The Real Thing - By Night

As casas de Shirakawa-go se chamam gasso-zukuri, são feitas de madeira e tem telhados enormes feitos de um tipo de folha larga e bem comprida. Essas casas foram utilizadas para a produção de seda, as famílias viviam no andar térreo e os dois ou três pisos do sótão eram usados para criação do bicho da seda e produção de fios. As casas são patrimônio histórico e cultural mundial, apenas 50 delas ainda estão de pé. Para trocar um telhado destes, 200 pessoas trabalham por dois dias, prendendo as folhas na estrutura de madeira com cordas.

This was the first tank to be manufactured at the Kharkiv Locomotive Plant in 1929. The required documentation was developed by the tank design team headed by Ivan N. Aleksenko building on the technical project of the 1-12-32 tank developed by the design bureau of the Ordinance Arsenal Trust. A single specimen of the vehicle was manufactured and subjected to trials. The trials showed clearly that there were major drawbacks in the design of the power pack, transmission and running gear. The tank was never accepted for service. - morozov.com




 
Esta foi a primeira tentativa de produzir um veículo de combate na Kharkiv Locomotive Plant, uma fábrica de locomotivas soviética, em 1929. Seu projeto e desenvolvimento foi encabeçado por uma equipe comandada por Ivan N. Aleksenko, trabalhando sobre o projeto técnico de outro tanque, o 1-12-32 . apenas um tanque t-12 foi construído e posto à prova. Os testes mostraram claramente que houve grandes erros de projeto na transmissão, na energia necessária e nos rolamentos das esteiras. O tanque T-12 nunca foi aprovado para combate. - morozov.com

Kinkaku ji Japanese Temple - by Kids Net - Templo Japonês

The Real Thing

Kinkaku-ji, or Temple of the Golden Pavilion, also known as Rokuon-ji (Deer Garden Temple), is a Zen Buddhist temple in Kyoto, Japan. The garden complex is an excellent example of Muromachi period garden design. It is designated as a National Special Historic Site and a National Special Landscape, and it is one of 17 locations comprising the Historic Monuments of Ancient Kyoto World Heritage Site. It is also one of the most popular buildings in Japan, attracting a large number of visitors annually. It has also been made widely familiar as being featured in a photograph in the desktop picture art of Apple's OS X computer operating system, labeled simply as "Golden Palace". - Wikipedia



O Kinkaku-ji, ou Templo do Pavilhão Dourado, é o nome dado ao templo Rokuon-ji, situado na cidade de Quioto no Japão e rodeado pelo Kyōko-chi (lago espelhado). Todo o pavilhão, exceto andar térreo, está coberto de folha de ouro puro e no telhado do pavilhão está uma fenghuang dourada (fénix chinesa).
O local onde o Pavilhão Dourado (designado formalmente por 'Shariden') se situa foi usado por volta de 1220 como local de descanso para Kintsune Saionji, mas o pavilhão em si só foi construído em 1397, para servir como local de descanso para o shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga. O seu filho foi o responsável pela conversão num templo Zen de orientação Rinzai. Durante a Guerra de Onin o templo foi queimado várias vezes. O neto de Yoshimitsu criou o Ginkaku-ji inspirado no Kinkaku-ji, e tencionava cobrir o novo templo budista de prata, o que acabou por não conseguir fazer.
Em 1950, o templo foi incendiado por um monge que sofria de perturbações mentais, sendo relatada uma versão ficcionada dos acontecimentos no livro O Templo do Pavilhão Dourado, de Yukio Mishima, que foi publicado pela primeira vez em 1956. A estrutura actual data de 1955.
Recentemente verificou-se que o revestimento estava um pouco estragado tendo-se reparado esta situação e colocado uma nova cobertura de folha de ouro, muito mais espessa que a original. Além destas medidas também se restaurou o interior do edifício, incluíndo as pinturas, sendo o telhado restaurado em 2003. - Wikipedia

DDG-178 Ashigara Japanese Ship - by Masayu - Navio Japonês

In the late 1990s with the completion of their four Kongo class AEGIS destroyers, the Japanese Maritime Self Defense Force (JMSDF) identified a need to develop and build an upgraded version of the Kongo Class to a similar specification as the US Navy Flight IIA Arleigh Burke class destroyers. Accordingly in their year 2000 budget, a plan to build two of these destroyers was set forth.
These vessels retain all of the armament of the Kongo class (whereas the Flight IIA Burkes removed the Harpoon missiles and CIWS systems) while still adding hangar space for two SH-60 helicopters. The LAMPS III package was added in keeping with the Flight IIA capability. The displacement of the Atago class is 10,000 tons full load.
In accordance with the Japanese constitution and the self defense nature of the Japanese military forces, the Atago class, like the Kongo class, carries no Land Attack Cruise Missiles (LACM).
Ashigara, was launched in August of 2006 and was commissioned in 2008.
The Atago class, as well as the Kongo class will be upgraded to Theater Ballistic Missile Defense capability to offset the rising danger of North Korean ballistic missiles. - jefhead.com
