The text is the first 69 lines of Book VI of Ovid's Metamorphoses, the story of Athena and Arachne. Which does not turn out well for the impious.

The Waite Agricultural Research Institute was erected in 1924. You can see that motto in the triangular pediment above the main entrance of Waite Building. The planting of the nearby Waite Arboretum began in 1928 and it now has over 800 tree species from 200 genera planted in it. The University of Adelaide began offering degrees in agriculture in the early 20th century but the Faculty of Agriculture was not established until 1925 when the Waite Agricultural Research Institute began operations. The Institute’s first director was Professor A.E Richardson a graduate of Roseworthy Agricultural College near Wasleys.
Peter Waite Urrbrae House.
Peter Waite 1834 to 1922 was a leading pastoralist and philanthropist in 19th and 20th century South Australia. He arrived in Melbourne from Scotland in 1859 and immediately travelled overland to Adelaide to join his brother in a pastoral lease near Terowie named Pandappa Station. Then in 1862 Peter Waite took over Paratoo Station in partnership with Thomas Elder. After his brother died he took over Pandappa in his own right and eventually Paratoo Station as well. In 1864 he built a new homestead on Paratoo and bought out his fiancé from Scotland so that they could marry. They settled down at Paratoo during the devastating drought of 1864 to 1865. Waite survived the drought well as he had pastured 12,000 sheep at Penola in the South East during the drought. He progressed with further partnerships with Thomas Elder (later Sir Thomas Elder) including Beltana, Cordilla Downs, Murnpeowie stations etc.
From 1870 his family spent their summers at Glenelg until they purchased a 100 acre property on the corner of Cross and Fullarton roads in 1875 with Thomas Elder. It included a single storey house built in 1846 named Urrbrae by another Scot. The Waite family took possession of the property in 1877 as their main residence and they owned it by 1882. On a trip back to Scotland furnishings, porcelain, silverware and furniture were bought for the old Urrbrae House. Then in 1885 they decided to build a new residence and demolish the old one. The family travelled overseas in 1889 and took up residence in London for several years during construction of the two storey house. The architects of their new house were C.H.Marryat and E. J. Woods. The Waites returned in 1891 and occupied the new Urrbrae House not long after that. Although Peter and Mathilda Waite had eight children including three sons only one son married and produced any heirs to the massive Peter Waite estate. But that son had no links to South Australia and lived in England. The son who lived in South Australia died in an unfortunate accident in 1913. Three of his adult daughters had never married and were unlikely to do so. After the tragic accidental death of his son David, Peter Waite decided to donate much of his fortune to education in South Australia. In that year he wrote the Chancellor of the University of Adelaide informing him that he intended leaving Urrbrae House and its 100 acres of city land for university agricultural studies. At the same time he wrote to the Premier of South Australia informing him that he intended leaving 90 acres to the government for an agricultural high school on land he was about to purchase. In his letter Peter Waite wrote: “....our agriculturists and pastoralists....have…. with little scientific training.. ..placed our wheat, wool and fruits in the highest estimate of the world; our sheep have been brought to such perfection that they are sought after not only by all the sister states but by South Africa. Our agricultural machinery has been found good enough even for the Americans to copy…” In 1915 Peter Waite acquired more land adjoining Urrbrae House and donated a further 130 acres to the University of Adelaide. That land is now the Waite Agricultural Campus of the University of Adelaide and the land west of Cross Road is Urrbrae Agricultural High School and Unley High School. Peter Waite died at his holiday house called Davaar at Victor Harbor in April 1922. Martha Waite died at Urrbrae House in November of that same year. Both were buried in the family plot in the Anglican cemetery at Mitcham.

The last time I attempted to visit this strange building it was closed. But on this occasion I was more successful. It is owned by English Heritage.
This rather odd triangular building was designed by Sir Thomas Tresham (father of one of the Gunpowder Plotters) and constructed between 1593 and 1597. Like Lyveden New Bield, it is a testament to Tresham’s Roman Catholicism. The number three, symbolising the Holy Trinity, is apparent everywhere. There are three floors, trefoil windows and three triangular gables on each side. On the entrance front is the inscription ‘Tres Testimonium Dant’ (‘there are three that give witness’), a Biblical quotation from St John’s Gospel referring to the Trinity. It is also a pun on Tresham’s name; his wife called him ‘Good Tres’ in her letters.
Testing a pair of triangular rollers by placing a board and a coffee mug on them and pushing the board sideways. Blending multiple exposures illustrates the resulting motion.
A curve of constant width is a two-dimensional shape whose width, as measured with calipers, is the same, regardless of the orientation of the curve relative to the calipers. You can extrude such a curve into a three-dimensional roller that will have a constant height as you roll it around on a flat surface. A board supported by a pair of such rollers will move horizontally without any up and down motion. A circle is a curve of constant width, but it's not the only one; there are many others. A Reuleaux triangle (an equilateral triangle where each side is a circular arc centered on the opposite corner) also has constant width, and you can use it as the basis for rollers that look like they shouldn’t work at all. Inspired by my daughter's high school project I made an example out of wood.
Challenge #227 Triangular Composition

"Bradford City Hall is a 19th-century town hall in Centenary Square, Bradford, West Yorkshire, England. It is notable for its landmark bell/clock tower and is a Grade I listed building.
Before its relocation, between 1847 and 1872, the town hall had been the Fire Station House in Swain Street. In 1869, a new triangular site was purchased, and a competition held for a design to rival the town halls of Leeds and Halifax. The local firm of Lockwood and Mawson was chosen over the other 31 entries. It was built by John Ives & Son of Shipley and took three years to build at a cost of £100,000. It was opened by Matthew Thompson, the mayor, on 9 September 1873.
It was first extended in 1909 to a design by Norman Shaw and executed by architect F.E.P. Edwards, with another council chamber, more committee rooms and a banqueting hall.
On 14 March 1912 Winston Churchill gave a speech outside the hall in which he called for the people to "go forward together and put these grave matters to the proof". It was extended again with a new entrance and staircase in baroque marble by William Williamson in 1914.
In 1965 the name was changed to City Hall to reflect Bradford's prominence, and the building was improved at a cost of £12,000. After the bells stopped in 1992 due to decay of the bell frame, they were repaired with National Lottery funds in 1997.
In 2000, Barbara Jane Harrison was commemorated in a memorial display in the City Hall and in October 2006, the building was illuminated for Bradford Festival by artist Patrice Warrener. In 2007 the City Hall filled in for Manchester Crown Court for the duration of the trial of Tracy Barlow in Coronation Street.
In December 2007 the City Hall turned the city's nine Christmas trees into woodchips as fuel for its new heating boilers. An access tunnel was dug from the roadway to install the boilers in early 2008.
Bradford /ˈbrædfərd/ is a city in West Yorkshire, England, in the foothills of the Pennines, 8.6 miles (14 km) west of Leeds, and 16 miles (26 km) north-west of Wakefield. Bradford became a municipal borough in 1847, and received its charter as a city in 1897. Following local government reform in 1974, city status was bestowed upon the City of Bradford metropolitan borough.
Bradford forms part of the West Yorkshire Urban Area, which in 2001 had a population of 1.5 million and is the fourth largest in the United Kingdom. Bradford itself has a population of 529,870, which makes it the seventh-largest city in the United Kingdom and the third-largest city in Yorkshire and the Humber after Leeds and Sheffield.
Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, Bradford rose to prominence in the 19th century as an international centre of textile manufacture, particularly wool. It was a boomtown of the Industrial Revolution, and amongst the earliest industrialised settlements, rapidly becoming the "wool capital of the world". The area's access to a supply of coal, iron ore and soft water facilitated the growth of Bradford's manufacturing base, which, as textile manufacture grew, led to an explosion in population and was a stimulus to civic investment; Bradford has a large amount of listed Victorian architecture including the grand Italianate City Hall.
The textile sector in Bradford fell into decline from the mid-20th century. Bradford has since emerged as a tourist destination, becoming the first UNESCO City of Film with attractions such as the National Science and Media Museum, Bradford City Park, the Alhambra theatre and Cartwright Hall. Bradford has faced similar challenges to the rest of post-industrial Northern England, including deindustrialisation, social unrest and economic deprivation." - info from Wikipedia.
Summer 2019 I did a solo cycling tour across Europe through 12 countries over the course of 3 months. I began my adventure in Edinburgh, Scotland and finished in Florence, Italy cycling 8,816 km. During my trip I took 47,000 photos.

Ten Equatorially Diminished Triangular Dipyramids (Aaron P) - In Hand
I made this model just before I left for sleepaway camp in June, but did not have time to post it until now. Although this model only requires 30 units, the double axes make it very impressive to look at and one of my favorites in my growing collection.
