An older man at the New York Times circa 1920, I think.  he has a curved metal plate facing him that appears to have large Chinese letters on it, but I can't be certain.  He holds a brush in one hand, and wears a round cap with rounded brim.

French printers referred to the act of making a stereotype as 'clicher', an onomatopoeia that replicates the clicking sound they made.

The re-usable cast plate, the stereotype, was called a 'cliché'.

By 1946, the NY Times was melting 90,000 lbs (40,000 kg) of metal every night to make stereotypes.

Grumbling about the health of democracy can sound abstract. But its decline shows up in wars, coups, contested elections and curbs on civil liberties across the world. EIU, our sister organisation, has tracked that slide since 2006. But the latest update to its democracy index suggests a modest break in the trend: the scores of nearly three-quarters of countries held steady or improved over the past year, and the global index rose by 0.02 points—one of the biggest increases since 2012.

The reaction of Dr Kelsey Young at the Science Desk was one of the best things in the feed but I'd also like to acknowledge the dude in the lower left corner of the control room view doing his own little dance of joy during Jeremy Hansen's discussion of his corona observations. #Artemis

So, the hose that the crew was just told to put under the window came about because of a miss in development. At some point in development, we lost track of the requirement to manage condensation on the windows. When we realized this, it was too late to make big changes to the design.
