The Real Thing
The Volkswagen New Beetle is a compact car, introduced by Volkswagen in 1998, drawing heavy inspiration from the exterior design of the original Beetle.
Unlike the original Beetle, the New Beetle has its engine in the front driving the front wheels, with luggage storage in the rear. Many special editions have been released, such as the Malibu Barbie New Beetle.
In May 2010, Volkswagen announced that production of the current body of the New Beetle will cease in 2011.
A redesigned model has replaced it. - Wikipedia

2008 New Beetle Anniversary Edition coupe - Australia
O Volkswagen New Beetle é a reedição do consagrado Volkswagen Fusca (Old Beetle, Bug, Coccinelle, Vocho, Escarabajo, Käfer, Kever, Fusca). O New Beetle nasceu como um estudo de design, que recebeu o nome-código Concept 1, sob as formas do antigo Fusca, mirando uma reedição do popular Volkswagen, já que a imagem da fábrica ainda estava bastante vinculada ao Fusca. O projeto do novo carro ficou a cargo dos estúdios californianos da Volkswagen. O New Beetle foi lançado em 1998. - Wikipedia

Federal Reserve Notes
The United States dollar (sign: $; code: USD; also abbreviated US$), also referred to as the American dollar, is the official currency of the United States of America and its overseas territories. It is divided into 100 smaller units called cents or pennies. The U.S. dollar is the currency most used in international transactions and is one of the world's dominant reserve currencies. Several countries use it as their official currency and, in many others, it is the de facto currency. It is also used as the sole currency in some British Overseas Territories (British Virgin Islands and Turks and Caicos). - Wikipedia


O Dólar dos Estados Unidos (em inglês: United States dollar) é a moeda emitida pelos Estados Unidos da América, mas utilizada no mundo inteiro, tanto em reservas internacionais como em livre circulação em alguns países. Atualmente, a sua expedição é controlada pela Reserva Federal dos Estados Unidos. - Wikipedia

German Human Torpedo Neger Paper Model - by Renova Model - Mini-Submarino Torpedeiro


Photobucket


Photobucket
The Real Thing
Neger was a German torpedo-carrying craft generally described as a human torpedo which could not submerge, but was difficult to see during night operations. The vessel was used by the Kriegsmarine between 1943 and 1945. The name was taken from the constructor of the manned torpedo, Richard Mohr (Mohr is German for Moor (= North African native), and Neger the German word for "negro"). Richard Mohr designed a craft based on the G7e torpedo. The Neger sported a spartan cockpit covered by a perspex dome where the warhead would have been. It had sufficient positive buoyancy to run awash while supporting a second G7e, with warhead, slung below. The vessel had a range of 48 nautical miles at 4 knots and displaced 2.7 tons. The pilot navigated via a wrist compass and air was provided through a Dräger self-contained breathing device. The pilot aimed his weapon by lining up an aiming spike on the nose with a graduated scale on the dome. Subsequently, a second aiming spike was added closer to the dome. It, however, made little difference as water washing over the dome made visibility extremely poor. A simple lever in the cockpit irreversibly started the torpedo and released it. Though not designed as a suicide weapon, the Neger would frequently become one when the torpedo started running but failed to release, and carried the craft and its pilot toward the target.
About 200 vessels of this type were manufactured in 1944. The first Neger vessels entered service in March 1944. However, the Neger turned out to be very hazardous for its crew, and up to 80% of the crews were killed. In return one cruiser, one destroyer, and three Catherine Class BAMS minesweepers were sunk in 1944 with the weapon. The first Negers entered service on March 1944 and the first mission took place on the night of April 20 and 21 1944. Thirty Negers were launched against Allied ships berthed in Anzio. Only 17 of them managed to deploy, with the other 13 capsizing upon reaching the water. Three failed to return and up until then, the Allies had no knowledge of this new unusual weapon. None had made any successful attacks. - Wikipedia

A Really Bad Place To Be...
O Neger era um submarino torpedeiro alemão, com apenas um tripulante, geralmente descrito como um "torpedo-humano", que não submergia, mas era difícil de ser detectado em missões noturnas. Ele foi usado pela Marinha Alemã entre os anos de 1943 e 1945. O seu nome foi tirado do construtor do torpedo tripulado, Richard Mohr (Mohr é o alemão para Moor = Nativo Norte-Africano), e neger é a palavra alemã para Negro. Richard Mohr desenhou este submarino baseando-se no torpedo G7e, com uma ogiva, ou seja, o torpedo com carga explosiva, fixado abaixo do mini-submarino. Este mini tinha um alcance de 48 milhas náuticas à 4 nós e tinha um deslocamento de 2,7 toneladas. O piloto se guiava por uma bússola de pulso e o ar vinha de um "Drager", uma espécie de respirador autônomo rudimentar. A mira do piloto era feita através de marcas pré-definidas pintadas no domo. Isso pouco ajudava, pois a visibilidade era péssima, com a água turva batendo na cúpula por todos os lados, além disso, qualquer movimento brusco na pequena cabine, ativava o torpedo, não sendo possível abortar o lançamento. Apesar de não ter sido feito para ataques suicídas, muitas vezes o torpedo não se desconectava do submarino, levando ambos, mais o infeliz piloto, de encontro ao alvo. Cerca de 200 Negers foram construídos em 1944. Ele acabou tornando-se um dos mais mortais equipamentos de guerra, mas infelizmente, para a própria Marinha Alemã, já que mais de 80% de seus tripulantes morreram à bordo de um desses modelos. como prova de sua ineficácia, apenas um Cruzador, um Destróier e três navios caça-minas dos aliados foram afundados pelo Neger em todo o ano de 1944. O projeto acabou sendo abandonado.

Mahjong Chinese Game - by Colinot - via Le Forum En Papier

Traditional Mahjong Tiles
Mahjong, sometimes spelled Mah Jongg, is a game that originated in China, commonly played by four players (with some three-player variations found in Korea and Japan). The four player table version should not be confused with the popular Western single player (tile matching) computer game (Mahjong Solitaire), which is a recent invention and completely different from the table game. Similar to the Western card game rummy, Mahjong is a game of skill, strategy and calculation and involves a certain degree of chance. In Asia, Mahjong is also popularly played as a gambling game (though it may just as easily be played recreationally).
Rules - The game is played with a set of 136 tiles based on Chinese characters and symbols, although some regional variations use a different number of tiles. In most variations, each player begins by receiving thirteen tiles. In turn players draw and discard tiles until they complete a legal hand using the fourteenth drawn tile to form four groups (melds) and a pair (head). There are fairly standard rules about how a piece is drawn, stolen from another player (melded), the use of basic (numbered tiles) and honours (winds and dragons), the kinds of melds, and the order of dealing and play. However there are many regional variations in the rules; in addition, the scoring system, the minimum hand necessary to win varies significantly based on the local rules being used. - Wikipedia

Mahjong`s Virtual Version
Mahjong (Mah Jongg, Majiang, Majongue, Majong, Ma-Jong, Mahjongg) é um jogo de mesa de origem chinesa que foi exportado, a partir de 1920, para o resto do mundo e principalmente para o ocidente. É composto de 144 peças, chamadas comumente de “pedras”. Segundo parece, o Mahjong moderno é descendente de um antigo oráculo que há milênios era consultado pelos adivinhos chineses. Quando seus astrônomos começaram a registrar as progressões do Sol, da Lua e dos planetas utilizavam um tabuleiro de adivinhações para prever a posição dos corpos celestes.Os movimentos destes astros no céu era registrado movendo os contadores pelas casas do tabuleiro. Este é possivelmente a origem de muitos jogos difundidos, como o Pachisi e o Mahjong. Precisamente neste último são verificados sinais desta origem de oráculo, como a inversão dos pontos cardeais (já que se trata de uma representação dos céus e não terrestre) e a divisão de treze pedras, que representam os meses do calendário lunar.
A palavra Mahjong é a transcrição livre ocidental do nome original Ma Jiang ou Ma Jiang Pai, onde Pai significa pedra, peça. Seu antecessor recebia o nome de “Jogo das folhas em tiras” porque as fichas eram feitas de papel, semelhante ao nosso baralho comum. De todo modo, a história do Mahjong é obscura e existem vários jogos antecedentes pouco documentados. - Wikipedia
