Rhomboid.

Not sure why I like these two so much, but I decided to draw them in the style of the reboot.

Found a neat rock while walking the dog.

Eclogite

This is a thin section of the eclogite, a very high-grade metamorphic rock that forms deep within Earth’s crust. For this reason, it is quite rare to find it on the surface. Red and rhomb shaped crystals are garnets whereas bluish/green minerals among them is omphacite, a rare mineral which forms at very high-pressure conditions.

This rock has characteristic red-green physical appearance making it quite a pretty outcrop. It is also very dense/heavy and for this very reason it is known to drive plate tectonics, bring the continents on our planet together.

Example from the hearth of the Himalaya, Tso Moriri.

The Schlitz Rhomboid

This publication came out in 1951 and was created as “a common meeting ground for the many thousands of people near and far whose efforts are associated with Schlitz.”

We are showing some selections from Volume 1, Number 1. The cover of which features a lovely winter scene (a view we are currently missing here in Wisconsin). The glossy pages and impressively modern design are exemplary of a business that had been 103 years without a change of ownership in 1951.

In today’s selection is an article that talks about the history of the brewery, including the men who founded and ran it: August Krug, August Uihlein, and Joseph Schlitz. There are also renderings of the buildings that housed the ever-growing operations in Milwaukee.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a full run of this publication but be assured that we will be sharing selections of what we do have with you. If you are able to visit the UWM Archives the publication is available to use in our reading room.

So, why the rhomboid?

The rhomboid is the shape of the first paper label which was applied to bottles of Schlitz beer back in the early days when paper labels were first used.

And so the rhomboid...inscribed with the signature of Joseph Schlitz...has been familiar to people all over the world for more than half a century. That is why we have chosen the name “The Schlitz Rhomboid” for the publication which with this issue makes its initial bow to our friends.

Gearán amháin: Cén fáth nach gcuireann daoine na plátaí meáchain agus na dumbbells ar ais ina n-áit i gceart? Go háirithe na dumbbells — agus na barbells chomh maith. Fágann siad ina n-áiteanna míchearta iad; dáiríre, níl aon dua ag baint leis iad a chur ar ais san áit a mbaineann siad leo.

Smaoineamh don todhchaí: Slabhra giomnáisiam a chruthú a dhíríonn go príomha ar shláinte mheabhrach. Tá an chuid is mó de na giomnáisiam inniu torannach—fuaimeanna arda, soilse saorga, aerchóiriú reoite... Ach go hionraic, do go leor daoine a théann chuig an giomnáisiam, is í an tsláinte an phríomhsprioc i ndáiríre. Agus áirítear leis sin sláinte mheabhrach freisin. Creidim go n-aontódh go leor daoine liom: Cad a tharlódh dá mbeadh slabhra giomnáisiam ann a dhíríonn ar shláinte mheabhrach agus ar spreagthaigh *a laghdú* in ionad ró-spreagadh? Giomnáisiam *gan* ceol—más mian leat éisteacht le ceol, is féidir leat do chluasáin féin a thabhairt leat, agus tá sin ceart go leor. Fuaim an trealaimh féin amháin. Soilsiú atá chomh nádúrtha agus is féidir—fuinneoga oscailte, solas na gréine, aeráil nádúrtha nuair is féidir—agus limistéar leathoscailte le mataí le haghaidh síneadh agus meáchain saora. Sea, bheadh an trealamh giomnáisiam caighdeánach go léir ann, ach leis na buntáistí breise seo. Deirim é seo mar go dtéim chuig an giomnáisiam ag iarraidh scíth a ligean, ach tá an iomarca ró-spreagadh amhairc agus éisteachta ann. I mo ghiomnáisiam aislingeach, bheadh gairdín oscailte le crainn agus solas na gréine sa chrios síneadh agus meáchain shaora. Bheadh faiche ann d'aon duine ar mian leis aclaíocht a dhéanamh ar an bhféar. Bheadh cead dul cosnochta ar fud an ghiomnáisiam, ach amháin sa phláta meáchain agus sa limistéar meáchain shaora (ar chúiseanna sábháilteachta). Mar sin féin, sna ceantair ina bhfuil meaisíní cábla agus meaisíní meáchain roghnaithe, bheadh cead dul cosnochta. Bheadh sé beagnach cosúil le "giomnáisiam páirce". Agus sa limistéar níos dúnta, amach ó na fuinneoga, d'fhéadfadh uisceadán ingearach álainn, mór a bheith ann. Smaoineamh amháin. Nuair a bheinn saibhir, is cinnte go mbeidh an giomnáisiam seo ina réaltacht. Giomnáisiam 24 uair an chloig.
