Thunderbird car 647/24/2023 Stylist Alden "Gib" Giberson submitted Thunderbird as part of a list. Crusoe offered a $250 suit to anyone who could come up with a better name. There was some difficulty in naming the car, with suggestions ranging from the exotic to the ridiculous (Hep Cat, Beaver, Detroiter, Runabout, Arcturus, Savile, El Tigre, and Coronado were submitted among the 5,000 suggestions). Unlike the Corvette, the Thunderbird was never a full-blown sporting vehicle Ford's description was personal luxury car, and the company essentially created this market segment. Crusoe saw a painted clay model on May 18, 1953, which corresponded closely to the final car he gave the car the go-ahead in September after comparing it with current European trends. The concept was for a two-passenger open car, with a target weight of 2525 lb (1145 kg), an Interceptor V8 engine and a top speed of over 100 mph (160 km/h). Hershey took the idea and began working on the vehicle. Walker promptly telephoned Ford's HQ in Dearborn and told designer Frank Hershey about the idea. Walking in the Grand Palais in Paris, Crusoe pointed at a sports car and asked Walker, 'Why can't we have something like that?' Crusoe and Walker met in France in October 1951. Crusoe, a retired GM executive lured out of retirement by Henry Ford II George Walker, chief stylist and a Ford vice-president and Frank Hershey, a Ford designer. Three men are generally credited with creating the original Thunderbird: Lewis D. In 2002, a revived 2-seat model was launched, was available through the end of the 2005 model year. Sales were good until the 1990s, when large 2-door coupes became unpopular production ceased after 1997. Succeeding generations became larger and more luxurious, until the line was downsized in 1977 and again in 1980. ![]() In 1958, the Thunderbird gained a second row of seats for greater practicality. Ford described it as a personal luxury car, a description which named a new market segment. It entered production for the 1955 model year as a two-seater sporty car unlike the superficially similar (and slightly earlier) Chevrolet Corvette, the Thunderbird was never sold as a full-blown sports car. ![]() The Ford Thunderbird is a car manufactured in the United States by the Ford Motor Company.

Sharpening a railroad spike knife7/24/2023 ![]() If you would like to show off your spike knives or anything else made with a spike check out this Facebook group, that is if you tolerate Facebook. If you want the head then either forge the head manually or make a swage block, best part is you can use a swage block to shape any tool steel into a spike and have a functional knife in the end that looks like a spike. ![]() You can buy bar stock from any steel supplier in the AISI 1040 or 1045 category and have a steel that will work easier without having to deal with rusty spikes. Imagine being at work and having several people walk in each day looking for free stuff and you can see they might be less than friendly. Visiting the rail yard and talking with the crews is better but you have to also consider how many people go wandering through the yard every week looking for free steel. Besides fastening, the railroad spike can also be made into some metal artworks such as knife, bottle opener, furniture and so on with reprocessing. One word of caution though is that walking the tracks can be hazardous to your health and is considered trespassing so if you get arrested and charged don't be shocked. Railroad spike, a special nail widely used in the railway industry, is an important component of rail fastening system.Among the railway system, the railroad spike is usually used to fasten the rail track. Once the shape of the spike is created, further shaping and blade sharpening continue. fact is like any mild steel they can be shaped into anything you heart desires. How is a knife made First the shape is formed by heating and hammering. Things I have seen to date range from knives, forks, flowers and coat hooks. In this class, you will learn forge and tool safety, hammer and tong techniques. For the railroader or hunter in your life, our unique railroad spike knife is a great addition whether for a set, a hobby, or on display (our railroad spike display stands are sold separately). Now the good parts? If you are given a few hundred pounds of spikes and want to make something with them then go for it. This handmade iron knife makes a perfect 6th anniversary gift, wedding present, best man gift or father of the bride gift. Mild steel hotdog bun, with a high carbon dog. ago Its the same premise as a bearded axe. It simply shows that pretty much any steel can be used if prepared properly. Has anyone here ever considered, or seen someone split a railroad spike and forge weld some high carbon steel in the middle 2 10 10 comments Best Add a Comment Marldain 5 yr. To get it out of the way right off the bat:ġ) not a high carbon steel, the HC simply designates a spike with higher carbon than a conventional spike.Ģ) no magical properties, HC spikes have on average 0.33% carbon and minor alloys.ģ) holding a rail in position does not require super strong steel or even super duper strong.Ĥ) Paper can cut you that does not make it the ultimate material for knife making.ĥ) passing the blade smith test with a spike knife is not testament to the high quality of railroad spikes.

![]() I got this from the internet but look how fun it would be to experience this – this is the view of what we see daily – this is our Africa HOME Next to our parked bakki, were these beautiful girls all dressed up and ready for the big event – shame, so young to be exposed It is hard to capture the sight, but on the bottom is our bakki and that is us trying to get through the street. We were returning from Siteki and these girls were waiting to be picked up to return to Lobamba after the cutting of the reeds Seriously, we saw hundreds of Boy Scouts also gathering to do who knows what….I am sure there is no protection going on, just getting an eye full! These are just a few of the girls….I was hesitant to take pictures of them – but look at their bags on their heads…still love that sight This is our exit to our home– the one that we take numerous times a day….the arrow to Lobamba This is just one of the many trucks that transport the girls from all over the country. I think I would really enjoy attending the actual Umhlanga if they would just be dressed appropriately. The other days they wander and enjoy being away from the restriction of home. The previous Thursday they left to a far away place where they cut down reeds and then they bring them back on Friday in a massive parade to the palace of the Queen Mother. Monday, September 2 was the actual celebration. I really thought that Dennis should be removed also…not good for his eyes but we had no where to go. ![]() We had to remove our Ezulwini elders for a few days because when that many girls gather in one small town where they have little facilities, it is not good for the innocence of our elders. Not only do the girls gather, all 60,000 of them, but people come from all over Africa and the world to be part of the Umhlanga. UMHLANGA, commonly known as the REED DANCE, 2013 – for the past week, the Swazi maidens have been gathering for the annual Reed Dance where they parade and dance in front of the king with a colorful costume, of which there is very little. The cost is high for us, but the reward is magnificent – eternal life with our Father in Heaven. Both feet are not firmly planted in the gospel, so they return to their former religion which only requires going to church one day a week, singing praises to the Lord, and then they can return home to live the life they desire for the rest of the week. But they find that they are not willing to put their whole soul on the sacrificial altar for the Lord– the gospel asks a lot of its members. Here, as in places all over the world, we find people who feel the spirit bear witness of the truthfulness of the gospel, gain a testimony and enter the waters of baptism. That is the price we must pay, and when we do, we then become instruments in the hands of God.”Īren’t those humbling words? What is the cost for us to be members of the church? Do we have one foot in the world and one foot in the gospel? Do we put everything that we have on the altar of sacrifice? Are we willing to give our whole soul to the Lord so that we can become his instrument in changing the world? The Lord demands our whole soul on the sacrificial altar. You cannot have one foot at home and one foot in the mission field. When you came to the mission field you burned the bridges behind you, you burned the ships in the harbor. It costs everything that you have on the altar of sacrifice – your fears, your pride, your laziness, your disobedience, your weaknesses, we cannot hold anything back. Did you think there would be no cost?” You young missionaries came out here to change the world, to change lives but there is a cost. Then in a stirring moment, Luther grasps his arm and asks, “You wanted me to change the world. ![]() At one point the monk reprimanded Luther for having turned the world upside down, leading the world in revolt – Protestants against Catholics. Shortly before he was to meet with the Court of Inquisition, his spiritual mentor (a monk who had trained him and loved him) was cutting his hair with a razor. “What is the cost to become a consecrated missionary (member)? Some time ago I saw a movie on the life of Martin Luther. I would like to share one area that he talked about, “What does it cost to become a consecrated missionary? But as you read it, please substitute member for missionary. Callister entitled “Becoming a Consecrated Missionary”. In our early morning studies, Dennis and I are reading and discussing a talk written by Elder Tad R.

Gigapixel vs sharpen ai7/24/2023 ![]() When applied overall to an image there were often artifacts created somewhere. Less amazing was the Focus function, designed to improve focus in images that are soft to begin with. The Stabilize sliders allow you to reverse motion blur created when hand-holding at slower shutter speeds, and I found the results truly amazing. I found that with the careful choice of slider positions in Sharpen AI, you are easily able to sharpen images, including fine detail, without creating artifacts.īut sharpening is only one function of Sharpen AI. Those programs that deal with fine detail too often sharpen noise, or create haloing and other artifacts. ![]() Most sharpening programs simply enhance edge contrast without regard to fine detail. Sharpen/Stabilize showing split-screen preview and settings. Original image (cropped) after Sharpen/Stabilize.All photos ©Stan Sholik unless otherwise noted. Original image (cropped) before Sharpen/Stabilize.Let’s cut to the chase: I found that each of these AI programs pretty much delivered on its promise and performed generally to a higher level than its competitors. The software outputs a DNG file that allows you to apply the full range of RAW file controls to the image rather than the limited controls available to a JPEG file. JPEG to RAW AI removes compression artifacts, improves details, and enhances dynamic range in JPEG files.Gigapixel AI is able to increase image resolution by up to 600 percent, realistically.DeNoise AI removes image noise while preserving image detail.Sharpen AI is not only able to sharpen image information without sharpening noise, it also has the fairly amazing ability to improve out-of-focus images and reduce shake in hand-held captures.Read: 16 Software Editing Programs for Every Skill Level What’s New in Photo Editing All four function as stand-alone programs while Sharpen and DeNoise also function as plug-ins for Adobe Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, and Topaz Studio. They are available individually for $80 (DeNoise and Sharpen) or $100 (Gigapixel and JPEG to RAW) or as a bundle for $250. The workflow-smart programs are Sharpen AI, DeNoise AI, Gigapixel AI, and JPEG to RAW AI. (For a sense of how you can teach software to learn how to make pleasing images, check out this article from our sister pub.) Topaz Labs has recently introduced four new software products that have been subjected to from many thousands to reportedly millions of test images and has “taught” the software to produce results that users would want to make workflow more efficient. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the latest buzzword in the image enhancement lexicon.

Mellel header7/23/2023 ![]() Headings are easy, right? You just click the right style (in Mellel, the right auto-title) and there you have it.īut with Mellel you can achieve so much more: you can set your title to look differently than its numbering, set which headings will be numbered and if they'll reset the numbering, set headings to always appear at the top of the page, add a running header that changes dynamically, insert tabs and line breaks in a heading (but not in the ToC), set the content of the outline (to include just the title, for example), force appending body text to headings, and so on.

The outline pane gives you a bird's eye view of your entire document, and lets you, tells you where you are, and lets you move things around easily. Mellel's superb Outline feature is just the tool to achieve that. Looks matter, consistency matters even more.Īs your document gets longer, it gets harder to keep all things in it in order. In Mellel, flexibility when setting columns or text does not come at the expense of of getting the results you want to get: Images with text flowing around them stay where you set them to stay, columns stay balanced, and headings don't go strolling down the page just for fun. Looks matter, and Mellel has no competitors when it comes to controlling the way your document looks and creating consistent, predictable, and beautiful looking results.Consistency and predictability are the most important things when dealing with text and images. In fact, we'll openly claim: Mellel is the most powerful word processor for the Mac OS. or just a letter to your aunt (she's on Facebook, though).ĭo not let Mellel's speedy launch, nimble performance, or humble footprint mislead you - there are no bells and whistles, but there is power.
