Teōtīhuacān reached its peak from the 1st to the mid-6th century C.E. The main structures include the Pyramids of the Sun and the Moon, Avenue of the Dead, and the Temple of Quetzalcoatl (feathered serpent). Teotihuacan was home to as many as 125,000 people. The name Teōtīhuacān was given by the Aztecs long after the city had been abandoned c. 550 C.E. The original name is lost.
46 Granite Street, Barre, Vermont USA • Located in the former Italian section of Barre, the Socialist Labor Party Hall is a two story flat-roofed brick structure with a gambrel-roofed single story rear hall. It is associated with Barre's rich ethnic heritage, specifically the vital Italian community that immigrated to Barre at the end of the 19th century. The building was constructed in 1900 by volunteers of the Italian community as a meeting hall for the Socialist Labor Party, a political group dedicated to social and labor reform. Its design reflects no particular architectural style, but its form does illustrate the building's function as an assembly hall. The exterior is simply ornamented with Barre granite details. The most important of these is a carved medallion depicting an arm bearing a hammer, the symbol of the Socialist Labor Party, and the initials SLP. – from the National Park Service's Travel Itinerary website.
The Socialist Labor Party Hall is significant for its association with socialist and anarchist politics, labor organizations, and Italian immigrant heritage in the early 20th century. Barre, Vermont played a central role in the history of Italian anarchism and militant unionism in the United States, and was the leading place were debates took place among anarchists, socialists, and union leaders over the future direction of the labor movement in America. The Socialist Labor Party Hall, as the primary site for these discussions, embodies the radical heritage and the strength of the union movement during the early 20th century. – from the National Park Service.
☞ On May 16, 2000, the National Park Service designated this structure a National Historic Landmark (#98001267).
National Historic Landmarks are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States. Today, fewer than 2,500 historic places bear this national distinction. [And one of only 17 in Vermont.] Working with citizens throughout the nation, the National Historic Landmarks Program draws upon the expertise of National Park Service staff who work to nominate new landmarks and provide assistance to existing landmarks.
National Historic Landmarks are exceptional places. They form a common bond between all Americans. While there are many historic places across the nation, only a small number have meaning to all Americans--these we call our National Historic Landmarks. – from the National Park Service.
☞ This structure has also been listed on the National Register of Historic Places (#98001267), since 1998.

Gerry Leone named this town on his Bona Vista Railroad after a model railway hobby hero, former MR editor Linn Westcott. There's a bronze statue of Westcott in the town square at left. Gerry built the depot for his "Master Builder - Structures" certificate in the NMRA Achievement Program, and it features a fully-detailed interior. Look for a series on building this town in future issues of Model Railroader magazine.
Gerry is our guest on Episode 32.
If you use this as a texture, I'd appreciate it if you post link back to the original picture.
I also like to see the final result. Thanks!

For our this years #BritArmyAndFriendsReunion @CosmicConEvent in Manchester on 06./07.June 2015 I decided to proceed with my tradition of creating a special design for our group and get it printed on badges and T-Shirts being worn and shared with others and posters to be signed by all of us.

Little did I know about how things would develop then:
During our holiday on Big Island / Hawai’i we met the incredibly talented Jon Lomberg and he gave us a private tour through one of his wonderful projects: #GalaxyGarden ( www.galaxygarden.net )
Jon is one of the world's most distinguished artists inspired by astronomy.
From 1972 until Carl Sagan's death in 1996, he illustrated most of Sagan's books and magazine articles, and he was Chief Artist for Sagan's classic television series. For his work on #COSMOS Jon received in 1981 a Prime Time EMMY Award for "Outstanding Individual Achievement in Creative Technical Crafts".
With the #VoyagerGoldenRecord Jon and his team have created some of the most unusual, durable, and far-flung artifacts ever produced by the human species.
The design for the cover of the Voyager Interstellar Record, predicted to last for over a thousand million years, may be the longest lived piece of human art ever made.
(Just typing this gives me goosebumps)
www.jonlomberg.com/profile.htmlhttp://en.m.wikipedia.org/...
Meeting this great artist in person, whom I always deeply admired and whose work is breathtakingly beautiful and who is inspiring so many people all around our beautiful blue dot touched me deeply inside.
Jon’s work made history already decades ago and still is a fundamental part of #SpaceExploration of mankind.
Talking about many things like space, art and projects like his #GalaxyGarden etc. was amazing.
The latest project of Jon and his team is a crowdfunding campaign to create a self-portrait of humanity to send to the stars on NASA's #Pluto mission #NewHorizons.
This campaign is an invitation to all humans to join this amazing project and become part of our global message.

I fell in love with that campaign immediately, so after our meeting the idea of integrating the #VoyagerGoldenRecord2.0 in my design grew in me.
After completion I send my painting to Jon as I wanted to dedicate it to his project. His reply left me deeply touched and honored, reading that he loves it and would like to share it with his friends.
Like a friend lately said so perfectly:
"Heroes you admired appreciating your work…priceless."
I am delighted to say that my design now even includes a dedication of Jon himself, inviting all of us to #SpeakForEarth together.
And all of us can share our voice and thoughts and build a huge mosaic of our beautiful #BlueDot which then will be sent to #OuterSpace digitally in the near future by Jon's global team and I am curious to see how humankind defines itself these days and what kind of message we will leave in that time capsule - also for our future generations.
I feel like having received an invitaion to a #EndlessGlobalSpaceTweetup - #Spaceholix travelling through space and time TOGETHER.
So I hope YOU will join, support and share this project.
#TheMoreTheMerrier
Here are the details behind my design:
COSMICCON BADGE DETAILS:
* #SPACEHOLIX #ReachingBeyondTheStars
I created this @Spaceholix logo and catchphrase for my lanyards for last years @SpacefestVI in Pasadena/ US and #AlexTweetup in Baikonur, an epic trip, where we met the generation of moonwalkers as well as the generation of #Shenanigans2009 @Astro_Alex ( #BlueDot) and @AstroSamantha ( #Futura) – the @esa astronauts who launched to #ISS together with their US and Russian crewmates last year.
#Spaceholix include ALL people sharing their love of our stars and beyond during special events as well as via Social Media - hence all of us are circling around all planets of our solar system
* LOGO IN WIDMANSTÄTTEN STRUCTURE
The Widmanstätten structure honors all #Meteorite hunters out there, especially our dear friend and speaker at @CosmicConEvent,
@GeoffNotkin, the inspiring #RockHound and host of @MeteoriteMen ( meteoritemen.com )
as well as their brand new show @MHUnlimited ( www.meteoritehuntersunlimited.com ) the world premiere of which will be shown during @CosmicConEvent.
It is because of Geoff, that I fell in love with #SpaceRocks and his exceptional way to fascinate and inspire people.
He rocks #STEM and even more #STEAM like no one else and is truly one of a kind.

P.S. Not all pics here are taken by myself/my iPhone.
Some are part of the brainstorming process for the design (Thanks Mr. Google) or such a precious part of this unique experience, that I wanted to save and share them here.

About Bliss Dance
Bliss Dance by Marco Cochrane sculpture is a unique sculpture using cutting edge design; an unabashedly breathtaking modern sculpture in structure and balance. One that celebrates humanity, and in particular the feminine beauty, power and strength that emerges when women are safe and free to be themselves.
Carefully crafted by a staff of structural engineers to simultaneously withstand and enhance elements such as the high winds of nature and the human interaction she will nurture, Bliss Dance was built of steel weighing 7,000 lbs. and consuming a space 40 feet by 30 feet by 12 feet in size using two triangulated layers of geodesic structures enshrouded with a "skin" of stainless steel mesh.
CNET Article:
Bliss Dance weighs 7,000 pounds, is 97 percent air, and has 55,000 welds made by hand in a warehouse on San Francisco's Treasure Island. "No robots were used in the production," the artist, Marco Cochrane, joked in an interview with CNET on Wednesday.
The design, created using a low-tech pantograph modeling tool without the assistance of design software, is based on the structures of geodesic domes and has 4,500 ball joints attached to the steel mesh "skin" with screws. The sculpture, featuring a dancer balanced on one leg, is supported by six I-beams buried two feet under the surface in a radial pattern.
There are 27 multi-LED lights placed throughout the inside of the sculpture, and external lights as well. The shifting colored LED lights are controlled from an iPad touch screen using a specially created program.
"When it's lit from the inside it looks hollow, and lit from the outside it looks solid," Cochrane said. "When there's a combination of those, it gets crazy."
Those who missed seeing the sculpture at Burning Man will get a chance to see it in person when it goes on tour, Cochrane said. He's also planning for next year's sculpture, which will be even bigger.
The 720S Spider was introduced in December 2018 as the brand's new open top flagship sports car. Due to the integral roll structure of the monocoque used in the 720S, the Spider did not need additional bracing to compensate for the loss of a fixed roof. The modified monocoque loses the spine running from front to the rear of the car and is dubbed the Monocage II-S. Due to the loss of the roof, the 720S Spider uses traditional dihedral doors. The Spider weighs 45 kg (100 lb) more than its coupé counterpart due to the retractable hardtop system. The Spider marks the debut of new 10-spoke alloy wheels and new exterior colour options.
The roof is a single piece of carbon fibre and takes 11 seconds for operation, 6 seconds quicker than the 650S Spider. The roof can be operated at speeds up to 50 km/h (31 mph). The Spider uses the "flying buttress" as used on all convertible McLaren models. There is an added window on the buttress of the car to increase rear visibility. The retractable window between the roll-over hoops is carried over from the 650S Spider.
The engine and the transmission remain the same as the coupé with the engine generating the same amount of power. The Spider can accelerate to 97 km/h (60 mph) from a standstill in 2.9 seconds, to 193 km/h (120 mph) in 7.9 seconds and on to a top speed of 341 km/h (212 mph) with the top closed.
The 720S features McLaren's new M840T engine which is an evolution of the M838T used in the 650S. It is a 3,994 cc (4.0 L; 243.7 cu in) twin-turbocharged V8 engine. However, the stroke has been lengthened by 3.6 mm to increase the capacity and 41% of the engine's components are new. The engine uses new twin-scroll turbochargers which have a low inertia titanium-aluminium turbines which spin with maximum efficiency with the help of actively controlled waste gates. The engine has a rated power output of 720 PS (530 kW; 710 hp) at 7,000 rpm, giving the car its name; the maximum torque is 568 lb⋅ft (770 N⋅m) at 5,500 rpm.
Sand, silt, clay and organic matter bind together to provide stucture to the soil. The individual units of structure are called peds.
This is a structure that they are building at a bus stop I go to very often. This is the first step in the construction process.
The disturbing thing about this is not so much that the chemistry is wrong or incomplete but that there doesn't seem to be any internal checking that different things are different. i.e. WA doesn't seem to have a concept that two different named chemicals should have different structures.
