical school - KIST Medical College in Lalitpur. Other instituitions of higher learning in Patan include Kathmandu University School of Management (KUSOM) and Patan Multiple Campus.
PRIMARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION
The city is served by a number of private and public instituitions providing education from primary until secondary level. Among all, the largest and reputed schools are Adarsha Vidya Mandir, St. Xavier's School, St. Mary's, Little Angels School, Graded English Medium School, Rato Bangala School, DAV Sushil Kedia, Adarsha Kanya Niketan, The British School, Adarsha Saral Madhyamik Vidyalay and Gyanodaya Bal Batika School.
LIBRARIES
Nepal National Library which was established in 1957 AD was moved to Patan from Singha Durbar in 2061 AD. It is at Harihar Bhawan. Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya which awards the Madan Puraskar and Jagadamba Shree Puraskar literary prizes is in the city.
PLACES OF INTEREST
Patan is renowned as a very artistic city. Most of the Nepalese art is devoted to Gods, and there are an abundance of temples and viharas. Notable places of interest include:
Patan Durbar Square: The palace square and residence of the Malla rulers of Patan state which now houses a museum.
Patan Dhoka: One of the historical entrances to the old city.
Bhaskerdev Samskarita Hiranyabarna Mahavihara: A Buddhist temple known locally as Golden Temple.
Mahabouddha Temple: Also known as 1000 Buddha Temple modeled liked the Mahabodhi temple in Bodh Gaya.
Kumbheswor Temple: A Shiva temple with two ponds whose water is believed to come from Gosaikunda.
Ratnakar Mahavihar: Also known as Ha Baha, the viahara complex is the official residence of the Kumari of Patan.
Krishna Mandir: One of the most beautiful stone temples of Nepal built by King Siddhinarsingh Malla in the 16th century.
Park Gallery: an artist run space founded in 1970.
TRANSPORTATION
AIRPORTS
ROADS
Walking is the easiest method of transportation within the city as the core is densely populated. In terms of motor transport, Kathmandu Valley Ring Road which encircles the central part of the valley is a strategic road in the city. Connection to Kathmandu over the Bagmati River is provided by a host of road and pedestrian bridges. The most trafficked and important bridge connecting to the centre of Kathmandu is Thapathali Bridge. Since pedestrians and vehicles often have to share the same road, traffic congestion is a major problem in Patan. Efforts are being made to widen roads to make them more suitable to vehicular traffic.
PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION
Private companies operate a number of routes connecting Patan with other places in the valley. Buses, micro-buses and electric tempos are the most common forms of public transport seen in the city. Lalitpur Yatayat buses connects the touristic Thamel area of Kathmandu with buses stopping at Patan Dhoka, a five-minute walk to Patan Durbar Square. Lagankhel Bus Park is the central transport hub.
MEDIA
To Promote local culture Patan has one FM radio station Radio Sagarmatha - 102.4 MHz which is a Community radio station.
LANGUAGE
The original native language of Patan is Nepal Bhasa's Lalitpur dialect. Though due to the migration form other places to Patan, other languages like Nepali, Tamang, etc. are also spoken.

NEOBALLS / ZEN MAGNETS - Neodymium Magnetic Balls (@4205) - Starcraft II's Massive Thor
This is my most complex and largest build to date.
It was designed in parts: Cockpit body, then legs, then arms, then rear guns. Then I had to redesign parts when it came time to assemble it together because of incorrect bonding assumptions and misalignment of magnet fields.
Experimented with x-beam coupled bonds to get the maximum lateral strength with reinforcements on the sides. This proved to be very string. Created a X-Beam using similar methods producing a very strong leg structure. It was capable of support the entire weight of the cockpit body w/o a problem. Had to redesign the leg to cockpit body mount point from the earlier concept because the bond was not completely coupled.
Next up were the arm/guns ... the weight was too much for the cockpit body to support so I fashioned a pair of lego-platforms for them to rest on and take the weight off of the central body.
Finally ... the rear guns ... these were a challenge in that their original mount point design had to be reworked also to make them fit correctly into the rear of the cockpit body. I changed the mount points on the guns to fit the space on both sides and added a few support balls to improve the mount point bonds. I was very surprised how they were balanced and supported only by two point sections to the body. The guns stayed in place for a small series of photos.
The design flaw was in the side bonds of the beam to the legs. The coupled field held nicely for a short amount of time and would have held if it didn't have the weight of the rear guns to support. When they were standing upright and straight, all was good. As soon as I attempted to move the platform forward (to take a video), the rear guns tilted slightly backwards and and that was the end of the leg to body support bonds ... and created the dreaded implosion.
The rear gun weight caused the entire central body section to rotate backwards and fall back on the rear guns ... taking the arms in the process. Perhaps I should have created a Lego-support structure for the rear guns to remove the pendulum force backwards ... but that would have created another view blocker like the side Lego-platforms obstructed the view of the legs and feet. Not sure if I can recreate it for a rotational video ... this took over a week (on/off to design and assemble).
Overall ... I was very happy with the result ... hope I captured enough detail to warrant some visual recognition as a Starcraft II Thor reproduction/interpretation.
This was design and built for the Zen Magnets Contest 26: The Massive Thor

A little bit in love with the yarn, which seems self-congratulatory because I spun it, lol, but it is enduring endless frogging quite well, and is nice on the fingers. A few places where the yarn is quite a bit thinner, but it's not too too thin or ropey. This dk stranded technique is da bombe.
After 12 years in the photographic trade in the RAF, Brian Mateer joined Fisons This was part of their Farm Photo Plan in which two cameras one with 35mm colour Infrared film and the other with 120 negative film were used. The infrared film could pinpoint any disease in the crop.
A precarious method of photographing was employed in which Brian had to stand on the pilot seat and photograph through the open window using a fast shutter speed. Generally pictures were taken at 500 feet and the whole job would take about 30 minutes.
These images were donated by Brian Mateer.

Radshot of the day 19 aug. 2013
Day 153 of 365.
Acropora, oh Acropora, how I love thee. We visited the Coral Restoration Foundation's Key Largo Coral nursery today and participated in two volunteer work dive. This was our first dive in my Coral Reef Restoration Class, I am so lucky to be involved in such an awesome feat of human ingenuity. I had a good bit of faith restored in the technological power that humans wield today while in the fields of Acropora in Key Largo.
Acropora cervicornis, was nearly wiped off the face of the Florida Keys by a combination of improper management of sewage and hurricane damage. With the population at a devastatingly low number, Acropora is all but extinct here. It still does quite well in places like Cuba and Bon Aire, but there is not enough of a population to reproduce during spawning season and spread the colony.
CRF's goal is not to replace the current lack of Acropora, but to reinforce the live spawning population so that maybe one day it can make a come back. With over 22,000 fragments in the nursery in Key Largo, there does seem to be quite a glimmer of hope still left. We spend the day cleaning bases for fragments still being grown using the old technique of being rooted onto ceramic prisms and placed on grids of PVC tubing. We then participated in the new method of growing which is called the "tree method", where you string up small pieces of fragments on a moored PVC tree of sorts using thin gauge electrical wire. We strung up an entire tree of over 120 fragments before returning to the boat on our second dive.
This is the most productive, fun, and environmentally beneficial thing I think I have ever done in my life time. Thank you CRF!
