Joseph Joseph Index is the name of the multi-award-winning chopping board categorisation system, designed to reduce the likelihood of cross-contamination of different food types.
The cutting board's categorization system offers 4 color coded boards to distinguish at a glance which board is intended for which use: red for raw meat, blue for seafood, green for veggies and white for cooked foods. For further ease, the boards also have an illustrated tab indicating their use. The 4 boards store in staggered order making the right board readily accessible and are contained in a neat ABS storage case that has a non-slip base. Each board is made from dishwasher safe polypropylene.
De Joseph Joseph Index is de naam van een vele prijzen winnende set snijplanken, ingedeeld in vier categorieën, herkenbaar aan kleur en symbool. De kleurcodes zijn bedoeld om de snijplanken herkenbaar te maken voor verschillende werkzaamheden. De rode plank heeft een afbeelding met een stuk vlees, de blauwe met een vis, de groene voor rauwe groente en de witte snijplank is geschikt voor gekookt voedsel.
Groot voordeel van deze strenge scheiding is de optimale hygiëne en het voorkomt vermenging van smaken. De vier planken passen in een fraaie zilverkleurige container en mogen alle in de vaatwasser.

How to Curl your Doll’s Hair:
Supplies
-Toothpicks (Split in half)
-Small rubber bands
How to:
1. Get your dolls hair damp.
2. Take a small strand and twist it into a coil at the base of the dolls head.
3. Poke a half of a toothpicks into the coil so it sticks out of the other side. Then take another half and to the same.
4. Tie a rubber band around the coil to secure it.
5. Continue doing this until all of the hair is wrapped into coils. (this will take some time)
6. Set your doll into a tall glass/cup so only her head or, upper body is sticking out. (I like to use my mothers tall coffee cups, because they’re sturdy)
7. Turn the hot water on and let it run over your dolls hair. It should get very very hot.
8. After about a couple minutes, turn the faucet off, and wrap your doll in a towel.
9. Leave the doll in the towel over night.
~
10. Repeat steps 7 & 8
11. Now carefully pull all of the toothpicks out. And cut the rubber bands out too.
(I suggest putting the toothpicks in a plastic bag so you can re-use next time.)
12. Now un-twist your dolls hair, and then carefully separate the strands
13. And then just gently run a comb through the hair. Not a brush.
14. And then just part the hair, or whatever, and you’re done!
Hopefully, this tutorial was useful to you. The results depend on your doll’s hair condition. If it’s frizzy and stuff, this might not turn out as good. But if it’s smooth and silky, It tends to work better. Hair types make a difference too. Saran, Nylon, and Polypropylene all will have different results. Polypropylene and Saran work out great, but I’m not sure about Nylon.

Very old remnants reworked and finally filled with liquid clay.
Transfers from ancient tile pictures, engraving, and positives from the middle one. The lines were then filed with liquid clay with the help of a toothpick (great tool !) and my daughter (great helper !).
I love the little sauce polypropylene jars with a lid to store liquid clay or others. You can buy them by the hundred for pennies.

Fiat 127
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The Fiat 127 is a supermini car produced by Italian car manufacturer FIAT from 1971 to 1983.
It was introduced in 1971 as the replacement for the Fiat 850. Production of the 127 in Italy ended in 1983 following the introduction of its replacement, the Fiat Uno."
(...)
"Initially only available as a two-door saloon when launched in April 1971, a three-door hatchback, using an identical body profile but with a full-depth rear door and folding rear seat, was launched the following year.
This was Fiat's first supermini-sized hatchback, along with a state-of-the-art transverse-engine/front-wheel-drive layout, with the transmission mounted on the end of the engine, both design ideas had been fully trialled since 1964, by Fiat's Autobianchi subsidiary with the Autobianchi Primula and 1969 Autobianchi A112 and A111.
The 1969 Fiat 128 was the first Fiat badged car to use the same transverse powertrain layout.
The 127 used, as the A112, a shrunken version of the 128 platform and the rugged Fiat OHV 100 series 903 cc engine, that had powered the Autobianchi and, with various cylinder capacities, earlier generations of Fiat cars.
The 127 also featured a unique transverse leaf spring suspension at the rear.
Safety was another area of innovation - the 127 included an articulated steering column and crumple zones for progressive deformation under impact."
(...)
"The car was one of the first of the modern superminis, and won praise for its utilisation of space (80 percent of the floor space was available for passengers and luggage) as well as its road-holding.
It was launched a year before the comparable Renault 5..."
(...)
"It was also the first car fitted with an all-polypropylene bumper on steel support.
The 127 was an instant success, winning the European Car of the Year award for 1972, and quickly became one of the best-selling cars in Europe for several years.
It was the third Fiat in six years to receive this accolade.
In June 1974, slightly over three years after the model's introduction, Fiat reported that the one millionth 127 had been completed at the Mirafiori plant in Turin.
The (in its time) hugely successful Fiat 600 had taken seven years to reach that same milestone."
(...)
- Series 1 (1971-1977).
"The Series 1 car changed little during its lifetime.
However, in May 1973 saloons became available in both standard and deluxe versions.
In 1975 the 127 Special variant was released which featured a restyled front grille and detail changes to the interior.
The deluxe version was differentiated by its reclining front seats and opening hinged rear side windows as standard equipment.
During the next couple of years the Fiat 850, which had initially been marketed alongside the 127, was withdrawn from most markets."
- Series 2 (1977-1981).
"The Series 2 version of the 127 debuted in May 1977.
It featured a restyled front and rear, a new dashboard (although almost identical in layout to that of the Series 1), larger rear side windows (using rear quarter pressings derived from those used on the Brazil market Fiat 147) and the option of the 1049 cc engine - uniquely for the 127 this was the five-bearing OHC "Brazil" 124 series engine from the 147 rather than the Fiat OHC unit from the 128. The tailgate was extended and now reached nearly to the rear bumper, addressing complaints about the high lip over which luggage had to be lifted for loading into the earlier 127 hatchbacks."
(...)
- Series 3 (1982-1983).
"The Series 3 was launched in Italy in January 1982 and soon reached other European markets.
It is distinguishable from the Series 2 by a more assertively plastic grille. The addition of a corresponding panel at the rear of the vehicle implied a new 'house style' inspired by the recently introduced Ritmo/Strada range. The car received a completely new dashboard design and interior, again following the design language first seen in the Ritmo.
The 1301 cc Fiat SOHC engine was also introduced as an option for the Series 3.
In nations like Norway, Denmark and Finland it was particularly successful, and there are still many in circulation today.
The 127 was replaced as Fiat's high volume product in this sector by the Fiat Uno in January 1983, though versions manufactured in South America continued in production till 1995: Fiat imported the South American 127 Unificata to Europe, until 1987."
-----------------------------
International variants
- SEAT 127 [Spain]
"As happened with other Fiat models of that era, SEAT made a Spanish version of this car called the SEAT 127.
Due to SEAT design policy, a 4-door variant of the car was also produced, as well as a later five-door version.
SEAT also produced a unique variant of the 127 OHV engine. This had 1010 cc instead of 903 cc and produced 50 bhp (37 kW; 51 PS). The four-door SEAT 127 was exported to certain markets with Fiat badging.
When their licence from Fiat expired, SEAT redesigned some parts of the car and created the SEAT Fura Dos. Some design parts of this model were also used in the Ibiza mark 1.
SEAT produced 1,238,166 units of the 127 between 1972 and 1984."

Mercury (toy manufacturer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Mercury was a brand of diecast toy cars manufactured in Italy from about 1945 through 1970s.
Along with Dinky Toys in England, Mercury was a pioneer in 1:43 scale diecast toys made in Europe.
Today, Mercury models are rather rare and not easy to find. The company logo was the word Mercury within a rectangle (often solid colored) with a round gear behind the company name."
(...)
"As with many toy car makers, Milan-based Mercury started as a diecaster of small parts. It produced metal parts mainly for auto companies.
Later an importer for German Marklin, the company was started in 1932, by Attilio Clemente and Antonio Cravero, but its first toy was a gun produced about 1939."
(...)
"Mercury made more than 100 different models in its distinguished history. Italian sedans and sports cars were often the subject of Mercury and most were in 1:43 scale. Some British, American and German cars were also offered."
(...)
"With increased costs and the competition of Politoys, Mebetoys, and other mass producers of diecast toys in Europe, Mercury had more and more difficulty keeping up. Through the 1970s, fewer and fewer cars were produced.
The last model was the Fiat Ritmo and the company closed its doors in 1978."

This is the first injected Polypropylene plastic shell chair ever made. It was designed in 1963 by english designer Robin Day and produced by Hille. This specimen was made in Brazil by L'Atelier Móveis in the late 1960s/70s, when they were producing great plastics designs like the ones by italian Kartell. This design is one of the more ubiquitous chair in the world, losing the title only to the more recent monoblock designs.
Verhuellung des Reichstags = Covering of the German House of Parliament by Christo 1995 (scan)
Christo and Jeanne-Claude:
Wrapped Reichstag®, Berlin 1971-95
After a struggle spanning through the Seventies, Eighties and Nineties, the wrapping of the Reichstag was completed on June 24th, 1995 by a work force of 90 professional climbers and 120 installation workers. The Reichstag remained wrapped for 14 days and all materials were recycled.
Ten companies in Germany started in September 1994 to manufacture all the various
materials according to the specifications of the engineers. During the months of April, May and June 1995, iron workers installed the steel structures on the towers, the roof, the statues and the stone vases to allow the folds of fabric to cascade from the roof down to the ground.
100,000 square meters (1,076,000 square feet) of thick woven polypropylene fabric with an aluminum surface and 15,600 meters (51,181 feet) of blue polypropylene rope, diameter 3.2 cm. (1.25?), were used for the wrapping of the Reichstag. The façades, the towers and the roof were covered by 70 tailor-made fabric panels, twice as much fabric as the surface of the building.
The work of art was entirely financed by the artists, as have all their projects, through the sale of preparatory studies, drawings, collages, scale models as well as early works and original lithographs.
The artists do not accept sponsorship of any kind.
The Wrapped Reichstag represents not only 24 years of efforts in the lives of the artists but also years of team work by its leading members Michael S. Cullen, Wolfgang and Sylvia Volz, and Roland Specker.
In Bonn, on February 25, 1994, at a plenary session, presided by Prof. Dr. Rita Süssmuth, the German Bundestag (parliament) debated for 70 minutes and voted on the work of art. The result of the roll call vote was: 292 in favor, 223 against and 9 abstentions.
The Reichstag stands up in an open, strangely metaphysical area, The building has
experienced its own continuous changes and perturbations: built in 1894, burned in 1933, almost destroyed in 1945, it was restored in the sixties, but the Reichstag always remained the symbol of Democracy.
Throughout the history of art, the use of fabric has been a fascination for artists. From the most ancient times to the present, fabric, forming folds, pleats and draperies, is a significant part of paintings, frescoes, reliefs and sculptures made of wood, stone and bronze. The use of fabric on the Reichstag follows the classical tradition. Fabric, like clothing or skin, is fragile, it translates the unique quality of impermanence.
For a period of two weeks, the richness of the silvery fabric, shaped by the blue ropes,
created a sumptuous flow of vertical folds highlighting the features and proportions of the imposing structure, revealing the essence of the Reichstag.
