In Alaska, more so than elsewhere I think, we use the term “breakup” as both a noun and a verb. In the latter sense as a description of the ice going out on the rivers, which can be quite dramatic and occurs at different times depending on any number of circumstances. But we also say “Breakup” to refer to a season, in many ways its more or equally significant than “Spring.” After the calm and soft season of winter, breakup is a raucous and mad rush, as if to say there’s no time for spring, let’s get to summer straight on. Breakup is rather late this year, in fact it may be record setting late.

This is the little Chena River, a relatively small stream, the larger rivers are still mostly locked in ice. This shot was made from the Nordale Road bridge looking upstream. You will notice the ice jam up above, in populated areas near the river those things can cause some real problems.

Looking at the sunset as the sun had set on my relationship with my partner Jasmine. Goodbye my special friend. May you find happiness where you go.

The breakup of the Soviet Union left Kazakhstan with large numbers of tactical reconnaissance and strike aircraft, plus a heavy bomber regiment at Chargan Air Base near Semipalatinsk with 40 Tupolev Tu-95M5 strategic missile carrier aircraft. However, the newly-formed republic had no tactical units at all and had no use for the bombers. Wanting to keep on friendly terms with Kazakhstan so they could continue to use the Baikonur Space Centre and several military training grounds in the country, Russia exchanged the bombers for a suitable number of Su-27 and MiG-29 and Su-25 fighters from Russian Air Force stocks. By 1995, 73 combat aircraft were delivered including 38 Flankers. The Su-27s entered service with the 60th IAP in 1999 and by 2000 the Kazakhstan Air Force was reformed into the Republic of Kazakhstan Air Defence Force with aviation bases as the primary elements in its order of battle, not air regiments. The 60th IAP was transformed into the 604th AvB and stationed at Taldykorgan, with some Flankers being transferred to Qarahandy-Sary Arka International airport in order to have a more even distribution of fighters across the country.

In September 2007, the Kazakhstan Air Defence Force sent ten of its Su-27s to 558th ARZ in Baranovichi, Belarus for upgrades to the BM2 standard. The N001 radar was upgraded with the actual beam and ground mapping modes and increased its compatibility with the R-77 active radar homing AAM and the Kh-31A anti-shipping missile. The cockpit featured an EFIS with colour liquid-crystal MFDs, an enhanced navigation system, a data collection/transmission system, and data cockpit recorders. The first BM2 variant was completed in 2009. In 2015, the Kazakhstan Air Defence Force placed an order for 24 Su-30SM aircraft to replace its ageing MiG-27 Floggers.

In this image, a recently upgraded Su-27BM2 (“05 Yellow”) from the 604th AvB at Taldykorgan flies over the Kazakhstan countryside. 05 Yellow was the first Su-27 to receive the BM2 upgrades in Belarus. The new paint scheme also does away with the old Soviet-era camouflage with a dazzling dark blue, light blue, and grey pattern. Note the two B-13L rocket launchers mounted on the number 3 and 4 pylons.

And I must be insane

To go skating on your name

And by tracing it twice

I fell through the ice

Here lays my heart

All broken and torn

There are no feelings left in it

For me to mourn

Here lays my mind

Which has repressed

All the memories we have shared

That have left me a mess

Here lays my soul

Which you took away

Along with my faith and trust in you

That you broke in a day

Here lays my body

All mangled and left to die

I hope that I can get through this

And find another guy.

"Breakup" by Julie Scricco

夜的寧靜是時候好好反省

月的陰晴圓缺就像我的心

夜下著雨　天在哭泣

不知道何時才放晴

我忽然非常想念你

你的背影讓我失去了理性

你的放棄讓我迷失了自己

你的離去就像刺青

永遠烙印在我的心

是如此痛　而如此的美麗

我努力的想哭泣

卻哭不出淚滴

一次又一次的灰心

才發現早已麻痺

終於發現自己

已經不在乎你

原來分手也能如此安寧

安寧／詞：林倛玉

Edited Landsat 8 image of the breakup of the large iceberg that just split away from the Larsen C ice shelf. Processing variant.

Image source: earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=90627

Original caption: When a massive iceberg first broke away from Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf sometime between July 10-12, 2017, scientists knew it would eventually start breaking apart. That’s the normal life cycle of a drifting iceberg, which is at the mercy of the ocean’s battering currents, tides, and winds. Already those forces have turned A-68 into two named bergs, A-68A and A-68B, as well as a handful of pieces too small to be named by the U.S. National Ice Center.

In the two weeks following the initial break, satellite imagery has documented the iceberg’s motion. The southern end appears to have slammed into a mix of floating ice above Gipps Ice Rise—the bump of snow- and ice-covered bedrock visible in the lower right of the image. Then the berg rebounded and its northern end swung back toward the just opened rift. The resulting impact caused both the berg’s north end and the ice shelf to fracture.

“The back-and-forth movement of A-68 looks akin to maneuvering a parallel-parked car out of a tight parking space—like an Austin Powers three-point turn,” said Christopher Shuman, a cryospheric scientist at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center and the University of Maryland, Baltimore County.

The fractured berg and shelf are visible in these images, acquired on July 21, 2017, by the Thermal Infrared Sensor (TIRS) on the Landsat 8 satellite. The false-color view shows the relative warmth or coolness across the region. White indicates where the ice or water surface is warmest, most notably in the widening strip of mélange between the main iceberg and the remaining ice shelf. Dark grays and blacks are the coldest areas of ice.

So far, the calving and fracturing has taken place under the dark cover of polar night during Antarctica’s austral winter. That makes thermal imagery from satellites a critical tool for “seeing” the action. Adrian Luckman of the UK-based Project MIDAS first saw the berg break away in thermal data from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS), before Sentinel radar data became available later on July 12.

The thermal view above shows a remarkable amount of detail. The bright signature of relatively warm ocean water appears around A-68B, which broke off sometime between late July 13 and early July 14. More subtle fractures north of A-68B are visible on the shelf; these pieces will eventually break free and move out to sea with the rest of the ice.

All of the ice pieces large and small are subject to the water currents of the Weddell Gyre and the strong weather systems that can whip up blinding snow and blanket the region in clouds for many days at a time. This same ocean circulation that will eventually move the bergs northward toward South Georgia Island.

In the meantime, scientists will have to wait until August—the end of polar night here—to get their first natural-color images since the long-growing Larsen C rift became a complete break.

Now for all the moaning about British Leyland I do, I will give it to them that when they got it right, they really got it right, and the Jaguar XJS is a fine sentiment to that.

However, even from before it was conceived the XJS was in boiling water, namely because of what it was replacing, the E-Type, a car which had cemented itself in the hearts and minds of so many as one of the greatest things mankind has ever made, so trying to build a car to emulate this machine of wonders was already going to be a difficult task. This was later compounded by the fact that the chief designer Malcolm Sayer, died in 1970 whilst the car was still in development, which meant that it was up to the British Leyland team in the Jaguar department to finish off the design. But in the end when the car was launched in 1975, the styling wasn't actually as bad as many make it out to be. Don't get me wrong, the car was absolutely hounded for its looks, its angular corners, ridiculous buttresses on the back that were feared to obscure rear visibility, and straight lines, not even remotely like the smooth, wind-tunnel designed E-Type, but when you get down to it, it is a lovely looking machine, it looks exactly like a sports car should, low, smooth, sleek, and generally pleasing to the eye.

The car was also one of only a handful of cars to be launched with a V12 engine, the only other cars being the extreme 200mph Lamborghini's and Ferrari's of the time such as the Countach. Putting a V12 in a luxury Limousine however was certainly a daring move by Jaguar, and with it's 5.3L powerhouse under the bonnet, the car could be whisked to a top speed of 143mph. However, putting the V12 in was not only daring, it was massively audacious as at the time there was a fuel crisis on, and thus the market for owning a gas-guzzling engine such as this was not exactly a big one. However, British Leyland were always one for product placement, and were able to promote the car by way of the TV Series 'The New Avengers' (along with a Triumph TR7 that broke down every 20 minutes, but that's another story). Build quality problems were also another major issue, including unreliable engines and being prone to rust, but the folks at Jaguar's factory in Coventry were willing to step up their act, and such the XJS became one of the more reliable models of the British Leyland range.

The car did eventually start to get sold though, primarily in America, where it became quite a fashionable Florida tourer for the new money. However, the car wasn't available as an open-roof cabriolet initially, which resulted in the Series II XJS in 1980, being known as the XJS-HE for its High Efficiency engine. In 1983 the XJS finally had it's roof partially cut off in the form of the XJS-SC, which also came with a much less thirsty 3.6L V6 for the more fuel sensitive new money millionaire. However, threats of legislation still lurked in the US about banning convertibles, so a roll-bar was placed over the passenger compartment in similar fashion to that of the Triumph Stag, so as to protect the occupants but still provide that wonderful sensation that only a convertible car can give. Eventually the car did get it's roof fully cut off when the legislation threats went away in 1988, although prior to this various coachbuilders would gladly take your regular XJS and remove its roof for you.

In 1986, during the breakup of British Leyland, Jaguar was made independent for a short while before being bought by Ford, who then wanted to give the XJS another update to keep it in the flow. So in 1990, the XJS Series III was launched, with a revised rear end to remove the two buttresses that had haunted its design from the beginning, a straight set of rear light clusters, and revised bumpers to make them look like part of the body rather than just yoked on at the last minute. These last XJS's were amongst the most reliable and popular sports cars on the market, selling in massive numbers both in Europe and the United States. The XJS once again was in the California sunlight, but the design from the early 70's was starting to look very tired. It was time for Jaguar to axe the XJS and in 1996 they did just that, replacing it with the surprisingly satisfying but sadly under-appreciated XK8. After 21 years of production, the British Leyland wonderchild ended off with 115,000 examples built.

Today you can find a fair few XJS's out and about in both Britain and America. In the UK you're more likely to find the later models from between 1988 and 1996, as most of the earlier British Leyland examples probably rusted away in someone's garage a long time ago. But although this car may receive a fair amount of bashing from classic Jag enthusiasts for committing the sinful crime of replacing the E-Type, the XJS certainly looked a lot more handsome than the MkIII E-Type, which looked like some kind of tugboat into which the passenger cabin had sunk!

Sometimes in your life you just need to face it, no matter how deep you hide it, there will always come a moment when you will remember.

First you open your wings, you touch the clouds, the borders of the glas are painted with all the smiles brought by good memories, but then you come to the lower part of the glass, the liquor have the need to flush your sore trhoat, throat strangled by the ending, by the injustice, by the strugles that you made in your life, all the sacrifice, that never payed off.

We always will meet new, interesting people in our life, the ugly ones, the cute ones, the realy hot ones, the interesting, boring... every single profile. Some, will pass by our side like the new born breeze, some will tickle our imagination, and sometimes one of the team will decide that tickle to take over your life, and jump right into a new bus, leaving the old companion behind.

The only question is how do we know that the old road trip in time will show that was better then the new one? And if we realise it then, will it be too late to buy that ticket again, because the worst thing in the life is when you come too late.

If you are jumping from one bus to another, you will be stuck playing the same song but only with different instruments, and is it realy fair to replace your for so many years loved guitar with a violin, just to play the same song again?

The thing is, when you find something that you build and trully respect, you will see and visit hundreds of houses, but you will always gladly return to your doorstep, because you made it, and even if other doors look tempting, your is the one you chose, the one that was always there for you. That's a feeling that we often forget.
