Last month the British magazine Practical Classics published the results of a reader's poll for the top 100 collector's vehicles of 2016. For me there were surprises both for what was on the list and what was not. However there were eight Fords on the list, which I have assembled here as Vangaurds models. The rankings were: #92: Sierra, #89: Granada, #76: FWD Escort, #73: Consul Capri, #61: Fiesta, #44: RWD Escort, #7: Capri, #4: Cortina.

And I hope to make it into something great for all blackwork enthusiasts - got anything to share, please contact me!
A Montessori Poem .... Today I did my math and language, practical life too, I used my eyes, my ears and hands, my senses the whole day through. I added and subtracted, learned patience all the day I used tweezers, blocks, and puzzles, And worked with the scrubbing tray. I learned how to mix colors, And learned how to weigh. So mom and dad, please don’t say, “DID YOU BRING ANY PAPERS HOME TODAY?” You see, I’m sharing as I play, Learning self-control throughout the day, I’m learning to listen and speak clearly when I talk, To wait my turn and when inside to walk, To put my words into phrases, To balance along the “Red Rod” maze, To find my name and write it down, I do it with a smile, not a frown. So mom and dad, please don’t say, “WHY DON’T YOU HAVE ANY PAPERS TODAY?” I learned about a snail, I learned about a worm, I learned about flags and maps, And how to take a turn, I helped a friend when he was stuck, I learned that water runs off a duck. I looked at words from left to right, Agreed to differ, not to fight. Today I sang the continent song, I learned the difference between right and wrong, So mom and dad, please don’t say, “DID YOU ONLY PLAY TODAY?” Because yes, I played the whole day through, I worked to learn the things I do, Encounter a problem, find the clue and work it out for myself, I do. My teachers set the scene and stand near-by, They want me to succeed and teach me how to try. They pose the questions, and help me to think, They keep me afloat and would never let me sink. So don’t get discouraged and frustrate me, I try my best and I’m learning each day. So mom and dad, please don’t say, “HAVEN’T YOU DONE ANY WORK TODAY?” -Author Unknown-
Happy memories when I found I still had this copy of Practical Wireless from 1975. It was the feature on the front of this that at least partly led me to some years of DJ'ing in the late 70s and early 80s. :)

The thing is, she's not entirely original anyway. She's got a Mountney steering wheel (factory one's in the pile of spares), and a Pye radio and pair of speakers in the boot - the radio is very 80s, with rotary tuning! Its not antiquated though, it's a full tri-band with MW, LW, and FM; when demonstrated, it was already tuned to my favoured station, Classic FM. But enough of the interior.
The local Mountain Rescue Team were finding it difficult to transport all their gear in two Land Rover's, so they have bought this:- 2019 VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER T32 H-LN TDI BMT4M
Look at that. Just look... You'd never believe she was 31, would you?
This is quite possibly my dream car. The only thing this car's missing that I would have liked would be OE-spec foglights; not impossible to source second-hand and retrofit, but it's not quite the same - and to be fair, I'd feel a little like I was defiling her award-winning originality! Oh, did I mention the awards? They're included too...

CRITICAL ASSEMBLY
THE SECRETS OF LOS ALAMOS 1944:
INSTALLATION BY AMERICAN SCULPTOR JIM SANBORN
------------------------------
In Critical Assembly (1998-2003), Jim Sanborn has re-created the moment in 1945 when human beings first fashioned a practical device powered by nuclear fission. It was called the "gadget" We know it today as the Trinity bomb. When it exploded on July 16 in the New Mexico desert, it permanently changed the human condition.
The place Sanborn takes us to is Los Alamos, in the 1940s a secret town known to the outside world only by its mailing address, Post Office Box 1663, Santa Fe, New Mexico. The scene is a small building in an isolated canyon, far enough from other buildings to contain the radiation. On the tables are "criticality experiments," their purpose to determine how much plutonium 239 can be packed into a bomb for maximum yield without making the bomb unsafe to handle.
Electronic instruments, hardware, furniture, tools and materials used by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory during the 1940's and 1950's were acquired by the artist during a six year period from a variety of sources including Lab employees (some of whom had originally made or designed them) These employees had bought these objects many years later as surplus materials at public sales carried out by the Laboratory. Any materials the artist was unable to collect in Los Alamos he machined and fabricated himself.
Plutonium and highly enriched uranium are very unstable metals. If the scientists placed too much of either material in one place it would spontaneously fission or "go critical" causing a tremendous burst of radioactivity that would kill everyone in the immediate area. Conversely if too little material was used to make a bomb it would not detonate at all. This is not to say that sub-critical masses were non-hazardous, in fact they were extremely dangerous. At any given time several of the experimenters tables held a highly radioactive sub-critical mass and a hemispherical reflector (the tables were kept far enough away from each other to reduce the chance of a fission event). The sub-critical masses on the tables were so close to criticality that the reflective properties of the human hand could cause a dramatic rise in radioactivity and the scientists frequently played tunes on the ever present sound of the Geiger counters.
In the late 1940's the scientists at the Lab referred to these experiments as "tickling the tail of the dragon" and the table top work was done with very little personal radioactivity shielding. After 1950 these criticality experiments were done using robotic arms controlled from shielded rooms.
The "Physics Package" as it was called of the "Fat Man" bomb (the one dropped on Nagasaki Japan and tested earlier in Southern New Mexico) is depicted on two metal tables in this installation.
Evocative of both the brilliance of the collective human mind and the potentially devastating power of knowledge, this installation is about the allure of pure science and the ethical dilemmas scientific researchers have faced for decades.
There are two ways to achieve the awareness and the experience of the Soul. One, is the 'kramic' marg, which is a step-by-step path where one has to do penance, meditation, stay obedient to a guru (teacher) and slowly and steadily get acquainted with his Soul.
The other is the 'Akram' marg, the step-less path, akin to a lift, where one gets direct Self-realization because of a Gnani's blessing (without penance, meditation,etc). However, such an Akram marg is an exception and it is only available sometimes.
Pujya Deepakbhai talks about the Akram marg of Param Pujya Gnani Purush Dada Bhagwan, where fundamentally, two things should be understood - 1. Who am I? and 2. How does this world function? Or who is the real doer?
With this basic understanding, most of our worng understanding / beliefs will be corrected. This Spiritual Science of Akram marg will help us practically in our daily lives.
