Jaguar Cars Ltd., better known simply as Jaguar is a British luxury car manufacturer, headquartered in Coventry, England.
Jaguar was founded as the Swallow Sidecar Company by Sir William Lyons in 1922, originally making motorcycle sidecars before switching to passenger cars. The name was changed to Jaguar after World War II due to the unfavourable connotations of the SS initials.
The Jaguar D-Type, like its predecessor the C-Type, was a factory-built race car. Although it shared the basic straight-6 XK engine design (initially 3.4L and eventually uprated to 3.8 litres in the late fifties) with the C-Type, the majority of the car was radically different. Perhaps its most ground-breaking innovation was the introduction of a monocoque chassis, which not only introduced aircraft-style engineering to competition car design, but also an aeronautical understanding of aerodynamic efficiency. The D-Type was introduced purely for competition, but after Jaguar withdrew from racing, the company offered the remaining, unfinished chassis as the roadgoing Jaguar XKSS, by making changes to the racers: adding an extra seat, another door, a full-width windshield and primitive folding top, as concessions to practicality. However, on the evening of 12 February 1957, a fire broke out at the Browns Lane plant destroying nine of the twenty five cars that had already been completed or in semi-completion. Production is thought to have included 53 customer D-Types, 18 factory team cars, and 16 XKSS versions.
The Jaguar XKSS was a road-going version of the Jaguar D-Type racing car.
After Jaguar withdrew from racing the company offered the remaining, unfinished chassis as the roadgoing Jaguar XKSS, by making changes to the racers: adding an extra seat, another door, a full-width windshield and folding top, as concessions to practicality. However, on the evening of 12 February 1957, a fire broke out at the Browns Lane plant destroying nine of the twenty-five cars that had already been completed or were semi-completed. Production is thought to have included 53 customer D-types, 18 factory team cars, and 16 XKSS versions.
Following Jaguar's withdrawal from competition at the end of the 1955 season, a number of completed and partially complete D-types remained unsold at the Browns Lane factory. In an attempt to recoup some of the investment made in building these unused chassis, and to exploit the lucrative American market for high-performance European sports cars, Sir William Lyons decided to convert a number to full road-going specification. Only minor changes were made to the basic D-type structure: the addition of a passenger side door, the removal of the large fin behind the driver's seat, and the removal of the divider between passenger and driver seats. In addition, changes were made for cosmetic, comfort and legal reasons: a full-width, chrome-surrounded windscreen was added; sidescreens were added to both driver and passenger doors; a rudimentary, folding, fabric roof was added for weather protection; chromed bumpers were added front and rear (a styling cue later used on the E-type); XK140 rear light clusters mounted higher on the wings; and thin chrome strips added to the edge of the front light fairings. In total 16 XKSS variants were made, with most being sold in the USA, before the Browns Lane fire destroyed the remaining chassis.
The American actor Steve McQueen owned a Jaguar XKSS for personal use.

The Zhongshan suit, or Mao suit as it is more commonly known in the West, remains a powerful sartorial signifier of China, despite the fact that it began disappearing from the wardrobes of most Chinese men and women, aside from government officials, in the early 1990s. For many Western designers, the appeal of the Mao suit rests in its principled practicality and functionalism. Its uniformity implies an idealism and utopianism reflected in its seemingly liberating obfuscation of class and gender distinctions. During the late 1960s, a time of international political and cultural upheaval, the Mao suit in the West became a symbol of an anticapitalist proletariat. In Europe, it was embraced enthusiastically by the left-leaning intelligensia specifically for a countercultural and anti-establishment effect.

Taken in the 'China: Through the Looking Glass' exhibition (May-September 2015).
This exhibition explores the impact of Chinese aesthetics on Western fashion and how China has fueled the fashionable imagination for centuries. In this collaboration between The Costume Institute and the Department of Asian Art, high fashion is juxtaposed with Chinese costumes, paintings, porcelains, and other art, including films, to reveal enchanting reflections of Chinese imagery.
From the earliest period of European contact with China in the sixteenth century, the West has been enchanted with enigmatic objects and imagery from the East, providing inspiration for fashion designers from Paul Poiret to Yves Saint Laurent, whose fashions are infused at every turn with romance, nostalgia, and make-believe. Through the looking glass of fashion, designers conjoin disparate stylistic references into a pastiche of Chinese aesthetic and cultural traditions.
The exhibition features more than 140 examples of haute couture and avant-garde ready-to-wear alongside Chinese art. Filmic representations of China are incorporated throughout to reveal how our visions of China are framed by narratives that draw upon popular culture, and also to recognize the importance of cinema as a medium through which to understand the richness of Chinese history.

The Advantages Of Tactical Led Flashlights
Tactical LED flashlights are specially made emergencies and life-threatening situations. They come in different shapes and sizes, but all are made out of rugged practicality in mind. Favored by police, both the military and other crisis services as well as the ones who want to make sure they have the absolute most reliable flashlight on hand for crisis situations, they incorporate the advantages of LED technologies to provide features that other flashlights canmaybe not. The inherent advantages LED light has over traditional bulbs has made tactical LED flashlights the very first choice for those utilizing flashlights in most tough situations. Fully being a solid state technology and working without fragile bulbs and filaments, LEDs can last for many years, even after taking a great deal of shocks, without needing replacement. Furthermore, the much greater efficiency of LEDs means that the flashlight can be relied on to furnish light if it's essential and to get a extended duration of time without even fading.
New approaches have been developed to recompress internal gases in fish as opposed to venting, which releases the built-up gases. In fish suffering from barotrauma, recompressing entails lowering the fish to certain depths and pressures, which causes the built-up gases in a fish’s body cavity to recompress and allows the fish to swim away. In certain fisheries like the Pacific coast rockfish fishery, this method to release fish has been highly successful at reducing the rate of release mortality.
There are several different methods and devices to recompress fish. Some are as simple as an upside down milk crate that is lowered into the water with the fish inside. Other devices are more sophisticated, such as gripping devices that are attached to a fishing rod’s line and can release fish at pre-programmed depths of 50, 100, or 150 feet.
The goal of all of these devices is to reduce the mortality of fish brought up from depth that are released. Florida Sea Grant is currently conducting trials to test the utility and practicality of these devices with the goal of giving anglers options when releasing fish.
The electric cars are coming, Range Rovers beware!
The Tesla Model S is being marked as one of the world's first electric executive/sports cars. Designed by Franz von Holzhausen, and powered by a 416hp Three-Phase induction motor, the Tesla Model S combines sweet efficiency and environmental consideration, with a top of the range, fully equipped interior, including Bluetooth Stereos, Electric Windows, Leather Seats, Wood Trim, all the luxuries of a comparable Mercedes or BMW.
The world of electric cars has come a long way since the days of the horrendously bad Gee-Whizz and its complete lack of safety, space, efficiency, speed, comfort, reliability and range. The Model S has a range of 265 miles, although it is argued this has been somewhat capped by the company. The car is incredibly safe too, gaining 5* results across the Euro NCAP safety rating. It's also sublimely styled, looking very modern and sleek. However, at £50,000 it's somewhat pricey, especially when you can get a comparable Nissan Leaf with just as much practicality for around £15 to £20,000.
Overall though, the Model S is a promising car, and a clear sign that the concept of the electric auto isn't just a flash in the pan or dead-end technology.

DENMARK: Aarhus light rail project promoter Aarhus Letbane revealed the final designs of Denmark’s first modern light rail vehicles on June 1st 2015.
The design brief aimed to create an easily-recognisable identity ‘with clear references to the Scandinavian design tradition of stylish minimalism and high functionality.’ The ‘timeless and comfortable yet functional’ styling is ‘designed to combine elegance with practicality’.
The line is expected to open in 2017, running 12 km through the city centre from Nørreport to Lisbjerg-Lystrup via the main university campus. It will connected at both ends to the Banedanmark network, allowing tram-train services to run from Nørreport through Aarhus H to Odder (26·5 km) and north to Hornslet and Grenaa (69 km).
A fleet of 26 Stadler Rail light rail vehicles of two types has been ordered. The urban services will be worked by 80 km/h Variobahn cars similar to those supplied to Bergen and Croydon, while the longer distance tram-train services will be operated using Tango cars similar to those operating in Lyon and Stuttgart, with a maximum speed of 100 km/h and a toilet.
The two types of LRV will have a strong family resemblance, despite the differences in size and configuration, and a custom front end has been developed for the Tango, similar to that of the Variobahn. The grey livery with ‘a twist of blue’ is inspired by the city’s proximity to the sea, while the red ‘does not merely infuse colour and character’, but also highlights the doors and handrails.
The air-conditioning system will be suitable for the Danish climate, wi-fi will be fitted and the LED lights will automatically adjust to match the daylight. The seats and Hallingdal upholstery have been selected by Kvadrat and AVPD.
‘We are proud of this design, which is the result of a thorough co-operation with architects, designers, the city architect of Aarhus and the supplier of the trains, Stadler Rail’, said Claus Rehfeld Moshøj, CEO of Aarhus Letbane. ‘We have also received valuable input from an advisory board consisting of elderly and disabled people. The joint effort has resulted in a design that offers a high level of comfort and good accessibility for all passengers, whether you are a child, an adult, a daily commuter or have a disability’.
‘In combination with the tasteful colour scheme and the extensive use of quality-materials, I think it is fair to say that the dual train system for Aarhus Letbane is one of the most elegant yet functional fleet of light rail trams Stadler has ever delivered’, said Stadler Pankow Managing Director Ulf Braker.

Two people caught in a quiet exchange. She holds a water bottle like an afterthought, her expression calm yet contemplative. The conversation feels unspoken, unfolding in gestures and glances against the weathered brick backdrop in Brugge, Belgium.
Besides their expressions and body language, her earrings caught my eye. They are striking—a bold contrast with her casual hoodie. They suggest a confident sense of style, adding a touch of glamour to an otherwise understated outfit. It’s an intriguing balance of elegance and everyday practicality, subtly hinting at her personality.

McCarthy Homestead - one of the 7 homesteads that are registered National Historic Landmarks at Big Prairie - North Fork - Glacier National Park.
I guess practicalities of heating ruled - that window isn't much of a picture window for the great view (see previous photo in my stream).
"The cabin is the only representative of pre-1910 homesteading activity on the west side of the Continental Divide in Glacier. During the 1930s a Civilian Conservation Corps camp was built nearby. At about the same time, the cabin, and others nearby, transitioned from homesteading inholdings to summer cabins for their owners. In the 1950s some of the CCC structures were relocated to the vicinity of the cabin. The National Park Service purchased the property in 1970."

First time I catch a Chevette in Montreal! For a car that was sold for 11 model years and to the tune of 450.000 units, you would think it would be a little more ubiquitous. I suppose Canadian winters took most of them away...
The Chevette, like the Citation, is one of those cars that is unloved (sometimes even scorned or hated) by today's journalists and yet sold in tremendous numbers back in the days. Although not GM's best, it was a good commuter car that gave a sensible choice to those who bought American out of commitment or practicality.
This particular one is a 1983+ CS model that sports the blacked-out trim and color-keyed bumpers. It'd almost make this Chevette look sporty, even though it's most likely equipped with the tame Isuzy four cylinder offering all of 70 horsepower to the rear wheels. The absence of third brake light at the back also identifies it as a pre-1986 model.
Still, for a 25 year-old car, who has had to endure quite a few harsh Montreal winters, it is incredibly well preserved! There was no rust to be found and the interior was also in mint condition. A savvy collector's summer car for sure!

In archaeology, something begins to be "archaeological" after around 100 years. But in reality, there is no real cutoff point, and if an artifact is old enough to warrant the questions "what? where? when? how? and why?", and furthermore, if the answer to these questions can be addressed using archaeological methods and theory, then in practicality, it becomes archaeological.
So.
What the hell is this? I do not know. Since it says トヨタ (Toyota), it must be a car part. Found at one of my prof's house. She's an archaeologist ;-)

I had to think about it, but this is going to be my Project 365 pic for today. As I had anticipated, the Super Takumar 35mm/F3.5 is going to be a tough lens to work with. It's just so mediocre. The pictures are like those that come out of 1980s disposable cams.
Sure, a great photographer can probably take great photos with this. But your average joe schmoe like me? Tough, bro. Real tough. I'm going to stick with my plan though, so roughly twice a month, I'll be using this lens for the Project.

310 Claydon Way is located in one of the finer neighborhoods of Sacramento. Having the advantage of being almost riverside, access to the American River Parkway and bicycle path is just one block from the home, providing lovely walks through incredible natural scenery and wildlife.
Year round, this beautiful neighborhood known as Wilhaggin, shows off its aesthetic pride with floral blossoms and blooms. Unlike other fine neighborhoods in the Sacramento area, Wilhaggin is mostly composed of sprawling single story dwellings. with wide streets, sidewalks and street lights.
The "ambiance" of this kind of neighborhood intention is palpable -- quietude, modest elegance, comfortable curb appeal, an abundance of mature and establish landscaping and shade trees.
Back when these houses were made in the sixties -- before magazine living lifestyle took over and replaced practicality with the discomforts of looking sharp -- strong bones and durability were time-honored architectural concepts. Pleasing oneself was more important than pleasing the neighbors, so the focus of the aesthetic addressed things like "hot summers", "colder winters" and the need for shade and light.
There were many independent builders at that time who became famous for their designs and also for their creative concepts for creating ideal settings for a river-living climate.
Among those that rose to fame, Lewis & Bristow are known for their comfortable living designs that centered around poolside appreciation. Shaped like a "U", 310 Claydon Way has three giant sliders that open up onto a giant back yard patio. The patio has roll-down awnings for late afternoon sun shade but also lends itself to an outside office or enclosed dinner-time eating.
The automated irrigation system has just been completely restored and upgraded. Other changes that have been done recently include brand new carpet, new paint and a remodeled entry way.
The grounds are fully established and mature. There are an abundance of roses and azaleas which bloom seasonally. The redwood trees on the property and surrounding the property in the backyard are invaluable for shade and beauty.
And 310 Claydon Way is loaded with all manner of little details of this nature which make it easy to maintain with a minimal amount of work. A truly beautiful home with over 3100 square feet, 310 Claydon way has been called "Shangri La" and has particularly great appeal to a buyer who loves outdoor living as much as indoor living.

The Roosevelt Eight “Collapsible Coupe,” — Marmon’s companion marque — delivered the first American straight-eight priced for the middle class. The Collapsible Coupe body paired a compact 2-door cabin and rumble seat with a folding fabric top, four-wheel mechanical brakes, and an L-head inline-eight (about 72 hp) on a ~114-inch wheelbase. Long hood louvers, drum headlamps, and a crisply shouldered beltline gave the model a poised, modern stance that won an international beauty prize in France. This car was delivered by the Wegge-Pelton Motor Co., the local Marmon-Roosevelt dealer.
What it says about Fannie M. Kerns — Pictured outside her office at Franklin School on Walnut Street, Pasadena’s art director chose a car that broadcast tasteful modernity without ostentation. At 51, Miss Kerns bought an eight-cylinder convertible not as a society trophy but as a design-forward working car—comfortable for solo commuting and studio calls, yet stylish for exhibition openings, with a rumble seat for the occasional passenger.
The Roosevelt’s reputation for advanced engineering at a sensible price suited an educator’s budget while aligning with an artist’s eye for proportion and line.
In status-conscious, automobile-mad Pasadena, her selection reads as confident, independent, and contemporary: a cultured professional staking out a middle path between flashy luxury and bare-bones practicality, and using her daily transport to embody the same modern aesthetics she promoted in the city’s schools.

Can technology help prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV), particularly in low- and middle-income countries? Increasingly, cell phones, cameras, crowd-sourcing, and mobile apps are being used in innovative ways to address GBV, but questions surrounding ethics, effectiveness, and practicality remain. The Interagency Gender Working Group, U. S. Agency for International Development, Woodrow Wilson Center, CARE, and Population Reference Bureau will host a panel discussion exploring the ethics around new technologies to combat GBV; how effective they are; and what some of the more practical and actionable ways forward might be.

Built from the Aston Martin VH (Vertical-Horizontal) aluminium architecture, the Rapide includes an additional 300mm within the wheelbase, allowing for another set of doors, and a more spacious 2nd row of seats. The body also adds a tailgate, opening to the roof, to improve luggage capacity and access.
The Rapide is powered by a 350 kW version of the Aston Martin 5.9 litre V12.
A stylish mode of saloon format luxury, the Rapide as a valuable addition to the Aston Martin marque for those looking for a bit more practicality from their Grand Touring.
This lego model has been created for Flickr LUGNuts 60th Build Challenge, our fifth birthday, to the 32nd Build Challenge, - 'God Save the Queen', celebrating automobiles and associated transport from the land of the United Kingdom.
This lego model include a lego vee-engine, rear-wheel-drive, and rear independent suspension. The body has four doors, rear liftback tailgate and bonnet (hood).
Sheridan&Co were given the task to translate this premium Italian brand and create an appropriate retail site that would sit comfortably within a supermarket environment. The challenge was to strike a balance between showcasing a premium, consultation-based cosmetics brand and combine the practicalities of a self-select unit in a 24 hour supermarket. These images show what we created for their site located in Tesco’s, Dudley.
Shortly about me:
It’s my passion to create stories and bring back pictures of events, people and places that are rarely seen. It’s a combination of exploration, exposition and artistry that together create a life of adventure and excitement.
In my work it is imperative for me that information be accurate and the images must be respectful of the subject and viewer. My goal is to combine creativity with practicality to capture the best possible images to document events, tell a story, meet the picture editor's deadlines.

310 Claydon Way is located in one of the finer neighborhoods of Sacramento. Having the advantage of being almost riverside, access to the American River Parkway and bicycle path is just one block from the home, providing lovely walks through incredible natural scenery and wildlife.
Year round, this beautiful neighborhood known as Wilhaggin, shows off its aesthetic pride with floral blossoms and blooms. Unlike other fine neighborhoods in the Sacramento area, Wilhaggin is mostly composed of sprawling single story dwellings. with wide streets, sidewalks and street lights.
The "ambiance" of this kind of neighborhood intention is palpable -- quietude, modest elegance, comfortable curb appeal, an abundance of mature and establish landscaping and shade trees.
Back when these houses were made in the sixties -- before magazine living lifestyle took over and replaced practicality with the discomforts of looking sharp -- strong bones and durability were time-honored architectural concepts. Pleasing oneself was more important than pleasing the neighbors, so the focus of the aesthetic addressed things like "hot summers", "colder winters" and the need for shade and light.
There were many independent builders at that time who became famous for their designs and also for their creative concepts for creating ideal settings for a river-living climate.
Among those that rose to fame, Lewis & Bristow are known for their comfortable living designs that centered around poolside appreciation. Shaped like a "U", 310 Claydon Way has three giant sliders that open up onto a giant back yard patio. The patio has roll-down awnings for late afternoon sun shade but also lends itself to an outside office or enclosed dinner-time eating.
The automated irrigation system has just been completely restored and upgraded. Other changes that have been done recently include brand new carpet, new paint and a remodeled entry way.
The grounds are fully established and mature. There are an abundance of roses and azaleas which bloom seasonally. The redwood trees on the property and surrounding the property in the backyard are invaluable for shade and beauty.
And 310 Claydon Way is loaded with all manner of little details of this nature which make it easy to maintain with a minimal amount of work. A truly beautiful home with over 3100 square feet, 310 Claydon way has been called "Shangri La" and has particularly great appeal to a buyer who loves outdoor living as much as indoor living.

Two plastic charms feature a bowl of French onion soup, and even a miniature, but readable recipe for onion soup! How's that for whimsy and practicality!
The onion soup charms are handmade by me out of hard, durable, but lightweight plastic. The image is one side only and coated with a protective matte sealer.
