![]() All white tube, black fittings and wooden legs. ![]() No idea who the manufacturer was - I think it was marketed as 'Helios' but it came out of Japan it didn't have any manufacturers labels on it except at the back end it said something like 'Superiorr Japanese Astro Scope' and some Japanese markings, serial number etc and unfortunately I have no pictures of it at all now but it was probably the prettiest scope I ever owned. The clock drive had a teeny chime in it so when it was getting low on wind up power is would go 'ding-ding' to alert you to wind it back up Ok it was wind up and only ran for about 15 minutes but back then it was the bomb and VERY expensive. I had a 5" reflector back in the late 1970s that looked a little like Tascos 16T - it was super deluxe and even had a clock drive. I can imagine there have been many astronomers who started with a Tasco and it is disappointing that Tasco telescopes aren't as widely available now. Very sadly, I didn't have a proper telescope as a child (I won't go into details on the awful "toy" telescope that almost put me off astronomy.). I always wanted a Tasco refractor for Christmas as a child so I wanted to get one in recent years and I haven't been disappointed. While the mounting on my 2 inch/50mm isn't the best (it is on a table tripod), the views are perfectly acceptable and I have also had a good view of the Orion Nebula with the Tasco. Hi John, I have read that Tasco telescopes were much better made in the 1960s. While every telescope in here is red, most modern-day Tasco telescopes don't have red tubes now. ![]() I have attached three images from the Catalogue. It is disappointing how plastic is used in small Tasco refractors nowadays, although I think the 2 inch red refractor is the only one that now has a plastic tube. Unfortunately, the tube of my Tasco is plastic as well as the focusing knobs and the eyepiece barrel, but back in the 1980s metal was always used and the 1980s Tasco counterparts look so much better and the metal tubes are noticeable in the images. I have a 1980s Tasco Catalogue that has a really good range of refractors as well as two reflectors. I have a small Tasco refractor that gives perfectly good views of Venus's phases, Jupiter and its moons and Saturn's rings. I remember around eighteen months ago I mentioned Tasco telescopes on the forum and I commented about the unfair criticism they have had.

In 2013 Signal Mountain made Bloomberg Businessweeks' list of the best places to raise a family. During the 1970s, the town experienced significant growth. On April 4, 1919, the Tennessee Legislature passed the bill that chartered the Town of Signal Mountain. While the streetcars are no longer used, the tracks remain in the streets of Signal Mountain's historic district named after Velma. In 1913, construction was completed of twelve miles (19 km) of streetcar track, which linked Chattanooga to Signal Mountain. James purchased 4,400 acres (18 km 2) of land in the Signal Point area and developed the mountain. However, when various health epidemics struck Chattanooga in 18, several wealthy families relocated to the mountain where they could find clear air and pure water. At the outbreak of the war, only a few families lived on the mountain. Later, the Union Army used Signal Point as a communications station during the Civil War. ![]() Centuries prior to the Civil War, Native Americans used a location on the mountain known as Signal Point to send fire and smoke signals across the Tennessee Valley. Signal Mountain's history dates back years before settlement of the mountain itself. Route 127 (Ridgeway Avenue) is the main road through the town, leading south off the mountain 8 miles (13 km) to downtown Chattanooga and north over Walden Ridge 21 miles (34 km) to Dunlap.Īccording to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 7.7 square miles (19.9 km 2), all land.

We all crave to find someone who will support and love us. There are few things better than finding a person who understands you completely. The Astrology Podcast, Episode 266, Aspect Patterns in Astrology, Chris Brennan & Carole Taylor, August 5, 2020.“With some we’re certain our hearts must’ve been acquainted long before we have ever met them.” ― Shakieb Orgunwall As with any astrological placement, however, the expression of these aspect patterns in a given individual varies tremendously from person to person, and must be viewed holistically, taking into account the other unique elements of that native’s chart. Grant Water Trine individuals have tremendous imagination, intuition, and creative power. Natives with a Grant Air Trine are curious, intelligent, and socially engaged. ![]() Grand Earth Trine natives are secure and stable, with significant common sense and power to stay the course. Natives with a Grand Fire Trine are often confident, spontaneous, and have significant vitality and energy. It can be difficult for natives with this aspect pattern to rise to the challenges and growth opportunities presented in other areas of the chart, rather than rest easy in the Grand Trine’s more comfortable territory. Natives with Grand Trines often feel quite comfortable with those areas of their life emphasized by the aspect pattern, and may even take those areas for granted or fail to do the work necessary to bear fruit in these areas. Key to understanding the Grand Trine is looking at the three houses in the chart that house the Grand Trine planets, as well as the rulers of those houses. Trines are supportive aspects that are often experienced as subjectively positive by the native. In a Grand Trine aspect pattern, all three planets are in the same triplicity, resulting in an emphasis on that element. A Grand Trine is a planetary aspect pattern that occurs when three planets in a chart trine each other (120°), forming an equilateral triangle. ![]() ![]() The building has no inherent formal meaning. We need to see beyond numbers, requirements, and energy efficiency. However, function is a low-hanging fruit when it comes to designing symbolic public buildings for a country such as India. The Bharat Mandapam does fulfil all the functional requirements that the government might have envisioned. The building has spacious meeting rooms and convention halls and infrastructural capabilities that make it “state-of-the-art” or, to use a more attractive term, “world class”. It has a large amphitheatre which, apparently, outdoes the Sydney Opera House. It meets the functional needs of a convention centre as these have evolved over time. The building expands the outdated facilities of the old Pragati Maidan complex. There was another set of meanings that the government provided. Historian Mustansir Dalvi called it the culmination of Nehruvian infrastructure building that began with the Bhakra Nangal Dam.īut interestingly, not everything was religious. According to Rewal, the brief given to him was to showcase India’s self-reliance and ability to create cutting-edge infrastructure. The Hall of Nations was 246 ft by 246 ft of uninterrupted exhibition space, the largest in the country, made possible by the use of space frames of reinforced concrete members. The design was a result of Rewal’s exceptional ability to abstract forms and Mahendra Raj’s structural design genius. The Hall of Nations, built in 1972 to celebrate India’s 25 years of Independence, was actually a marvellous building. Between this noise of grandiose marvellousness, we must dissect the meanings that the building carries and how they have changed from the ideas behind the Hall of Nations, Raj Rewal and Mahendra Raj’s iconic building that was brought down to make way for Bharat Mandapam. Industrialist Anand Mahindra went on to say that the old Pragati Maidan complex was a “source of embarrassment”. The building has been called an “architectural marvel”. On July 26, the Bharat Mandapam, a new convention centre in Pragati Maidan, was inaugurated. ![]() Adjust the brightness by swiping the slider.ħ.

Hundred of thousands of Americans and foreigners set their sights on the perceived riches of California and quickly swelled the territory’s population. Within a few months, the word that gold had been discovered at Sutter’s Mill in the Sierra Nevada Mountains spread like wildfire, setting off what is considered the greatest voluntary mass migration of people in human history. Following a three year war with Mexico, the United States gained control over the region in 1848. In the next decade, life in California changed quickly and in a dramatic fashion. The friars retained control of Santa Clara until 1836, after which it fell into disrepair. After Mexico gained independence from Spain in 1821, most of the mission properties were secularized and broken-up into “ranchos” or ranches that were subsequently granted to the friends and family members of important Mexican officials. The cornerstone for the permanent church was laid in November 1781 at a ceremony presided over by Father Junipero Serra, who is considered the founder of the chain of 21 missions that eventually stretched from San Diego northward to Sonoma. Two years later, the first mission complex was flooded by the Guadalupe River, and the friars decided to move it upland. Santa Clara was also meant to balance the mission at San Francisco, thereby creating a strong Spanish presence on the lower half of San Francisco Bay-one of the best natural harbors on the west coast of North America. The Franciscans chose the Santa Clara Valley because its grassy expanse, dotted with sturdy oaks, was interlaced with springs that could be used to irrigate fields and support herds of cattle, sheep, and goats. While some Ohlone willingly participated in the mission system, many were forced into compliance. In January 1777, the friars established Mission Santa Clara and set out to work among the Ohlone, teaching not just religion, but also practical skills such as woodworking and tanning. Franciscan missionaries worked toward the conversion of the region’s American Indians to Christianity, a stated goal of Spanish colonization. In the latter half of the 18th century, the Spanish Empire based in Mexico began to make greater efforts to secure the California coast. When the Spanish first explored the area along the southern end of San Francisco Bay, it was inhabited by the Ohlone American Indians who moved between the uplands and the shore where they hunted amid the wetlands and gathered grasses to construct shelters. Today, California’s Great America remains a prime regional destination known for its roller coasters, live stage and musical shows, and themed fantasy lands. Marriott later decided to sell the complex, and it was purchased by the city of Santa Clara which in turn sold it again in the late 1980s. ![]() Opened in 1976, Great America was the result of a partnership between actor Fess Parker, who had played Daniel Boone and Davy Crockett on television, and the Marriott Corporation and was intended to be a family-friendly destination. Passengers heading for a day of fun and sun at the amusement park can hop a shuttle bus from the rail station to the park entrance.

When used as statuary the pair would consist of a male leaning his paw upon an embroidered ball (in imperial contexts, representing supremacy over the world) and a female restraining a playful cub that is on its back (representing nurture). Pairs of guardian lion statues are still common and symbolic elements at the entrances to restaurants, hotels, supermarkets and other structures, with one sitting on each side of the entrance, in China and in other places around the world where the Chinese people have immigrated and settled, especially in local Chinatowns. They are also used in other artistic contexts, for example on door-knockers, and in pottery. Statues of guardian lions have traditionally stood in front of Chinese Imperial palaces, Imperial tombs, government offices, temples, and the homes of government officials and the wealthy, and were believed to have powerful mythic protective benefits. Used in imperial Chinese palaces and tombs, the lions subsequently spread to other parts of Asia including Japan (see komainu), Korea, the Philippines, Tibet, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Cambodia, Laos, and Malaysia. The concept, which originated and became popular in Chinese Buddhism, features a pair of highly stylized lions-often one male with a ball which represents the material elements and one female with a cub which represents the element of spirit- that were thought to protect the building from harmful spiritual influences and harmful people that might be a threat. They are known in colloquial English as lion dogs or foo dogs / fu dogs. Typically made of stone, they are also known as stone lions or shishi ( 石獅 shíshī).
