Some background:
The Kawasaki Ki-78 was originally designated KEN III and was a high-speed research aircraft developed to investigate laminar profile wings with high wing loadings. Early in 1938 a high-speed research program was started at the Aeronautical Research Institute of the University of Tokyo for a small single-seat aircraft.
The KEN III, designed at the Aeronautical Research Institute and built at Kawasaki Kokuki Kogyo K.K. to investigate flying behaviour at very high speed. All-metal construction was used in combination with a small thin wing with a laminar flow profile and a sharp leading edge. Furthermore, the research aircraft featured a streamlined minimum cross-section fuselage and was fitted with a licence-built Daimler-Benz DB 601A engine. For short duration power boost methanol/water injection was used, and cooling was improved by a 45 kW (60 hp) turbine driven cooling fan for the radiators in the rear fuselage flanks, leaning the wings as clean as possible.
By the outbreak of the war, the whole project was taken over by the Imperial Japanese Army who gave it the military type designation Ki-78. Kawasaki received the order to build two prototypes of the Ki-78, construction of which was started in September 1941. The first was completed more than a year later and was flown for the first time on 26 December 1942.
The engineers had ambitious plans: beyond the experimental nature of the aircraft the Ki-78 was earmarked for the absolute flying top speed record and the IJA was highly interested in a fast fighter derivative.
However, the Ki-78 was found to be extremely difficult to fly at low speeds and had poor stall characteristics. The aircraft was heavier than the design estimates, which increased the wing loading. Even with the special flaps and drooping ailerons, takeoff and landing speeds were both high at 127 mph (205 km/h) and 106 mph (170 km/h) respectively. In addition, elevator flutter was experienced at the relatively low speed of 395 mph (635 km/h).
High-speed flight tests were started in April 1943, and during the Ki-78’s 31st flight on 27 December, the aircraft achieved its maximum speed of 434.7 mph (699.6 km/h) at 11,572 ft (3,527 m). While this was basically an impressive performance, this was considerably less than the program’s speed goal of 528 mph (850 km/h). A feasibility study to improve the Ki-78 flight performance showed that extensive airframe modifications were needed and consequently the project was officially terminated after the 32nd flight on 11 January 1944. The second Ki-78 was never completed.
The single Ki-78 survived the war, but it was crushed by American forces at Gifu Air Field in 1945.

The kit and its assembly:
Another group build contribution, again for the Arawasi Wild Eagles Blog which ran its sixth competitionn in late 2017 under the motto "Prototypes" (no whifs). As a consequence, this is a real-world aircraft, depicting the only Ki-78 prototype late in ist career, when it eventually carried an all-orange livery with photo calibration markings.
The kit is of AZ Model’s Ki-78, and this one is actually the leftover sister ship of the early two-kit-boxings that was converted into a fictional Ki-78 Kai fighter that was thought about, but never realized.
The kit is simple and a typical short-run offering. You need some experience to get it together and expect rather mediocre fit and some putty work. Even though I built it mostly OOB I did some changes:
- A rear bulkhead was added in the cockpit
- Different main wheels were mounted
- Added struts for the landing gear covers.
- The propeller received a new, longer axis construction
Painting and markings:
AZ Models offer the prototype in two liveries, the early NMF Ki-78 and the late scheme of the aircraft in overall orange. While this sounds simple, finding an appropriate tone that resembles the IJA trainer and prototype orange is not easy. Among the choice of six potential tones I eventually settled for Humbrol's 82 (Orange Lining), and for the basic painting I added a bit of 132 (Red Satin). Evyrething was painted with brushed.
After an initial overall coat the kit received a light black ink wash and panels were highlighted through post-shading/dry-brushing, and panel lines enhanced with a thin, very soft pencil.
All interior surfaces were painted with Aodake primer - actually a clear blue lacquer. In order to mimic this look, Cockpit and landing gear wells/covers were initially painted with aluminum (Revell 99), and, once dry, overpainted with a turquise, water-based clear window paint - a great contrast to the orange.
The decals come from the OOB sheet, and I added small markings at the wing tips - since only BW pics are available from the original Ki-78 I assume that these are white? Another addition are silver heat protection shields behind the exhaust stubs, also created with generic decal sheet.
After a little exhaust soot on the flanks with graphite the kit was sealed with acrylic varnish, in this case with a 4:1 mix of matt and gloss varnish, for a light shine.
A simple kit, realized relatively quickly, since it posed no major challenges. The result looks good, though, an elegant and beefy, small aircraft, and the orange livery stands out well.

"I rode to Downall Green, near Wigan, a town wicked to a proverb. We had a specimen of the manners of its inhabitants in the behaviour of a man that met us, and accosted us with such language as would have become an inhabitant of the bottomless pit. One would have thought, from their looks, that a good part of the congregation was of the same spirit; but in a short time the word of God prevailed, and all their fierceness melted away."
[Journal of John Wesley, Wednesday 9 May 1759]
Wesley's journal mentions another visit to Downall Green on 13 April 1761, but exactly where he preached and what drew him to the location is not recorded. Almost a century elapsed before the Independent Methodist church now situated on Victoria Road was established. The following information about it is extracted from "A Short History of Independent Methodism: A Souvenir of The Hundredth Annual Meeting of The Independent Methodists Churches, 1905”. (A contemporary photograph of the church appears on p.70.)
“Under the older name of Brockstage, the Church at Downall Green began to exist in the [eighteen-]thirties...
The circumstances which brought about its establishment are as yet unknown. Meetings commenced in the cottage of Thomas Clarke, a nail-maker, who along with Thomas Cotton, Peter Fearnley and David Pilling (so far as is known) were the pioneers of the movement. Sunday school work does not seem to have been undertaken in the cottage. The weekly class and prayer meetings were held, for many years Henry Anderton, of Billinge, walking six miles to conduct the Monday evening class. After a number of years, the meeting place was transferred to the cottages of three of its members, in Church Street, where meetings were successfully held. As a result of numerical progress, the meeting-place for the Sunday services was transferred to a nail-maker's cellar near the cottages. This more permanent building at once became the scene of efforts to win the young, Sunday school work being immediately undertaken. Meetings were also held in a barn in the adjoining village of Sims Lane End organised and conducted by one or two members of the cellar, and an annual camp meeting was held in the village. After a few years' successful work in the cellar, the members (now numbering about twelve) thought that the progress made justified the erection of a school chapel. This was accomplished at a cost of £200, and provided sitting accommodation for about 100 people. The new premises were opened in October, 1869. For a little more than 20 years, successful work was executed. In 1892 the increase of scholars created new demands for accommodation. After due consideration, and having been fortunate in securing a most suitable site (which embraces within a radius of half a mile the three villages of Downall Green, Garswood and Sims Lane End) it was unanimously decided to erect a school chapel at a cost of £800. The foundation stones were laid on New Year's Day, 1894*, and the opening services were held in June, 1894. The sitting accommodation is for 300. A little more than twelve months ago, the lack of Sunday school accommodation was again felt, and it was decided to enlarge the existing premises at a cost of £400. The new school has been built behind the Church and has accommodation for 200 scholars.
The Church is the only Methodist, and indeed the only Free Church, in a wide area. At present it is wielding a great influence in the district, having a splendid school of more than 200 scholars and 60 Church members.”
*The inscriptions on the four stones are now badly weathered and hard to decipher. So far as I can make out they were laid by Thomas Barton and Joseph Barton -both of Warrington-, Margaret Barton of Wigan and Mr Molyneux, Surgeon, MRCS LRCP of Ashton. The latter is possibly John Pendlebury Molyneux, 1867-1900, who in 1895 was residing at Roslyn House, Wigan Road, Ashton in Makerfield. He also seems to have been involved in the establishment of an IM church at Spring View.
The Victoria Road building is registered under the Places of Worship Registration Act 1855 as an Independent Methodist Church (registration no. 42370; indicating registration in the period 27.10.1906-18.6.1907 – but registration is/was not compulsory except for the purpose of enabling marriages to be celebrated on the premises).
A photograph of the Downall Green IM AFC squad for 1922/3 is included in the Archive Photographs Series book, “Around Ashton-In-Makerfield and Golborne” (1997).

So frustrating it's not properly sharp, worth putting on though I thought, at least it's not another badger. The same red kite that was being chased over our house in April. Shooting the badgers by remote's gone wrong already 'cause the stupid thing's conked out again, could anything else go wrong, hmmphhh.

Most of the anti-social behaviour which I witnessed concerned modifiations to late victorian terraces. I except stone cladding generally.
Psychiatry: Schizophrenia (Understanding Disease Series)-When a person feels hallucination, delusions and his behaviour becomes disorganised, it shows he might be suffering from a mental disorder ‘Schizophrenia’. A schizophrenic person lose interest in things, which he used to like earlier. Schizophrenia is of five types. Two know about the types, causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment of Schizophrenia, link to an appropriate page. This is a snippet from the video.

The Blackstart was still around today though I was only able to make a morning visit and found the bird was keeping to a tower of the castle thats locked to the public. The bird did show a couple of times but not like yesterday. In the afternoon the bird made a better appearance but sadly I had work so I was unable to be there. It caused a bit of a fuss between birders and photographers as is getting the norm when a rare bird is actually quite confiding. Birders aren’t understanding that the bird has approached you rather than the other way around. I don’t know how it can be so missed. The original comment about it has since been withdrawn from the site it was on as the person had received what I can only understand as misunderstood claims of bad behaviour.
That's her name. Amazing to watch her glide smoothly over the chop. Wish I had time to increase the shutter speed to have captured more of her approach to the harbour.

Here's more ammo suggesting the behaviour I'm seeing on an OS X machine is perhaps OS and/or hardware-specific.
Test case: Start the game, fire the machine gun (new JS objects and nodes), and wait to confirm that they are properly reclaimed.
In this screenshot, you can see DOM nodes created for machine gun ammunition are garbage collected once things settle down. A forced GC at the end captured a little more.
A simple test page is here.

Problems of anti-social behaviour surround Bonfire Night and Halloween each year.
Greater Manchester Police and Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service work alongside partners such as Trading Standards and local authorities to problems associated with this period. The joint annual operation is known as Treacle.

Unfortunately because of anti-social behaviour I decided that it was best to move on so I did not get the opportunity to explore this park which was a pity.
The park has many fine mature trees, beautiful flowers, horticultural displays and grassland areas.
In June 1866, Belfast Corporation (now Belfast City Council) purchased 101 acres of land on Falls Road from the Sinclair family. Some of the land was set aside for the building of Belfast City Cemetery, but the rest was earmarked for a new park.
However, because the land initially fell outside the Belfast city boundary, the area was not considered a public park until the Public Parks (Ireland) Act was passed in 1869.
The area, now known as Falls Park, was eventually established in 1873.
In 1924, an outdoor swimming pool, known locally as ‘the Cooler’, was added to the park. It cost £3,000 to build and was fed by the Ballymurphy Stream, which still flows through the area today. The pool closed in 1979 for public health reasons.
People met after work to express their protest against strange behaviour of prosecutors near Kaunas Circuit Prosecutor's Office.
The beginning of the story explained at www.flickr.com/photos/egle_k/3996302334/
Girl's testimony www.youtube.com/watch?v=hHMSBXcqIhU
At present, only one man of five persons, Andrius Ūsas, named as a suspect by prosecutors when passing materials to judges. Besides, accusation on rape of 4-year girl was transformed into 'suspicion of depravation'. The mother of the girl who sold her according to the words of the girl is not a suspect though also no accusation on kidnapping is presented for the above mentioned suspect who is not a member of the family and always lived separately...
The man in the poster is a father of the girl (Drąsius Kedys) who started fight against influencial pedophiles.
Lithuania observes incredible and impudent performance of officials and some media since October, with every day invented new versions, lies and great efforts to present a victim and her defenders as criminals, mentally disordered people, etc.
Testimony facts are not still checked by investigation, but proceedings canceled against other suspected persons. Conclusions of judicial psychiatrists were avoided by prosecutors, first they were declared as not performed, after as beeing lost during sending, but the main Lithuanian judicial psychiatrist found enough courage to defend honour of his institution with help of media and documents reappeared. But these documents are not among documents sent to the court according to the representative of the girl. However a specialist who has no right to draw conclusions for judicial process as been invited by prosecutors instead and has made conclusion on the status of the girl without meeting her alive.
Besides this small girl was taken from her kindergarten and brought to the institution for mentally ill without informing her tutor and without any decision of the court or other institution; only protests of the society helped to return her to her tutor (aunt) and grandparents after a period of 8 days. In this psychiatric hospital, the girl has been treated with medicaments and possibly using other methods without any consent from her legal tutor.
KAUNAS POLICE INFORMED MEDIA THAT PARTICIPANTS OF THE MEETING WILL BE FINED OR ARRESTED FOR 30 DAYS. The article of 2 February, in Lithuanian, at www.delfi.lt/news/daily/lithuania/article.php?id=28522329
Additional info: Father of abused girl found dead near Kaunas 17 April 2010... First reports for media about cause of death were "died of cold" (despite the fact that we have a warm spring and birds returned in the middle of March) and the next official report was that Kedys died of choke. That sounds as continuing mockerey of the family of abused girl, the style reminds Vytautas Pociūnas case several years ago.
Facebook groups for Drąsius Kedys:
Funeral ceremony was held 24 April 2010.
You may wish to join a group In memory of Drasius Kedys-Please help to get justice for his family.

"... When I was a teenager at school I definitely did not fit in. I had glasses, was awkward, brainy, wore the school uniform because I had no idea what else to wear, and suffered insults from my classmates. One of these was the frequent and common slander “poof” (which is probably the closest thing to the American term “fag”).
I was either ignored, or verbally abused, or physically assaulted. In one attack two boys pinned me down and asked me the incongruous question: “Do you prefer music or art?”. “Art” after all was something only a poof would like. ..."
Cripes @JGC I feel for you mate. The self description as a student could fit any reader here (HackerNews). There but for the grace go I - except I was probably bigger & uglier than yourself.
Anyone who wants a quick understanding of the mechanics of bullying and ways to circumvent it, take a peek at "Hacking People" ~ bootload.posterous.com/hacking-people and some thoughts on identifying Cyber Bullies ~ seldomlogical.com/2010/03/13/hacking-bullies
a bit later on
"... I managed not to get bullied much (it usually stopped quickly after a round of fisticuffs and my father being a boxing coach in his youth) ..."
However this technique does not always work. Bullying is about finding weakness and applying an asymmetric attack. I'm not sure this approach will work with say a group of girls?
more
"... What always fascinated me is how girl bullying has almost no effect on a guy (even with other girls), so girls quickly give up on bullying guys (I'll come back to this in a second), but can devastate a girl, while the inverse, guys bullying girls can be just as effective as guys bullying guys. ..."
Don't know about this. I've seen groups of women cut men down in bars all the time. Another explanation is maybe men don't show weakness.
"... She knows that she has a peer group she can draw positive socializations from, while her friends are still thinking that someday, those popular girls might want to be friends with them and care about maintaining that possible relationship -- which the popular girls seem to use as an avenue for their bullying. ..."
Excellent observation.
