I want to introduct something about PS2 Matrix Infinity SE. The Matrix Infinity SE is a clone of the original Matrix Infinity range of PS2 mod chips. Now at the lowest prices ever for this kind of chip. There are a few clones of the Matrix floating around, Modbo, NH7 and some more. The good thing about these chips is you are getting most of the functions of the original Matrix Infinity at the fraction of the cost. The down side is they are clones and you can't expect all the functions of the official chip in a clone. They can only be flashed with bios versions up to 1.40 and you are not able to change settings in the config menu without hurting the chip. With that said, these chips are extremly good value for money, if you are just happy for the chip to work as is and not need to update, these chips will be for you. The Matrix Infinity SE clone is compatible with v5 - v12 consoles. This includes the new PSTwo Slimline. The Matrix Infinity SE also has auto media detection for direct booting. Another great feature of this chip is all region dvd support. The Matrix
Dymkovo toys, also known as the Vyatka toys or Kirov toys (?????????? ???????, ??????? ???????, ????????? ??????? in Russian) are moulded painted clay figures of people and animals (sometimes in the form of a pennywhistle). It is one of the old Russian folk art handicrafts, which still exists in a village of Dymkovo near Kirov (former Vyatka). Traditionally, the Dymkovo toys are made by women.
The tradition of making pennywhistles in the form of a horse, a horserider, and a bird goes back to the ancient magic ritual images and has to do with the agricultural calendar holidays. Later on, little figures lost their magic meaning and turned into toys for children, the making of which would become an artistic handicraft. Up until the 20th century, this toy production had been timed to the spring fair called ?????????, or whistler (first recorded mentioning took place in 1811). In the late 19th century, this handicraft fell into decline because the Dymkovo toys had been forced out of the market by the factory-made moulded plaster statuettes, which imitated porcelain articles. During the Soviet times, the Dymkovo handicraft was revived. In 1933, they organized an artel called ??????? ??????? (The Vyatka Toy), which would turn into a workshop of the Artistic Fund of the RSFSR (?????????????? ???? ?????). These days, the Dymkovo toys are known as a popular Russian souvenir.
The Dymkovo toys are moulded from a mixture of local potter's clay and river sand. The parts of a toy are then fastened together with watery clay. After the toys are dried and tempered in a furnace, they are whitewashed with chalk diluted in milk, then painted with tempera (before 1953, the artists used aniline paints ground with eggs) in 4 to 10 (or more) colors, and decorated with gold leafs.
Modern Dymkovo toys include ancient motifs, as well as those of the second half of the 19th century, such as ?????? (barynyas, or landladies), ?????? (nyanki, or nannies), ????????? (vodonoski, or female watercarriers) and others. In the 1930s, the Dymkovo toys began to depict fairy tales and contemporary lifestyle. There were also multi-character compositions on stands, figures of people taller than 30 cm and others. Massive, abstract, and somewhat grotesque forms of the Dymkovo toys are emphasized by ruffles, puffed collars, and other features. Improvised bright painting of the toys represents a geometric ornament of circles, checks, and dots of different colors and sizes.
