The Real Thing  By Day...
The Eiffel Tower (French: La Tour Eiffel,nickname La dame de fer, the iron lady) is a puddle iron lattice tower located on the Champ de Mars in Paris. Built in 1889, it has become both a global icon of France and one of the most recognizable structures in the world. The tower is the tallest building in Paris and the most-visited paid monument in the world; millions of people ascend it every year. Named after its designer, engineer Gustave Eiffel, the tower was built as the entrance arch to the 1889 World's Fair. The tower stands 324 metres (1,063 ft) tall, about the same height as an 81-storey building. Upon its completion, the Eiffel Tower surpassed the Washington Monument to assume the title of the tallest man-made structure in the world, a title it held for 41 years, until the Chrysler Building in New York City was built in 1930. However, due to the addition, in 1957, of the antenna atop the Eiffel Tower, is now taller than theChrysler Building. Not including broadcast antennas, it is the second-tallest structure in France, after the  Millau Viaduct.

...And By Night.
A Torre Eiffel (em francês: Tour Eiffel) é uma torre treliçada de ferro do século XIX localizada no Champ de Mars, em Paris, que se tornou um ícone mundial da França e uma das estruturas mais reconhecidas no mundo. A Torre Eiffel, que é o edifício mais alto de Paris, é o monumento pago mais visitado do mundo, milhões de pessoas sobem à torre cada ano. Nomeada com nome de seu projetista, o engenheiro Gustave Eiffel, a torre foi construída como o arco de entrada da Exposição Universal de 1889.
A torre possui 324 metros de altura. Foi a estrutura mais alta do mundo desde a sua conclusão até 1930, quando perdeu o posto para o Chrysler Building, em Nova York, Estados Unidos. Não incluindo as antenas de transmissão, a Torre é a segunda estrutura mais alta da França, atrás apenas do Viaduto de Millau, concluído em 2004. A torre tornou-se o símbolo mais proeminente de Paris e da França. - Wikipedia

The Real Thing
Suzuki Stingray X is the third generation of Suzuki`s wagons. The Suzuki Wagon is a kei car first introduced in Japan in 1993, and is still in production by Suzuki. It is one of the first cars to use the "tall wagon or tall boy" design in which the car is designed to be unusually tall with a short bonnet and almost vertical hatchback and sides in order to maximise cabin space while staying within the kei car dimension restrictions. The Wagon has been the best-selling kei car in Japan since 2003.
It has been a profitable car for Suzuki even in the International market, mainly since introducing the car in India. Sales of Suzuki Wagon have reached 5 million units at the end of February 2010. - Wikipedia

The Incredible Anti-Gravity Double Cone - by Paper Pino


Photobucket

This model (a wooden version) was used in one of the physics experiments described in the works by the French abbot Jean Antoine Nollet (1700-1770). When the double cone is placed at the lower end of the frame, it automatically starts to roll upward, giving the impression of defying the universal law of gravitational force. Because of this phenomenon, astonishing in its seeming contradiction of common sense, the apparatus was often described as a “mechanical paradox.” for more information, visit http://www.museogalileo.it/ - Paper Pino

A reconstruction of an ancient Greek galley squadron
based on images of modern replica 
A galley is a type of ship propelled by rowers that originated in the Mediterranean region and was used for warfare, trade and piracy from the first millennium BC. Galleys dominated naval warfare in the Mediterranean Sea from the 8th century BC until development of advanced sailing warships in the 16th century. Galleys fought in the wars of Assyria, ancient Phoenicia, Greece, Carthage and Rome until the 4th century AD. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire galleys formed the mainstay of the Byzantine navy and other navies of successors of the Roman Empire, as well as new Muslim navies. Medieval Mediterranean states, notably the Italian maritime republics, including Venice, Pisa, and Genoa, used galleys until the ocean-going man-of-war made them obsolete. The Battle of Lepanto was one of the largest naval battles in which galleys played the principal part. Galleys were in common use until the introduction of broadside sailing ships of war into the Mediterranean in the 17th Century, but continued to be applied in minor roles until steam propulsion. - Wikipedia

A 13th century war galley depicted
 in a Byzantine-style  afresco
Em geral, galé ou galera podem designar qualquer tipo de navio movido a remos. Algumas variações possuem mastros e velas para auxiliar a propulsão; eram navios muito usados em guerras na Europa, por isso desempenharam um papel de grande importância na época. Por vezes os remadores eram prisioneiros, os carrascos marcavam em brasa duas letras nas costas dos condenados, os quais as temiam mais que tudo, já que um condenado às galés vivia muito pouco tempo, pois quase não tinham descanso, comiam mal e eram chicoteados quando não obedeciam. Os prisioneiros eram condenados as galés por terem cometido crimes muito pesados, mas com o tempo as guerras foram aumentando e o governo necessitava de mais remadores, por isso os juízes foram orientados cada vez mais a condenarem bandidos às galés, até mesmo pequenos infratores eram condenados. O tempo das remadas dos condenados era marcado por um tambor. - Wikipedia
