Coccinella septempunctata. A voracious predator that may eat as many as five thousand aphids, hemiptera, and bionicle mask bugs in its brief three- to six-week lifespan. Or until I take it apart. Bold red and black markings warn larger creatures that ABS tastes awful and is hard to chew.
With all those studs, perhaps this one is more "model team" or "creator" than "technic"? It's technic on the inside though. Simple functions. The legs are driven by the black twelve-tooth bevel gear. And the wings, once deployed, flap together from the dark bley eight-tooth gear.
The big 3,000 piece UCS version with motorized legs, elytra, and wings is still under development…

Recently got these stunning liftarms! Lacquered and chrome parts are always weird because determining authenticity is very difficult, here is where they came from according to the seller:
"[the supplier] said that they were involved with LEGO [Mindstorms] in Denmark for a few years. They did special beams officially for a contest and/or media stunt. These are the extras."
"LEGO was invited to be a founding partner of the Google Science Fair (GSF), an international competition for students to present innovative ideas and win big awards.
Marketing manager Steven Canvin, in charge of the LEGO MINDSTORMS robotics platform, was the point of contact for the GSF, and was tasked with putting a prize package together for the future winners.
All winners would receive a LEGO MINDSTORMS robotics kit, and to make the prizes more exclusive, a limited amount of gold TECHNIC beams were produced, to go with each kit."
This story is pretty detailed, even naming the marketing manager. After some digging, the only thing online I was able to find was some vague details about the prizes:
"The finalist winners (Kohn and Iván Hervías Rodríguez, Marcos Ochoa and Sergio Pascual in the 15 to 16 age group) all receive a $25,000 scholarship, a Google Chromebook kit donated to their classroom, an assortment of Lego-related gifts, a Google goodie bag, a “prize experience,” and one year of digital access to Scientific American archives for their schools. Wenger, the grand-prize winner, gets a 10-day trip to the Galápagos Archipelago, a $50,000 scholarship, a set of Lego Mindstorms signed by the design team and Lego’s CEO and owner, first pick of prize experiences, and everything else that the finalists receive."
[from Fast Company]
The excerpt above is referring to GSF 2012, but similar lines can be found for GSF 2011 and 2013.
Considering the scope of the fair and the other awards being scholarships and opportunities, these parts are the probably the least interesting thing to the finalists, so if they were actually given out, verifying that would be very difficult. I have tried to contact Mr. Canvin, but have been unsuccessful.
Ultimately, I think the authenticity of these parts is likely, the story lines up pretty well, if anyone wants to continue investigating this topic, that would be awesome! And these parts are still available on bricklink if anyone wants to pick some up, the price is a little high, I was able to work out a discount from the seller and maybe you can too :^) The seller did have some other non-production parts, like a Magenta 44728 and some trans-clear slopes, which I think adds some credibility imo.
I do find lacquered liftarms to be a strange idea, they would probably get worn out really fast if you were to actually use them in a build!
[I am not sure if a 1x9 liftarm was also made]

Okay well technically it’s just regular grass but work with me here. It’s also actually a Civil War site, but again, let’s not be picky.
This panorama is at Harper’s Ferry National Historical Park, but it’s no at the bit everyone goes to. This is the Murphy-Chambers Farm.
While not nearly as visited as the primary site, it does make an excellent walking area with 1-3 miles of mostly flat ground (there are a few ravines if you choose to take them).
Amongst other things here you can see the footprint of the John Brown Fort and a gorgeous vista of the Shenandoah River.
There are also some earthworks since this is where Confederate General A.P. Hill performed his flanking maneuver on the Union forces.
While I like the scale of this image, I did make a basic error in composition which is that I left the horizon close to the middle of the image. I should have either shown less sky and more grass or more sky and less grass.
In my defense it is much harder to compose those elements when taking a series of portrait orientation images to stitch into a landscape panorama.

Finally held an A/B test on my 100 wpc class amplifiers, I can't say this is 100% A/B test since I can't switch speakers and amps while playing the same music, so there were minutes to reconnect to another set up before listen to the same music. I started with three kinds of music (Cover version of "I left my heart in San Francisco", Take Five from The Dave Brubeck Quartet, and Koji Tamaki's "Wine Red no Kokoro"), but end up I only listen to one for a fast comparison.
The first amp is the 2012 Sony STRDH130 receiver bought way before I get back to vintage audio equipment, the second is the 80's Technics SU-V8 and the 70's Mcintosh combo C26+MC2105.
Tested with 2 pairs of speakers, JBL 2600 ( 45 Hz to 23 kHz, 89dB-sensitivity ) and then the SL6si ( 45 Hz to 20 kHz, 84dB-sensitivity ) with same 14 gauge speaker wires, played AIFF music file via computer. Positions of all equipment and my listening spot remain the same during the tests.
The final used music is "Koji Tamaki's Wine Red no Kokoro 玉置浩二 ワインレッドの心 (2002)" track no.2 same as CD title (Wine Red's Heart), acoustic-style music with male vocal, acoustic & electric guitars, percussions, and keyboard. I chose this song for final audition because the vocal and background music could sound a big different when played in different speakers.
