The OT-64 SKOT (Czech acronym for: Střednà Kolový Obrněný Transportér, and/or Polish Średni Kołowy Opancerzony Transporter – medium wheeled armoured transporter) is an amphibious armoured personnel carrier (8×8), developed jointly by the Polish People's Republic (PRL) and Czechoslovakia (ČSSR) well into the 1960's.
Until the early 1970's Czechoslovakia and the Polish People's Republic produced around 4,500 OT-64 SKOT's of all variants, just under a third of which were exported. In 2002, the modernization of the SKOT transporter began in Poland. The work resulted in the KTO Ryś prepared by Wojskowe Zakłady Mechaniczne No. 5 from Poznań.
The OT-64 was intended to replace the halftrack OT-810, which was nearly identical to the German Sd.Kfz. 251 from World War II. The first prototype was built in 1959. In 1961 the first sample series were built. From October 1963 the vehicles were produced in Lublin, Poland by Fabryka Samochodów Ciężarowych. The Polish plant acted as an assembly plant. Components of the propulsion system and power transmission, Tatra engine, Praga transmission and chassis, were imported from Czechoslovakia.
Armoured hulls and turrets (Huta in Ostrowiec Świętokrzyski and Huta Częstochowa), elements of the suspension system (Huta Stalowa Wola) and on-board armaments (Zakłady Mechaniczne in Tarnów) were manufactured in Poland. Production ended in July 1971. Of the 4,500 OT-64's produced, 2,500 were obtained by the Polish army, and 2,000 by the Czechoslovak army. They were also acquired by the Hungarian army. Later, after introducing the BMP-1 infantry fighting vehicles into service, SKOT transporters were exported to other countries. Today, they are gradually being replaced by newer vehicles.
The OT-64's engine, transmission, suspension and axles were produced in Czechoslovakia. The engine was produced by Tatra. The gearbox was manufactured by Praga HostivaÅ™. It has a pre-select Praga-Wilson gearbox, 5 forward +1 reverse gears. A gear is selected using the gear stick. When the gear is required the left pedal, gear change action/clutch combined, is pressed to the floor, giving a hiss of air sound. On release of the pedal the dry plate clutch engages after about half the return spring controlled movement.
The drive then passes to an auxiliary gearbox with low, neutral and high ratios which needs to be selected before moving off, for road/neutral/off-road use. This gives option to the driver of 10 forward and 2 reverse ratios. The gear change pedal is hydraulic and on action opens an air valve which causes the selected gear to engage. The armoured hull and weapons were produced in Poland.
The OT-64 was the answer to the Soviet BTR-60. Contrary to this, the OT-64 used a diesel set in place of a petrol engine. That diminished the danger of fire and at the same time increased the range. The main advantage in relation to the Russian counterpart was the full-armoured interior. The entrance is at the rear of the vehicle via twin doors. The OT-64 has nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection facility and night-vision equipment. It has central inflation for all wheels which can be controlled by the driver. The OT-64 is air-transportable and amphibious, with two propellers installed at the back.
Several variants were built. Some OT-64 were re-equipped for air defense or built as tank hunters. The latter used the AT-3 Sagger missile as a weapon.
▪︎OT-64 SKOT entered service with Polish and Czechoslovak armies in 1963. It was produced until the early 1970's. It is still in service in Poland and Slovakia, among other operated by the Slovak police. Czech units were replaced in 2006 by new armoured vehicles Pandur II CZ. During the 1990's, Slovakia purchased hundreds of these units from the Czech Republic (150 in 1994, 100 in 1998). Slovaks then sold them to mainly African countries. The OT-64 SKOT was exported to eleven countries. The total number of vehicles produced was 4,500.

The Lumen Christi United Reformed Church in Tavistock Place, London replaces an 1820s building destroyed by a V2 rocket in World War II. The new building opened in 1966 to the designs of architect Courtenay Theobold but was imaginitively remodelled in 2007 by Theis & Khan who added the stricking conical reflective space whose diagonal form divides the interior and pierces the ceiling like a solidified ray of light.
Other features of artistic interest are the windows at either end of the building, at the liturgical east (actual south) end is a fine example of 1960s dalle de verre stained glass by Pierre Fourmaintraux, whilst the main facade at the opposite end features a striking sculptural metal lattice forming a beautiful geometric pattern by artist Rona Smith.
This striking contemporary church is well worth a visit though I'm unsure of normal opening times as we visited as part of London Open House in September 2019.
the subfloor was full of stanky mildew. as of two years ago, this bathroom never even had an exhaust fan. it's no wonder it's crumbling.

Are you kitten me right meow?! There's a new Google Chrome extension that's trying to "Make America Kittens Again" - and it's amazing! If you read the news often, you're most likely tired of seeing Trump's face everywhere online. Luckily, this new Google Chrome extension called "Make America Kittens Again" can offer you sweet relief, as it replaces images of the big guy with...you guessed it - kittens! We tested the extension and it worked great on the New York Times and Dailymail, but,
Ended up replacing the bearings. May need a new headset as this one is not in great condition. Will try it for a while and see how it goes.

We replaced this Pace satellite receiver (used to receive Sky) some years back. Ever since then, it's been cushioned in bubble-wrap and just taking up valuable storage space. It seems a shame to just toss it in the bin and so its time to move it on to someone who's actually going to use it.
It comes with remote control and instruction manual. I am unaware of any obvious or latent defects, and am selling it without guarantee or warranty.

The High Altar is one of the most magnificent in the country. In the apse, massive pilasters of red Algerian onyx support a coffered dome with the inscription AT THE NAME OF JESUS LET EVERY KNEE BEND (a later twentieth-century addition replacing the original Latin text). Arches to left and right have an extraordinary architectural feature of single columns supporting entablatures which have no other purpose than to act as plinths for gilded sculptures of angels. The whole effect, which is almost theatrical, is made all the more so by concealed lighting from above two outer arches leading to the side chapels.
Jesuit church dating originally from the immediate post-Relief Act period, but almost entirely and magnificently rebuilt in the late nineteenth century. Particularly notable for the richness of the internal architecture and furnishings. Located in the Winckley Square conservation area.The old faith clung on tenaciously in Preston. In 1582 the Lord President of the North wrote to the Bishop of Chester: ‘In your like countries there is plenty of Jesuits and massing priests. I wish I might hear that some preachers are planted there to cross them. I hope before this you have one in Preston’ (Warren, p 10).The Preston Mission was served by the Society of Jesus from 1701. A large (for its time) chapel was opened in 1761 in Friargate (the site of the later, and now demolished St Mary’s). The Catholic James Boswell visited this and found it ‘so filled with seats that I wondered at so much indulgence by the Civil Magistrates (Warren, p.24). This was plundered during the election riots of 1768.In 1773 Pope Clement XIV suppressed the Society of Jesus. However Bishop Challoner, effective head of the Church in England and Wales, was kindly disposed towards the ex-Jesuits and allowed them to continue to serve their missions.In 1776 Mr Joseph Dunn, the famous ‘Daddy Dunn’ arrived at Preston to help lead the Preston Mission, a role he was to fulfil for 51 years. In 1792 (that is, very soon after the Second Relief Act of 1791 legalised the building of public places of Catholic worship), he oversaw the building of a new Chapel in Fishergate. Opened in 1793, this became the church of St Wilfrid.This was a non-conformist-style galleried church of the type that widely prevailed in the immediate post-Relief Act period. Its outer shell survives to this day, and is most discernible at the east end. However, by 1877, when work began on the present church, it was considered very old fashioned, especially compared with the other great churches (St Walburge, St Ignatius, English Martyrs) that had now risen in the town. In 1877 Fr Jackson addressed a public meeting, which was reported as follows:St Wilfrid’s ought at least to be equal if not superior to other churches and they intended to make it so (loud applause)…they were going to give the congregation…a substantial new church, which would be beautiful…It was to be in the Italian style – a truly and emphatically a Jesuit church (applause)…They would sweep through every obstacle. The galleries had been the subject of great difficulty to them…but he might tell them that their present intention was to say ‘goodbye to the galleries’ (applause)…Galleries were a thing of the past; they did not look well; and would, moreover, interfere with the entire structure of the church…’ (Warren, p. 75)The architect or this ‘Truly Roman Church’ was Fr Ignatius Scoles SJ (1834-96), the eldest son of JJ Scoles. He had qualified as an architect before becoming a Jesuit priest in 1860.Bishop O’Reilly of Liverpool presided at the opening of the building on April 25 1880.In 1884 the Jesuits left Church House, the presbytery built by Mr Dunn in 1793, and bought and adapted the present presbytery, which overlooks Winckley Square.In 1890 the plain external walls of the building, incorporating much of the 1793 chapel, were adorned with decorative terracotta, stone and brick detail, in an exuberant Italian Renaissance style, under the direction of S.J.Nichol. The interior was also further embellished with marble work.LIST DESCRIPTION:Roman Catholic church. 1793, rebuilt 1879-80 by Ignatius Scoles and S.J.Nichols. Red brick with much buff terracotta cladding and dressings, slate roof. Nave on north-south axis, with east and west aisles, east chapels and south apse. Italian basilica style. Six-bay nave embraced by tall aisles. High plinth dressed with sandstone, then rusticated terracotta to ground floor level, with bands, frieze and cornice of matching material. The gabled tripartite north front, the centre breaking forwards slightly, has a large round-headed doorway with very elaborate terracotta surround including tympanum with reliefs, and flanking side doors in similar style; a large circular window near the top flanked by monograms and under an enriched pediment, and windows to the tops of the aisles, of 2 round-headed lights, all these with elaborate terracotta surrounds. The west side has high-set round-headed windows with similarly elaborate surrounds.INTERIOR: basilica form, with colonnades of massive Corinthian columns in polished red marble mounted on square plinths of black marble; coffered barrel-vaulted ceiling; marble cladding to the walls and apse, in various hues, including giant Corinthian pilasters; mosaic portraits of saints over arcade to chapel; canted north gallery with ornamental cast-iron balustrade.
I've replaced my DMC-FZ18 with a DMC-FZ30, bought on eBay for $75.00. I do like the focus and zoom rings, and the battery can be changed even when on a tripod! Camera: Panasonic DMC-FZ30, teleconverter: Panasonic DMW-LT55. (P1000242)
Just to prove that DCL's signals work, I watched this train pass the signal, and naturally it was replaced to red. The train that has caused this to happen is a Chiltern Railways dmu.

I made this using Premiere Pro. I keyed the sky then adjusted the colour tolerance to get rid of the sky completely. I then added a time lapse video of clouds moving to the video track below.
Recently, one of my own friends took a picture of the Avenue Building on 3rd Avenue South in Saskatoon. However, his intention was to take a picture of the storm clouds that were forming. However, I paid attention to the Coca-Cola ad. But as of last week or something like that, that worn-out Coca-Cola ad has been replaced with a "mural" or "painting" that uses the City of Saskatoon's catch-slogan "Saskatoon Shines!" This picture turned out fairly good for a picture taken just before 10:00 pm. This is also my one of the first pictures that I took with my new Eye-Fi memory card.
Built in the 1300s to replace earlier cathedrals, Regensburg Cathedral (Dom St. Peter) is the finest Gothic building in Bavaria. Its harmonious exterior, alive with interesting medieval sculptures, has recently been fully cleaned. Inside are even more sculptures along with an extensive collection of medieval stained glass.

Households on Rota, Tinian, or Saipan that lost food stamps or food purchased with food stamps in Typhoon Hagibis have more time to ask for replacement. The U.S. Agriculture Department gave the CNMI Nutrition Assistance Program permission last Friday to extend the reporting period to November 6. Up to 50 percent, or $484,530, of the food stamps issued in the weeks prior to Hagibis may be replaced. Agriculture said the CNMI must notify the eligible households in person or by mail of the extended reporting period and the requirements for replacement eligibility.
When the night falls the image of the city changes. Daylight is replaced by islands of artificial light. Brightly lit shop windows and facades, illuminated signs, headlights of passing cars and traffic lights are perceived as signals in a background noise: the gleam of streets, squares and roads caused by public lighting. The night - the realm of fantasy and magic - in Eindhoven is the stage for GLOW 2010.
‘(Re-)Discovering Eindhoven’ puts well-known urban spaces by means of artificial light in a different perspective and illuminates unexpected locations in the city. GLOW 2010 focuses on sites that tickles the imagination of artists. Familiar situations get a new meaning and places that are invisible or ignored because of their obscure nature are revealed by light. Think of the dark corners with waste bins and the poor backsides of luxury shop exteriors, with drain pipes, air conditioners, motion detectors, security fences and emergency exits. At daytime lifeless and uninteresting, during night hours titillating, inhospitable and sometimes ominous. These sites stimulate the imagination of artists and inspire them in their quest for the visible and hidden urban identity.
‘(Re-)Discovering Eindhoven’ shows the city in other disguises. As a space for rhetoric, narration, memory, dialogue and self-reflection. GLOW 2010 allows artists to bring back magic into the innercity by adding light objects to the existing streetscape, not fearing techniques of seduction and drama. Some make their own story and use materials they find in the surrounding areas. Others start a dialogue with the urban environment by making use of existing wall surfaces that serve as giant projection screens or exploit the interior of an existing building for their personal discovery.
One thing all light objects have in common. At various locations something appears that deviates from the ordinary and offers a surprise or perhaps a small miracle. Something that attracts and helds the public attention, makes curious and cannot immediately see through. But every work of art causes individual thoughts and feelings about a place using the magical power of light.
This stretch of Wells, between 46th Street and 46th Place is a WPA street. Yes it was twenty years old when we moved here in 1956, installed by President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Works Progress Administration. I don't know what material they used, but it gets unusually soft in the summer, so soft that car tires sink into it. And over the years, it has developed a network of cracks. At 80 years old, it's been patched and patched and repatched. It really needs replacing. Finally.
