Mugen Power CF48

Heat dissipation from the wheel itself

Brakes are used to convert the kinetic energy of "running" into thermal energy generated by friction between the disc (drum) and the hub. The key is to convert kinetic energy into thermal energy, which has a deceleration effect.How much heat is released? Mugen focuses on the heat dissipation from the wheel itself, which is the heat transferred from the brake disk through the hub to the wheel. Mugen CF-48 has a large surface area to increase the heat dissipation effect. The disk part has a fin shape.The surface of the disc is equipped with an air cowl.The cowl generates a turbo effect together with the fins, increasing the heat dissipation effect and reducing the car's total air resistance.

Balanced and exclusive design

When a car travels at a speed of 100 km/h, the wheels rotate approximately 15 times per second. If the wheels are not set in the center, they will run 15 times per second. No matter how much weight tolerance you have, However, the method of determining the center using a general-purpose wheel or a Statholdt, which causes this pre-shimmy, may cause the center to be close to Imm. By matching, it is designed to ensure that it is always set on the wheel or center. The size of the center hub varies depending on the car. Unless it is a special wheel, it cannot be set directly on the center hub.

Matching by exclusive design

FF cars generally have a large offset value. This is subtly related to the suspension design. Each car manufacturer has a different suspension design with a different concept, so the wheels have offsets that match that concept. When the value is achieved, the performance intended by the suspension designer is demonstrated.The MUGEN CF-48 has been designed with subtle flavorings for each size based on thorough research into suspensions for Honda vehicles. The 13-inch wheels are designed for mild driving, while the 15-inch wheels are designed for sporty driving enjoyment.

Lighter weight and dedicated design

As of April 1984, among the cars sold by Honda, the one with the heaviest wheel load is the Biggar Hatchback TXL. The design was based on this assumption.If it were to be developed as a general-purpose wheel, the main load would have to be 740 kg. 740 kg vs. 315 kg, the difference is huge. The ideal wheel is required to be as strong as possible and lightweight.The MUGEN CF-48 is designed exclusively for Honda vehicles, so it can be used to create the ideal wheel without sacrificing safety at all. One step closer to lightweight wheels

Simultaneous development with race-specific

The Mugen CF-48 was not simply developed as a road wheel for commercially available cars; it was developed to participate in the N2 specification Honda City Turbo one-make race, which has been held at the Suzuka Circuit since 1984. At the same time, development is progressing as a dedicated wheel for racing city turbos. Race wheels were developed using the same concept as street wheels, and their heat dissipation effect, balance, lightness, and matching are all tested on the circuit. The know-how gained from competitive competition, where you are sometimes forced to drive beyond your limits, is directly fed back into the street wheels.

Lighter center part due to exclusive design

The wheels must be light. The higher the speed, the more the weight of the wheels will affect the driving performance.Designing them exclusively for Honda vehicles also has the advantage of reducing weight. All Honda vehicles have a unified P.C.D. value of 100mm. The wheel center part of Mugen CF-48 is sized for this purpose. No consideration was given to the P.C.D. value of 114.3mm, which is the case with general-purpose wheels. As a result, the wheel center diameter has been reduced by approximately 15mm. This resulted in a weight reduction of approximately 250g. The most important tuning method in motorsports, which is removing unnecessary parts and reducing weight, is on display here.

If you are interested in motorsports, you probably remember the name Mugen. Mugen, which was established in 1973 to strengthen the participation of Honda vehicles in motorsports, has to date won numerous titles in two-wheel and four-wheel motorsports around the world. The Honda V6 engine for the F-2, which achieved a high score of 6 wins out of 7 races in Japan's top racing series, the All Japan F-2 Championship in 1984, is produced by Mugen. Mugen continues to participate in motorsports in search of even more advanced technology.

7th March 1744 saw The Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers hold their first meeting on Leith Links.

The Gentlemen Golfers of Leith Links asked Edinburgh town council for a prize for an annual golf competition.  The golfers had been jealous of the local archers, who received a silver arrow from the town .council for a competition.

The Edinburgh town council presented the golfers with a silver golf club, to be played for, over Leith Links.  This was on the understanding that The Gentlemen Golfers of Leith Links set down rules that would govern the game of golf.

A committee of the Gentlemen Golfers of Edinburgh drafted the first 13 rules of golf to compete for a silver golf club, presented by the City of Edinburgh, over Leith Links. John Rattray, a physician and champion archer, was the first winner and was declared 'Captain of the Golf' on 2nd April 1744. The men were;

John Rattray (the winner) Hew Dalrymple, Robert Biggar, James Gordon, James Carmichael, Hon James Leslie, Richard Cockburn, George Suttie, William Crosse, James Veith, and David Dalrymple 

The event is commemorated in a plaque on the cairn on Leith Links. This was the first known organised golfing competition of any golf club in the world.

It was on the 7 March 1744 that The Gentlemen Golfers of Leith Links changed their name to the ‘Company of Edinburgh Golfers’. This group of golfers created the first 13 rules of golf.  

John Rattray, who won the first annual competition, signed off these rules, as captain. The ‘Company of Edinburgh Golfers’ later became the ‘Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers’ and now reside at Muirfield in East Lothian, Scotland.

The fact that rules were drawn up was very important for the development of the game. It ensured regulation and set the benchmark for the sport moving forward.  

These rules formed the basis of the modern game and led to Scotland being viewed as the ancestral Home of Golf.

The original cairn which commemorates Leith Links as the Home of Golf, still lies in The Links close to where a recent statue of Rattray now stands. Three stoma plinths were also added near there with a lot of the history on plaques.

The Gentlemen Golfers built a clubhouse at Leith in 1768. Until then, they usually met in a tavern called Luckie Clephan's, on Kirkgate, now demolished, near the foot of Leith Walk, the clubhouse is long gone, the Leith Academy Secondary School building now stands there. Overcrowding at the Links forced a move out of Edinburgh.

Known by various names, the Gentlemen Golfers became 'The Honourable, the Edinburgh Company of Golfers' in 1800. Subsequently, this was streamlined to the present 'Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers'.

In 1865 they built a new clubhouse in Links Place at Musselburgh, now a children's nursery at 6 Balcarres Road. 

Soon overcrowding at Musselburgh, as at Leith, forced Honourable Company to move again, settling on another racecourse, further down the coast, the site of the East Lothian horse races on the Hundred Acres Park owned by the Rt Hon Nisbet Hamilton. This was the Muirfield course, designed by Old Tom Morris.  The first 16 holes, built by 'hand and horse', were opened on 3rd May 1891, with the final two holes added in December of the same year. The Open championship moved with them and is still held there from time to time, although, since 1919 the Hon Company have no longer been involved in its management.

The geographical term, The Home of Golf, will always be associated with Scotland, in the eyes of the golfing world.  However, in Scotland, at its golfing core, Leith Links is the place where the term finds its origin, in the modern-day game.

Story Idea; title Canadian Zed

A group of Saskatchewan kids make a band, calling it Canadian Zed.

They focus on Canadian-isms, particularly the west.

They write their own songs about particularly Canadian things, Saskatchewan things, events that they grew up with.

Most if not all are from Saskatoon and surrounding areas.

Will only cover songs that could be considered Canadian.

At least one went to school at both (redacted) and (redacted).

Perhaps one at Tommy Douglas, Walter Murray, Marion Graham, Henry Kelsey, Pleasant Hill, Caswell, Queen Victoria, ED Feean (mix of elementary and high schools)

Mix of boys and girls.

They don’t really stick to on genre country/folk/pop/rap/alternative/punk

None of them expect to make it big, who wants to hear a bunch of people sing about western Canada? Most likely not most people.

One of them First Nations or Métis 

List of songs

Blizzard of ‘07 (The day the city shut down.)

Half way to Davidson

Just past Chamberlain 

Bloody cold weather

Poutine, toques, and toboggans

Dry heat when it comes

Sweet home Saskatoon (Parody of sweet home Alabama.)

Making a name Canadian style

Saskatoon, the biggest city (in Saskatchewan)

Saskatchewan Phrases (from bunnyhugs to vi-co)

We got lakes

Manitou, Saskatchewan’s place to float (our one personal Dead Sea)

An ode to Gordie Howe

The confusing world of Canada

Identity crisis

Canada's boring history 

When we fight

What the east wants (it gets)

Feeling forgotten

First Nations were here first

Paris of the prairies

Americans laugh at Saskatchewan's capital 

Ditch the province (Alberta's the place to be, or at least it was)

Saskatoon berries 

Gophers everywhere

Big names, Saskatchewan connection 

New York is big... but this is Biggar 

Moose Jaw has a connection to Al Capone 

Saskatchewan Riders, Rush, and now Rattlers (bring your green)

Z(ed)

Not Justin Beiber's Sorry

The Bonanza burned down

No more eat in Pizza Huts 

Midtown Plaza, The Centre, Confed, and Marketmall

Circle drive/ring road

Last ditch nice weather as fall changes

Pow wow days

Ribbon dresses and star blankets

Teepees are real, symbolisms behind them

Not Indians

Small towns

Metric rules, but we still use imperial too

Insulin is our jam

WWI hero

Canadian heritage moments 

I wanna house hippo

Canadian seasons

Construction season 

Cold season 

Saskatchewan Riders, Rush, and now Rattlers (bring your green)

Before River Landing

Down at the Bez

oOo

Bring your green,

And let’s go to a game,

Bring your green,

And we'll make a sea,

Bring your green,

No, this isn’t about Canadian grammar, words, or pronunciation. It isn’t about how Canada is different from the USA or anything like that. This is a story about a band, group of us who decided that we wanted some more Saskatchewan influence in the world, and decided to name ourselves Canadian Zed, because a radio DJ referred to ZZ Top as Zed Zed Top, being the proper Canadian that he is, fully knowing that’s not the proper way to pronounce it. Though this isn’t a story about our formation either. This is our story of hoping to gain some audience in Saskatchewan and maybe the rest of Canada. We didn’t expect to make it big at all, and we’re not on a global scale, but we’ve found our place and rock it.

And cheer on your favourite team

oOo

RTWW Locations

As a production designer, one of my most important things to keep in mind is how I will be working alongside the locations. Our chosen locations are:

Massage Parlour: Soul Retreat, 2 Biggar Road

Buster and Janet’s Flat: Director Luca’s Flat

The Office: Edinburgh Training and Conference Centre

Street: Archibald Place

Unfortunately I wasn’t available for the Office and Massage Parlour recces but I had been to Luca’s flat before so knew how that would look. I asked for them to take plenty of pictures for me so I could get an idea of how they may look.

Obviously, for the massage parlour, there was not much designing for me to do as it already looked like a massage parlour. My main concern for this location is moving items around in accordance with the camera movements, avoiding any branding on products (to avoid accidentally promoting them) and bringing along items which the actors interact with. This is similar for my situation with the office room, but for this I also need to keep an eye on the actor’s costumes, as there is going to be a lot of changing around.

Luca’s flat would be my biggest project for production design. I was to turn a student flat into a homely, lived in environment for a couple, representing each of their personalities in this space. It would involve moving furniture around to create space and depth, putting up paintings and things on the wall, and general household items. The whole room is needing to be designed due to the pan of the space which Luca has planned for the opening shot. We have scheduled a day free before we shot at that location so I will have time to bring all of the props and background items and set the room up before filming.

I organised to meet Luca at the location for the street scene as this would be where I needed to put up the posters in accordance with the actors blocking. We talked through the plan for the shot, and where I would need to stick up the background posters, as well as where an actor will need to stand holding the main poster. Below is a picture we took to get an idea of what the shot will look like.

Happy birthday to Micky Dolenz!

“Micky has a practical side that he tries to hide behind his jokes and imitations, but it’s there nevertheless. I’m not practical at all, so I admire this in him.” - Peter Tork, Flip, August 1967

“[Director Jim Frawley,] whom I liked and who started with a great deal of will. But Micky thought he was too square. Micky didn’t feel Frawley was freaking out. Micky is freaking out, though... and he has already passed the stage where I hope to be. I have a great admiration for Micky.” - NME, January 13, 1968

“[N]o one of us really supported any of the others except that, that I like to think that I tried to support Micky in a way which, for some reason, he never did pick up on. I mean, I think that Micky has a certain kind of genius that he was never able to acknowledge in himself.” - Peter Tork, Headquarters radio, September 1989

“I’ve always thought that Micky was far more creative than he ever gave himself credit for. He’s a vastly more talented individual than he’s aware of.” - Peter Tork, Headquarters 1995 liner notes

Micky’s 1971 single “Easy On You”/”Oh Someone” was co-arranged by Peter (with Micky and David Price). "Coincidentally, "Oh Someone" came together after a chance encounter Price had with Peter in 1971. The superb liner notes of the MGM Singles Collection, written by Mark Kleiner Biggar, elaborated on the meeting. 'I was walking down the street in Hollywood when I looked up and there was Peter,' said Price. 'We hadn't seen each other in a while, and he said, "I'm recording up at Micky's; why don't you come up?"' The song took a few hours to record, and featured Price on rhythm guitar, Peter on bass, and Micky behind the drums." - Monkees Live Almanac blog post, December 2015

“Micky’s a comedic minimalist. When we go on the road, Micky’s drum will say DRUM. There’s a photo of us in our hippy gear and Micky’s wearing a headband and the beads spell out BEADS.” - Peter Tork, Uncut, July 2011

“I’m just delighted to be onstage with [Micky and his always great voice]. You know, that — that my fortunes are such that I’m allowed onstage with that is a true blessing in my world.” - Peter Tork, BBC WM, 2015

On 7th March 1744, the world's first golf club was founded in Edinburgh.

After the "banning" of sports covered in yesterday's post, just under 3 centuries later attitudes had softened, the country was no longer at war, although a year after the Honourable Golfers played their first game the '45 uprising happened with Bonnie Prince Charlies escapades, which really put the beginnings of the sport into context.

  In 1744, a committee of the Gentlemen Golfers of Edinburgh drafted the first 13 rules of golf to compete for a silver golf club, presented by the City of Edinburgh, over Leith Links. John Rattray, a physician and champion archer, was the first winner and was declared 'Captain of the Golf' on 2nd April 1744.

The event is commemorated in a plaque on the cairn on Leith Links. This was the first known organised golfing competition of any golf club in the world. The gift of a silver club as the prize was inspired by the fact that the City of Edinburgh gifted a silver arrow to the Royal Company of Archers in 1709. The silver club was paraded through Edinburgh with the 'tuck o' the drum' as pictured in a print by David Allen 1787.

Eleven players are thought to have taken part in the first competition. They were:- John Rattray (the winner), Hew Dalrymple, Robert Biggar, James Gordon, James Carmichael,  Hon James Leslie, Richard Cockburn, George Suttie, William Crosse, James Veith., and David Dalrymple.

  Duncan Forbes, President of the Court of Session, put his name down for the competition, but did not play as may James Veith, whose name is not on the day's record. The players were important and well-known people in Edinburgh, and several had been mentioned in a mock-heroic poem called The Goff, written in 1743 by Thomas Mathison about the golfers at Leith.

For the first twenty years the Leith competition was 'open' to all golfers, but from 1764, with the agreement of the City of Edinburgh, it was limited to members of the Leith club. Golf was becoming popular and there was the possibility of the competition being won by somebody of whom the club members did not approve. It had, in any case, really always been an annual club championship.  The first proper 'Open' golf competition was not until  1861 at Prestwick.  In 1872, the Gentlemen Golfers appointed the first golf Chaplain, Dr John Dun, whose first act as Chaplain was to say grace after dinner.

The Gentlemen Golfers built a clubhouse at Leith in 1768. Until then, they usually met in a tavern called Luckie Clephan's, on Kirkgate, now demolished, near the foot of Leith Walk. There is a minute on 2nd July 1768 recording the foundation ceremony for the 'Golf House', as it was called. It was sold in 1833. Eventually it was demolished and the Leith Academy Secondary School was built on the site in 1931. This became part of Queen Margaret College and is now flats.

Known by various names, the Gentlemen Golfers became 'The Honourable, the Edinburgh Company of Golfers' in 1800. Subsequently, this was streamlined to the present 'Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers'.

At the beginning of the 19th Century, with the Napoleonic Wars raging, Leith Links had become overcrowded and golf was declining in popularity, or at least, being a member of a golf club was. Many golf clubs disappeared. In 1831, The Honourable Company fell into particular financial difficulties through heavy mortgaging, misappropriation of funds and third party guarantees for others' debts, eventually owing several hundred pounds. An 'administrator' was appointed, and in 1833 the club's early treasures were sold off for £106 but failed to clear the debts, so the clubhouse at Leith was also sold raising £1,130. No competitions were held from 1831-1835.

With their financial matters settled, the Honourable Company moved to Musselburgh in 1836, then an eight-hole golf course inside the racetrack. They also played the West Links at North Berwick during the summer months, as they had to share Musselburgh with several other clubs.

The practice of declaring the winner of the Silver Club as Captain for the next year ceased after 1837 and election became the norm. Possibly, the members felt that the best golf player did not necessarily make the most suitable chairman of the club's financial affairs.

In 1865 they built a new clubhouse in Links Place at Musselburgh, now a children's nursery at 6 Balcarres Road.

  In 1872, the Honourable Company began co-sponsoring the championship with Prestwick and the Royal & Ancient golf clubs.  The competition was held in rotation at the three sponsor clubs and therefore it was held six times at Musselburgh between 1874 and 1889 while the Hon Co were there. Soon overcrowding at Musselburgh, as at Leith, forced Honourable Company to move again, settling on another racecourse, further down the coast, the site of the East Lothian horse races on the Hundred Acres Park owned by the Rt Hon Nisbet Hamilton. This was the Muirfield course, designed by Old Tom Morris.  

The first 16 holes, built by 'hand and horse', were opened on 3rd May 1891, with the final two holes added in December of the same year. The Open championship moved with them and is still held there from time to time, although, since 1919 the Hon Company have no longer been involved in its management.

Happy 64th Birthday Scottish actor Ron Donachie.

Born Ronald Eaglesham Porter in Dundee on April 26th 1956  Ron might not be a household name, but is a weel kent face on our screens during the last 40 years or so.

He was educated at Madras College, St. Andrews and Glasgow University, from where he graduated with an M.A (Hons.) in English Literature and Drama in 1979. After a year working as a navvy, he joined the 7.84 theatre company for the play "One Big Blow", in which the cast mimicked a traditional, colliery band by singing in six part harmony. The success of the play led to the formation of the acapella band "The Flying Pickets", who had a Christmas number one in 1983. Donachie's decision not to stay with the band and thereby missing out on their success has been described by him as "one of my more brilliant career decisions."

Throughout the 1980s, he was a prolific theatre performer all across the British Isles,  now largely vanished repertory system. This afforded him the opportunity to act in many classical plays which are now rarely performed due to budget constraints and closed theatres. During this period, he appeared in over twenty plays at the Glasgow Citizens' Theatre. Like many performers with similar experience, he considers this the happiest, most fruitful and most influential phase of his career.

That's not to say he wasn't on TV in the 80's, firstly I would like to say he probably appeared in more episodes of Taggart than any other person, except the regular cast, clocking up five appearances all as different characters between 1987 and 2006.

The first thing I remember Don in was the brilliant Tutti Fruiti, with Robbie Coltrane, Richard Wilson and Maurice Roëves, he was also in 15 episodes of the old Scottish soap, Take the High Road as  Duncan Strachan.

The 90's saw his TV career really take off, parts in Taking over the Asylum, The Governor, Cracker and Looking after JoJo, as well as playing the Master at Arms in the Oscar winning film Titanic.

Into the new century and I think some of us will recall Don, in what I think is his most well known role as DCI Andrew Ross in the long running cop soap The Bill. Then Silent Witness, The Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, Rebus and Stone of Destiny to name but a few.

In the past few years Game of Thrones fans will have known him as Rodrik Cassel, or if you like last weeks birthday boy James James McAvoy in Filth, Don played the part of Hector. He was in casualty for a number of episodes, The brilliant mini series The Loch, and just this year was in Deadwater Fell with David Tennant. Don also appeared in the Bruce bio-film Outlaw King as Robert Wishart, Bishop of Glasgow.

Married on St. Patrick's Day 1989 to Fiona Biggar, the couple have two grown up children.
