Taken at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, and in my opinion, this is the way more things ought to look.
Body fat scales are one of the most convenient ways to measure your body fat percentage. Body fat scales have some tremendous advantages over other types of body composition tests. Here are some of the most important. - www.atcomaart.com/pd/66495769675357566657/gym-scale/body-...
Those tiny small white dots in the middle of the photo, just below center are a couple of birds that were flying next to the rockface...if that helps give any scale.

Most dramatic among the construction workers of Hoover Dam were the "High Scalers", men who removed loose rock, by jackhammers and dynamite, from the sheer cliffs of Black Canyon, both for safety and for dam stability. Dramatically swinging hundreds of meters over the canyons by rope, they quickly became popular attraction for visitors. In one instance, after Bureau of Land Reclamation engineer Burl Rutledge fell over the top of Black Canyon, high scalers Oliver Cowan and Arnold Parks managed to catch him midair.
Perhaps more importantly was the high scaler's contribution to construction safety. Protecting themselves from the same danger of falling rocks by wrapping cloth hats coated with coal tar, the hard-boiled hats soon attracted the attention of the Six Companies when it saved the lives of several individuals from would-be fatal accidents. The hard hats were soon applied throughout the company.
In 1995, Steven Liguori and Hoover Dam Spillway House concessionaire Bert Hansen commissioned this statue commemorating the high scalers, sponsored by the Nevada State Business Enterprise Program.

On board Royal Caribbean's Radiance of the Seas cruise to New Zealand, ex Sydney, 8-17 December 2019.
Milford Sound, New Zealand, situated on the west coast of the South Island.
Described by Rudyard Kipling as the 'eighth wonder of the world', Milford Sound was carved by glaciers during the ice ages. Breathtaking in any weather, the fiord's cliffs rise vertically from the dark waters, mountain peaks scrape the sky and waterfalls cascade downwards from as high as 1000 metres. When it rains in Milford Sound, and it often does, those waterfalls multiply with magnificent effect.

Wagga Wagga Invitational Run 2018 - Saturday 03-11-2018.
This is a 1:100 scale model of a Commercial Space Station, which we were commissioned to build in 2019. The model features a variety of customized modules, stowage facilities, an airlock, an observatory, a robotic arm and a main solar array. The model is accompanied with replicas of the SpaceX Dragon and Boeing CST-100 supply ships. Later we are going to add to this set a replica of the SpaceX Dragon 2 as well. The model also includes several posed astronaut figurines, designed and customized for us by Mr. Max Grueter.
The model was designed in 3D software, produced by rapid prototyping and manually assembled, painted and decorated.
In this model we implemented the features and technics developed for our models of ISS, which we were building and perfecting since 2008. The model has reliable internal reinforcement system, holding the modules together. Most vulnerable elements are produced from durable materials – metal and nylon. Selected components and supply ships’ replicas have embedded magnets, allowing to reconfigure the station and exercise various docking schemes. The model is mounted with support poles on a black painted base.
The model is designed to be partially disassembled during transport. It is packed in a Pelican heavy duty transit case and can be fast and easily assembled for presentation.
A fantastic model railway HO scale that was on display at the show.

To further help my Uncle on his diet (and to make sure he doesn’t secretly eat away at my chocolate stash) I started make him stand on the scales every evening and note down his progress, if there is any.
After comparing the results with those of the previous evening, I usually have a little pep talk with my Uncle... I found that bringing Thwack along to this session is most motivating.
My Uncle usually starts sweating before he has even begun his nightly work out :-)
The ice pick plays a crucial part in the story because it brings down the helicopter, being thrown into the tail rotor, so we built it in all three scales, 1/7, 1/4 and 1/2 scale.
I had to buy ink for my classroom printer. Walking toward the store, I happened upon this gem. With a graphic like this, the angle from above seemed the most powerful option.
I have learned that whenever I am stumped on what to photograph for the Monthly Scavenger Hunt group I can always go to my favorite little antique market next to my office and find exactly what I want! This used to hang in a grocery store and I think it would be fun to have in a kitchen somewhere. Maybe it would keep me from eating so much! ;-)
July MSH Entry - "Scale/Scaled"
Scales Road looking westward. The building which looks a bit like a corkscrew - from this distance anyway - is part of Tottenham Fire Station in St Loy's Road.
This picture shows various pieces of metal that have a known mass (and weight.) Since the two are directly proportional to each other (F=m(9.8)), scales on earth always measure weight and can also give mass if the numbers on the dial are changed. This can most easily be seen with the smaller green and silver spring scale in the middle, which measures grams (a mass) and Newtons (a weight.) The next video discusses how these various scales give a reading that can be used to obtain the object's weight or mass
