Tonight's Art Moment is this intriguing assortment of ceramics. The 18th century marked the beginning of English figure manufacture on a commercial scale. Made with molds, these forms could be reproduced at a reasonable cost, which attracted the middle class, the main patrons of earthen and stoneware objects. While many animal forms were decorative, some also served as functional objects such as the Bear Jug, Camel Teapot and Hare Charger. The bear's detachable head becomes a cup for the contents of the jug. The camel and the Asian scenes on its howdah (the canopied saddle) allude to Europe's fascination with exotic lands. Leaping across the bold charger is an animated hare rendered in cream slip, its fluid quality conveying a sense of motion.

Hanna Rosin, in her recent book, “The End of Men,” argues that hooking up is a functional strategy for today’s hard-charging and ambitious young women, allowing them to have enjoyable sex lives while focusing most of their energy on academic and professional goals.

Learning Matters, Warts and All: Diary of a True Learning Organization

A Charging Station With a Little Fashion Sense

By ROY FURCHGOTT

The Idapt i4 is a charger that lets you trade four blocky wall wart chargers for one desktop wart -- but an attractive desktop wart.


The Wall Wart Collection
A power supply must provide sufficient voltage and sufficient current to a circuit to maintain the operating conditions of the circuit.
To charge a 9 Volt battery, a wall wart must put out at least 11 mA and a bit more than 9 volts. It must be DC.
The easiest thing to do is to check my wallwart collection for one with equal or greater specs.
Everyone has a wallwart collection, right?
