Off Reading ...
Beklager for spotty udstationering! Jeg har tre grunde til det:
- Jeg starter en ny blog om asiatisk pop kultur. Det bør være op i oktober.
- økonomiens i karret, så jeg shopping konservativt. Min falder shopping liste består af en blå cardigan, støvler, og sorte slacks - nødvendige bits, men intet værd blogging. Det er ikke kun mig: kriser motivere folk til at begrænse deres udgifter til godt-gjort basics. The Observer har en dejlig artikel om denne fænomen, som de har mærket "den langsomme måde bevægelighed."
- Jeg læser reelle bøger igen (dvs. ikke kun blogs og manga *). Nedenfor er ti titler værd at se i (note til feed-læsere, er det en newfangled Amazon widget, så du kan blive nødt til at klikke sig igennem):
* Er der nogen ønsker manga anbefalinger? Trods de tegneserier boom , mellemlang stadig marginaliserede i USA , Så jeg er ikke sikker på, hvor mange af jer er interesseret i tegneserier eller manga i særdeleshed. Jeg elsker de ting.

Super SCARA, forbedret æstetik, udvider vifte af robotter

TM Robotics (Europe) Ltd har lanceret en ny Toshiba Machine SCARA robot i det britiske og europæiske markeder. Kaldes TH250A, det giver forbedret hastighed i forhold til eksisterende robotter i området, leverer hurtigere cyklen gange nærstående til en høj grad af nøjagtighed. Robotten er baseret på en tidligere SCARA, Toshiba Machine TH250 og erstatter det i området. Men den nye, mere omkostningseffektive, model udgør en væsentlig visuel forbedring sammenlignet med den gamle version.
Den robot vil finde anvendelser i den generelle fremstillingsindustri samt i elektronik, plast, emballage, farmaceutiske, automobil-komponent håndtering og mad. Anvendelser kan omfatte test og montage og markedsføring små komponenter, sekundær emballage eller laboratorium håndtering. Den nye SCARA funktioner absolutte indkodere som standard, udlevering med behovet for et hjem tilbagevenden funktion, en nyttelast på op til 3 kg og repeterbarhed på + /-0.01mm.
? Den TH250A repræsenterer en triumf for produktdesign ,? forklaret Nigel Smith, administrerende direktør for TM Robotics. ? ?tetisk det? S overlegen i forhold til noget, der findes på markedet. Mens dette kan synes ubetydelige, enkelt og rent design kan gøre en robot synes lettere at bruge og mindre skræmmende. Vores målsætning er at tilskynde virksomheder, som måske endnu ikke har overvejet robot automatisering til at gøre det nu. Da denne robot allerede tilbyder forbedret funktionalitet og mere konkurrencedygtig prissætning, den styrkede udseende er et yderligere skridt mod dette mål.?
Den TH250A har en indbygget funktion i PLC, der, uanset robot drift og program, kan kontrol I/O-udstyr. Det kan programmeres ved hjælp af en stige sekvens program, og som en mulighed, kan funktionen DeviceNet eller Profi-Bus. En yderligere mulighed er at Toshiba Machine undervise vedhæng, en ekstern skifte pad, der kan bruges til direkte robotten gennem en sekvens af bevægelser.
Den Toshiba Machine robot vifte vil nu udvide fra TH-250A, som har en arm længde på 250mm, gennem den generelle formål SCARAs med arm længder mellem 450mm og 1050mm, op til de store palletransporten SCARA med en 1950mm rækkevidde og en nyttelast på op til 70kgs.

The Merry Widow theatre tickets, Budapest Operetta Theatre, Budapest

Hanna Glavari, a wealthy widowmeets her old flame, Danilo Danilovich after many years. They both have changed and she is now suspicious and tough, while he has become cynical and a partygoer. Failures of the past and insults in the present stop these two people meant for each to find their way to each other. Theirs is a story which takes long to be born and re-born and in whose background a small Southern-European country's politicians are struggling for their own and their homeland's survival in the times of economical crisis.
The Merry Widow's music and story are filled with passion suppressed, then exploding. This might be the reason why it has such an elementary effect on players and spectators alike.
The operetta was first presented in Vienna in 1905 and in Budapest in 1906- both times with great success. Then it started to conquer the world and it continues to be played everywhere on operetta and opera stages alike. They say there is no evening without The Merry Widow somewhere on programme...
After a few years interval The Merry Widow is presented again in Budapest in a new production with a new cast and ever soyoung. Give her a hearty welcome.
Performance Info
Running Time: 2 hours 55 minutes with 1 interval.
Customers must exchange their voucher at the box office at least 30 minutes prior to the performance.

More of the Man
Will you look at that? Fanciness for the Buk. We've got broadsides. I've got five with your name on them . Some of you are already rather adept at writing CruelestMonthPoetry@yahoo.com (for which I am extremely grateful) but for anyone new to the game , to receive a broadside be one of the first five readers to email me with the subject heading "Buduku Broadside" and with your mailing address in the body of the message. So here's what I'm talking about:

The Angels Above heard my pleas...
I had to gasp and squeal a little when I got this bit of news through on my Blackberry last night on my 43 bus journey home. There is just no words to describe it and I'd rather it get to the point so I'll just copy and paste it word for word....
- Vintage and retro fashion items from the 1930s to the present day will be for sale at bargain prices in the Angels Big Vintage Clothing Sale at its Wembley warehouse on Saturday 6th December.
- Angels? stock has been expanded by the acquisition of the BBC Resources Costumes earlier in 2008, leading to both pressure on space and so a sale is necessary.
- Over 30,000 items of vintage clothing, accessories and jewellery will be available
- It is the first time in Angels? 160-year history that stock will be sold directly to the public.
- Angels is the world?s longest-established supplier of costumes to the film, theatre, and television industries. Top fashion houses regularly use the Angels costume collection ? the largest in Europe with over 5 million pieces ? as inspiration for their own collections.
- Stock will be priced not individually but by bag, with entrance gained by buying an empty bag that can be filled at will. A medium-sized bag costs �10 with a ?supersize? bag also available for �20. A separately-sized bag will be available for costume jewellery, priced at �20. Customers are welcome to purchase as many bags as they wish.
- Examples of productions whose costumes feature in the Big Vintage Clothing Sale include Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Absolutely Fabulous, Ashes to Ashes, The House Of Eliott, Dad?s Army, Last of the Summer Wine and Dr Who.
- Designer items available at the sale will include pieces by designers including BIBA, Quorum, YSL, Bus Stop, Jaques Azagury, and Jean Muir.
I can't quite take all this information in and in addition the You Tube videos they have produced have wet my appetite even more.
I therefore propose that to all those who will be in town and available on the 6th December - let's somehow get together and storm into this sale with an intention to buy and fill those bags up with goodies... details to be confirmed but let's see what damage the London contingent of this blog's readership can do. There will be a sale preview next week... will report back of course...
I don't usually like to gloat...but on this day I'm bloody glad I live in London...

Immigration Poster Project a HUGE Success!
?We need strong pro-immigrant and migrant art to confront the multitude of images of disempowerment given to us by our daily media.?
The Taller Tupac Amaru set out to meet this need by enlisting the help of artists, art enthusiasts and movement supporters this May 2008. Jesus Barraza, Melanie Cervantes, Dylan Miner and Artemio Rodriguez, under the leadership of fellow artist Favianna Rodriguez, set out to produce of FIVE empowering posters for the international immigrant rights movement. This type of collaboration and support given by a vast network of people was crucial in order to place 10,000 posters into the hands of hundreds immigrant right activists around the globe, and the thousands of people they help organize.
A historic gathering took place in this past May 2008 in Mexico City, and brought together over 300 migrant leaders from the United States, Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America to form a global association of remitters and their families. The event helped consolidate remitters? economic and political power and gave them the space to define an agenda for the sustainable economic development of migrant communities. The conference was convened by TIGRA (Transnational Institute for Grassroots Research and Action).
YES! Posters are crucial for today?s immigrant rights movement!
We printed EACH poster in a run of 2000 via offset and freely distributed them to the organizations attending the gathering. The posters will reach cities around the globe, so that we may introduce new and inspiring concepts about what it means to be an immigrant in the 21st century.
We forged partnerships with over 20 individual donors whose generosity made this project possible. This ambitious project was advanced by the collective power, action and love of many, many people all of whom are part of the immigrant rights movement.
There has never been a movement for social change without the arts ? posters in particular ? being central to that movement. Protest posters flaunt their politics and court discussion. They can deepen compassion and commitment, ignite outrage, elicit laughter, and provoke action. The power of the poster is that it is produced in multiples, and therefore can be easily distributed for all to see.
Posters are available for sale and distribution at a cost of $30 per set. Please download this information packet for pricing.
