Italy district
builds its frames with slow, precise movements that do little to encourage visitors to engage in idle chatter.
In the second room, which is as small as the first but still completely tidy, his son Jacques assembles a bicycle or repairs one belonging to a loyal customer. His wife ties or tightens the spokes on a wheel. Around them, there are never more than two or three people who are not ‘part of the service’. The conversations are those of connoisseurs. They know about gears. They have tried out the equipment. No, always in the utmost calm, they simply exchange a few bits of gossip about the latest races, those they have just competed in or watched on television.
Henri Depierre joined a bicycle manufacturer in Le Tréport at the age of fifteen. Even then, he was interested in racing frames and made a few at home, thanks to the advice of a specialist craftsman who had worked for a reputable frame manufacturer.
From 1940 to 1946, he competed in races as an amateur and moved to Paris, supplying custom-made frames to several frame manufacturers.
Then came the crisis of the 1950s for the bicycle industry, caused by the success of mopeds and the development of the automobile. After spending a few months at Arliguie, where he set up a workshop, Henri Depierre changed careers and began manufacturing... floor lamps.
In 1967, when his son finished his military service, he decided to set up his own business as an independent craftsman and builder. The seriousness of his design and construction methods and the new boom in cycling ensured the success of his company.
The frame design
Henri Depierre believes that the best way to make beautiful frames is to love your craft and to perfect your skills. It's a recipe that works as well as any other. But you still need to study the optimal dimensions and find a style. That's what he did, ‘like Chapman did for Lotus’, as one of his friends likes to say.
What is the ‘Gemini’ style?
It is based on two simple ideas:
- the angle of the seat tube depends primarily on the length of the femur, and does not simply vary according to the height of the frame;
- the design of the steering system has a decisive influence on the bike's handling on long descents.

Monchichilove to be precise!
Monchhichilove has been helping me find Snorks within my budget and has sent me these two! Were these ones yours or did you find extra Monchichilove?
Sadly the close up photo of this pair went wrong but you can be sure that this pair will feature in plenty of photos yet to come.
I was impressed enough with just the pretty box!
Someone is missing... I had been cuddling and adorable worm Flibbie and forgot to let him wiggle into the shot. He needs his own photo...
Thank you so much xx This was an absolute joy to receive :O)

D'abord, il faudrait préciser que je ne shoote que rarement des gens, et quasiment jamais des inconnus. Mais là, ce jeudi 10 mars 2011 au Musée d'Orsay*, quand elle a passé la porte vers la sortie, j'ai aussitôt été fascinée par son visage de porcelaine, son allure intemporelle. Je lui ai demandé la permission, elle a hoché la tête en souriant, j'ai cliqué une fois pour ne pas abuser.
J'aurais préféré qu'elle ne sourit pas, pour accentuer son air de poupée de collection. Mais comment deviner que, le lendemain, le monde qu'elle connaissait allait disparaitre dans la fureur de la Terre et des eaux.
Je pense à toi, jeune amie souriante, pour moi tu resteras le symbole de ton peuple courageux.

this picture has its own history.
You must know that I usually dont shoot people, and never unknown people But, on march ten 2011 in the Orsay museum*, as she went out the door to leave, I was immediately fascinated by her porcelain face, her timeless style. As I asked for her agreement, she simply nodded with a smile. I took only this one shoot, to avoid any unpleasant insistence.
I had better without her smile, to insist on her porcelain doll look. But I couldn’t guess that the day after her beloved country would be so close to the point of no return under the fury of Earth and waters.
I think of you, smiling young friend, for you will remain for me the symbol of your sturdy, courageous people.

This is a component for a nanofactory.
A device to lock out arbitrary shaped micro-components from a practically perfect vacuum (green)** to a gas or liquid filled environment (red) without letting a single molecule of the medium back in. The device needs to be atomically precise with atomically flat piston surfaces. As of 2015 this device is not yet producible.
** Practically perfect vacuum is a requirement for mechanosynthesis of diamond. Although it is not yet possible to attain such a vacuum in today’s ultra high vacuum (UHV) vessels (which are in the meter scale and have imperfect steel walls which adsorb gas molecules) estimative calculations show that practically perfect vacuum certainly will be possible in microscopic atomically precise vessels made from gemstone like materials.

Warangal Fort, in the present-day Indian state of Telangana, appears to have existed since at least the 13th century CE. Although precise dating of its construction and subsequent enhancements are uncertain, historians and archaeologists generally accept that an earlier brick-walled structure was replaced with stone by Ganapatideva, who died in 1262, and that his successors – Rudramadevi and Prataparudra II – added to its height and added gateways, square bastions and additional circular earthern walls prior to the latter's death in 1323. This places the construction towards the end of the Kakatiya period. There were later modifications between the 15th and 17th centuries, comprising principally the addition of barbicans to the four gates in the stone wall and the creation of gates in the outer earthern wall.
Remnants of the structure can be seen today near to the town of Warangal, which was the Kakatiya capital. The Archaeological Survey of India has listed the remains as a Monument of National Importance.
_____________________________
The 12th and the 13th centuries saw the emergence of the Kakatiyas. They were at first the feudatories of the Western Chalukyas of Kalyana, ruling over a small territory near Warangal. A ruler of this dynasty, Prola II, who ruled from A.D.1110 to 1158, extended his sway to the south and declared his independence. His successor Rudra (A.D.1158--1195) pushed the kingdom to the north up to the Godavari delta. He built a fort at Warangal to serve as a second capital and faced the invasions of the Yadavas of Devagiri. The next ruler Mahadeva extended the kingdom to the coastal area. In A.D.1199, Ganapati succeeded him. He was the greatest of the Kakatiyas and the first after the Satavahanas to bring the entire Telugu area under one rule. He put an end to the rule of the Velanati Cholas in A.D.1210. He forced the Telugu Cholas of Vikramasimhapura to accept his suzerainty. He established order in his vast dominion and encouraged trade.
As Ganapati Deva had no sons, his daughter Rudramba succeeded him in A.D.1262 and carried on the administration. Some generals, who did not like to be ruled by her, rebelled. She could, however, suppress the internal rebellions and external invasions with the help of loyal subordinates. The Cholas and the Yadavas suffered such set backs at her hands that they did not think of troubling her for the rest of her rule.
Prataparudra succeeded his grandmother Rudramba in A.D.1295 and ruled till A.D.1323. He pushed the western border of his kingdom up to Raichur. He introduced many administrative reforms. He divided the kingdom into 75 Nayakships, which was later adopted and developed by the Rayas of Vijayanagara. In his time the territory constituting Andhra Pradesh had the first experience of a Muslim invasion. In A.D.1303, the Delhi Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji sent an army to plunder the kingdom. But Prataparudra defeated them at Upparapalli in Karimnagar district. In A.D. 1310, when another army under Malik Kafur invaded Warangal, Prataparudra yielded and agreed to pay a large tribute. In A.D.1318, when Ala-ud-din Khilji died, Prataparudra withheld the tribute. It provoked another invasion of the Muslims. In A.D.1321, Ghiaz-ud-din Tughlaq sent a large army under Ulugh Khan to conquer the Telugu country then called Tilling. He laid siege to Warangal, but owing to internal dissensions he called off the siege and returned to Delhi. Within a short period, he came back with a much bigger army. In spite of unpreparedness, Prataparudra fought bravely. For want of supplies, he surrendered to the enemy who sent him to Delhi as a prisoner, and he died on the way. Thus ended the Kakatiya rule, opening the gates of the Telugu land to anarchy and confusion yielding place to an alien ruler.
The Kakatiya period was rightly called the brightest period of the Telugu history. The entire Telugu speaking area was under the kings who spoke Telugu and encouraged Telugu. They established order throughout the strife torn land and the forts built by them played a dominant role in the defence of the realm. Anumakonda and Gandikota among the `giridurgas', Kandur and Narayanavanam among the `vanadurgas', Divi and Kolanu among the `jaladurgas', and Warangal and Dharanikota among the `sthaladurgas' were reckoned as the most famous strongholds in the Kakatiya period. The administration of the kingdom was organized with accent on the military.
Though Saivism continued to be the religion of the masses, intellectuals favoured revival of Vedic rituals. They sought to reconcile the Vaishnavites and the Saivites through the worship of Harihara. Arts and literature found patrons in the Kakatiyas and their feudatories.

The stained glass at a cathedral in eastern France will no longer produce a distinctive green ray seen just twice a year, on the spring and autumn equinoxes, after the precise pane was replaced during a recent renovation.
www.france24.com/en/live-news/20220322-strasbourg-cathedr...
Admirers learned of its loss when they hoped to see the phenomenon at exactly 4:33 pm on Sunday, when the Earth's axis was directly perpendicular to the sun -- marking the first day of spring.
But the website of Strasbourg's gothic cathedral warned visitors that, as of March 16, the pane's replacement meant there would no longer be any "green ray" illuminating a stone carving of a crucified Christ.
The light had fuelled speculation of a divine blessing on the cathedral completed in 1439, with hundreds of people coming to witness the twice-yearly event, though church officials insisted it was a pure coincidence of celestial geometry.
The stained-glass window in question was installed in 1876, and the sun would pass through the left foot of Judah, a son of Jacob, to produce the famous ray.
Faced with the outrage caused by the disappearance of the famous green ray visible during the equinoxes in the cathedral of Strasbourg, the regional direction of cultural affairs explained in a statement: a reversible patina has been affixed to the foot of Judah pending a final restoration of the stained glass.
Faced with the indignation of many people, the regional direction of cultural affairs of the Grand Est (DRAC) has explained in a statement about the disappearance of the famous green ray of the cathedral of Strasbourg.
"A reversible patina has been affixed to the transparent glass, in March 2022, by the regional conservation of historical monuments on behalf of the State owner of the cathedral, in agreement with the clergy affectionate worship of the building and the foundation of the Oeuvre Notre-Dame, "said the DRAC in this statement.
A complete restoration of the stained glass window representing Judah is planned later and should be entrusted to a master glassmaker. It is the light of the sun, which by crossing this stained glass at the level of the foot of Judah, one of the ancestors of Christ, caused the appearance of a green ray twice a year during the autumn and spring equinoxes. This luminous phenomenon lasted a few minutes at the end of the morning and was repeated for about a week.
The indignation of the "discoverer" of this green ray in 1972
The stained glass windows of Strasbourg Cathedral, getting damaged with time, are regularly restored. The latest work undertaken by the DRAC concerns the stained glass windows located in the south of the religious building. It is within this framework that the stained glass window of the green ray has been partially restored.
It is moreover following a restoration dating from 1972, that the green ray appeared for the first time. The foot of Judah would have been replaced by a raw glass and thus transparent allowing the passage of light. It is an engineer-geometer, Maurice Rosart who first discovered this phenomenon.
The latter has also expressed his deep dissatisfaction. "This act is a bad blow to the people of Strasbourg, to culture, to secularism, to the lights", he deplored, recalling that a cover had already been briefly affixed in the spring of 1990 on the stained glass, preventing the ray from forming.
A disappearance which makes decidedly grind teeth since a Strasbourgeois, Julien Laurent, decided to launch a petition so that the green ray is restored. For him, "the green ray should benefit specifically from a classification and a protection as a historical monument, given its extraordinary aspect.
It must be said that this famous green ray has fueled polemics for years, between supporters of esoteric explanations and religious authorities, who only see the malicious and ingenious hand of the human being.
Devant l'émoi suscité par la disparition du fameux rayon vert visible durant les équinoxes au sein de la cathédrale de Strasbourg, la direction régionale des affaires culturelles s'est expliquée dans un communiqué : une patine réversible a été apposée sur le pied de Juda en attendant une restauration définitive du vitrail.
Devant l'indignation de bon nombre de personnes, la direction régionale des affaires culturelles du Grand Est (DRAC) s'est expliquée dans un communiqué concernant la disparition du fameux rayon vert de la cathédrale de Strasbourg.
"Une patine réversible a été apposée sur le verre transparent, en mars 2022, par la conservation régionale des monuments historiques au nom de l’État propriétaire de la cathédrale, en accord avec le clergé affectataire cultuel de l’édifice et la fondation de l’Œuvre Notre-Dame", a précisé la DRAC dans ce communiqué.
Une restauration complète du vitrail représentant Juda est prévue plus tard et devrait être confiée à un maître verrier. C'est la lumière du soleil, qui en traversant ce vitrail au niveau du pied de Juda, un des ancêtres du Christ, provoquait l'apparition d'un rayon vert deux fois par an lors des équinoxes d'automne et de printemps. Ce phénomène lumineux durait quelques minutes en fin de matinée et se répétait durant environ une semaine.
L'indignation du "découvreur" de ce rayon vert en 1972
Les vitraux de la cathédrale de Strasbourg, s'abîmant avec le temps, font régulièrement l'objet de restauration. Les derniers travaux entrepris par la DRAC concerne les vitraux situés au sud de l'édifice religieux. C'est dans ce cadre que le vitrail du rayon vert a été en partie restauré.
C'est d'ailleurs suite à une restauration datant de 1972, que le rayon vert est apparu pour la première fois. Le pied de Juda aurait été remplacé par un verre brut et donc transparent permettant le passage de la lumière. C'est un ingénieur-géomètre, Maurice Rosart qui a découvert le premier ce phénomène.
Ce dernier a d'ailleurs fait part de son profond mécontentement. "Cet acte est un mauvais coup porté aux Strasbourgeois, à la culture, à la laïcité, aux lumières", a-t-il déploré, rappelant qu'un cache avait déjà été brièvement apposé au printemps 1990 sur le vitrail, empêchant le rayon de se former.
Une disparition qui fait décidément grincer des dents puisqu'un Strasbourgeois, julien Laurent, a décidé de lancer une pétition pour que le rayon vert soit rétabli. Pour lui, le "rayon vert devrait bénéficier spécifiquement d'un classement et d'une protection au titre des monuments historiques, compte tenu de son aspect extraordinaire."
Il faut dire que ce fameux rayon vert alimente les polémiques depuis des années, entre partisans d'explications ésotériques et les autorités religieuses, qui n'y voient que la main malicieuse et ingénieuse de l'être humain.

It's hard to be precise in matching the top photo, taken in 1965, because so much has changed. That photo was taken just before the Don Valley Parkway was constructed to just north of Sheppard Avenue, taking up the course of what was, at the time, Woodbine Avenue. My shot, at the bottom, was taken in 2010 and approximates the same view, to within a few dozen meters or so, give or take. These views face east towards Woodbine Avenue and the overpass over Hwy 404 respectively.
You stand to get an even better idea of just how much this intersection changed by clicking the map link in the "Additional Information" section on the right and selecting the satellite view.
Well, luggage tags to be more precise. In my ultimate nerdity, I decided to make luggage tags out of the badge. First, I shrunk my badge down to 3" by 2.25" @ 300DPI. Then, I created a backing with the flickr snout and the proper Yahoo! family branding. Then, I created a 5" x 7" (300DPI) photoshop file and laid them all out. You can fit two tags on one 5 x 7. Finally, I went to Kinkos and printed out a 5 x 7, and used their luggage lamination pouches. $1.97 for the print, $3.00 for two pouches. It rounds out to about $2.50 per tag.

Precise temperature control requires temperature monitoring in close proximity to the sample. The easy-to-use thermocouple placement device reproducibly spot welds up to 3 thermocouples directly onto the sample for temperature resolutions of 0.05°C across the full temperature range. The welding current and time, the contact pressure, and the inert gas purge can be adjusted to endure a strong spot weld onto the sample.

What I've learned so far in my endeavor to practice precise piecing:
1) I am a lazy quilter. "close enough" is good enough to me. I must here apologize to anyone I've ever been in any sort of a bee with (Ima Bee'ers and Bitty Block Committee). You mean I have to DOUBLE pin?? As in 2 pins PER INTERSECTION rather than 0? (Although I did do the double pinning, like a good not-lazy quilter).
2) This little block (which will finish at 3 inches square) took me FOREVER to make and I am not too certain that it is much more precise than any other piecing I've done. Oops. I think I feel, once again, that "close enough" will do.
3) Starch is pretty awesome. I'd never really used it before this class. Now I feel empowered to take on my itty bitty pieces of Liberty Tana Lawn (which is what the floral is in this block). Thank you to all of the people who have sent me little bits!
4) Those of you who are precise piecers (Monica, I'm talking to you!!) are superheros! How do you ever get anything done? You (Monica!) crank out the projects and they are all precise and excellent! I am even more mightily impressed now.
5) When pressing seams open it does actually do to press rather than iron. I see now why people talk about pressing. When I put them all to one side (or in alternating directions on alternate rows), I can just drag the iron across to my heart's content. With open seams that makes quite a mess!
6) In order to sew with lightweight fabrics, one must change one's sewing machine needle once in a blue moon. Boy did I make a mess before I realized what the problem must be!

Stay in the loop
When was the world's first railway laid? No one is quite confident on a precise date but simple rails have been used to guide vehicles for centuries, definitely as far back as the middle ages and possibly even in ancient Greece.
What is certain is that in the early 1600s a Nottinghamshire businessman called Huntingdon Beaumont came to Northumberland and laid rails from collieries near Blyth to a shipping point on the coast.
His waggonway used horses hauling wooden waggons on wooden wheels on wooden rails, however this was not a financial success. It did though provide the spark of progression from primitive wooden rails over short distances, to a railway network which would change Britain and the world forever.
Tyneside Roads
From the mid 1600 onwards waggonways and the Tyneside coal industry became linked so closely that they were known throughout the rest of Britain as 'Tyneside Roads'. A network of lines linked collieries on both sides of the Tyne to the river.
It is no coincidence that the North East was the area where waggonways took greatest hold, because canal building was impossible due to deep valleys and steep hills. What set the rail systems of Tyneside apart from all others was its use of the flanged wheel - a key element of the modern railway as we know it.
A revelation
When the Tanfield Railway - or waggonway as it was known at the time - was built in 1725, it was a revelation. Its massive engineering was unlike anything else in its era, or even since the Roman Empire. It was a triumph of engineering over nature, a clear signal that a new industrial age was upon the world, and that railways would play a massive part.
First laid down more than a quarter of a century before the first railway officially sanctioned by government, over 75 years before the first steam locomotive and a whole 100 years earlier than the Stockton and Darlington Railway, the Tanfield Railway is the world's oldest railway. We will be the first railway to celebrate our tricentenary in 2025.

Warangal Fort, in the present-day Indian state of Telangana, appears to have existed since at least the 13th century CE. Although precise dating of its construction and subsequent enhancements are uncertain, historians and archaeologists generally accept that an earlier brick-walled structure was replaced with stone by Ganapatideva, who died in 1262, and that his successors – Rudramadevi and Prataparudra II – added to its height and added gateways, square bastions and additional circular earthern walls prior to the latter's death in 1323. This places the construction towards the end of the Kakatiya period. There were later modifications between the 15th and 17th centuries, comprising principally the addition of barbicans to the four gates in the stone wall and the creation of gates in the outer earthern wall.
Remnants of the structure can be seen today near to the town of Warangal, which was the Kakatiya capital. The Archaeological Survey of India has listed the remains as a Monument of National Importance.
_____________________________
The 12th and the 13th centuries saw the emergence of the Kakatiyas. They were at first the feudatories of the Western Chalukyas of Kalyana, ruling over a small territory near Warangal. A ruler of this dynasty, Prola II, who ruled from A.D.1110 to 1158, extended his sway to the south and declared his independence. His successor Rudra (A.D.1158--1195) pushed the kingdom to the north up to the Godavari delta. He built a fort at Warangal to serve as a second capital and faced the invasions of the Yadavas of Devagiri. The next ruler Mahadeva extended the kingdom to the coastal area. In A.D.1199, Ganapati succeeded him. He was the greatest of the Kakatiyas and the first after the Satavahanas to bring the entire Telugu area under one rule. He put an end to the rule of the Velanati Cholas in A.D.1210. He forced the Telugu Cholas of Vikramasimhapura to accept his suzerainty. He established order in his vast dominion and encouraged trade.
As Ganapati Deva had no sons, his daughter Rudramba succeeded him in A.D.1262 and carried on the administration. Some generals, who did not like to be ruled by her, rebelled. She could, however, suppress the internal rebellions and external invasions with the help of loyal subordinates. The Cholas and the Yadavas suffered such set backs at her hands that they did not think of troubling her for the rest of her rule.
Prataparudra succeeded his grandmother Rudramba in A.D.1295 and ruled till A.D.1323. He pushed the western border of his kingdom up to Raichur. He introduced many administrative reforms. He divided the kingdom into 75 Nayakships, which was later adopted and developed by the Rayas of Vijayanagara. In his time the territory constituting Andhra Pradesh had the first experience of a Muslim invasion. In A.D.1303, the Delhi Sultan Ala-ud-din Khilji sent an army to plunder the kingdom. But Prataparudra defeated them at Upparapalli in Karimnagar district. In A.D. 1310, when another army under Malik Kafur invaded Warangal, Prataparudra yielded and agreed to pay a large tribute. In A.D.1318, when Ala-ud-din Khilji died, Prataparudra withheld the tribute. It provoked another invasion of the Muslims. In A.D.1321, Ghiaz-ud-din Tughlaq sent a large army under Ulugh Khan to conquer the Telugu country then called Tilling. He laid siege to Warangal, but owing to internal dissensions he called off the siege and returned to Delhi. Within a short period, he came back with a much bigger army. In spite of unpreparedness, Prataparudra fought bravely. For want of supplies, he surrendered to the enemy who sent him to Delhi as a prisoner, and he died on the way. Thus ended the Kakatiya rule, opening the gates of the Telugu land to anarchy and confusion yielding place to an alien ruler.
The Kakatiya period was rightly called the brightest period of the Telugu history. The entire Telugu speaking area was under the kings who spoke Telugu and encouraged Telugu. They established order throughout the strife torn land and the forts built by them played a dominant role in the defence of the realm. Anumakonda and Gandikota among the `giridurgas', Kandur and Narayanavanam among the `vanadurgas', Divi and Kolanu among the `jaladurgas', and Warangal and Dharanikota among the `sthaladurgas' were reckoned as the most famous strongholds in the Kakatiya period. The administration of the kingdom was organized with accent on the military.
Though Saivism continued to be the religion of the masses, intellectuals favoured revival of Vedic rituals. They sought to reconcile the Vaishnavites and the Saivites through the worship of Harihara. Arts and literature found patrons in the Kakatiyas and their feudatories.
