Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)
(1/1250th sec at f10. Click image for larger version. . © David Hastings)
(1/1000th sec at f11. Click image for larger version. © David Hastings)
L: 31 - 37 cm; WS: 68 - 78 cm
The Kestrel is familiar sight with its pointed wings and long tail, hovering beside a roadside verge. The male has an unbarred blue-grey rump and upper tail. The tail has a wide, dark terminal band. Its head is a finely-streaked greyish colour, while its back and upper wing coverts are a deep chestnut with small black spots (more pinkish during the breeding season). The female has a brown rump and upper tail, with a wider tail-band than the male. The head is brownish with distinct streaks. The upperparts are warm brown, with barring rather than spots.
The Kestrel can be found throughout the British Isles.
Typically this is a species of open country, but it has adapted to more urban environments in recent years.
Kestrels are tree nesters, often in an old corvid nest. They will also nest in holes in buildings. There are about 37000 breeding pairs in Britain.
The Kestrel's conservation status is amber, owing to habitat degradation.

This postcard, from the same time frame as the one above, shows another view of the Illinois Central's Chicago yard.
Classic trains, stations, shops, yards, steam, diesel, traction, and more!
Welcome to Vintage Railroad Postcards!
Thank you for stopping by! This is the blog for the Russell P. Panecki Collection of vintage railroad-related postcards. The entire collection consists of nearly one thousand so far with images dating from circa 1904 to the 1950s. To leave a comment, ask a question, to contribute or correct historical information, a comment box is located to the left for your convenience.
Each page, including this homepage, has an index located in the lower portion of the page. In addition to the index, posts were updated with historical information, new postcards added from storage files, while some posts were completely rewritten or edited for corrections. Three articles have been added and are worth reading. They include how vintage postcards were made, the history of Pennsylvania Station, and the history of Grand Central Terminal.
My apologies, but the postcards in my collection and on this blog are not available for sale, copying, or for contribution to projects. Please keep in mind that I reserve all rights to the images and content of this blog.

Chicago, Illinois Yards
This circa 1906 postcard has some interesting details. The Michigan Central Railroad, a subsidiary of the New York Central, shared trackage rights with the Illinois Central and that probably owned the yard seen here. The Michigan Central also shared the IC's Central Station in Chicago as well, so it looks as if MC used the yard for coach storage. Note the switcher locomotive sneaking passed behind the freight cars, lower right.

Track Guide
The right curtain track, correctly fitted, will make a big difference to the hang of your curtains and the whole look of your room. We have a wide selection in our shops and hope this guide will assist you in your selection.
Types of Curtain Track
To begin with, ensure that the track is suitable for the weight of the curtains which will hang from them.
PVC is inexpensive, flexible and suitable for light and medium weight curtains. A corded option is not available with this type of track.
Aluminium is more expensive but stronger and more durable, as well as being bendable. It is also suitable for light and medium weight fabric and gives you smoother drawing curtains. Corded and uncorded options are available with this type of track.
Steel is suitable for heavy weight curtains. This type of track is not bendable and is always corded.
Heavy duty aluminium can be made to exact lengths and can be ordered ready bent.
We also sell Valance tracks. A bendable valance track is available for use with our PVC and Aluminium tracks (sold separately) and a track/valance combination in steel, which is not bendable, is also available.
Corded and Uncorded Track
Uncorded curtain tracks
Uncorded curtain tracks have nylon gliders which slot into the bottom of the track. You manually pull the curtains to open and close them. We recommend 1 pair of draw cords to aid pulling curtains
Corded curtain tracks
Corded tracks are threaded with nylon cord at the back which connects to a system of gliders and pulleys. You open and close the curtains by using a pull-cord, without having to handle the curtain, protecting more delicate fabrics from damage. Corded tracks are also useful for heavy curtains and for tall windows, making drawing your curtains easier. Corded tracks over 3m (9 feet 10 inches ) in length will have cords at both ends rather than just one (see diagram).
Windows Shapes
Inside recesses
To fit a curtain track inside a recess, the overall length of the track should be slightly sorter than the actual width of the recess. Standard size PVC or slim aluminium tracks can be cut to fit using a hacksaw.
Outside recesses
When measuring, allow a minimum of 15cm ( 6 inches ) each side of the window to let in the maximum amount of daylight. For very full curtains allow even greater width. Again, PVC and aluminium tracks can be cut to fit. Heavy duty aluminium tracks can be ordered in exact lengths.
An extendable steel track can be used where you are unsure of the exact measurements. Narrow windows can be made to appear wider by extending the track on either size (see diagram).
Bays and corners
When measuring, allow for bends. The gentler the bend, the more smoothly your curtains will run. Most PVC or aluminium track can be bent to fit. If the track is heavy duty aluminium you will need to order it ready bent – just fill in one of our measurement forms in store and we'll do the rest. We can also supply and fit the track if your bay has several bends or if you are unsure about measuring tracks yourself. Measuring and estimating is free of charge but there is a charge for fitting.
Fitting Tracks
Brackets: Most tracks come with universal brackets that can be fixed either to the wall or ceiling.
Wall fixing: Fix the track to a wooden batten above the window frame, or fix to brickwork using long screws and rawlplugs.
Ceiling fixing: Attach track to ceiling joists or, if joists are not in the right positions, to a wooden batten (see diagram).
Cutting and Bending Tracks
PVC tracks are easy to cut with a hacksaw. When bending, work with care and make sure the track is at room temperature. Follow the pack instructions which will tell you the angle of bend you can achieve.
Aluminium tracks are also easy to cut with a hacksaw. Aluminium can be made into tighter bends but you will need to work carefully since, once bent, an aluminium track will not spring back. Follow the pack instructions and bend in stages, regularly checking the angle of the bend against the shape of the window.
Steel tracks cannot be bent.
Heavy duty aluminium
Tracks should be ordered cut to length or cut by professional fitters. Some can be bent outwards as well as inwards while others cannot be bent so check with an assistant before you order. Tracks can be bent to your own measurements or our professional fitters will bend them as part of our fitting service.
We have everything you need to fit, fix and maintain curtain tracks:
- Spares: Tracks come complete with all fitting apart from curtain hooks but we stock additional gliders, end stops, brackets, runners and roller runners.
- Extension brackets: These can be used with deep windows or radiators to bring the curtains further out from the wall.
- Draw rods: For drawing curtains on uncorded tracks. Choose from 3 lengths to suit the height of your windows.
- Header tape; John Lewis shops stock a full range of Rufflette tapes and hooks.
- Spray lubricant: This silicone based spray ensures curtains run more smoothly, prolonging the life of corded curtain tracks.
Occasional cleaning will improve the performance of your track and help prolong its life. Wash with a household detergent, allow to dry, then spray with a silicone based lubricant.

Children in South Africa are under attack of enormous and most evil proportions. If they are not raped at school by teachers or fellow pupils or security guards, they go missing from our homes, and unfortunately some parents find them dead.
It's heartbreaking that the mutilated bodies of two boys, both 10 years-old, were found on Thursday night in a swimming pool in someone's home.
Onalenna Molehabangwe and Gontse Cholo went missing on Tuesday from their home.
It is understood that were allegedly kidnapped after being lured with potato chips by unknown people travelling in a Volkswagen Polo. Police have not arrested anyone. The boys' families are going through unbearable pain, one we can never imagine.
And in another sad case, the parents of 16-year-old Matlhomola Moshoeu in Coligny in North West might not have been happy about the sentence given to their son's killers, but jail time they will do. It's understandable, the parents are grieving and no prison stint will ever bring their beloved son back to life. Pieter Doorewaard and Phillip Schutte were sentenced to 20 years in prison for killing the teenager after accusing him of stealing sunflowers.
And the search for three missing girls from Western Cape has not stopped. Mampho Mgqwaki (15) from Kuyasa, Linathi Titshala (9) from Delft and Jeneva Diergal (8) from Klawer are still missing.
Mampho was last seen more than a month ago, while Linathi disappeared after leaving her grandmother's home in Cork Tree street in December. The mentally and physically challenged Jeneva girl went missing in January while playing outside her aunt's home. Police have appealed for help to find these little girls.

Cleveland Museum returns looted Cambodian sculpture
The Cleveland Museum of Art, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, "announced early Monday that it voluntarily returned to Cambodia a much-beloved 10th-century statue of Hanuman, the Hindu monkey god, after uncovering evidence that it was probably looted during the country's bloody civil war."
The news was detailed in a museum press release.
The Plain Dealer article continues:
Xinhua, the Chinese news agency, reported that Cambodian officials held a Buddhist ceremony at the airport to welcome the arrival of the 800-pound sandstone sculpture, which stands roughly 3.5 feet high and depicts a kneeling human figure with the head of a monkey.
A favorite with generations of schoolchildren who imitated its distinctive, kneeling pose during tours with docents, the sculpture has been on nearly constant display at the museum since the museum acquired it in 1982. The work was still illustrated on the museum's website early Monday.
The Cleveland museum said it uncovered evidence late last year that the work's head and body were sold separately in Bangkok, Thailand, in 1968 and 1972, respectively, during the Vietnam War and the Cambodian civil war.
The Cleveland museum also learned in February, in talks that it initiated with Cambodian officials in Phnom Penh, that a government excavation showed the sculpture's base matched a pedestal at the east gate of the Prasat Chen Temple, part of the Koh Ker archaeological site.
The excavation at the site, roughly 15 miles from the border of Thailand, uncovered fragments that match details on the Cleveland Hanuman, including the earring missing from the right side of its head, museum officials said.
Also from the article:
The restitution of the Hanuman is part of a rising trend in which "source countries" rich in antiquities are pressing for the return of allegedly looted objects, sometimes based on hard evidence, sometimes not.
Cleveland's Hanuman is the sixth of the so-called "blood antiquities" returned to Cambodia by American institutions in recent years, including two from the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, one from the Sotheby's auction house, one from Christie's auction house and one from the Norton Simon Museum in Los Angeles.
The restitution also follows the Cleveland Museum of Art's decision in 2009 to hand over 14 works of art to Italy.
Italian authorities said that evidence from a 1995 police raid in Geneva, Switzerland, showed that 13 of the objects were looted from sites in Puglia and laundered through a smuggling operation. The 14th item was a Renaissance-era crucifix stolen from a church near Siena.
The Cleveland museum also faced pressure from Greece in 2007, without hard evidence, to return an ancient bronze statue of Apollo attributed to Praxiteles.
In 2012, Turkey pressed the museum to return 22 objects that it said were looted and illegally exported. When queried by The Plain Dealer, Turkish authorities did not provide any proof of looting and smuggling.
Additionally from the article:
Unnamed Cambodian officials were quoted by The New York Times in 2013 as saying that the Hanuman had been looted from Prasat Chen and that the country wanted it returned.
A year later, the museum reported that Sonya Quintanilla, its curator of Indian and Southeast Asian art, had traveled to Prasat Chen with a mold of the base of the Hanuman. She found that it did not match any excavated pedestals there, and concluded at the time that it had not been looted.
Her investigation, conducted with permission from the Cambodian government, focused on excavated portions of the west gate at the site, [Cleveland Museum director William] Griswold said.
At the time, Cambodian authorities had not excavated the east gate, where government archaeologists later found the matching pedestal and the missing earring, Griswold said.
The museum said it bought the Hanuman in 1982 from New York art dealer Robert H. Ellsworth, who died in 2014 at age 85.
Ellsworth, in turn, acquired the work from the estate of New York financier and collector Christian Humann, whose Pan-Asian Collection was widely exhibited.
The Hanuman was published in a 1977 catalog for the "Sensuous Immortals" exhibition, which traveled to four American museums.
After Quintanilla's 2014 trip to Cambodia, she continued to research the sculpture's provenance, or ownership history, Griswold said.
Her research uncovered the sale of the work's head in 1968 in Bangkok, followed by the body in 1972. Griswold said that the pieces were sold in Bangkok by Douglas Latchford, a British art dealer.
U.S. federal authorities in 2012 accused Latchford of having knowingly purchased a looted 10th-century Khmer sculpture that was later returned to Cambodia by Sotheby's. Latchford denied having owned the work, according to news reports.

GIBBS Penetrating Oil
A good friend and I were talking one day and I pointed to the aftermarket door handles on my '54 Chevy pickup truck, noting the constant battle I was having with rust on the thin cheapo chrome job they give you on aftermarket things. He looked at me and simply said, "GIBBS Penetrating Oil. Clean the rust off with GIBBS, then coat them with GIBBS and you'll never see them rust again."
He's a Harley Motorcycle guy, so I said "Great! I'll go to the local Harley shop and get some!" ... "You won't find it there ..." he replied ... "I'll email you a link." He sent me a link to GetGIBBS.com ... I immediately called Jerry Ostalecki (248.719.0550) and placed an order over the phone. A single can is $11.00 plus $8.50 S&H -- a bit pricey but well worth it if you ask me. It's a fairly large 12 ounce can and if you want to save on shipping costs, you can place a larger order; it's worth it because you'll be ordering more once you see how cool this stuff is anyway!
I sprayed some rusty areas on a number of things ... waited a while ... steel wooled the rust off and then coated everything with GIBBS. It's been over a week and I see no signs of rust returning. Previously, I had been using chrome polish and rust would return in a week or so ... less, if it rained.
Another cool thing about this stuff is the way is dispenses from the can! If you slowly press down on the nozzel, the oil will just ooze out in a foam which makes it real easy to coat small things like the door handle push buttons ... and if you press the nozzle full-blast, it shoots out in a strong 3- to 4-foot stream that lets you target hard to reach areas.
Jerry Ostalecki told me to try it on my fan belts. I was taken back at the idea of putting oil on fan belts but my fan belts complain after every rainfall and make noise ... also, even in dry weather, they always chirp at the final shut off of the engine. We had a heavy rain the night before I got the GIBBS, so I sprayed my fan belts before I started the truck up and I haven't heard a single peep out of them since! This is great!
Jerry also told me another cool story:"One fellow used GIBBS as a pre-treatment to painting/dying the vinyl. He did two items, which were seats from a mid 60's Nova - one was pre-treated with GIBBS and the other was treated with SEMS vinyl primer. The SEMS vinyl dye directions call for the item to be primed with the SEMS product first. When finished, the SEMS primed seat looked like it had been painted. The GIBBS pre-treated seat looked like it was new vinyl. He did the same test with hard plastic trim parts. The SEMS primed looked like they were painted (which they were). The GIBBS pre-treated items looked like they just dropped out of the mold."P.S. -- You can buy GIBBS from Jerry Here

Your candidates will experience countless hiring processes throughout their job search. From the time they search for jobs, to the application and interview processes, to any offers they may receive, every candidate will participate in something unique. And, depending on what the candidate experiences during that process, it will have an influence on whether or not a candidate takes a job they're offered.
4 Essential Areas of Improvement from Candidate Experience Measurement
Being able to effectively measure the candidate experience can have many different business impacts on your organization – even if only 51% of organizations understand the connection between talent strategies and business strategies. However, before your organization joins the 51% of organizations that are taking advantage of that connection, you must first understand where some of the potential benefits come from. According to Undercover Recruiter, there are four business-critical areas to evaluate.
- Employer Brand Improvement: This was the most-cited reason recruiters were focusing on the candidate experience, according to the Undercover Recruiter, coming in at 27%. Your company's brand is important, as it can influence what candidates will hear about you from their peers, what they'll read about you through various resources, and ultimately influence whether or not they want to apply to your organization. Measuring how your candidates evaluate their hiring experience and using that data to help improve the process will make a better candidate journey for future candidates – as well as keep your brand positive.
- Reducing Bad Hiring Decision Costs: The average customer contact bad hire will cost an organization at least $4,500, and that's not including any hidden costs that comes with continuous bad hiring or other areas that bad hires might influence. However, you can help reduce the risk of bad hires by learning about the experiences your candidates go through.
- Improving Hiring Times: The time it takes to bring a candidate in as an employee of the company is currently higher than average, but that doesn't mean that the process needs to be unnecessarily long. Make sure that you're hiring candidates in the right amount of time – not so long that it's costing you money by having vacancies, and not so rushed that it results in potential risky hires. Understand the experience, find areas that you can improve in the time it takes, and work towards making those improvements.
- Increasing the Quality-of-Hire: Everyone is looking for the best talent, but is the best talent looking for you? If you have worked out the other three areas above, then improve the probability that top candidates will seek your organization out – which is why you need to be prepared when they do. Measuring this can help improve the quality of the candidates you find by making sure that candidates have a chance to show their enthusiasm, energy, and most importantly qualifications – without getting drowned out by the rest of the applicant pool.
Getting the Most out of Measuring Candidate Experiences
Being able to measure the experience of your candidates is no small feat, but being able to do so drives opportunities and business benefits that makes things easier for your candidates and improves the quality of the employees you bring on, not to mention saving you money and reducing costs. The best place to start measuring is right in the hiring process itself. Using hiring assessments are a powerful resource in this - not only do they provide quality data you can refer back to and analyze, they can also provide accurate statistics that you can refer back to with other information. For example, if you're hearing feedback that candidates were losing focus during the hiring process and you see that one assessment was taking longer to complete than the others, you can make adjustments to that section to reduce test taking time and improve the experience. The result of this would be improvement to your employer brand (candidates would leave positive feedback about how smooth their process was), and increase the quality of your hired candidates, more candidates complete the process increasing your ability to be more selective).

Satellite stabilized by gravity gradient
The invention relates to a satellite which orbits the Earth or another planet and uses the gradient in the planet's gravity field for passive attitude control. The satellite is a combination of a first satellite body (12) equipped with instruments for operation of the satellite, a second satellite body (14) equipped with at least one instrument (24) for operation of the satellite and an elongate structure called a mast (16) which extends from the first satellite body (12) to the second satellite body (14) when the satellite is in an orbit about the planet. The total weight of the second satellite body (14) including the instrument(s) (24) is adjusted such that the second satellite body (14) serves as a gravitational balancing mass which is necessary for aligning the mast (16) along the direction of the gradient in the planet's gravity field and orienting a specific side of the first satellite body (12) toward the planet. The mast (16) is extensible and contractable to adjust the mast length according to the orbit altitude. Solar cell panels (20) can be mounted on outer surfaces of both the first and second satellite bodies.

Planetary impact defense system
A system for defending a planet having a satellite against impact from an incoming body includes an explosive system and a propulsion system. The explosive system is adapted for deployment on the satellite and detonation thereon with sufficient explosive force to produce at least one ejectum to which is imparted a velocity increment sufficient for the ejectum to exceed the satellite's escape velocity and enter orbit about the planet. The propulsion system is adapted to be secured to at least one ejectum and impart a velocity increment to the ejectum sufficient to leave orbit about the planet and enter an orbit intercepting the incoming body.The system is used in a planetary defense method in which the explosive system is deployed at a deployment site on the satellite and detonated to produce at least one ejectum having a velocity that exceeds the escape velocity of the satellite. The ejectum enters into orbit around the planet, at which time the propulsion system is secured to the ejectum to produce a projectile. The propulsion system is then activated to increase the velocity of the projectile, causing the projectile to enter into an intercept orbit targeting the incoming body and subsequently intercept and impact the incoming body. The impact prevents the incoming body from impacting the planet.

144.240 and .250 SSB nets *ON* tonight.
The 144.240 net called by WB9LYH in EN54cl is *ON*, with the usual 0100Z start, looking east into MI and beyond, if prop allows. Mark then swings clockwise, calling CQ, ending up looking north toward 0215-0230, I will be on 144.250 from EN63ao, calling the Badger Contesters net at 0230Z. I usually spend a good half hour with Milwaukee/Chicago locals before I start swinging the beams clockwise. If you're in eastern time zone, I may not look that way until 0330 or later.
If you want more details about the 144 nets on Wed., read this post: http://kc9bqa.com/?p=1780 Please read the 2nd paragraph and consider monitoring the net progress via www.on4kst.com real-time chat. A few dozen already follow along in the chat. In time, we're going to make Wed. a very wide-range activity night for 144 SSB, whether you can work our net or not. 20-30 guys working net control is OK, but dozens of guys taking charge and creating their own activity, in different directions is exactly what VHF/UHF needs.
Keep spreading the word. We've got good momentum. During the dead of winter, we've got 20-40 guys playing 144 SSB across multiple states and a few dozen grids. Can't wait until we get warmer weather and better propagation.
