in his first solo exhibition in spain, artist petrit halilaj has transformed madrid’s palacio de cristal into a giant nest of massive flowers. the artist has connected the temporary installation with the city’s retiro park by opening windows, setting up structures, and placing feeding areas to attract the birds and other creatures inhabiting or passing through the park. ‘to a raven and the hurricanes which bring back smells of humans in love from unknown places’ is the first show inaugurated by the museo reina sofía since its closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which interrupted the montage of the exhibition.
Palacio de Cristal del Retiro
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Palacio de Cristal
The Palacio de Cristal ("Glass Palace") is a conservatory located in Madrid's Buen Retiro Park. It was built in 1887 on the occasion of the Exposition of the Philippines, held in the same year, then a Spanish colonial possession. The architect was Ricardo Velázquez Bosco.

The Palacio de Cristal, in the shape of a Greek cross, is made almost entirely of glass set in an iron framework on a brick base, which is decorated with ceramics. Its cupola makes the structure over 22 metres high. When it was erected, glass and iron construction on a large scale was already to be seen in Madrid at Delicias station (1880), the work of a French architect. However the curved architecture of the Palacio de Cristal is more comparable to the techniques pioneered by the British architects Joseph Paxton (who was responsible for London's Crystal Palace) and Decimus Burton (who was responsible for the Palm House at Kew Gardens).
The cast-iron frame was manufactured in Bilbao.[1] The structure was designed in a way that would allow it to be re-erected on another site (as happened to the equivalent building in London). However, the building has remained on the original site, next to a lake, and has been restored to its original appearance. It is no longer used as a greenhouse, and is currently used for art exhibits.[2]

This photo is repersenting scale because in the phot this man is seen eating himself. It looks as if he could fit inside his own mouth event though he really couldnt he just had to be scaled down to fit

A very high detailed model
Comparative analyses of scale structures of the wild and farmed seabreams was undertaken. In addition, the scales of escapees were investigated as well. This preliminary research has shown for the first time that the scale of the fish in captivity show a range of degenerative features, the most striking one being a lack of compositional layering that is nicely depicted in the image presented here. This investigation is one of the first, introducing electron microscopy into marine biology.

Anhydrous Ammonia is a dangerous substance. It needs to be handled by trained personnel using equipment and facilities that are in compliance with the regulations. A slightest mistake might lead to an accident, resulting in injuries, death, as well as equipment, materials, product and property losses.
This 1:24 scale model is built to provide training to the agricultural personnel. The model is depicting a generic ammonia storage and distribution facility. It features a storage tank, a railroad tank car, a tractor trailer tank and a nurse tank that actually takes the ammonia to the fields. Each main component (tank) has a loading riser representing the exact scheme of loading and unloading of that particular type of tank.
The model represents the correct pipes layout, valves, emergency features (including shut-off systems, fire extinguishers and immersion tubs with a clean water), labeling and signage - all in exact accordance to the requirements.
This is another example of a training model that literally saves lives. We built two of these models, which were presented to the agricultural professionals and received the highest feedback for accuracy, attention to details and high quality.

I think this is Pseudococcidae. I get a bit bamboozled by the various cushion scales etc. I need to look at more resources about them. This was on coastal wattle.
Basic lower hull is fastened together. At 1/6th scale, the lower hull measures a huge 50" long by 16" wide. 3/4" plywood doublers strengthen the sides. If you look carefully at the sides above the doublers, you can see the 1/4" wide slots cut for the suspension's torsion bars
Very ingenious "double" system whereby the the first 20 grammes read in large on the bottom, then the second needle or pointer on the second level reads to 350 grammes in "small print". Think it was used for pharmaceutical preparation, or maybe just Sherlok Holmes used it for splitting up his morph doses.
