Philly decided to make their fleet of recycling trucks more noticeable, to promote the program.



The city already had a bunch of kids involved in the Mural Arts Program, so they hooked them up with the The Design Center at Philadelphia University's collection of 19th & early 20th century textile designs.
Shazam, next time somebody gets run over by one of these, the news footage will make the city look much nicer.

The shape of an airplane wing forces air over the top to travel faster, which causes lower pressure and cooler temperatures. In the right conditions, the cooling causes the air to shed water, and when the Sun is at the right angle, iridescence. Other features of the aircraft, like cockpits, will cause condensation also. ]]> Image of the Day xoxoxoBruce http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=23474 Aug 31, 2010: Old New Arm http://cellar.org/showthread.php?t=23468&goto=newpost Tue, 31 Aug 2010 03:53:06 GMT This artificial left arm, which are now called prostheses so they can charge more, was made in Europe sometime in the second half of the 1800s.

This artificial left arm, which are now called prostheses so they can charge more, was made in Europe sometime in the second half of the 1800s.



Quote:
Made from steel and brass, this unusual prosthetic arm articulates in a number of ways. The elbow joint can be moved by releasing a spring, whereas the top joint of the wrist allows a degree of rotation and an up-and-down motion. The fingers can also curl up and straighten out. The leather upper arm piece is used to fix the prosthesis to the remaining upper arm. The rather sinister appearance of the hand suggests the wearer may have disguised it with a glove. Among the most common causes of amputation throughout the 1800s were injuries received as a result of warfare.
Realistically, the last 100+ years haven't advanced this sort of thing all that much.
Fortunately the things coming out of R&D right now make the future look much brighter.

Several people saw this bear, unable to eat or drink, wandering around Lambert Island up in Thunder bay. Of course everyone wanted to help the poor bear, but Canadians are smart enough to know that's a good way to get dead. The wildlife people tried to trap him but he's too smart.



After chasing him all over the place, they found a scratched up jar with a clump of fur near where he was last reported. He hasn't been spotted since, and they're pretty sure he freed himself.

So this is just a freak case of a bear being harmed by poorly discarded trash?
Sadly no, it happened again two weeks later in Florida. :(

It's not whittling, it's a little like carving, but like nothing you've seen before.

This is made from one piece of wood... even the rubber bans, and the box.



The price is $25,000, which isn't too bad considering what it takes to produce.

Look at how it's done...



Even if I had the patience to carve it, I couldn't do the painting. :dunce:

Kind of a hairy lifeguard, but this is Italy after all.

Quote:
These incredible dogs function as a kind of Canine Coast Guard off the shores of Italy, where beaches gets crowded in the summer, and thousands of swimmers need rescuing. Here, dogs from the Scuola Italiana Cani Salvataggio (Italian School of Canine Lifeguards) practice a rescue operation. The dog pulling his friends does this in real life with rescued humans aboard.

This wonderful termite pavilion, a walk-in structure made of wood measuring six square meters, will allow you an insight in to the world of termite’s mound. The pavilion, based in London Zoo is based on the work of the Termes project. Based in Namibia this group of international experts scanned termite mounds and created the first 3D images of the inside of a termite’s domicile.


Quote:
You may have seen their work in various documentaries, including the Life in the Undergrowth series voiced by Sir David Attenborough. The termite pavilion takes a section of the scan and scaled it up – to an extent that we can now explore it for ourselves. It is made of cross laminated timber and was sustainably sourced from Austrian spruce.
I'm sure the termites would love that pile of wood. :yesnod:

Stubborn, grumpy Piwi
Wildlife vet Dr Lisa Argilla said Piwi didn't take to the treadmill naturally, and would be grumpy when woken for his workout three times a week.
"He was particularly stubborn in true kiwi form, and just sat there [as if saying] I'm not going to do this.
"He'd bite carer's hands when he got fed up with walking. But he's quite a tolerant little guy," she said.
Piwi endured 10 minutes on the treadmill every few days to strengthen his legs, as well as having physiotherapy with regular massage.
