Candelabra Double WavyThe source for this design: www.thecuriositygallery.com/product/

Candlestick-double-wavy

 

PLUS: Wavy candlesticks are not seen everywhere and are therefore rare. One candle is slightly higher which will probably help when lighting them. It will match in homes that have other curvy designs.

 

MINUS: I cannot see the base of this candelabra in this photo, but it probably doesn’t match with this wavy design. The tips that hold the dish are thin and are therefore fragile. The height of this candelabra probably does not match with its width.

INTERESTING: Using iron to make this wavy design is an original idea. Until now I had only seen straight rod candlesticks and so it caught my eye. I would like to know how this candelabra was made. I don’t think there was anything in this design that I could incorporate into my own.

http://www.irondesign.co.nz/PicsHotel/IronDesign/Images/tallweddingcandelabra%205.jpgPLUS: The base has four legs that are also supported by four curved rods. The middle of the long rod has something like a curl.

MINUS: If the candle falls or something happens, the plant may be burnt and  the candelabra will start a fire. If no plant is placed in the middle, The candelabra may not look as good. If someone accidentally kicked the candelabra in the middle of the long rod, it would definitely fall. (Unless it is heavy)

INTERESTING: I liked the idea of combining plants with candles. The candelabra does not need to be placed on a table since it is tall. I learned that not all candelabras are placed on another object. However I did not gain inspiration.

MINUS: If more longer candles were placed on the dishes, it would not balance as well. (I think)

INTERESTING: The number of legs is 3, which is an odd number, and the number of dishes is 5, which is also an odd number.

PLUS: The bottom of this candelabra is designed to be heavy so that it won’t become unbalanced.

MINUS: The welding has to be done properly or the candle dishes will fall with the curved rod.

INTERESTING: The simple design. Since our designs can only have one candle dish, I will not copy this candelabra. But I am interested in welding curved rods onto other pieces.

http://www.irondesign.co.nz/PicsHotel/IronDesign/Images/jill%20191.jpgPLUS: The bottom is round and stable. The four curls match each other. The two rods in the middle hold the middle dish up.

MINUS: The real candelabra might fall over if the candle is too heavy. The black thing in the middle is not really needed for the curls however it might be useful when moving the candelabra.

 

INTERESTING: I originally wanted to use curls, but I decided not to after I understood that what we were making was a candelabra. This design might be a little too hard for me.

http://www.justleisure.com.au/images/Candelabra_Single_Table_pillar.jpgPLUS: Four legs support a single dish.

MINUS: Attaching the dish to a thin rod would not be easy.

INTERESTING: This is the first single dish candelabra that I have found on the internet. I would like to copy it except the binder in the middle doesn’t look like it can be created in the classroom and I have already made up a different design.

I didn’t find a candelabra that could be made in a technology classroom at first, and so I have decided to use some ideas of the above candelabras but create something different.

 It is the first time I have ever done ‘real’ metalwork.

Australian Icons Research

  Australian Icons Research- Why and How is Qantas Airlines Iconic? In March 1919, W Hudson Fysh and Paul McGinness became interested in a competition sponsored by the Government. They were unable to receive funding, and so, on 18 August 1919, in a Model T Ford, they began an assignment from the Defence Department to check a different competition route. It was during these 51 days when their determination grew to allow outback Queenslanders and people of North Australia have access to a more reasonable way of life. The key to this was air transport. Fergus McMaster, a wealthy grazier who was friends with McGinness, was the primary supporter of this new idea. He was Chairman in the beginning. The formation of the original Qantas company (Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Limited.) was in 16 November 1920. The well-known ‘QANTAS’ was created from the acronym of this first name. Joy riding and demonstration flights were undertaken with two expertly modified old plane...

reverse-engineering

  Whether it's rebuilding a car engine or diagramming a sentence, people can learn about many things simply by taking them apart and putting them back together again. That, in a nutshell, is the concept behind reverse-engineering—breaking something down in order to understand it, build a copy or improve it.   A process that was originally applied only to hardware, reverse-engineering is now applied to software, databases and even human DNA. Reverse-engineering is especially important with computer hardware and software. Programs are written in a language, say C++ or Java, that's understandable by other programmers. But to run on a computer, they have to be translated by another program, called a compiler, into the ones and zeros of machine language. Compiled code is incomprehensible to most programmers, but there are ways to convert machine code back to a more human-friendly format, including a software tool called a decompiler.   Reverse-engineering is used for m...

ADDENDUM FOR BIOLOGY NATURAL SELECTION

Geographical isolation is characterised in this experiment by the difference of the swamp and forest and the existence of a desert in between the two ecosystems. Natural features are the main cause of isolation. These include rivers and mountain ranges. The geographical isolation of landmasses by continental drift is another good example. In general, reproductive isolation is the inability of related or different species breeding due to differences involving many factors. These include geographical, behavioural, physiological, or genetic barriers or differences (isolating mechanisms). Speciation could occur in this simulation in various ways. There are many types or modes of speciation. Since the yellow frogs in the swamp have very little variation, they will be much less likely to survive when the environment changes. If we suppose the forest became a bush, the frogs would have a higher chance of survival. In our simulation there was no movement between the two ecosystems. If the sw...
