I got my first Sluban Pacific Rim Uprising Yaeger this weekend (the Gipsy Avenger), and immediately started to assemble it.
But I already got frustated at building steps 5-7 out of over a hundred :-(
Apparently the manufacturing tolerance of Sluban bricks is so high that the height/width/length ratio does not correspond anymore after assembling a few bricks together.
But the inner torso construction depends on that ratio, so it was impossible to assemble the inner torso properly.
2 studs in lenght have to have a height of exactly 5 plates, and for the inner torso two 2x6 plates should hold the inner construction of 15 plates together, but the 15 plates were higher that the length of the 2x6 plates, so that didn't fit together at all.
You could squeeze it together with brute force, but then there was so much tension that the parts would pop off again after a few seconds and/or cause huge gaps.
After the initial frustration I used a nail file to reduce the height of the 2x2 brick in the middle by about half a millimeter, and after that "fix" the assembly worked just fine.
I did not encounter any further problems, so after a bad start, in the end I was quite pleased with the build.
The set came in 5 numbered part bags, but the instructions did not include any individual building steps, so ... one big pile of parts to start with.
No missing parts, and in the end I had several parts left, which were clearly spare parts, because it was only one of every (small) kind.
The color consistency was quite bad, so you get several tones of the main dark blue color (even among the same kind of part).
Some parts had a little damage and scratches at the side, and the larger pieces felt a little "soft".
As an overall conclusion, I would rate "Sluban" still as one of the weakest knockoff brands, but quality has certainly improved over the early tanks I got from that brand.
But for the 15 bucks I spent for the Yaeger, I definitely got my money's worth, so: Go for it! ... but don't forget to have a nail file at hand ;-)
Here's a T-shirt advocating men solve their problems by throwing their girlfriend out the window (or through the wall). It was for sale at Kohl's, and created a stir. Kohl's took it off their website, but - Google be praised - could still be retrieved.
There is a serious problem with cool's appropriation of domestic violence of late. If you (boys) want to be cool, you need to beat your girlfriends. Or use them for your own gratification.
Cool has always been about transgression, so domestic violence-as-cool shouldn't surprise us.

A new risky test (due to quality problems) of Svema films, here the OTO 200, in Lyon France, December 26, 2022.
I used my Zorki 4K camera (year 1977) equipped the 42-mm shade hood of my Focaflex and a FOCA anti-UV filter.
Svema (Свема) OTO 200 is a super-panchromatic film coated on a very thin polyester flat base that looks very closed to the aerial film Agfa Aviphot 200. The film an extended sensitization in the red to the near IR at 780 nm,
The film was exposed for 200 ISO using a Minolta Autometer III and its 10° finder for selective measurements privileging the shadows zones of the scenes.
Typically, and due to the poor light conditions, exposures was at 1/125s or 1/60s from f/4.5 to full aperture (f/2 of the KMZ Jupiter 8 lens)
Parc de la Tete d'Or, December 26, 2022
69006 Lyon
France
After exposures the film was processed using Adox Adonal (equivalent to Agfa Rodinal) developer at dilution 1+25, 20°C for 7min (the Rollei Superpan 200 required 8min in the same conditions) according to data found on www.digitaltruth.com).
The film was then digitalized using a Sony A7 body fitted to a Minolta Slide Duplicator installed on a Minolta Auto Bellows III with a lens Minolta Bellow Macro Rokkor 50mm f/3.5.
All views of the film are presented in the dedicated album either in the printed framed versions and unframed full-size jpeg. The negative views have of poor density and the film suffers from 2 major other problems :
1- The film is shorter than indicated since I made only 33 views instead for the given 36 exposures.
2 - Aside the first 6 views, the emulsion is damaged by darker zones and density "punctures" indicated that the stock film is likely from a stock that was poorly preserved, maybe exposed to chemical vapors or outdated (contrary to the indicated expiry date in April 2024 (batch #33). The same damages were observed the previous FOTO 400 film test indicating quality problems for these Svema films.
As for the Agfa Aviphot 200 (Rollei Superpan 200) the film is backed with a water-soluble anti halation coat that need to be removed prior to development. Three bathes of 1min with water at the same development temperature was necessary to remove the black and dark blue layer.
About the camera :
This camera was manufactured in 1977 by KMZ company ( Красногорский механический завод, Krasnogorskiy Mechanicheskiy Zavod) located in the Moscow region. KMZ also manufactured the ZENIT SLR's among many other productions. Zorki 4K was produced between 1972 to 1978 and the previous Zorki models were inspired by the Leica II since 1949. This model 'Made in USSR" is branded in roman characters, intentionally for exportation. Other Zorki 4K were also branded in Cyrillic as "Зоркий". Zorki 4K was sold basically either with this Jupiter-8 lens 1:2 f=50mm or the Industar lens1:3.5 f=50mm. The Jupiter-8 is a Sonnar Zeiss optical formula and fits to the Zorki body using the screwing M39 Leica mount.
Its was sold to me in August 2022 from Austria with its original ever-ready leather bag, a front lens cap and a small shade hood accessory Minolta D42KA. The shade hood and filter of my Focaflex also fit to the Jupiter lens (Leica standard 42 mm filter)

J’ai toujours un certain problème avec la notion de vacances. Arrêter de travailler alors qu’il reste tant à faire, que les projets continuent et que j’aime ces projets, c’est toujours difficile. Passer la journée en pantoufles, ce n’est pas mon fort. Pourtant si l’on considère qu’une grande partie des vacances, ce n’est qu’un simple temps de récupération, baisser la pression, ne pas faire grand-chose, c’est juste normal. Alors aujourd’hui, je suis un peu pantouflard.

The Coventry Canal dates from the early pioneering days of canal building in Britain and was promoted by a group of local business men with the chief aim in enabling the export of coal from their mines in north Warwickshire. In 1767 the Coventry Canal Company committee engaged James Brindley, the foremost canal engineer of the day, to survey a 38.5 mile route from Fradley to Coventry via Tamworth, Atherstone, Nuneaton and Bedworth. The construction of the canal required an Act of Parliament, which received Royal Assent on the 29th January 1768. The canal company appointed Brindley as engineer and surveyor and work began in Foleshill Parish, probably at Longford, in May 1768. The work proceeded in both directions and within six months coal was being transported from Bedworth to Longford. The canal reached the Coventry Basin on the 10th August 1769 where according to the Coventry Mercury newspaper;
"two boats laden with coal were brought to this city from this side of Bedworth. Being the first ones, they were received with loud cheers by a number of people who had assembled to witness their arrival".
James Brindley was also the engineer and surveyor of the Oxford Canal which was under construction at that time; Brindley anticipated that both canals would join together near Coventry to create a canal linking the Thames to the Mersey. The site of the junction was intended to be at Gosford Green to the east of Coventry City Centre, but the Oxford Canal Company decided that they wanted a junction at Bedworth instead. This would have saved the Coventry Canal Company the expense of building a branch to Gosford Green, but would also have deprived them of several miles of toll revenues. The dispute between the two companies dragged on and resulted in the Coventry Canal Company dismissing Brindley in September 1769 for his perceived clash of interests. A compromise was eventually agreed whereby the junction was built at Longford in 1777 with the canals running parallel alongside one another for a mile from Hawkesbury.
The Coventry Canal had reached Atherstone in 1772 but financial problems resulted in a lengthy break in construction and the final link to the Trent and Mersey Canal at Fradley was not completed until 1790. The completion of the link enabled goods traffic to travel from northern England to the south through Longford and meant that the four and a half miles from Longford to Coventry effectively become a branch serving the city.
Edited Hubble Space Telescope image of the galaxy NGC 1448.
Original caption: This image from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) shows NGC 1448, a spiral galaxy located about 50 million light-years from Earth in the little-known constellation of Horologium (The Pendulum Clock). We tend to think of spiral galaxies as massive and roughly circular celestial bodies, so this glittering oval does not immediately appear to fit the visual bill. What’s going on? Imagine a spiral galaxy as a circular frisbee spinning gently in space. When we see it face on, our observations reveal a spectacular amount of detail and structure — a great example from Hubble is the telescope’s view of Messier 51, otherwise known as the Whirlpool Galaxy. However, the NGC 1448 frisbee is very nearly edge-on with respect to Earth, giving it an appearance that is more oval than circular. The spiral arms, which curve out from NGC 1448’s dense core, can just about be seen. Although spiral galaxies might appear static with their picturesque shapes frozen in space, this is very far from the truth. The stars in these dramatic spiral configurations are constantly moving and spinning around the galaxy’s core, with those on the inside whirling around faster than those sitting further out. This makes the formation and continued existence of a spiral galaxy’s arms something of a cosmic puzzle, because the arms wrapped around the spinning core should become wound tighter and tighter as time goes on — but this is not what we see. This is known as the winding problem.
We bought two large garden rockers last Summer, and they were great. The problem was, they couldn't stay out all seasons and they took up room in the shed. A lot of room.
After many false starts - including the idea of suspending them from the shed roof - I worked out that I could hang them on the wall! And in the end it only took an hour.
Here's the first one in position, shot from both sides so you can see the mounting bracket (there's now also a small secondary bracket at the bottom, supporting the footrest).
Pleased with self.

In Nairobi, an event dubbed ‘Urban Nights’ was held to mark the World Habitat Day. A collaboration effort between UN-Habitat, Slum Film Festival, Urban Bites, Udada festival and the Nairobi City County Government, ‘Urban Nights’ is an idea for an outdoor film screening in the style format of screen on the green.
Speaking at the function, Nairobi Deputy Governor Mr. Jonathan Mueke disclosed that plans were at an advanced stage to end the street families menace by resettling them in a rehabilitation centre on the outskirts of the city.
According to the Deputy Governor, the matter was delicate since it involved human beings and the county government had to move with caution, hence the apparent delay in solving the problem. “We are dealing with lives and families and although most of these people are not from Nairobi County, we must give a human face in looking for solution to this problem,” he said.
In his speech UN-Habitat’s Director of External Relations Thomas Melin hailed the efforts by the Nairobi County to maintain public spaces. Public spaces are very crucial in any city and they must be encouraged,” he said adding that it was time for a paradigm shift in thinking so that public spaces are seen as sources of extra income by city authorities.
Mr. Kenneth Otina from FEMNET challenged the men in the audience to stand for rights of women and to raise their voice against any injustice meted out to women and the vulnerable. On his part Mr. Mordecai Odera from Film Aid told those seeking to work in slum areas to work towards earning the confidence of the residents living there.
We often magnify our problems by denial ...recently one of my friend had lots of problem with another friend of mine because he was not able to accept the irrational behavior of other friend ... and yesterday he told that he found his life had changed because he accepted the fact that other friend is usually irrational ... sometimes accepting things helps ...
Pimples and eczema are main skin problems. The simple act of sweating can clear the glands. A quick rinse in the shower loosens excess skin cells without the damage from rubbing. In addition to the benefit of releasing toxins that can zap the strength of the immune system to deal with bacteria, increased capillary flow to the skin also has a beneficial effect.

Seminar audience hears low levels of physical activity in Ireland are contributing to serious long term health problems
Delegates attending a public health seminar today learned that low levels of physical activity are contributing to long term health problems. The comments were made by Professor James Sallis, Director of Active Living Research and Professor at San Diego State University and Ms Teresa Lavin, Institute of Public Health in Ireland (IPH), at a seminar jointly hosted by IPH and the UKCRC Centre of Excellence for Public Health (Northern Ireland).
The seminar looked at why levels of physical activity are low in Ireland. It focused on how the built environment influences opportunities for being active.
Ms Lavin said: “Enhancing opportunities for physical activity is essential. Across Ireland levels of physical activity are low which has many implications for public health. While there are many reasons for low levels of physical activity one important factor is how the built environment is designed and maintained – this in turn facilitates how we move around our environment.
“We need to create more roads and pathways suited to cycling and walking as well as quality green spaces to encourage people to take physical exercise. We need to locate shops and services – such as schools – nearer to housing schemes and ensure road systems within these estates are engineered to reduce car dependency.”
Ms Lavin continued: “A recent IPH study forecasts a dramatic 40% increase in the number of people living with hypertension, coronary heart disease, stroke and diabetes in the Republic of Ireland by 2020. It is essential we reverse this trend and one way is by creating environments which are conducive to physical activity such as walking and cycling.
“To enable this to happen, there is a real need for intersectoral action – involving public health specialists, local authorities, developers and construction professionals such as architects, engineers and planners – to enhance opportunities for physical activity in the built environment across the population and especially for vulnerable groups.
“For example, in Ireland, half as many girls aged 15-17 as boys of the same age are likely to exercise four or more times weekly. Unfortunately, this trend continues through to adulthood and we need to develop specific strategies to tackle this issue.”
Professor Sallis has pioneered an extensive research programme into the environmental and policy influences on physical activity, nutrition and obesity in the United States and said: “Physical activity is a key risk factor for chronic disease; other high risk factors include poverty, unemployment, the environment, smoking, alcohol consumption and diet. The reality is that these factors are distributed unevenly across society. Ensuring that all neighbourhoods have safe and attractive places for physical activity and have shops that sell affordable healthy foods is one way to reduce these inequalities.”
Dr Mark Tully, UKCRC Centre of Excellence for Public Health (NI) who is leading a large research project on the benefits of green space to health and wellbeing said: “The visit of Prof Sallis to Ireland is very timely. We have been inspired by his research to continue our efforts to develop research into how we can help increase levels of physical activity through designing more attractive environments that support the messages our health professionals are promoting.”
