Beetles

The Coleoptera includes more species than any other order, About 40% of all described insect species are beetles (about 400,000 species) .

and new species are discovered frequently. Some estimates put the total number of species, described and undescribed, at as high as 100 million .

 

Despite the reluctance of many insect beetle, including raised in them from revolting and disgusting

However, many types are considered by some beautiful, especially the bright colors of the iris, and points of multiple colors, so it is not surprising that some in the West and the East, collect the insects as a hobby, not a stranger to automotive engineers made allowing free car-like beetle

 

In the civilization of ancient Egypt was considered sacred, and even Tfaúloa existence in their homes, and no wonder in that it found a lot of sculptures in the form of beetles, as well as many of the inscriptions and fees

  

الخنافس

أنواعها المعروفة، كثيرة جدا، يصل عددها إلى 400,000 نوع ، إذ أن 40% من الحشرات المعروفة، هي خنافس بالأصل .

إذ تقدر الأنواع المعروفة ، و الغير المعروفة، بأعداد تتراوح بين 5-8 ملايين نوع .

  

على الرغم من نفور الكثيرين من حشرة الخنفساء ، بما تثيره في نفوسهم من اشمئزاز وتقزز

إلا أن الكثير من أنواعها تعتبر لدى البعض جميلة، سيما بألوانها القزحية اللامعة، ونقاطها متعددة الألوان، لذلك ليس غريبا ان يقوم البعض في الغرب والشرق ، بجمع هذه الحشرات كهواية، وليس غريبا ان يصنع مهندسي السيارات سيارة انسيابة تشبه الخنفساء

 

وفي حضارة مصر القديمة اعتبرت مقدسة، بل وتفائلوا بوجودها في منازلهم، ولا عجب في ذلك إذ وجدت الكثير من المنحوتات على هيئة خنافس، وكذلك الكثير من النقوش والرسوم

 

The Shape of Speed

Streamlined Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1930–1942

JUN 16 – SEP 16, 2018

Portland Art Museum

 

The Portland Art Museum is pleased to announce The Shape of Speed: Streamlined Automobiles and Motorcycles, 1930–1942, a special exhibition debuting at the Museum in Summer 2018. Featuring 19 rare streamlined automobiles and motorcycles, The Shape of Speed opens June 16 and will be on view through September 16, 2018.

 

The concept of streamlining has fascinated people for generations. Beginning in the 1930s and extending until the outbreak of the World War II, automotive designers embraced the challenge of styling and building truly streamlined cars that were fast and fuel-efficient. They were encouraged by the confluence of aircraft design with the sleek shapes of fast railroad locomotives; new advanced highways such as the Autobahns; and events like the 1939 New York City World’s Fair, which showcased futuristic design.

 

The Shape of Speed presents a select group of rare automobiles and motorcycles that demonstrate how auto designers translated the concept of aerodynamic efficiency into exciting machines that in many cases, looked as though they were moving while at rest.

 

The Museum will display 17 cars and two motorcycles—the best of that era’s streamlined offerings—from Europe and the United States. Engineering drawings and period photographs will show some of the aircraft, railroad, ship and yacht designs that influenced the automakers.

 

Featured designers and engineers include European streamlining pioneer Paul Jaray, along with Richard Buckminster Fuller, Norman Bel Geddes, Raymond Loewy, Harley J. Earl, Hermann Ahrens, Georges Paulin, Joseph Figoni, Dr. Wunibald Kamm, Otto Kuhler, Jean Bugatti, Hans Ledwinka, Gordon Buehrig, and others.

This is a streamlined island, one of many observed in the large outflow channels on Mars. This outflow channel is called Kasei Valles, and is one of the largest catastrophic outflow channels on Mars. The streamlined island forms as water flows through the channel, but is blocked by some sort of obstacle, such as a crater or other topographic landform.

`The large streamlined modern house with surgery rooms on the ground floor was built in 1938 for Dr Fenton-Bowen, and designed by architects Rhys Hopkins and Shannon. It was built by J A E Humphries, the well known builder who helped create the notable Golf Links Estate in Camberwell, and father of the famous Barry Humphries. Family legend has it that he designed the house, but it seems more likely that he simply admired it..

The house is constructed of special flat dark Manganese bricks, giving it a dark brooding quality, and emphasizing the horizontal lines of the design. There is a prominent semi-circular bay on the main corner, a slim projecting concrete projection over the ground floor windows, curved corners and windows, and a flat roof combining to make a most distinctive modernist design.'

A closer look at the former Delaware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Station. Built in 1941. Architect Frederick B. O'Connor's modern, streamlined design was symbolic of speed and transportation. Constructed with a polished granite base, buff colored brick and limestone trim, the building was touted as "completely fireproof". The interior was trimmed with aluminum and had travertine floors. Trains ran on elevated tracks behind the building that were built in the 1930s when new regulations prohibited rail lines from running at street level through the city. The station served passengers until 1958. The DL&W Railroad came to town in 1848 and built its first passenger station at West Onondaga and Clinton Streets. A second larger station was built next to the Armory and was replaced by the present structure. After closing as a passenger station it was sold in 1961 and later remodeled. Since it closed, the building has served many functions, including a bus station, restaurant and an office building. Most recently the building has served as a home to a real estate appraisal company that moved there and renovated the facility in 1986. Located st 269 West Jefferson Street in Syracuse, NY. (102)

Beautiful streamlined islands and narrow gorges were carved by fast-flowing water pounding through a small, plateau region near the southeastern margin of the vast Vallis Marineris canyon system. Images captured on 7 December 2013 by ESA’s Mars Express show the central portion of Osuga Valles, which has a total length of 164 km. It is some 170 km south of Eos Chaos, which lies in the far eastern section of Valles Marineris.

 

Osuga Valles is an outflow channel that emanates from a region of chaotic terrain at the edge of Eos Chaos to the west. Such landscape is dominated by randomly oriented and heavily eroded blocks of terrain. Catastrophic flooding is thought to have created the heavily eroded Osuga Valles and the features within it. Streamlined islands in the valley indicate that the direction of flow was towards the northeast and sets of parallel, narrow grooves on the floor of the channel suggest that the water was fast flowing.

 

Differences in elevation within the feature, along with the presence and crosscutting relationships of channels carved onto the islands, suggest that Osuga Valles experienced several episodes of flooding. This perspective view, which is oriented with the direction of the water flow towards the top of the image, shows the details of the grooved valley floor and the channels carved into the islands more clearly.

Common Mergansers are streamlined ducks that float gracefully down small rivers or shallow shorelines. The males are striking with clean white bodies, dark green heads, and a slender, serrated red bill. The elegant gray-bodied females have rich, cinnamon heads with a short crest. In summer, look for them leading ducklings from eddy to eddy along streams or standing on a flat rock in the middle of the current. These large ducks nest in hollow trees; in winter they form flocks on larger bodies of water.

The streamlined Amtrak California F59PH-Is have been hard at work for two decades now, introduced in 1994. They commendably still look stylish but are looking quite work weary now. It is surely only a matter of time before new MPI locos replace them, enabling longer consists. An advertising sign has been digitally removed from above the cab! The train is braking for the Oceanside stop.

A SAL passenger train, probably the Silver Meteor led by one of the streamlined 4-6-2 class P steam locomotives, waits to depart the downtown St. Petersburg depot next to Webb's City in December of 1941. These locomotives hauled passenger trains between Wildwood, Florida and St. Petersburg. At Wildwood, northbound cars were combined with a Miami section to continue the journey to New York City, and southbound cars were retrieved to continue their journey to St. Petersburg. George W.

Transferring vehicle ownership from one Area I Soldier to another is now a lot quicker and easier than it was only weeks ago thanks to an arrangement worked out by the U.S. Army and officials of the city of Dongducheon.

 

The streamlined arrangement cuts vehicle transfer to a virtually one-stop, same-day process under an agreement reached between the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I and Dongducheon city officials.

 

Under the new agreement, a Dongducheon city vehicle registration official has been assigned to work in the Area I vehicle registration office in Maude Hall, Room 2440. That means that much of the vehicle paperwork process that previously required trips to Dongducheon City Hall can now be done right in Maude Hall.

 

“That day, on the spot, one-stop, you never have to come back,” said Eliott Bradley, who heads the U.S. Army Garrison Red Cloud and Area I’s Directorate of Emergency Services. “So that saves, right there, five days.”

 

The Dongducheon official works at Maude Hall Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

 

The agreement was signed Oct. 31 and took effect Nov. 1.

 

It applies not only to Soldiers but to all members of the Area I community – Defense Department civilians, dependents, authorized contractors and retirees, Bradley said.

 

Registering a vehicle for a member of the U.S. military community involves two sets of officials – those of the U.S. military itself, and local South Korean motor vehicle authorities.

 

In Area I until now, part of the ownership transfer process included actions that were only performed at Dongducheon City Hall. That added several days to the process of transferring ownership of a vehicle, said Bradley.

 

Now, ownership transfer, which includes transferring registration and plates and updating the vehicle decal, can be completed within a single day, Bradley said.

 

If a Soldier is nearing PCS and wants to sell a vehicle to another Soldier, for example, both would come to the vehicle registration office at Maude Hall with the necessary documents, among them driver’s license, insurance, and registration.

 

Once officials there ensure the documents are correctly filled out and otherwise in order, the Dongducheon official working there would print out new vehicle registration paperwork in the new owner’s name, Bradley said.

 

And the new owner would be issued an updated vehicle decal.

 

That’s days faster than before, mainly because Area I officials would have to travel to Dongducheon City Hall and – on Tuesdays or Thursdays only – drop off the required paperwork at the vehicle registration office.

 

“In the meantime the Soldiers would have to wait several days,” Bradley said.

 

Customers would have to make another trip to City Hall for the second phase to have license plates issued.

 

They would return to Maude Hall where an official decal would be put on the vehicle.

 

The new arrangement has also simplified some parts of the process of registering a newly arrived vehicle in Korea, Bradley said.

 

Having the Dongducheon official working out of Maude Hall speeds the process of getting that paperwork okayed, and the customer can then go, typically same day, to City Hall to be issued permanent plates.

 

But Area I officials are currently exploring steps that could eventually further streamline the process for registration of vehicles newly arrived in Korea, as well as for vehicles purchased from off-post dealers, Bradley said.

 

Capt. Nathan Bethea found transferring vehicle ownership much easier than it might have been for a process that involves two sets of authorities, one of them a foreign government.

 

Bethea went to Maude Hall Nov. 14 to take ownership of a gold-colored 1998 Daewoo Matiz he bought from a fellow-officer who was nearing PCS and had advertised it for sale.

 

They presented all the required paperwork and were in and out in about 45 minutes, said Bethea, assistant S-3 with Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 2nd Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, part of the 2nd Infantry Division.

 

“All in all I felt the process was pretty easy,” he said. “Given that I’m dealing with a foreign country I found that it went a lot easier than it could have gone.

 

“For the simple fact that it eliminates us having to go down to a Korean government building, which I think might be intimidating just because of the language barrier and so on,” said Bethea. “Having it here made it much easier,” he said. “It’s no harder than registering a vehicle in the United States.”

 

Maude Hall’s vehicle registration office is also the place to register vehicles purchased from off-post Korean dealers.

 

Those wanting further details about vehicle registration and related matters can call the Vehicle Registration Office at 730-4494.
