El monitor Huáscar es un buque de guerra del siglo XIX de destacada participación en la Guerra del Pacífico. Fue construido en el Reino Unido en 1864 por orden del gobierno peruano y sirvió en la Marina de Guerra del Perú hasta el 8 de octubre de 1879, día en que fue capturado por la escuadra chilena en el combate naval de Angamos. El Huáscar sirvió activamente en la Armada de Chile hasta 1897, año en que fue dado de baja. Actualmente sirve como museo flotante en el puerto chileno de Talcahuano. Es una de las pocas naves de guerra de su época que aún permanece a flote.
Construido por astilleros ingleses en 1863, el Monitor Huáscar era el buque insignia de la armada peruana durante la Guerra del Pacífico. Tras el Combate Naval de Iquique, en que se enfrentó y hundió a La Esmeralda, fue capturado por Chile en la Batalla de Angamos, el 8 de octubre de 1879. En esta pereció el Almirante peruano Miguel Grau Seminario, convirtiéndose en el máximo héroe nacional de la marina de su país.
El Huáscar es un blindado de mar con espolón modelo Ericsson, que desplaza 1,130 toneladas, con 200 pies de eslora y 35 de manga. Era propulsado por un motor de 1,500 caballos de fuerza, cuenta con una coraza de hierro de 4.5 pulgadas y una torre giratoria de 30 pies de diámetro y 5.5 pulgadas de blindaje armada con dos cañones Armstrong de 300 libras y dos cañones pivotantes de 40 libras. Para los estándares de la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, se trataba da una nave de guerra respetable.
La nave se encuentra anclada en el puerto chileno de Talcahuano, a unos 500 km. al sur de Santiago, donde se encuentra la principal base naval de ese país.
CPI’s Valvealert™ provides a total solution that encompasses data collection & analysis, alert detection & triggering and report generation with the operation of reciprocating compressors. Valvealert™ is a technology that records an acoustic emission (AE) and temperature fingerprint for the operation of each valve (baseline). Data is analyzed against the baselines to determine whether anomalies with the operation of the compressor are present. The Valvealert™ records data non-intrusively from quick fit connectors that are bonded to the surface of each valve plate cover. The data is uploaded to a PC or laptop where the data is automatically analyzed and the necessary alerts are triggered. This provides a very versatile and flexible way of monitoring compressors.

Cracks and fractures come with the territory when it comes to steel structures and the 1950s Tacoma Narrows Bridge is no exception. A dedicated crew that serves the bridge has been monitoring this fracture for a long time. Thursday, Sept. 2, 2010, crews determined too much change occurred in relation to the crack and closed two lanes at noon to get it fixed.
We had a mock radiation spill, and had to suit up to survey the school house and monitor random people walking through the hallways.. It was awesome!
The USS Monitor had a flush iron-plated deck only inches above the waterline, thus leaving very little of the vessel exposed to enemy fire. Although she only mounted two guns, they were housed in a revolutionary armor-plated revolving turret that could be rotated to aim at any point of the compass without having to turn the whole ship.

My son Andrew holding a Bosc called Prada who is extremely tame but as you can see has a good grip on him!
This is from one of my first trips to Utah with a digital camera. As I remember it, the clouds were a little pink, probably from the reflection of color off of the desert. I can never remember if this is the Monitor or Merrimac butte.
Designed specifically for Reuters, this allows the keyboard to slot into the monitor.
Built in 1973
Kenneth Grange is a highly influential designer of the latter half of the c20th.
In 1972 Grange, together with Alan Fletcher, Theo Crosby, Colin Forbes and Mervyn Kurlansky established Pentagram, a world renowned multi-disciplinary design consultancy. More recently, in the 1990s, Grange has produced distinctive designs that have become part of our landscape, from the Adshel bus shelter in 1993 to the Rural Post box for Royal Mail in 1998. Today Grange continues to work with British companies including Anglepoise, furniture designer Hitch Mylius and fashion designer Margaret Howel. [from the Design Museum's website]
July to October 2011, the Design Museum held a retrospective of his work
The Design Museum was founded 1989, and (currently) occupies a 1940s banana warehouse.

Improvements in gun design in the 1820s, following the Napoleonic Wars, rendered the wooden warship largely obsolete. Firing explosive shells rather than solid cannonballs meant that wooden ships would likely be blown apart in battle in short order. To counter shell-armed ships, Great Britain, France and the US began to experiment with armoring their ships--giving them a coating of iron. However, it was too heavy for sailing ships to carry, so "ironclads" would have to wait until steam propulsion was perfected. French floating batteries during the Crimean War proved the concept, and by 1861 both the UK and France had built one ironclad apiece.
The US Navy let their ironclad designs lapse, even after the Civil War began. When the Union learned in late 1861 that the Confederate Navy was rebuilding the old steam frigate Merrimack into an ironclad--the CSS Virginia--frantic efforts began to design and build a counter. Purely by chance, a Swedish designer, John Ericsson, got his design submitted for review by the US Navy. Despite some misgivings by the review board, Ericsson's design was personally approved by President Lincoln, and construction began immediately. Ericsson would name his design the Monitor, and it was completed in 101 days.
When the Monitor was commissioned in February 1862, it could be seen why the Navy had reservations about the design. Little of the Monitor was visible above the water's surface. Ericsson designed the ship to present the smallest target possible, so most of the engineering spaces, living quarters, and command areas were belowdecks and essentially below the waterline. Only a small pilothouse and the turret were visible, and everything above the waterline was heavily armored with iron plating. Despite the ungainliness of the design, Ericsson provided relatively comfortable crew quarters. It was slow, but the Monitor was designed mainly for "brown water" river operations where speed was not considered a factor.
The turret was the most revolutionary aspect of the Monitor, though no less than 40 patents were filed on the design. Instead of the multi-gun broadsides used by all other ships at the time, the Monitor only carried a pair of 11-inch Dahlgren smoothbores. It did not need more, because the turret could be rapidly rotated to bear on targets.
The Monitor barely passed its sea trials, but she was hurried into service nonetheless: the Union learned that the Virginia was ready for combat. The Monitor was sent south, but nearly sank in a storm on the way, and so arrived at Hampton Roads a day late. By that time, the Virginia had already wreaked havoc, sinking two Union frigates and driving a third aground. The next day, on 9 March 1862, the two ironclads finally met in battle.
The Battle of Hampton Roads, however, ended on something of an anticlimax: both the Monitor and the Virginia were too heavily armored for either to do damage to the other. The Monitor sustained some damage that knocked out one of her guns, along with suffering wounded among her crew, but was never put out of action. Unable to reach the grounded ship, the Virginia withdrew from the action. After the battle, it was determined that the Monitor could have sunk the Confederate ironclad, if the Monitor's crew had aimed for the waterline or if the Navy followed Ericsson's suggestion and armed the Monitor with larger guns.
In the end, neither ironclad would live out the year. The Virginia was scuttled a few weeks later, because it could not go up the James River and was in danger of being captured. The Monitor was to sail south to Charleston, but sank in a storm off Cape Hatteras on 31 December 1862--it simply was never meant to travel in open ocean. The wreck of the Monitor was discovered in 1973, and artifacts from the ship are on display in various museums.
Dad bought the old Lindberg "Battle of the Ironclads" set, which was a "box scale" kit--the Monitor and the Virginia are not in scale with each other. Nonetheless, the models are accurate in the details of the ships. From this angle, only the armored portions of the Monitor can be seen, which was Ericsson's intention. This model now sits prominently in my office, and I use it frequently for teaching the Civil War.
Varanus niloticus, the Nile Monitor or river leguaan, is a large member of the monitor lizard family that can grow up to 8ft in length. Excellent climbers, quick runners and possessing sharp teeth, powerful jaws and razor-sharp claws for climbing, digging , self-defence – or tearing at their prey. This particular specimen has been known to make quite a mess when fed rabbits.
This thing keeps track of my heart beat. If my heart starts racing, I become dizzy, or my chest feels tight, I press a button on the top. Then, it makes a whole bunch of noise. After that, I call an 800 number, and I hold the receiver up to the heart monitor. I press play, and it makes a bunch more noise. Then they can tell if my heart is malfunctioning.
