I'd never had a camera that could take 60fps video before... So I decided playing with Oranjello would be a good high-framerate video. Unfortunately at 60fps, the video size is only 320x240, so it's not really worth the extra frames per second.

We got a Canon PowerShot SD400 Digital Elph camera for at a yard sale! It was missing the USB cable, but it worked with the one from our broken Canon PowerShot S330 Digital Elpha camera (which cost 0 in 2001). This camera has amazingly good imaging, and can take pictures in rapid succession soooo much faster than the other 2. It's also our smallest camera. Unfortunately there's only 1 battery.

1940 Siata 500 Sport Spider

Image by Georg Schwalbach (GS1311)
Siata (Societa Italiana Auto Trasformazioni Accessori in English Italian Car Transformation Accessories Company), was an Italian tuning shop turned automaker founded in 1926 by amateur racecar driver Giorgio Ambrosini.

Siata initially sold performance parts to modify and tune cars manufactured by Fiat. After World War II, the company began making its own sports cars under the Siata brand until its eventual bankruptcy following the first Arab oil embargo in the mid 1970s.

Die Società Italiana Applicazioni Trasformazioni Automobilistiche (kurz: Siata) war ein italienischer Automobilhersteller, der eng mit Fiat verbunden war und nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg zahlreiche sportliche Sonderversionen von Fiat-Fahrzeugen herstellte. Das Unternehmen ist vor allem durch das exklusive Sportmodell 208 und den in den späten 1960er-Jahren entstandenen Roadster Siata Spring bekannt.

1920 Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost London-Edinburgh Style (01)
make a picture
Image by Georg Schwalbach (GS1311)
The Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost refers both to a car model and to one specific car from that series.

Originally named the "40/50 h.p." the chassis was originally produced at Royce's Manchester works, before moving to Derby in July 1908 and also, between 1921 and 1926, in Springfield, Massachusetts. Chassis no. 60551, registered AX 201, was the car that was originally given the name "Silver Ghost." Other 40/50 hp cars were also given names but the Silver Ghost title was taken up by the press and soon all 40/50s were called by the name, a fact not officially recognised by Rolls-Royce until 1925 when the Phantom range was launched.

The Silver Ghost was the origin of Rolls-Royce's claim of making the "Best car in the world" – a phrase coined not by themselves, but by the prestigious publication Autocar in 1907.

The chassis and engine were also used as the basis of a range of Rolls-Royce Armoured Cars.

(Wikipedia)

- - -

Das unter der Bezeichnung Rolls-Royce 40/50 hp entwickelte Automobil wurde von 1906 bis 1925 produziert und durch die Phantom-Reihe abgelöst. 1913/1914, nach dem Gewinn eines entsprechenden Wettbewerbes, wurde auch ein Modell mit dem Namen Rolls-Royce Alpine Eagle gefertigt, dessen Motor einen geringfügig größereren Hubraum (121 mm Hub anstatt 120 mm), aber eine geringere Leistung (55 bhp (40 kW) anstatt 65 bhp (48 kW)) hatte.

Vor dem ersten Weltkrieg war der Silver Ghost eines der technisch fortschrittlichsten Autos der Welt, was ihm den Ruf als bestes Auto der Welt einbrachte. Während des Krieges erfolgte keine Weiterentwicklung und der Rückstand auf andere zeitgenössische Konstruktionen wuchs. Schließlich erfolgte 1925 der Ersatz durch den Rolls-Royce Phantom I. 1906 wurde auch von einem britischen Automobiljournalisten erstmals die Wortschöpfung der Waftability diesem Fahrzeug zugeschrieben. Diese Wortschöpfung von damals prägt die Rolls-Royce-Fahrzeuge bis heute als Alleinstellungsmerkmal.

Modelle vom Typ Silver Ghost hatten unter anderem in folgenden Filmen Auftritte: Lichter der Großstadt (1931), Rebecca (1940), Citizen Kane (1941), Giganten (1956), Lawrence von Arabien (1962), Die tollkühnen Männer in ihren fliegenden Kisten (1965) und Frankenstein Junior (1974).

Maine Coon - Chimsky - Creative Commons by gnuckx
photo galleries
Image by gnuckx
The Maine Coon is a breed of domestic cat well known for its distinctive physical appearance. It is one of the oldest natural breeds in North America, specifically native to the state of Maine, where it is the official State Cat.

Although the Maine Coon’s exact origins and date of introduction to the United States are unknown, many theories have been proposed. The breed was popular in cat shows in the late 1800s, but its existence became threatened when long-haired breeds from overseas were introduced in the early 20th century. The Maine Coon has since made a comeback and is now the second most popular cat breed in North America, according to the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA).

The Maine Coon is generally noted for its large bone structure, its rectangular body shape, and a long, flowing coat. The breed can be seen in a variety of colors and are known for their intelligence and gentle personalities. Health problems, such as feline hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and hip dysplasia, are seen in the breed, but testing is available to detect the genes responsible for causing these abnormalities

Origin

The ancestral origins of the Maine Coon are unknown. There are only theories and folktales. One such folktale involves Marie Antoinette, the Queen of France, who was executed in 1793. Before her death, Antoinette attempted to escape France with the help of Captain Samuel Clough. She loaded Clough’s ship with her most prized possessions, including six of her favorite long-haired cats. Although Antoinette did not make it to the United States, her pets safely reached the shores of Wiscasset, Maine, where they mated with short-haired breeds and evolved into the modern breed of the Maine Coon.
The face of a Maine Coon

Another folktale involves Captain Charles Coon, an English seafarer who kept long-haired cats aboard his ships. Whenever Coon’s ship would anchor in the New England ports, the felines would exit the ship and mate with the local feral cat population. When long-haired kittens began appearing in the litters of the local cat population, they were referred to as one of “Coon’s cats”.

A theory which is biologically-based, though genetically impossible, is the idea that the modern Maine Coon descended from ancestors of semi-feral domestic cats and raccoons. This could have possibly explained the most common color of the breed (brown tabby) and the bushy tail, which is a characteristic trait. Another idea is that the Maine Coon originated between the matings of domestic cats and wild bobcats, which could explain the tufts of hairs that are so commonly seen on the tips of the ears. There have been reports of domestic cats breeding with bobcats.

The generally-accepted theory among breeders is that the Maine Coon is descended from the pairings of local short-haired domestic cats and long-haired breeds brought overseas by English seafarers (possibly by Captain Charles Coon) or 11th-century Vikings. The connection to the Vikings is seen in the strong resemblance of the Maine Coon to the Norwegian Forest Cat, another breed that is said to be a descendant of cats that traveled with the Vikings.

Mi Maine Coon

Es la primera raza que se desarrolló en Estados Unidos. El nombre proviene de la creencia de los colonizadores de que era el resultado del cruce de un mapache y un gato, cosa imposible.

Su pelaje es tupido, lanoso, resistente a los rigores climáticos, con la piel cubierta por un lustroso pelaje exterior más abundante, con el que soporta el invierno. Generalmente se cuida solo.

Esta raza posee una disposición afable y se lo reconoce en una amplia gama de colores y patrones. El color de los ojos no tiene que hacer juego con el pelaje. También se caracteriza por ser de gran longitud. Se cree que era una mezcla de los gatos de la realeza francesa.

Il mio Maine Coon

Il Maine Coon è una delle più antiche razze naturali del Nord America, tanto da essere considerato generalmente come nativo dello stato del Maine, di cui è il gatto ufficiale. Il suo nome deriva da Maine, lo stato della Nuova Inghilterra in cui veniva avvistato, e da Raccoon, orsetto lavatore in inglese, per via della sua coda molto simile a quella di un procione. Molteplici sono le leggende che circondano l’origine di questo particolare gatto. La più diffusa all’inizio del secolo narrava che per le grandi e pelose orecchie provviste di ciuffi e la coda grossa e inanellata, il Maine Coon fosse il risultato di un incrocio tra una lince e un orsetto lavatore. L’ipotesi, ovviamente assurda, ha comunque contribuito ad alimentare le numerose storie che si tramandano su questa razza. C’è anche chi a tutti i costi ha voluto conferire un’aura regale a questo gatto “rustico”, facendolo addirittura discendere da sei gatti d’Angora che la regina Maria Antonietta, durante la Rivoluzione Francese, avrebbe messo in salvo inviandoli a Wiscasset, nello Stato Americano del Maine. Le origini del Maine Coon hanno creato così tantissime leggende e congetture, nessuna delle quali può essere provata. La teoria più probabile, anche se la meno pittoresca, indicherebbe il Maine Coon come il risultato di un incrocio tra gatti selvatici a pelo corto del continente nordamericano e gatti a pelo lungo d’oltremare. Secondo alcuni infatti, il Maine Coon avrebbe antenati tra i gatti nordici, i progenitori del Norvegese delle Foreste, arrivati in America del Nord nell’anno mille in seguito agli sbarchi dei Vichinghi sulle Isole di Terranova. Secondo altri invece, l’origine del Maine Coon risalirebbe al periodo della colonizzazione quando le navi dei coloni provenienti da tutto il mondo attraccavano sulle coste americane del Nord-est portando al seguito dei gatti per far strage di topi. Erano gatti d’ogni risma, che i marinai dell’epoca apprezzavano più o meno a seconda della loro maggiore o minore capacità di cacciare topi piuttosto che per la loro maggiore o minore bellezza. È però assai probabile che, fra quei “gatti”, tutti uguali e tutti diversi, ci fosse anche qualche antenato degli attuali gatti d’America. La prima segnalazione ufficiale di un Maine Coon, risale al 1861 con una menzione da parte della signora Pierce di un gatto bianco e nero chiamato “Captain Jenks of the Horse Marines”. In Italia il Maine Coon compare solo nel 1986 su un mensile del settore, da allora la diffusione della razza è in continua espansione e i Maine Coon sono ormai protagonisti di successo nelle esposizioni feline.

Mi Maine Coon

Deuxième race féline des États-Unis, et dont la popularité ne cesse de croître à travers le monde, le maine coon est un chat robuste et rustique, façonné par le dur climat de l’État du Maine, sur la côte est des États-Unis. Il est probablement l’une des plus anciennes races naturelles nord-américaine,.

Plusieurs légendes décrivent les origines de la race. La plus répandue raconte que le maine coon est le fruit d’un croisement entre des chats et des ratons laveurs (raccoon en anglais), ce qui expliquerait leur couleur (la plus répandue est le brown tabby) et leur queue très touffue. Bien sûr, il est génétiquement impossible de réaliser un tel croisement mais la race gardera de cette légende son nom. La deuxième avance que ce sont des descendants des six chats angoras envoyés par Marie-Antoinette d’Autriche alors qu’elle préparait une fuite pour échapper à la révolution française. Ces angoras auraient été amenés sur le bateau le Sally du capitaine Samuel Clough de Wiscasset avec les autres effets personnels de la reine. Les angoras se seraient ensuite mêlés aux chats de ferme locaux pour donner naissance au maine coon.

Une autre théorie, un peu moins extravagante celle-ci, avance que la race s’est développée à partir de croisements entre des chats de ferme locaux et d’autres chats à poils longs ou mi-longs importés d’abord par les Vikings aux alentours de l’an 1000. Le maine Coon descendrait alors du chat des forêts norvégiennes, ce qui expliquerait leur ressemblance. Cette hypothèse est appuyée par la ressemblance entre turc de van, sibériens, norvégiens et enfin maine coons dont les origines géographiques correspondent aux déplacements des vikings. Cette ressemblance avec le norvégien peut aussi s’expliquer par le fait que le climat hivernal de la Nouvelle-Angleterre et de la Norvège sont identiques et auraient donc conduits à développer les mêmes spécificités.
Cosey, la première maine coon vainqueur en 1885 à New York

C’est en tout cas ce qu’affirmait Mme Pierce, une des premières propriétaires de maine coon qui avait à l’époque effectué des recherches approfondies sur les origines de la race. Elle avait effectivement trouvé que ces chats étaient arrivés sur les côtes du Maine par la mer, mais pas grâce aux Vikings. Ce serait plutôt par les riches familles du Maine qui possédaient alors de luxueux bateaux et voyageaient beaucoup. Ils auraient ramenés de leurs expéditions de nombreux animaux de compagnie exotiques, notamment pour amuser les enfants. La deuxième hypothèse de Mme Pierce était que des chats angoras furent embarqués à bord des bateaux marchands pour chasser les rats. Dans les deux cas, ils auraient débarqués sur la Côte Est et se seraient mélangés aux chats locaux à poils courts et le brassage aurait donnés le chat à poils mi-long que nous connaissons.

Une autre possibilité est qu’ils aient été importés par les immigrants européens et aient su s’adapter aux conditions de vie et au climat difficile de la région.

En 1860, les fermiers du Maine, très fiers de leurs chats organisaient leurs propres expositions pour élire le champion. Le premier maine coon cité dans la littérature est un mâle noir et blanc nommé Captain Jencks qui appartenait à Mme Pierce. Cela remonte à 1861. Un peu plus tard, en 1895, ce chat de grande taille fit sensation au Madison Square Garden. C’est d’ailleurs une femelle maine coon nommée Cosey qui remporta le concours. En 1897, c’était une douzaine de maine coons qui participaient à une exposition à Boston. Au début du XXe siècle, la popularité de la race dépasse la Côte Est et atteint la Côte Ouest des États-Unis. Puis peu à peu, elle tombe dans l’oubli puisque jusqu’en 1950 la mode est aux persans et aux siamois, laissant de côté le géant américain. A la fin des années 40, on le déclare même un peu vite disparu. Pour que le maine coon retrouve sa popularité, deux éleveurs fondent le Central maine coon cat club en 1953. Trois ans plus tard, ce club écrit également le premier standard de la race. Les efforts paient puisqu’en 1960, la race a retrouvé sa popularité d’antan.

La race est officiellement reconnue depuis 1967 par l’American Cat Fanciers Association et la Canadian cat association. La CFA tarde à reconnaître la race qu’elle refuse à plusieurs reprises entre 1969 et 1972. Il aura fallut attendre 1973 pour que la fédération reconnaisse la race de façon provisoire et 1976 pour une reconnaissance définitive. Entre temps, en 1972, les différents standards existants sont harmonisés au niveau national.

L’importation du maine coon en France date de 1981 mais la race ne prend son essor qu’au début des années 90 et c’est également à cette époque que l’Allemagne la découvre. La FIFé reconnaît la race en 1983 et le GCCF anglais en 1986.

Sweet, Sweet Galaxy by Pip & Pop
photo show

Smiths Row, The Market Cross, Cornhill, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk IP33 1BT
Tel: +44 (0) 1284 762081

We are happy to welcome Australian artists Tanya Schultz, Nicole Andrijevic and John Kassab to Smiths Row in what is their first major British show. Schultz and Andrijevic have worked in collaboration since 2007 using the alias Pip & Pop and this is their second collaboration with sound artist Kassab.

Sweet sweet galaxy is a unique installation depicting an infinite psychedelic landscape. An amalgamation of numerous materials including coloured sugar, fine sand, cake decorations, origami, found objects, LED lights and sound, this colourful sensory kingdom will be constructed directly in the gallery space in early January.

The soundscape, created in collaboration with Melbourne-based John Kassab, adds another layer of immersion to the audience experience and sense of being transported to a faraway or imagined place. Whilst the soundscape adds to the narrative of the imagined landscape, interpreting the sounds with sugar has been central to Pip & Pop's process when working with John.

The sugar used in this exhibition has been kindly donated by Silverspoon. As the sole producers of homegrown British sugar the company supports 1200 East Anglian beet farmers. According to Dan Gough of Silverspoon: "the sugar used in this exhibition was grown an average of 30 miles away from the gallery".

The Bald Eagle is the national bird of the United States of America. It is one of the country's most recognizable symbols, and appears on most of its official seals, including the Seal of the President of the United States.

The Continental Congress adopted the current design for the Great Seal of the United States including a Bald Eagle grasping thirteen arrows and a thirteen-leaf olive branch with its talons on June 20, 1782.

After the end of the Revolutionary War, Benjamin Franklin wrote a famous letter from Paris in 1784, to his daughter, criticizing the choice and suggesting the Wild Turkey as a better representative of American qualities. He described the Bald Eagle as "a Bird of bad moral character," who, "too lazy to fish for himself" survived by robbing the Osprey. He called the Bald Eagle "a rank Coward" easily driven from a perch by the much smaller kingbird. In the letter, Franklin wrote the Turkey is, "a much more respectable Bird," which he described as "a little vain & silly [but] a Bird of Courage."

The Bald Eagle remained the emblem of the United States. It can be found on both national seals and on the back of several coins (including the quarter dollar coin until 1999), with its head oriented towards the olive branch. Between 1916 and 1945, the Presidential Flag showed an eagle facing to its left (the viewer's right), which gave rise to the urban legend that the seal is changed to have the eagle face towards the olive branch in peace, and towards the arrows in wartime.

Being born too small is one of the main reasons babies end up in the survival unit and can die.

With more than 40,000 newborn babies dying in their first month, getting the right nutrition before and after babies are born is crucial.

Mums can find out the latest advice including what best to feed their babies and young children from the health information wall in the heart of the village called 'Swasthya Kantha' and from their community health workers.

Anuncios Publicitarios de los años 40+

Hoy deseo regresarte a una época en la que la publicidad era realmente otra cosa. La tipografía, los colores, las imágenes, formas, texturas y el formato nada o poco tienen que ver con lo que muchos conocemos ahora por diseño gráfico.-
Te invito pues a regresar a los 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s y 80s a través de
«estos anuncios publicitarios» que a mi parecer estaban muy, pero muy bien elaborados.-
De hecho y como diseñador gráfico, he venido vaticinando desde algunos meses que es muy probable que retomemos parte importante de aquellos estilos gráficos para aplicarlos en nuestras propuestas comerciales de ahora.-

En este «otro enlace» podemos admirar una basta galería de anuncios publicitarios que en los Estados Unidos fueron publicados también por esas mismas fechas y que hacen referencia a portadas de revistas y marcas comerciales de bebidas, alimentos y autos.-
Sinceramente fue para mi -como espero que sea para ti- una grata experiencia el recordar a través de estas imágenes una época en la que el diseño gráfico simplemente era otra cosa.-
