This has taken a while but it's finally coming together. Ambient occlusion and normal map baked and applied. LOD and collision mesh will be a pain >.<

 

Not too sure what the LI will be like at this stage. I've kept everything as lowpoly as I could without losing detail. 3 modular levels along with the end caps are shown in this picture but you can stack on as many as you'd like.

 

I've also thrown on a section of the corridor and window from the previous kits to test compatibility. They fit rather well. :)

From a photoshoot i made with several character to show off the bodyslide compatibility of my Skyrim body mod. With something called converted outfits, you are able to build the outfits to shape after a body preset, and this is how it looks on our body!

Some background:

Following Hungary's membership of NATO in 1999, there were several proposals to achieve a NATO-compatible fighter force. Considerable attention went into studying second-hand aircraft options as well as modifying the nation's existing MiG-29 fleet. In 2001, Hungary received several offers of new and used aircraft from various nations, including Sweden, Belgium, Israel, Turkey, and the US. Although the Hungarian government initially intended to procure the F-16, in November 2001 it was in the process of negotiating a 10-year lease contract for 12 Gripen aircraft from Sweden, with an option to purchase the aircraft at the end of the lease period.

As part of the procurement arrangements, Saab had offered an offset deal valued at 110 per cent of the cost of the 14 fighters. Initially, Hungary had planned to lease several Batch II Saab 39s; however, the inability to conduct aerial refueling and weapons compatibility limitations had generated Hungarian misgivings. The contract was then renegotiated and eventually signed on 2 February 2003 for a total of 14 Gripens, which had originally been A/B standard and had undergone an extensive upgrade process to the NATO-compatible C/D 'Export Gripen' standard. At the same time, the need for an advanced jet trainer as a replacement for the Hungarian Air Force’s last eight MiG-21UM aircraft became more and more imminent. The Gripen two-seaters alone could not cope with this task and were operationally too expensive to be used as trainers, so that Hungary requested an additional offer for a small number of Sk 90 trainers from Swedish surplus stock.

 

Developed under the designation FSK900, the Saab Sk 90 was a replacement for the Saab 105 (also known as Saab Sk 60) transitional trainer, light attack and reconnaissance aircraft. The FSK900 was a conservative design, with a configurational resemblance to the Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet, even though the FSK900 was overall bigger and heavier, and the two machines could be easily told apart at a glance.

The Swedish Air Force accepted Saab’s design, leading to a contract for two nonflying static-test airframes and four flying prototypes. Detail design was complete by the end of 1993 and prototype construction began in the spring of 1994, leading to the initial prototype’s first flight on 29 July 1994. The first production Sk 90 A, how the basic trainer type was officially dubbed, was delivered to the Swedish Air Force in 1996.

A total of 108 production Sk 90s were built until 1999 for Sweden in several versions. The initial Sk 90 A trainer was the most common variant and the basis for the Sk 90 B version, which carried a weather radar as well as more sophisticated avionics that enabled the deployment of a wider range of weapons and other ordnance. However, this version was not adopted by the Swedish air force but exported to Austria as the Sk 90 Ö. Another variant was the S 90 C (for “Spaning” = reconnaissance); a small number was produced with a set of cameras in the nose for the Swedish Air Force, where it replaced the ground attack/reconnaissance Sk 60 Cs.

 

In service, the Sk 90 was regarded as strong, agile, and pleasant to fly, while being cheap to operate. But despite its qualities and potential, the Sk 90 did not attain much foreign interest, primarily suffering from bad timing and from the focus on domestic demands. The aircraft came effectively 10 years too late to become a serious export success, and in the end the Sk 90 was very similar to the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet (even though it was cheaper to operate), at a time when the German Luftwaffe started to prematurely phase out its attack-capable variant and flooded the global market with cheap secondhand aircraft in excellent condition. Furthermore, the Saab Sk 90 had on the global market with the BAe Hawk another proven competitor with a long and positive operational track record all over the world.

 

Beyond Hungary, potential Sk 90 buyers were Malaysia as well as Singapore, Myanmar, Finland, and Poland. Austria eventually procured 36 Sk 90 Ö in 2002, replacing its Saab 105 fleet and keeping up its close connection with Saab since the Seventies. A late operator became the independent Republic of Scotland in 2017, with a dozen leased secondhand Saab Sk 90 A trainers which were later purchased.

 

The Swedish Sk 90 offer for Hungary was a 10-year lease contract similar to the Gripen package, and comprised five refurbished Sk 90 A trainers from the first production batch, which had been stored in Sweden for spares. The Hungarian Sk 90 deal also included an option to purchase the aircraft at the end of their lease period. In parallel, to save maintenance costs for the relatively small fleet of a completely new/different aircraft type, an agreement with neighboring neutral Austria could be arranged to outsource major overhauls to the Austrian Air Force and its newly established Sk 90 Ö service base at Linz – a deal from which both sides benefited. However, to improve flight safety over Austria’s mountainous terrain during these transfer flights, the Hungarian Sk 90 As had a simple navigational radar retrofitted with a small radome in their noses. Otherwise, the machines were basically identical with the original Swedish aircraft.

 

The aircraft were flown under civil registration from Sweden to Hungary between April and September 2005. To keep the distance to their Austrian service station short, the machines were not allocated to the 59th Air Regiment at Kecskemét Air Base, where the Hungarian Gripen fleet was based, but rather to the 47th Air Regiment at Pápa Air Base in Northwestern Hungary, where the last Hungarian MiG-21UM trainers had been operated. These were fully retired in 2008.

Beyond their primary role as advanced/jet conversion trainers, the Hungarian Sk 90 As were also intended to be used for tactical reconnaissance duties with Orpheus pods with daylight cameras and an infrared line scanner, inherited from the Italian Air Force, as light attack aircraft and ─ armed with gun pods and air-to-air missiles ─ as (anti-tank) helicopter hunters. Reflecting these low-level tasks, the machines received a tactical camouflage in green and tan, similar to the former MiG-21s, instead of the Gripens’ all-grey air superiority scheme.

 

While the Hungarian Air Force operated its total of 14 Gripen and 5 Sk 90 aircraft under lease, in 2011, the country reportedly intended to purchase these aircraft outright. However, in January 2012, the Hungarian and Swedish governments agreed to extend the lease period for a further ten years. According to Hungarian Defence Minister Csaba Hende, this agreement represented considerable cost savings, so that the running business model was retained. The service agreement with Austria could be extended, too.

 

One Sk 90 A was lost in a landing accident in May 2016, and two Gripens had to be written off through accidents in the meantime, too. To fill these gaps, Hungary signed a replacement contract in 2018 to come back to its full fleet of 14 Gripen, and the Sk 90 A fleet was expanded to seven aircraft. These new machines were delivered in 2019.

The kit and its assembly:

This additional member of my fictional Sk 90 family came spontaneously when I studied information concerning the MiG-21. I came across the Hungarian trainers and wondered with what they could have been replaced after 2000 – and “my” fictional Sk 90 came to my mind. I also had a suitable decal set in store, so I dug out a(nother) Hasegawa T-4 and created this whiffy Hungarian variant.

 

The kit is the old/first T-4 mold; Hasegawa did the T-4 twice, and both kits differ considerably from each other in their construction. The first one has a fuselage consisting of two simple halves with separate wings attached to it; the later mold features a separate cockpit section and a single dorsal wing section, so that the wings’ anhedral is ensured upon assembly.

The air intakes are also different: the old mold features ducts which are open at their ends, while the new mold comes with additional inserts for the intakes which end in a concave wall, making them hard to paint. The fin of the old kit consists of two full halves, while the new one has the rudder molded into just one half of the fin for a thinner trailing edge. The same goes for the wings’ upper halves: on the new mold, they comprise the full flaps and ailerons, while the old kit has them split up, resulting in a marginally thicker training edge. However, you can hardly recognize this and it’s IMHO not a flaw.

Personally, I prefer the old kit, because it is much more straightforward and pleasant to build – even though some details like the main landing gear struts are better on the new mold.

 

The (old) kit itself is relatively simple and fit is quite good, even though some PSR was necessary on almost every seam. The only mods I made are additional emergency handles on the seats (made from thin wire), and I added an Orpheus recce pod under the fuselage with an integral pylon, left over from an Italeri F-104G kit. The OOB underwing pylons were used, together with the original drop tanks.

  

Painting and markings:

The prime reason for a Hungarian Sk 90 was the paint scheme, and the fact that I have a sweet spot for Hungary in genarl. The livery was adapted from the late Hungarian MiG-21bis, a more or less symmetrical pattern consisting of a yellowish light tan and a bluish dark green, with light blue undersides. It’s actually a very simple paint scheme, and my adaptation is a free interpretation, since the T-4’s layout with shoulder-mounted wings is quite different from the sleek Fishbed with mid-mounted delta wings.

 

Finding good color matches was not easy, because pictures of reference Hungarian MiG-21s show a wide variety of green and brown shades, even though I assume that this is just weathering. I found some good pictures of a late MiG-21UM trainer with an apparently fresh paint job, and these suggested a hard contrast between the upper tones. With this benchmark I settled for Humbrol 63 (Sand), and Modelmaster 2091 (RLM 82, Dunkelgrün). The undersides were painted with Humbrol 47 (Sea Blue Gloss), since they appeared rather bright and pale in reference pictures.

The cockpit interior was painted in medium grey (Revell 47), the landing gear and the air intakes in white (Revell 301), very conservative. The Orpheus pod was painted in light grey (FS 36375, Humbrol 127) to set it apart from the light blue undersurfaces. The drop tanks were painted in green and blue.

 

National markings, the large orange “47” decoration and the small emblems on nose and fin came from a Mistercraft MiG-21UM decal sheet. The tactical code in red, etched with white, was created with single digits from a Hungarian Aero Decals (HAD) sheet for Mi-24s, reflecting the aircraft’s (fictional) serial numbers’ final three digits.

Finally, after some light weathering and post-shading (for a slightly sun-bleached look, esp. on the upper surfaces), the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).

  

Number four in my growing Sk 90 family, and certainly not the last one. A quick and simple project since the model itself was built almost OOB, and the “old” Hasegawa T-4 is really a simple build. However, I am amazed (once more) how much potential a T-4 travesty bears: even in Hungarian colors and markings this whif looks disturbingly convincing. The green/brown/blue paint scheme suits the aircraft well, too, even though it looks a lot like an Alpha Jet now, and there’s even a Su-25ish look to it?!

MY LITTLE SONG AND DANCE

 

Being kind can be hard when you’ve had

Your kindness ignored, laughed at, used

Against you, but unless you show it how

Will someone who wants to be kind to you

Ever know it? So once again I do my little

Song and dance. You may not understand,

May not get the point, but if it amuses you,

Throw me a coin. The story it tells may mean

Nothing to you but maybe you’ll get some

Ideas you can use. Although I’ve had to work

On it, I wouldn’t exactly say it’s an act. If it’s

An act, then so is kissing, so is hurting, so is

Joy, so is knowing right direction, wrong road.

That’s the story that’s told in my little song

And dance. One chapter might be over but

The story goes on probably forever. The song

Will change as it tells of all things over time

And back again. It’s always different, then,

My little song and dance. Someone’s singing

Harmony and dancing in time somewhere

I can’t see to my little song and dance, and

Though our act may be split, the parts will

Always fit. Oh, I’m quite sure of it, like night

Is sure of day. That’s who I hope will hear

My little song and dance through the clamor

Of traffic, the static from tv and phones, so

If your antennae tune me in, if my song and

Dance ring true, trust your insect instinct, it’s

Meant for you.

 

OBJECTIVE

 

You can’t be objective about

Someone you love. It’s not like

You forget right and wrong and the

Standards of fairness we’ve all

Come to cherish, but that all gets

Swept aside by a more urgent

Focus on what your love’s up to.

And if your love is true. And if

She thinks you’re peerless or

Useless. Life as a Zen monk or

Forty days in the desert would

Never teach me to transcend

This feeling, which, like air,

You can neither touch nor do

Without while your blood flows.

The hounds will wade into water

And the captain go down with the

Ship because when you love

Someone there’s no such

Thing as objective.

 

BUILD

 

You can only build based on whatever your

Understanding of building is at the moment.

Cavemen couldn’t conceive of skyscrapers,

But there they are. So skyscrapers remind us

That understanding can evolve beyond the

Conviction that caves are our most suitable

Accommodations. Don’t you hate it when

People’s so-called understanding isn’t based

On what they really know but on what they’re

Projecting?

 

KNIVES

 

My ego’s been slashed so much

I’m don’t know if you can even

Call it an ego anymore. But lo and

Behold, this scarred old ego is

Still out there every day looking

For breakfast, lunch and dinner.

My ego likes to take its meals

With my soul when it can, and

The conversation goes something

Like ego saying how long must I

Keep walking into knives? And the

Soul saying until knives aren’t the

Only thing that makes you feel

Anything at all.

 

UNDERSTANDING

 

Santa, if it’s not too much to ask, think you

Could leave some understanding under the

Tree? I used to think I had plenty, but now I

Wonder if I really have any. It’s needed cause

Without understanding it’s hard to communicate.

Without understanding it’s hard to trust. Without

Understanding it’s hard to reach out. Without

Understanding, passion can get twisted into anger.

Without understanding, natural compatibility can

Get twisted into natural antagonism. Without

Understanding, misunderstanding and doubt

Undermine your foundation. So much we need to

Understand , or else watch something slip away not

For a lack of caring, but a lack of understanding.

 

PINBALL

 

I wish I could just be still but my

Mind’s like a pinball ricocheting

All over the map, dizzy, bouncing

From one extreme to another.

Sometimes your words trigger

My knockabout flight through

The game, hoping I’ll hit your

Grand prize button before I

Fall out of play. Hard way to

Earn points with you, but a

Pinball just feels he’s fated to

Roll with it no matter what.

  

THUNDER

 

Thunder and rain – life comes from

Waters intermingled. What comes

When thoughts blend like waters from

Two rivers? Life for our species began

In the sea, to instinct pointing the way

To swim. Now on a stormy night, water

All around us again. Intuitions form a

Floating consciousness, our beginnings

As tiny impulses clinging to life. Many

Cycles later we’re still the raw nerve ends

Of our world’s own mysterious flow. One

With every raindrop. Longing to roar like

Thunder. Waters waiting to intermingle.

 

SHADOWS

 

What’s happening in the shadows might

Seem kind of scary. In the dark, shadows

Insinuate vague threats with just enough

Of the real to make us jumpy. Shadows

Like it when we’re on edge and susceptible

To their whispers of private confidences,

As if the truth can only be told in the dark.

Truth is, we choose what’s real, and I’d

Rather trust what’s in the light. Don’t

Invest those shadows with any power

Over you. They’re just an absence of

Light making scary shapes of nothing.

 

CLOWNS

 

I may look like a clown upfront, but the ones

You trust reveal themselves over time to be

Evert bit as much a clown as me, or worse.

Will these clowns still care whether you

Laugh or cry once they’ve tamed the tiger

In you,bound you in a cage, and forced you

Into the circus of their lives?

 

A GOOD CAPTAIN

 

Little mouse, you must know the torture of

Wishing you could do something but having

No idea of what would be right. You must

Know what it’s like when the last thing you

Want to do is give up but the longer you hang

On the worse you make it. Or so it seems but

You’re not sure. What we project on a situation

Often says more about ourselves than the

Situation itself, but the more I try projecting

Something positive on to this situation the

Less it makes sense. If I were to go on what’s

Obvious alone, I’d be gone, but it feels like

There’s something I’m missing, something

Between the lines I’m not seeing. A good

Captain is supposed to go down with the ship,

Not push women and children off the lifeboat

And then turn around and claim it was all just

A misunderstanding. Right, little mouse? You

Look puzzled. Imagine how I feel. If someone

Made you a captain, wouldn't you want to be a

Good captain? What?Tthere are no captains of

Mice? Wow... Maybe you mice are smarter than

Us humans give you credit for.

 

UNTITLED

 

Little mouse, are you still fascinated by what I

Have to say? If you were human, I’d say it’s not

Very gracious of you to consume my thoughts

And share none of yours in return, but you’re

Just a mouse so what does it matter? What are

You tapping out in Morse code? Let me listen…

T-a-l-k a-b-o-u-t l-o-v-e? Did someone send you

To spy on me? Does anyone really give a rip what

I have to say on that subject? Let me think… Ok,

These are just random thoughts. Love makes me

Feel like a king. Love makes me feel like a Lazarus.

Love makes me feel big like King Kong. Love makes

Me feel small like something an ant would consider

Small. Love makes me feel like I knew it all along.

Love makes me feel like I’ve never been right about

Anything and never will be. Love brings out the best

In me. Love brings out the worst in me. How can I

Tell this is love? I’ve finally figured it out. It must be

:Love because I don’t care how fat she gets. She

Could get twice as fat and still thrill me like no

Other. Little mouse, is that the best or the worst

In me? Tap out your answer in Morse code. (Tap,

Tap, tap...) You don’t know either? Fair enough.

Here, you’ve earned your cheese tonight just

For listening and not collapsing from shock.

 

SYMPATHY FOR THE WITCH

 

I can relate to the woman burned alive by

A mob in PNG because they thought she

Was a witch. In their minds, they gave her

A power she didn’t really have, put their

Full faith and belief behind the notion that

She was evil, and punished her accordingly.

I can relate because I know what it’s like to

Have to answer to what other people think

They know about you, based on nothing

More than some rumor or some shoe that

Seems to fit. While I escaped being burned

Alive, something tells me it was just my luck

That the more zealous and righteous minded

Of my peers weren’t given the opportunity.

You have to have some underlying reason

To find someone else guilty and subject them

To that level of violence, like maybe they make

You think of the things you yourself would do or

What kind of person you’d really be if you could

Get away with it. Every attack on another person

Is in some way an attack on yourself. So the mob,

Who would all love to have supernatural control

Over their own fates, murdered someone for

Supposedly having that same supernatural control.

It says far more about them than about the

Woman they sacrificed to their ignorance. In

Their minds, they’ve rid their community of evil,

But now they’re going to have to work very hard

To convince themselves that the real evil doesn’t

Firmly reside in their own minds and hearts.

 

TURN DOWN THE SILENCE

 

Mouse, this silence is so loud I can't

Even concentrate. It may be silent,

But it feels so thick it's doing funny

Things to the air. The plants are

Very sensitive to these things, and

They're sending off worried vibes.

Cats and dogs are nervous. Lizards

Are acting suspicious. Roaches are

Getting bolder. Why? It's all your

Oppressive silence! Can't you at

Least give a station ID at the top

Of the hour or something?

 

UNTO OTHERS

 

Been talking to the Man Upstairs? Funny

How we can talk to him all we want, but

We have to imagine how he’d reply. At

The risk of sounding self-serving, when I

Ask the Man Upstairs how I should handle

What’s happening between you and I, the

Response I imagine is, “Do unto others.”

So I’m just going to be honest with you like

I wish you’d be honest with me. On the

Subject of you, I’m basically clueless now.

If I were to judge solely by what’s on the

Surface, could you blame me for getting

The impression you don’t want to have

Anything to do with me? And yet I know

You keep coming back here. That’s my

One reason left to give you the benefit of

A doubt. So when you keep coming back,

Is there something that you’re still hoping

I’ll say? I wish I knew what it was . If you

Want to me to say you mean something

To me, uh… Would I have written enough

About my feelings for you to fill a small

Book if you didn’t mean something to me?

When you come back to check what I’ve

Said, is there something you’re still

Hoping I’ll do? Once again, I wish I knew

What it was. What do you want me to do?

Just get out of the way and let you do your

Thing? Welcome you back with open arms?

Try to convince you there’s something more

Important than every difficulty in its way? I’d

Like to assume something but maybe that’s

Just me. Truth is, I'll never know why you

Keep coming back unless you want me to.

So I’m left to get what solace I can from that

Wise advice, “Do unto others.” Here’s how

I’d have you do unto me: I recognize that

Really caring for someone is not just about

Bending their life to your own will, so I can’t

Fault you for pursuing your happiness where

You think it is, though I also can’t comprehend

How you’d think the kind of losers you’ve let

Yourself get close to were going to treat you

Better than I would. But judging by recent

Events, you appear firmly convinced that

To open yourself to me would be even

Worse than opening yourself to them. I

Beg to differ, but it's your decision. If you

Should find yourself not so firmly convinced

Of that, you can still talk to me if you want to.

You might get good news, you might get bad

News,but either way it means something if

You try. If you don't want to try, just remember

It's not because anyone said you couldn't.

Were the tables turned, that's how I'd have

You do unto me.

 

SHORT STACK

 

You know there's a lot worse things

I could have called you than Mouse.

 

EGO CHECK

 

While I seem to have tapped into a well

That doesn’t want to run dry, any time I

Think I’m any good at poetry, I’m brought

Back down to earth by the realization that

The deepest thoughts and feelings, the

Real source of the sorrows and joys,

Simply cannot be put into words. I’m

Lucky if I can share even a fleeting

Glimpse of them, or an allusion that

Makes some little light go on in your

Head when you realize you know the

Same thing. If I’m entertaining you, or

Giving you something you like, I’m very

Happy about that, but the best I could

Possibly have to say I wouldn’t say

Here for just anyone to see.

 

ON REPAIRS

 

I can’t fix what I didn’t break in the first place.

Only the one who broke it can fix it. Otherwise,

It will just rot in the rain and sun, slowly rusting,

Until one day it washes away in a downpour.

 

BY THE END OF TODAY

 

When I say I wish I could trust you it doesn’t

Mean you have to submit, you have to regret,

You have to commit, you have to be right, you

Have to be wrong, or you have to be pure. All

It means is I wish you would open up to me

Just enough for me to open up to you. I won’t

Make a big deal about you not being pure and

Perfect if you’d do the same for me, because

Heaven knows I’m not. What does It matter?

Some things you can’t plan out, only figure out

As you go along. It’s never going to be as perfect

As we idealize perfection to be, but when you

Consider that either or both of us could be dead

By the end of today, suddenly everything ceases

To matter much except for the deepest wishes

Of the heart.

 

LOVE AND ANGER

 

What a strange but inseparable couple love and

Anger make. Aside from a common passion, they

Share very little. Love is all devotion and caring,

While anger is all demanding and all too often

Destroying. You’d think they’d be far better off

Apart, yet anywhere you find one the other is

Usually not far away. Maybe love needs anger

As a defense against those who would misuse

It, while anger needs love to make it more than

Mere cruelty or aggression. With its loud and

Fierce displays and vows of finality, you would

Think that anger is the stronger of the two, but

In truth it’s always been love that’s had the final

Say. Anger may erupt like a volcano, then cool

Down to nothing, while love may be quiet or

Loud, hard or soft, tender or coarse, but it never

Really goes away. And if you think controlling

Anger is hard, try controlling love. Some thoughts

Will make you very angry, but love will remind you

Of itself when you’re not thinking at all, in quiet

Moments when you think you’ve found peace of

Mind. Anger is often our reaction to expectations

We should never have had in the first place, or

Sometimes the most honest response to love

Wronged, while love is both a response and a

Reaction as well as something else, something

More like a timeless truth that never changes.

The pain of anger without love is just fruitless

Annoyance, like traffic moving too slow, whereas

The pain of love without the buffer of anger hits

Harder than whiskey straight from the bottle.

It’s a sharp, brutal cut right to the core of your

Ability to feel at all. You can’t control it, only come

To some kind of peace with it regardless of whether

Your story ends happily or otherwise. Or else, you

May as well feel forever ill at ease for not being able

To control the weather.

 

WAITING OR HIDING

 

You can be either waiting for me or

Hiding from me, but if you try and be

Both, or you flip-flop from one to the

Other as suits your whims, then I

Can neither show up nor cease to be

Someone you want to hide from.

 

RESENTMENT

 

Resentment comes to me quite naturally,

I’ve just had to learn how to process it. I

Sometimes wonder whether there isn’t

Some kind of resentment you still carry

Around inside towards me. In your heart

Or mind, am I someone who’s done you

Wrong? We often can’t admit everything

We really feel, and sometimes something

Is so buried you feel it without really being

Aware. There I go playing psychiatrist like

Some wannabe Sigmund Freud. Maybe

You just aren’t that fond of me, simple as

That. There’s always that possibility. But

If the problem is an old hurt, I’d just ask

You to consider, how do you make up

For an old hurt? And do you think there

Was really any malice behind whatever

The perceived injury was, or was it just

Unfortunate circumstance? All of this

May have nothing to do with the present,

But if it does then once again, how do

You make up for an old hurt? You can’t,

Except to try and show that the old

Resentments are no longer applicable.

Or maybe they’re in fact still quite

Applicable, unless I recognize them

And make a conscious decision that

They no longer have to apply. Or I

Could just hang on to an old hurt too,

Put you in the hurters' column of my

Personal history, and say that’s that.

But unless you need your resentment

As some kind of protection, or some

Constant reminder of wolves disguised

As lambs, wouldn't you rather make room

For warmer,kinder and sweeter feelings?

 

LAST WORD

 

Regardless of what either of us

May have been thinking, feeling

Or dreaming, the reality is you

Treated me like someone who

Means nothing to you. Far as I

Know, that’s your last word on

That subject, and here’s mine:

Should you ever wonder why I

Can't reach out to you, just cast

Your memory back to what

Happened when I tried.

 

TURTLES

 

Millions of loves hatched every moment

Like baby turtles. Right from the egg into

Dangers that most of them won’t survive.

Predators hungry for the vulnerable lie in

Wait as the small ones cross the sand in

Search of the sea. Moonlight calls to them,

This way, this way, but other lights confuse

Them like our own fickleness keeping us

From choosing a path. Through this crucible

Of panic and instinct, some find the water’s

Life-giving embrace and become one with

Their true home, just humans who naturally

Fit together can also become one. Others,

Too weak, too confused, or simply unlucky,

Sadly fall prey to the dangers, each one’s

Potential going to waste, like a great love

Ending when it’s barely begun.

 

HEAVEN

 

What belongs to the earth belongs to

The earth but what belongs to Heaven

Is something else altogether. It’s water

Where you’d expect only sand. It’s life

Where you’d expect only death. It’s joy

Where you’d expect only pain. It’s

Abundance where you’d expect only

Destitution. Anyone can have it but few

Do have it. You’re lucky to even find it,

But luckier if you can hold it or maybe

It decides it likes staying in your life.

It’s a test of how you take care of it.

Can you give it life or will it pass from

Your hands, its spirit returning from

Whence it came? Careful how you

Treat a gift from Heaven.

 

MR. SPOCK

 

Sometimes I wish I could be like Mr. Spock and

Address everything so rationally. Instead I have

Emotions that sometimes feel like a grenade,

Explosive and liable to do some harm, especially

To me. Even Mr. Spock would tell you emotions

Are natural and sharing them is healthy, but he’s

Analyzing not feeling. Analysis might say just give

Up, while emotions would rather die than do that.

Analysis says what has never been expressed

Cannot be answered, while emotions say stop

Looking at me or I’ll kill you. Mr. Spock says,

Highly irrational, and I say, that's kind of the point.

 

MILLION

 

In these times of elaborate distractions

And temporary cures, some age-old

Truths inconveniently refuse to be any

Less applicable. One such truth is that

We will only be happy when we find trust

And understanding. You can take a

Million easy ways out, but only find

You’ve diminished yourself a million

Times over.

 

NIGHT

 

There’s a long, long night I feel I’ve been

Banished to. The wrong king is on your

Throne. Lies compromise your invented

History. Everyone involved is smiling but

Inside wants to do murder on the nearest

Easy target. Something about this wedding

Is the soul of sin itself. The children from

This union will find that a placid surface

Disguises an endless turbulence beneath.

Their innocence will last about as long as

Yours did.

 

TWO TRUTHS

 

Personal truth can be fluid, anything you

Want it to be. All in the mind, you have

Total control. It’s natural to listen to your

Personal truth, let it cry, laugh, sing, speak

Softly, howl or intone something like a prayer

For the mysteries it feels yet cannot speak.

It’s fine to listen to your personal truth as

Long as you don’t confuse it with shared

Truth. Shared truth must be negotiated,

Must follow certain rules, must be weighed

For its pros and cons, occasionally must be

Bargained over. Shared truth follows policies

To keep some semblance of social order. We’d

All like to run wild, sometimes do, but after

Awhile everyone gets tired if chaos and so

Shared truth is really about control. You need

To both listen to your personal truth and

Know the rules of shared truth. This is not to

Say the two never mingle. How lucky we are

Those times we find another with a personal

Truth similar enough to our own that something

Can be shared.

 

CAREER SERVICE (AS IF)

 

I can’t send my love into exile as if it’s

Been caught raping a schoolgirl, because

It’ hasn’t. My love does not rape, it’s just

Got all the embarrassment of someone

Who does and got caught. I can’t banish

My love from the tribe as if the war party

It led came home not only without any

Enemy heads as trophies, but missing a

Few of their own, because that’s not the

Real story. My love is as brave as any, but

Met an enemy called mistrust that knows

How to fight dirty. I can’t demote my love

From manager to janitor as if it’s been

Secretly videotaped being handcuffed and

Whipped by drunken nuns, because that

Never happened. My love’s not as kinky as

The kinky care to imagine, but what they

Imagine is my love is as guilty as sin, and

My love feels the weight of their disdain.

Fortunately, my love has Career Service

Status, as if it gets to collect a paycheck

While on extended leave of absence.

 

EXIST TO GIVE

 

Open my skull and channel surf, but please

Don’t shoplift, otherwise I’ll be walking into

Doors and moving vehicles, so deeply will I

Ponder the thought, something’s missing,

What could it be? Cook up my love in a

Spoon to shoot your fix, but please don’t

Overdose. Hasn't anyone told you it’s a

Tolerance you’re supposed to build up,

Not an intolerance? Load up your plate

With generous portions of my barbecued

Heart, bless the food, chomp away, it’s

Tasty and promotes healthy self-esteem.

My life is service, for better or worse I exist

To give, through so many ways of sharing,

Even through kindness so one-sided.

 

STUPIDITY

 

Seeing someone stupid act stupid doesn't exactly

Shock, but seeing someone intelligent act stupid

Just sems tragic. Have you exhausted every other

Option and the only way forward seems to be

Going backwards? If you said stop right there and

You reminded me that stupid is a judgement and

Sometimes people act stupid for reasons that

Really aren't so stupid, just no so obvious, I'd

Have to agree with you. But I'd aslo ask that you

Consider how stupidity can come from not

Seeing more intelligent options or rom refusing

To acknowledge more intelligent options. The

First is an honest mistake while the second is

A stab in the back of intelligence itself, which is

Why I say seeing someone intellgent act stupid

Just seems tragic. If intelligence haunted your

Electronic media, it would write across your

Screen, what the f--k am I doing here if you

Aren't even going to acknowledge me?

 

ATTACK DOG

 

I’m not really mean, I’m just direct. If

I know who I’m talking to, I’ll do all I

Can to make sure the conversation

Is comfortable, considerate, even fun,

But in my thoughts, there’s no sugar

Coating, I go right for the throat. I

Respond to verbal evasiveness with

A deeply felt disappointment, and to

Those who don’t know what they’re

Talking about, but keep talking anyway,

Like an attack dog watching a cat

Display arrogance. Can’t wait to rip it

Apart. But like an attack dog trained to

Quickly sniff out any vulnerable point in

A verbal trespass and sink in its fangs,

Sometimes my snarl and snap are

More instinct than insight, I’ll admit it.

So how should an attack dog react

When you approach looking and

Sounding like someone I should

Protect, but smelling like someone

I need to protect myself against? I

Wish you’d wash that smell of lies

Off you so that I could relax around

You once again.

BRAT MODE

 

In the parliament of my consciousness,

Cynicism took the floor and indicted my

Self on the grounds of pretended

Commitment. His embrace of a lost

Cause he knows he can't do anything

About gives him the perfect excuse not

To act, said Cynicism, with which I'd

Have no issue were it not our emotional

Resources he's squandering in service

Of a sulk while refusing to even pursue

Other options more potentially fruitful.

This is not commitment, continued

Cynicism, this is more like brat mode.

A stubborn refusal to do the adult thing.

Well Self, said the head speaker, have

You anything to say in your defense?

Steeling himself as usual against the

Frequent attacks by Cynicism, Self rose,

Cleared his throat and intoned, my lords,

I say without frivolity that I'm of rather

Advanced in age to be compared with a

Spoiled child. But if the comparison is to

Be begged then let me remind you what

Transpired when we allowed our fellow

Colleague Cynicism control over our

Emotional bank. He locked the doors,

Closed all existing accounts, laughed

At all applications, and refused to lend

Even the most modest of sympathy to

Any possibility of a genuine emotional

Return. Sirs, my cause is not lost, but

Like any worthy cause it cannot be won

Or definitively lost overnight. Cynicism

Wants not a more worthy cause, but

Simply a more convenient one. Will you

Allow him to sway your loyalties? At

Least I kept our fortune, Cynicism

Retorted in a voice little short of a

Shriek, rather than waste it on a

Dream you know is hopeless just to

Show you can hold out the longest.

Order! Order! the speaker intervened.

Clearly a vote is called for. And so the

Parliament honored the democratic

Process and... Never mind them, how

Would you vote?

 

PERFORMANCE ANXIETY

 

Pretending taken to an elevated level turns

Into acting. We all do it to some degree,

Sometimes for art, sometimes for fun and

Sometimes for survival. It’s still pretending.

Actors who do brilliantly at ill-fitting roles,

Characters so unlike themselves, sometimes

Get voices in their heads screaming, I want

Out, this isn’t me. I know the leopard in you

As well as the lamb. You’re trying to not just

Act the role, but live it from a misguided need

To please everyone but yourself, which will

Backfire when you can’t step out of the part

As easily as you stepped in. When Hollywood

Stars verge on going nova, studios pack them

Off to the funny farm, fat farm, or pharmacy

Farm for a few weeks and they bounce back

Brighter than ever. But who’s going to do

That for you? For you to admit you’ve had a

Falsehood overdose would mean admitting

There’s a soap opera posing as your life.

 

LIKE A CROSS

 

Funny how it’s me who ends up punished for

Your deeds. Who ends up mistrusted for your

Hypocrisies. Who’s deemed untrue for your

Faithlessness. Who’s seen as unworthy for

Your failures. Who’s considered wrong when

You don’t get it right. Who’s seen as sinful as

If any of your sins have been with me. Who’s

Seen as harmful even though I’m not the one

Who did the damage. Who’s representative

Of everything bad even while denied any

Chance to be good. It all makes a twisted

Kind of sense. The one who loves the most

Now and ever shall be the one made to

Bear that love like a cross.

 

BAT DURING THE DAY

 

Bat during the day, it just doesn’t

Look right. You’re not supposed to

Be here. You’re going against the

Organization we’re all so fond of

Following without question. Let

Questions start coming and they

Might never stop till the wrong

Question upsets the apple cart

Of our comfortable existence,

Wise understanding, belonging,

Order to our daily chaos. Bat

During the day raises too many

Questions we can’t honestly

Answer, so either say you didn’t

See it, or scream loudly it’s a bad

Omen and shoot it for flying out

Of line. No written law forbids a

Bat during the day, but without

Recognition it has no protection.

 

CAMERA

 

Camea, my companion all over the globe,

To think I've killed you without intending like

Hamlet and that geezer behind the curtain,

Is breaking my heart. Six thousand of your

Flowers will always bloom in this collection,

Unless I forget to renew the subscription.

Camera, it was only with you that I've ever

Made anyone happy. Not that they ever

Paid me, but who cares? You were like

Santa, I just took you for granted, and now

What can I look forward to at Christmas

Besides the usual aloha shirts my family

Sends me but I never wear because

They're too small. I mean the shirts, not

My family. Anyway, goodbye camera you'll

Always be something special to me,

Something I'm sure will become ever

More apparent as time goes on. Or

Maybe not, we'll just have to see. I'm

Not sure. As usual. Your pictures will

Always be a part of me, even though

I'm mostly not in them. I don't know

How to end the poem, but you can

Be a camera ghost and take shots

For a gallery in the afterlife - that'll

Show 'em!

 

I purchased an obitsu 11 body for a hybrid test, after all, who doesn't want a more poseable nendoroid?

The good news: the scale is perfect, she looks perfectly scaled on the body, its not alien or weird at all!

The bad news: The neck needs modification. You can see that her neck part is just too small. The second bad news is that the head seems to be too heavy, but that might be because the head isn't secure or the hair part is too heavy.

 

Al in all I'm looking forward to modding this body to be compatible with nendoroids!

In making hybrids the occurrence of empty fruits is very familiar. However, the combination that I am making above has been successful in the past. In 1999 Passiflora 'Hertensprong' was created from (((P.kermesina x P. caerulea) x P. caerulea) x P. actinia). Of course I am not using the same plants as used in 1999 but I am following the same formula. Any resulting plants should be fairly hardy.

 

P. 'Hertensprong' is believed to be already extinct.

LIFE PATH 22

Numerology's Life Path 22 tells us you were born under the most powerful and potentially the most successful of all Life Path numbers.

© Hans Decoz. All rights reserved.

   

You are the Master Builder; you were born under the most powerful and potentially the most successful of all Life Path numbers.

  

A 22 Life Path offers you the extremes of life's possibilities: on one hand, you have the potential to be the Master Builder, the person capable of perceiving something great in the archetypal world and manifesting it in the relative world; on the other hand, you can slip into the depths of obscurity, achieving little more than personal support.

 

Ω

   

THE POWER OF THE 22 LIFE PATH

 

The 22 is one three Master numbers and therefore has more potential, but is also more demanding.

 

Your power is delicate. It exists by virtue of your ideals and vision, which you must use to inspire others to join you in your dream. Only by marshalling collective forces are you able to bring together the necessary elements - people, ideas, resources - that will enable you to realize your goals.

 

Consequently, your Life Path is one requiring dramatic evolution. By being able to integrate seemingly conflicting characteristics within yourself - your inspiring vision and your natural tendency toward practicality, for example - you develop the talent to deal effectively with a great variety of people. This allows you to understand and unite many differing people toward a single goal, melding them into a concerted whole.

 

Ω

   

Your task in life is to unite the dream with the bottom line.

 

In short, you are the visionary with your feet on the ground. You are good at business and politics. You naturally understand large institutions, and have the ability to think and act on an international scale.

 

You are gifted with uncommonly sound common sense. You are able to see the beauty and potential in a given idea, but also the practical methods that will bring it to fruition. Somehow, you understand the limitations of ideas - - what will work and what will not. This is an intuitive gift that can evaluate possibilities on the basis of their practicality.

 

Ω

   

LIVING UP TO YOUR POTENTIAL

 

While in many aspects the 22 is the most promising number, it is also the most difficult to live up to. You have a great ambition, which can be a most difficult master, driving you to accomplish all that you are capable of. You are a steady partner in any relationship. You offer sound advice and consistent emotional support. You do not suffer from flights of fancy, and naturally resist the emotional heights. You are unconventional in thought and action, but tend to be traditional in appearance. You avoid airs and pretension.

 

Your challenge is to share your vision and allow others to make their personal contributions. That requires flexibility on your part, perhaps your weakest characteristic.

 

You often lack faith in the ability of others.

 

Ω

   

Therefore, you tend to control people and situations, sometimes tempted to manipulate. In the end, you must learn to surrender to the larger cause that you serve. The final result may be quite different from your original vision, but with faith and commitment you will make an enduring impact on the world.

 

Ω

   

You are romantic, but your love is more impersonal.

 

You tend to be focused on your dreams. When you are not in harmony with your true nature, you can fall to moodiness, or become aloof, and withdrawn. You can become timid, uncertain, and ungrateful, putting the blame for your troubles on others or the world.

 

You have a gift for examining your life objectively, and at some distance. Be honest with yourself. By openly facing your shortcomings, as well as your strengths, you develop equilibrium. You are thus able to love and better understand yourself and all of life.

PERIYAR E.V.RAMASAMY and WOMEN RIGHTS

 

With regards to marriage, Periyar has stated that it is one of the worst customs in India. He claimed that the marriage principle, briefly, involves the enslavement of a woman by her husband and nothing else. This enslavement is concealed under the cover of marriage rites to deceive the women concerned by giving the wedding the false name of a divine function.[7]

 

There have been numerous papers in South India reporting how husbands have killed their wives, suspecting immoral behavior. The husband's suspicion of his wife's character has often led to murders. Those who believe in the divine dispensation, according to Periyar, do not have the knowledge to ask themselves why marriages conducted according to religious rites and the approval of God end in this fashion.[7]

 

Periyar further states that the very idea that the only proper thing for women to do is to be slaves of domesticity, bear children and bring them up, is a faulty one. As long as these restrictions are imposed on women, we can be sure that women have to be subservient to men and depend on men for help. If women have to live on terms of equality with men, they must have the liberty, like men, to have the kind of education they like and also to do unhampered, any work suitable to their knowledge, ability and taste.[8]

 

Furthermore, Periyar objected to terms like "giving of a maid" and "given in marriage". They are, "Sanskrit terms" and treat woman as a thing. He advocated the substitution of the word for marriage taken from the Tirukkual "Valkai thunai" or "life partner".[9]

 

Expenses[edit]

With marriage comes the expenses. Periyar stated that in our country, and particularly in Hindu society, a marriage is a function causing a lot of difficulties and waste to all people concerned. But those who conduct the marriage function and those who are getting married do not appear to notice the attendant difficulties because they think that social life necessitates wasteful expense and many difficulties and therefore they must necessarily face those inconveniences and hardships.[10]

 

Wedding feast, jewels, expensive clothes, procession, pandal, dance, music—money is spent on all these to satisfy the vanity of the organizers. Whatever may be the amount of money spent on the wedding and however pompous each of the items may be, the mirth and jollity associated with these are over in two or three days. In a week's time the prestige and honor connected with these are forgotten.[10] But the wedding expenses leave many families crushed; for many poor families these expenses leave an enormous burden and the debts remain uncleared for a number of years.[11]

 

However, if the money intended for the wedding expense is not borrowed and belongs to either of the marriage parties, then that amount could be used by her to bring up her children and to educate them. Such a procedure would be highly beneficial to her.[12]

 

Arranged marriages[edit]

In South Asia we mostly hear of arranged marriages as part of custom, heritage, and religions. Periyar thought that the Aryan wedding methods were barbarous because of the Aryan religion and art: Vedas, Sastras, Puranas, and Epics belong to the barbaric age. He further stated that is the reason why their wedding methods involve the parents giving the girl, prostituting the girl children and some stranger carrying the girl away by force or stealth.[13]

 

Arranged marriages in general were meant to enable the couple to live together throughout life and derive happiness, satisfaction and a good reputation, even years after the sexual urge and sexual pleasure are forgotten.[14]

 

But, with the selfish manipulation of this pact, Periyar claimed that women find 'pleasure' in slavish marriage because they have been brought up by their parents without education, independence and self-respect and because they have been made to believe that marriage means subordination to males. The inclusion of such slavish women in the group of 'chaste' women is another lure to them, leading them to find pleasure in such marriages.

 

Because a man is also married before he has understood the nature of life, its problems and its pleasures, he is satisfied with the slavish nature of the wife and the sexual pleasure she gives. If he finds any incompatibility, he adapts himself to his partner and the circumstances and puts up with his lot.[14]

 

Love marriages[edit]

Love marriages, claims Periyar, on the other hand will suit only those who have no ideals in life. Such a wedding gives primacy to sexual union along and it is doubtful if it indicates an agreement between the couple for good life. Sexual compatibility alone does not ensure happy married life; the couple should be able to live together cheerfully. Suitability for life or living together can be determined only if the man and woman get used to the company of each other, and are satisfied with each other. Only then, they can enter into an agreement to live together.[13]

 

Periyar further states that love marriages can give pleasure only as long as there is lust and the ability to satisfy that lust. If there is no compatibility between the partners in other respects, such marriages end only in the enslavement of women. The lies of such women resemble the lives of bullocks which are tied to a cart, beaten up and made to labor endlessly until they die.[14]

 

Therefore, there is a proverb stating, "A deeply loving girl is unfit for family life; a suitable life partner is unfit for love." Periyar believed that the agreement between partners to live together will constitute a better marriage than a love marriage.[14]

 

Self-respect marriages[edit]

In a leading article of Viduthalai, Periyar states that a self-respect wedding is based on rationalism. Rationalism is based on the individual's courage. Some may have the courage to conduct it during the time which almanacs indicate as the time of the planet Rahu and that, particularly in the evening. Some others may have just enough daring to avoid the Brahmin priest and his mother tongue - the Sanskrit language.[15] Some may feel nervous about not keeping the traditional lamp burning in broad daylight. Some others may have the rotten thought that conducting a wedding without 'mangala sutra' is disgraceful.

 

Still, the self-respect weddings conducted during the past thirty years have some basic limits. They are: Brahmins and their mantras should be utterly avoided; meaningless rituals, piling mud pots, one on another, having the traditional lamp during day time, ritual smoke - all these should be avoided. Rationalism does not approve of these. Periyar then asks why can't the government pass an Act that legalizes weddings which avoid the above-mentioned superstitious practices. If all these details cannot be accommodated in the Act, the latter can legalize weddings which don't have Brahmin priests, the Sanskrit language and the so called holy fire.[16]

 

Thus, marriages styled as Self-Respect marriages carried a threefold significance: a) replacing the Purohit, b) inter-caste equality, c) man-woman equality. Periyar claimed to have performed Self-Respect marriages unofficially since 1925 and officially since 1928.[17] Self-Respect marriages were legalized in 1967 by the Dravida Munnetra Kazhagam (DMK) Government.[18]

 

Widow-remarriage[edit]

On the remarriage of widows, Periyar states that among the atrocities perpetrated by the Hindu male population against women, here we have to consider the treatment meted out to widows alone. If a girl loses her husband, even before knowing anything of worldly pleasures, she is compelled to close her eyes to everything in the world and die broken-hearted. Even in Periyar's community at the time, there were widowed girls below the age of 13 years. Periyar stated how it is a touching sight to see the parents of those widowed children treating them like untouchables.[19]

 

He goes on to say that whatever may be the reason for the present state of the Hindu society, my firm belief that the low position given permanently to widows may prove to be the reason for the utter ruin of the Hindu religion and the Hindu society.[20]

 

If we try to find the reason for such conduct, we will have to conclude that they instinctively feel that women are slaves, subservient to men and that they must be kept under control. That is why these people treat women like animals. They seem to feel that giving freedom to women is equivalent to committing a very serious crime. The result of this attitude is that there is no independence or freedom to one half of the human race. This wicked enslavement of half of the human race is due to the fact that men are physically a little stronger than women. This principle applies to all spheres of life and the weaker are enslaved by the stronger.

 

If slavery has to be abolished in society, the male arrogance and wickedness which lead to the enslavement of women must be abolished first. Only when this is achieved, the tender sprouts of freedom and equality will register growth.[21]

 

One of the reasons why Periayr hated Hinduism and the orthodoxy practiced in the name of Hinduism was the practice of child marriage. Many of the girl children who were married before they were ten or twelve years old became widows before they knew the meaning of the word. According to the 1921 All India Census the details of the child widows reported living in the country that time were as follows:[22]

 

1 year baby widows - 497

1 to 2 year child widows - 494

2 to 3 year child widows - 1,257

3 to 4 year child widows - 2,837

4 to 5 year child widows - 6,707

Total number of widows - 11,342

5 to 10 year young widows - 85,037

10 to 15 year young widows - 232,147

15 to 20 year young widows - 396,172

20 to 25 year young widows - 742,820

25 to 30 year young widows - 1,163,720

Total number of widows - 2,631,238[22][23]

Periyar was deeply disturbed when he realized that among the widows in India, 11,892 were little children below 5 years and that young widows below 15 years numbering 232,147 were denied the pleasures of life.[24]

 

With regards to the re-marriage of widows, Periyar stated that it is the practice of our people to refer to such a wedding as "a widow's marriage". Such an expression is used only with reference to women and in connection with men. Just as this lady is marrying another husband after the death of the first husband, many men marry again after the death of the first wife. But the second marriage of a man is not referred to as "a widower's marriage", though that is the proper thing to do.

 

Periyar himself was a widower. After becoming one, he took a second wife. He claimed that in the ancient days, both men and women in the country had this practice. There were numerous instances in sastras and puranas of women getting married again after the death of their first husband. Periyar further stated that this is not an unusual practice in the rest of the world though it might appear strange for us at the present time. Christian and Muslim women marry again after the death of the first husband. 90 percent of women in Muslim countries get married again soon after the death of the first husband. This may be unusual in certain sections of Indian societies. But it is a common practice in certain other sections of our society which are called very backward communities.[25]

 

Further, inter-caste marriages and remarriage of widows are on the increase in India. Brahmins oppose these because they are afraid that they cannot exploit the people any more in the name of sastras. For the same reason they oppose the Sharada Act which is necessary for social well-being.[26]

 

Child marriage[edit]

In all the meetings of the non-Brahmins and the Self-Respectors, Periyar condemned child marriages and emphasized the need for educating all girl children and giving right to young widows to get married again.

 

Periyar has been very much against child marriage and stated that it reflects the cruelty to which innocent girls were subjected by their well-meaning parents. Periyar asked that if these parents can be considered civilized in any sense of the term. There was no other leader other than Periyar who reacted against this practice of child marriage.[24]

 

Those who supported child marriage were strongly against Periyar's condemnation of this act. Take for example, the Sharada Act. Those who opposed this Act say that it was against the Sastras to conduct the marriage of a girl after she has attained puberty. They further say that those who conduct such marriages are committing a sin and therefore will go to hell.[27]

 

Chastity[edit]

Periyar claimed that "household duties" have risen out of the foolishness of people and were not natural duties.[28] He went on to say that it was our selfish greed which has multiplied our household work. Nobody need worry that without household work, the women will lose their "chastity". On chastity, Periyar went on to say that it is something that belongs to women and is not a pledge to men. Whatever, chastity is, it was something that belonged to individuals.

 

In society, it was believed that if people lose their chastity, they will get divine punishment. Others are not going to get that punishment. Referring to the doctrines of institutionalized orthodox religions, he went on to say that men need not to worry themselves that women are committing a sin by not doing household work. Thus, let men realize that women are not slaves and that men are not their masters or guardians. Women should be allowed to develop the competence to protect themselves and their chastity and men need not be their watchdogs. He also believed that it was derogatory for men to play such a role.[citation needed]

 

It was said by the orthodox[who?] that women will develop diseases if they lose their chastity. The disease that a woman gets affects the husbands also. If we[who?] educate the women, they will develop the capability to keep themselves and their husbands pure. Thus, Periyar stated in the Kudi Arasu for the society to think deeply about taking a decision and do the right thing for their sisters and girl children.[29]

 

Periyar kindled the thoughts of everybody by also ridiculing the use of the word chastity only with reference to women. (Periyar-Father of Tamil 32) He stated that character is essential for both men and women and that speaking of chastity only with reference to women degraded not merely women but men also. He extended this thought and said that in any sphere of activity, civilized society cannot think of one law for men and another for women. He also said that the way most men treated their women was far worse than the way the upper class people treated the lower class, the way in which rich men treated the poor and the way in which a master treated his slave.[30]

 

Education[edit]

On education, Periyar stated that some foolish parents believe that if girls get educated, they will correspond with their secret lovers. That it is a very foolish and mischievous notion. No parent need be anxious about it. If a girl writes a letter, it will only be to a male. We can even now caution men not to read any love letter addressed to them by a woman and, even if they read it, not to reply to it. If men do not listen to this advice, they, as well as the girls who write them must be punished. It will be a hopelessly bad thing, if parents keep their girl children uneducated for this reason.[29]

 

At a speeched delivered by Periyar at the Prize Distribution function in the Municipal School for Girls at Karungal Palayam, Erode, he stated that girl children should be taught active and energetic exercises like running, high jump, long jump,and wrestling so that they may acquire the strength and courage of men. Their time and energy should not be wasted in light pastimes like Kummi (groups going in a circle, clapping their hands rhythmically) and in Kolatam (striking with sticks rhythmically).

 

In ancient Tamil literature, poets have stressed the value of education for women. In a famous verse, a poet by the name of Naladiar stated that, "What gives beauty to a woman is not the hair style or the patter of her dress or the saffron on her face but only education".[31] In a verse of Eladhi it states, "Beauty does not lie in the style of wailing or in the charm of a blush but only in the combination of numbers and letters (education).[32]

 

In a 1960 issue of Viduthalai Periyar stated that "There should be a drastic revolution in the desires and ideals of Indian women. They should equip themselves to do all types of work that men are doing. They should have good domestic life without allowing nature's obstacles in their own lives. Therefore, there should be a welcome change in the minds of our women. The administrators also most pay special attention to the advancement of women".[33]

 

Armed forces[edit]

Periyar advocated for women to be given weapons to protect themselves in reply to a question put in the Central Legislature. He stated that we have no hope that the state governments will do anything in this sphere because most of the state ministers hold the orthodox belief that women are slavish creatures.[34] Though here and there we[who?] find women also as ministers, they are old-fashioned traditionalists who will say, "We don't want any kind of freedom. We are perfectly happy with slavery".[33]

 

In Periyar's time he explained that ""Indian" women had no self-determination in any sphere of life like education property and marriage. They thought that modern civilization meant dressing themselves like British and American women and adorning themselves. Even our educated women do not entertain any thought that they must enter the police and army departments and learn to pilot airplanes like the women of Russia and Turkey. Just as modern education has made men cowards an book-worms, it has made our women decoratie [sic] dolls and weaklings".[33]

 

In a leading article written by Periyar in Viduthalai in 1946, he claimed that unless there is a drastic, fundamental and revolutionary change in our[who?] administrative machinery, it is impossible to make our women independent beings.[33]

 

Periyar goes on to explain that in our country also, there are thousands of women with the courage, competence and desire to work in the police department. Just as girls going to school was considered wonderful and cycle-riding by girls was considered funny, a few years ago, women on police duty may appear to be wonderful or strange for a few years. Then, in course of time, this will be considered natural.[33]

 

We[who?] need methods that will effect an astounding revolution in the world of women. Until we acquire those methods, we will be moving forward like a tortoise and writing and talking about Drowpath and Sita.[35]

 

Periyar, in a 1932 article of Kudi Arasu, explained that "women should develop physical strength like men. They must take exercise and get training in the use of weapons. They must acquire the ability to protect themselves when any sex-mad person tries to molest them. They should get the necessary training to join the armey [sic] when need arises and fight the enemy. This is the view of all civilized people. Women also wholeheartedly support this view. When the general view in the world is like this, who can accept the statement of some people that there is no use in giving higher education to women?"[33]

 

Birth control[edit]

"Others advocate birth-control, with a view of preserving the health of women and conserving family property; but we advocate it for the liberation of women."[36]

In the Kudi Arasu of 1932, Periyar explained the basic differences between the reasons given to us for contraception and the reasons given by others for this. We say that contraception is necessary for women to gain freedom. Others advocate contraception taking into consideration many problems like the health of women, the health and energy of the children, the poverty of the country and the maintenance of the family property. Many Westerners also support contraception for the same reasons. Our view is not based on these considerations. We recommend that women should stop delivering children altogether because conception stands in the way of women enjoying personal freedom. Further, begetting a number of children prevents men also from being free and independent. This truth will be clear if we listen to talk of men and women when their freedom is hampered.[33]

 

He went on to say how birth control does not aim at preventing the birth of children altogether, but aims only at limiting births. A man and his wife may have two children, or at the most, three children. This birth control policy is against bringing forth an unlimited number of children.[37]

 

While Periyar and the Self-Respect movement were advocating for birth control, Rajaji (C. Rajagopalachariar) very strongly opposed it. Others who opposed birth control was Thiru Adhithanar, the publisher of an extremely popular newspaper, Dina Thandhi at the time. In response to Rajaji's stand against birth control, Periyar explained that he was against this since he was of the Vedic Brahmin community that staunchly engrossed in the Manu Dharma. Thus, limiting births of overpopulation would limit diseases and death from many and therefore leave Brahmin priests without a job of doing ceremonies for the sick and funerals. In a 1959 article of Viduthalai he exclaimed that "If people like Rajaji discover new islands, make the forests habitable, do propaganda for the birth of more and more children and have farms for the upbringing of children, we may be in a position to understand them."[38]

 

During the late 1950s, 80 percent of the men and 90 percent of the women in Tamil Nadu were illiterate. Siriyar argued in a 1959 article in Viduthalai that "in this situation, if birth control is not practiced and people are allowed to have any number of children, the result will be the multiplication of castes among the "Sudras", like washermen, barbers, pot-makers, kuravas or gypsies, hunters, fishermen, famers [sic], toddy tappers, padayachies, pillars, cobblers, pariahs, and a thousand others and a limitless increase in population. The increase in population will force the 'Sudras' to preserve themselves from starvation by standing with folded hands before lazy fellows and calling them 'swami', 'master' and 'landlord'. What good result can we expect if birth control is not adopted?"[39]

 

Previously in a 1933 article of the Kudi Arasu, Periyar, in his words, explained that "even a High Court Judge in India does not know the amount of trouble that a mother takes to bring up a child. If a husband is kind to his wife and shows concern for her health and happiness, he must adopt the contraceptive method. Otherwise, he must be one who could manage to see that in delivery and in the brining [sic] up of children, she does not have much trouble. Therefore, the proper thing to do now is to drastically cut the expenses mentioned above and spend money on the proper upbringing of children with the help of nurses."[40]

 

Property rights and divorce[edit]

With regards to property rights for women, Periyar stated that there was no difference between men and women. He went on to say that like men, women should have the right to own property and enjoy its benefits. With regards to divorce or separations, he advocated that a woman can lie away from her husband if he is an undesirable person and if he has nay virulent disease. When a woman has to live apart from her husband in these circumstances, she is entitled to maintenance allowance and a claim on the husband's property. Even if a widow gets remarried, she must be given the right to claim a share of the first husband's property.[41]

 

On February 4, 1946, the Central Legislature passed an Act giving the right the Hindu married woman to get from her husband in certain circumstances a separate place to live in and a maintenance allowance. Periyar explained how that it was a useless Act. since it seems that the members of the Hindu Mahasabha and Sanadahnis agitated against the grant of even this right.[42]

 

Dowry[edit]

On the Dowry system practiced widely throughout the Indian sub-continent not only by Hindus but Christians too, Periyar calls it a "serious disease that was spreading fast amongst Tamilians". He went on to state that the disease was also found in its virulent form among the Andhras and the Brahmins of Tamil Nadu. Periyar also argued that if a man with property worth one lakh has three daughters, he has to become a beggar by the time these daughters are married. In the name of dowry, the parents of the young men who marry the three daughters, squeeze the man's property out of him.[43]

 

In the 1959 issue of Viduthalai, Periyar stated that, "according to a new legislation, women have the right to a share of the parents' property. Therefore every girl will definitely get her legitimate share from the parents' wealth - if the parents are wealth. It is inhuamane [sic] on the part of the parents of a boy to dump on him a girl whom he does not like and to plan to such as much as they can from the property of the girl's father. There is basically no difference between selling education and love for money and selling one's chastity for money. 'Prostitute' is a germ of contempt for a woman; a boy should not be reduced by his avaricous [sic] parents to get the name, 'a prostituted boy' or 'a boy that has been sold'. A father-in-law who has means, however miserly he may be by nature, will not be indifferent when his daughter suffers out of poverty. Therefore, it is very shameful on the part of the bridegroom's parents to demand from the bride's father that at the time of the marriage he should gie jewels worth so many thousands along with so many thousand rupees as dowry and that he should provide the bridegroom with a house and a care. The fact that another party makes such demands at the time of his daughter's marriage does not justify any parent's demands at the time of his son's wedding. All people must realize that both demanding and giving dowry are wrong and they must boldly declare this when occasion arises."[44]

 

Periyar calls the dowry an evil and exploitative practice depriving tens of thousands of talented and beautiful young women with sound character remaining spinsters without any chance of getting married.[45]

 

Devadasis[edit]

Among the atrocities the Tamil society committed against women was the practice of keeping some women attached to temples as Devadasis. Dr. Muthulakshmi proposed the resolution at the Madras Legislature that the Devadasi system should be abolished. The Government wanted comments on that from all important people. Periyar in his statement pointed out that the Devadasi system was a disgrace to Hindu religion. The fact that, in the name of a temple or a god, some women are kept as common property is an insult to all the women in the society. He also remarked that the prevalence of this system encouraged immorality among men and thus set the pattern for unprincipled life in many families. This was stoutly opposed in the Assembly by Satyamurthi Iyer, an orthodox Congress member, under the pretext of safeguarding the Hindu traditions. It should be said to the credit of Dr. Muthulakshmi and the leaders like Periyar that the proposal of the Doctor was accepted and a law was enacted against the Devadasi system.[30]

 

Periyar's example of the degradation of women in the Devadasi system is explained that "if a man's physical passion is aroused when his wife is not with him, he immediately goes to a prostitute. Rough stones are planted where cows and bufaloes [sic] graze to facilitate the animals to rub against the stones when they feel like it.[46] Likewise, Devadasis served in temples and in all villages rough stones planted on the borders and they say that these two (employing devadasis and the planting rough stones) are aamong [sic] the 32 dharmas mentioned in the sastras. When we consider why his kindness to the suffering and also the 32 dharmas are all bogus".[46]

 

Resolutions passed[edit]

As the Self-Respect conference held in Chengalpattu, Tamil Nadu in 1929, the following were among the many resolutions passed with regards for women's rights:

 

Women should be given equal right along with men for the family property.

There should be no objection to employing women to any job for which they are qualified.[47]

Schools, particularly schools, should try to employ only women teachers.

At the conference held in Erode in 1930, the same resolutions were passed again reminding the delegates and others that the interest of women was still uppermost in Periyar's mind. M.R. Jayakar who presided oer the Erode conference was greatly impressed by the progressive views of Periyar and other members. He was particularly happy that the movement included not merely non-Brahmin Hindus but Christians and Muslims too. He pointed out that the Self-Respect movement was more progressive than Congress. Furthermore, at the Virudhnagar conference the women members held a separate conference and passed some resolutions demanding that women should have the right to select their life partners without any consideration of religion or community and that weddings should not involve wasteful expenditure and elaborate ceremonies.[47]

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based on historical facts. BEWARE!

  

Some background:

Following Hungary's membership of NATO in 1999, there were several proposals to achieve a NATO-compatible fighter force. Considerable attention went into studying second-hand aircraft options as well as modifying the nation's existing MiG-29 fleet. In 2001, Hungary received several offers of new and used aircraft from various nations, including Sweden, Belgium, Israel, Turkey, and the US. Although the Hungarian government initially intended to procure the F-16, in November 2001 it was in the process of negotiating a 10-year lease contract for 12 Gripen aircraft from Sweden, with an option to purchase the aircraft at the end of the lease period.

As part of the procurement arrangements, Saab had offered an offset deal valued at 110 per cent of the cost of the 14 fighters. Initially, Hungary had planned to lease several Batch II Saab 39s; however, the inability to conduct aerial refueling and weapons compatibility limitations had generated Hungarian misgivings. The contract was then renegotiated and eventually signed on 2 February 2003 for a total of 14 Gripens, which had originally been A/B standard and had undergone an extensive upgrade process to the NATO-compatible C/D 'Export Gripen' standard. At the same time, the need for an advanced jet trainer as a replacement for the Hungarian Air Force’s last eight MiG-21UM aircraft became more and more imminent. The Gripen two-seaters alone could not cope with this task and were operationally too expensive to be used as trainers, so that Hungary requested an additional offer for a small number of Sk 90 trainers from Swedish surplus stock.

 

Developed under the designation FSK900, the Saab Sk 90 was a replacement for the Saab 105 (also known as Saab Sk 60) transitional trainer, light attack and reconnaissance aircraft. The FSK900 was a conservative design, with a configurational resemblance to the Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet, even though the FSK900 was overall bigger and heavier, and the two machines could be easily told apart at a glance.

The Swedish Air Force accepted Saab’s design, leading to a contract for two nonflying static-test airframes and four flying prototypes. Detail design was complete by the end of 1993 and prototype construction began in the spring of 1994, leading to the initial prototype’s first flight on 29 July 1994. The first production Sk 90 A, how the basic trainer type was officially dubbed, was delivered to the Swedish Air Force in 1996.

A total of 108 production Sk 90s were built until 1999 for Sweden in several versions. The initial Sk 90 A trainer was the most common variant and the basis for the Sk 90 B version, which carried a weather radar as well as more sophisticated avionics that enabled the deployment of a wider range of weapons and other ordnance. However, this version was not adopted by the Swedish air force but exported to Austria as the Sk 90 Ö. Another variant was the S 90 C (for “Spaning” = reconnaissance); a small number was produced with a set of cameras in the nose for the Swedish Air Force, where it replaced the ground attack/reconnaissance Sk 60 Cs.

 

In service, the Sk 90 was regarded as strong, agile, and pleasant to fly, while being cheap to operate. But despite its qualities and potential, the Sk 90 did not attain much foreign interest, primarily suffering from bad timing and from the focus on domestic demands. The aircraft came effectively 10 years too late to become a serious export success, and in the end the Sk 90 was very similar to the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet (even though it was cheaper to operate), at a time when the German Luftwaffe started to prematurely phase out its attack-capable variant and flooded the global market with cheap secondhand aircraft in excellent condition. Furthermore, the Saab Sk 90 had on the global market with the BAe Hawk another proven competitor with a long and positive operational track record all over the world.

 

Beyond Hungary, potential Sk 90 buyers were Malaysia as well as Singapore, Myanmar, Finland, and Poland. Austria eventually procured 36 Sk 90 Ö in 2002, replacing its Saab 105 fleet and keeping up its close connection with Saab since the Seventies. A late operator became the independent Republic of Scotland in 2017, with a dozen leased secondhand Saab Sk 90 A trainers which were later purchased.

 

The Swedish Sk 90 offer for Hungary was a 10-year lease contract similar to the Gripen package, and comprised five refurbished Sk 90 A trainers from the first production batch, which had been stored in Sweden for spares. The Hungarian Sk 90 deal also included an option to purchase the aircraft at the end of their lease period. In parallel, to save maintenance costs for the relatively small fleet of a completely new/different aircraft type, an agreement with neighboring neutral Austria could be arranged to outsource major overhauls to the Austrian Air Force and its newly established Sk 90 Ö service base at Linz – a deal from which both sides benefited. However, to improve flight safety over Austria’s mountainous terrain during these transfer flights, the Hungarian Sk 90 As had a simple navigational radar retrofitted with a small radome in their noses. Otherwise, the machines were basically identical with the original Swedish aircraft.

 

The aircraft were flown under civil registration from Sweden to Hungary between April and September 2005. To keep the distance to their Austrian service station short, the machines were not allocated to the 59th Air Regiment at Kecskemét Air Base, where the Hungarian Gripen fleet was based, but rather to the 47th Air Regiment at Pápa Air Base in Northwestern Hungary, where the last Hungarian MiG-21UM trainers had been operated. These were fully retired in 2008.

Beyond their primary role as advanced/jet conversion trainers, the Hungarian Sk 90 As were also intended to be used for tactical reconnaissance duties with Orpheus pods with daylight cameras and an infrared line scanner, inherited from the Italian Air Force, as light attack aircraft and ─ armed with gun pods and air-to-air missiles ─ as (anti-tank) helicopter hunters. Reflecting these low-level tasks, the machines received a tactical camouflage in green and tan, similar to the former MiG-21s, instead of the Gripens’ all-grey air superiority scheme.

 

While the Hungarian Air Force operated its total of 14 Gripen and 5 Sk 90 aircraft under lease, in 2011, the country reportedly intended to purchase these aircraft outright. However, in January 2012, the Hungarian and Swedish governments agreed to extend the lease period for a further ten years. According to Hungarian Defence Minister Csaba Hende, this agreement represented considerable cost savings, so that the running business model was retained. The service agreement with Austria could be extended, too.

 

One Sk 90 A was lost in a landing accident in May 2016, and two Gripens had to be written off through accidents in the meantime, too. To fill these gaps, Hungary signed a replacement contract in 2018 to come back to its full fleet of 14 Gripen, and the Sk 90 A fleet was expanded to seven aircraft. These new machines were delivered in 2019.

The kit and its assembly:

This additional member of my fictional Sk 90 family came spontaneously when I studied information concerning the MiG-21. I came across the Hungarian trainers and wondered with what they could have been replaced after 2000 – and “my” fictional Sk 90 came to my mind. I also had a suitable decal set in store, so I dug out a(nother) Hasegawa T-4 and created this whiffy Hungarian variant.

 

The kit is the old/first T-4 mold; Hasegawa did the T-4 twice, and both kits differ considerably from each other in their construction. The first one has a fuselage consisting of two simple halves with separate wings attached to it; the later mold features a separate cockpit section and a single dorsal wing section, so that the wings’ anhedral is ensured upon assembly.

The air intakes are also different: the old mold features ducts which are open at their ends, while the new mold comes with additional inserts for the intakes which end in a concave wall, making them hard to paint. The fin of the old kit consists of two full halves, while the new one has the rudder molded into just one half of the fin for a thinner trailing edge. The same goes for the wings’ upper halves: on the new mold, they comprise the full flaps and ailerons, while the old kit has them split up, resulting in a marginally thicker training edge. However, you can hardly recognize this and it’s IMHO not a flaw.

Personally, I prefer the old kit, because it is much more straightforward and pleasant to build – even though some details like the main landing gear struts are better on the new mold.

 

The (old) kit itself is relatively simple and fit is quite good, even though some PSR was necessary on almost every seam. The only mods I made are additional emergency handles on the seats (made from thin wire), and I added an Orpheus recce pod under the fuselage with an integral pylon, left over from an Italeri F-104G kit. The OOB underwing pylons were used, together with the original drop tanks.

  

Painting and markings:

The prime reason for a Hungarian Sk 90 was the paint scheme, and the fact that I have a sweet spot for Hungary in genarl. The livery was adapted from the late Hungarian MiG-21bis, a more or less symmetrical pattern consisting of a yellowish light tan and a bluish dark green, with light blue undersides. It’s actually a very simple paint scheme, and my adaptation is a free interpretation, since the T-4’s layout with shoulder-mounted wings is quite different from the sleek Fishbed with mid-mounted delta wings.

 

Finding good color matches was not easy, because pictures of reference Hungarian MiG-21s show a wide variety of green and brown shades, even though I assume that this is just weathering. I found some good pictures of a late MiG-21UM trainer with an apparently fresh paint job, and these suggested a hard contrast between the upper tones. With this benchmark I settled for Humbrol 63 (Sand), and Modelmaster 2091 (RLM 82, Dunkelgrün). The undersides were painted with Humbrol 47 (Sea Blue Gloss), since they appeared rather bright and pale in reference pictures.

The cockpit interior was painted in medium grey (Revell 47), the landing gear and the air intakes in white (Revell 301), very conservative. The Orpheus pod was painted in light grey (FS 36375, Humbrol 127) to set it apart from the light blue undersurfaces. The drop tanks were painted in green and blue.

 

National markings, the large orange “47” decoration and the small emblems on nose and fin came from a Mistercraft MiG-21UM decal sheet. The tactical code in red, etched with white, was created with single digits from a Hungarian Aero Decals (HAD) sheet for Mi-24s, reflecting the aircraft’s (fictional) serial numbers’ final three digits.

Finally, after some light weathering and post-shading (for a slightly sun-bleached look, esp. on the upper surfaces), the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).

  

Number four in my growing Sk 90 family, and certainly not the last one. A quick and simple project since the model itself was built almost OOB, and the “old” Hasegawa T-4 is really a simple build. However, I am amazed (once more) how much potential a T-4 travesty bears: even in Hungarian colors and markings this whif looks disturbingly convincing. The green/brown/blue paint scheme suits the aircraft well, too, even though it looks a lot like an Alpha Jet now, and there’s even a Su-25ish look to it?!

Nothing you see here is real, even though the conversion or the presented background story might be based on historical facts. BEWARE!

  

Some background:

Following Hungary's membership of NATO in 1999, there were several proposals to achieve a NATO-compatible fighter force. Considerable attention went into studying second-hand aircraft options as well as modifying the nation's existing MiG-29 fleet. In 2001, Hungary received several offers of new and used aircraft from various nations, including Sweden, Belgium, Israel, Turkey, and the US. Although the Hungarian government initially intended to procure the F-16, in November 2001 it was in the process of negotiating a 10-year lease contract for 12 Gripen aircraft from Sweden, with an option to purchase the aircraft at the end of the lease period.

As part of the procurement arrangements, Saab had offered an offset deal valued at 110 per cent of the cost of the 14 fighters. Initially, Hungary had planned to lease several Batch II Saab 39s; however, the inability to conduct aerial refueling and weapons compatibility limitations had generated Hungarian misgivings. The contract was then renegotiated and eventually signed on 2 February 2003 for a total of 14 Gripens, which had originally been A/B standard and had undergone an extensive upgrade process to the NATO-compatible C/D 'Export Gripen' standard. At the same time, the need for an advanced jet trainer as a replacement for the Hungarian Air Force’s last eight MiG-21UM aircraft became more and more imminent. The Gripen two-seaters alone could not cope with this task and were operationally too expensive to be used as trainers, so that Hungary requested an additional offer for a small number of Sk 90 trainers from Swedish surplus stock.

 

Developed under the designation FSK900, the Saab Sk 90 was a replacement for the Saab 105 (also known as Saab Sk 60) transitional trainer, light attack and reconnaissance aircraft. The FSK900 was a conservative design, with a configurational resemblance to the Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet, even though the FSK900 was overall bigger and heavier, and the two machines could be easily told apart at a glance.

The Swedish Air Force accepted Saab’s design, leading to a contract for two nonflying static-test airframes and four flying prototypes. Detail design was complete by the end of 1993 and prototype construction began in the spring of 1994, leading to the initial prototype’s first flight on 29 July 1994. The first production Sk 90 A, how the basic trainer type was officially dubbed, was delivered to the Swedish Air Force in 1996.

A total of 108 production Sk 90s were built until 1999 for Sweden in several versions. The initial Sk 90 A trainer was the most common variant and the basis for the Sk 90 B version, which carried a weather radar as well as more sophisticated avionics that enabled the deployment of a wider range of weapons and other ordnance. However, this version was not adopted by the Swedish air force but exported to Austria as the Sk 90 Ö. Another variant was the S 90 C (for “Spaning” = reconnaissance); a small number was produced with a set of cameras in the nose for the Swedish Air Force, where it replaced the ground attack/reconnaissance Sk 60 Cs.

 

In service, the Sk 90 was regarded as strong, agile, and pleasant to fly, while being cheap to operate. But despite its qualities and potential, the Sk 90 did not attain much foreign interest, primarily suffering from bad timing and from the focus on domestic demands. The aircraft came effectively 10 years too late to become a serious export success, and in the end the Sk 90 was very similar to the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet (even though it was cheaper to operate), at a time when the German Luftwaffe started to prematurely phase out its attack-capable variant and flooded the global market with cheap secondhand aircraft in excellent condition.

I heard about a dating site, www.soul2match.com, that claims their biometric software analyzes 1,000 features of the face to determine compatibility with other users. The idea is that you will be matched with people who have similar genetic makeup, based on the picture you submit to them. That means that you will be matched with somebody that looks a bit like you.

 

There is no profile to fill out, just one little area to mention hobbies, another area to mention things you like, select an education level, and a religion – I don’t think the information entered there is used for any searches.

 

So, I submitted my picture, and wandered around the small website. There isn’t a way to search for somebody in a particular region, which would mean this is a total waste of a website to anybody who is actually looking for somebody to go out with. The website is still in Beta, so, maybe the option to search in a particular location is on the way. However, I’m starting to get the feeling I just gave my e-mail address to spammers, with no chance of winning a new car or vacation.

 

The Wall is where the matching is done. At the top of the “Flirt Wall,” there are pictures of people. The search can be narrowed to country, sex, and age range. I selected my parameters and ten different (I think) pictures appeared at the top. I clicked the first picture, and a larger picture loaded in the middle of the page, with a little bit of information about her - age, gender, what she is looking for (Men, Women, or Both), country, education, and religion, and how well her picture matches other users. I clicked the “Make match” button, and saw that we were 2% compatible. Repeating the process for each picture to the right, I saw 1%, 10%, 19%, 3%, 45%, 3%, 54%, and 36%. I could have selected the next range of pictures, but, this seemed like a waste of time. The best matches should be right up front. And I’m almost positive these girls could be anywhere in the United States.

 

At this point, I can’t call this a dating site.

 

But, there is still foolery to be done here, so I went to the “Match” Wall, where I was able to upload pictures from my computer (one at a time), and find out what Soul2Match has to say about our compatibility. Below is a screenshot that shows the last three entrees I made.

 

Pictures are displayed with the last entry on top. Third from the top, you see my ex-girlfriend, who was rated at 50% compatibility for me. Other pictures I submitted of her were 60%, and 51%. I expected a much higher compatibility score since we have always gotten along very well, and, people even say that we look like brother/sister.

 

Second from the top is the last picture I had easily available to me… the 22 year old blonde, who was rated as 29% compatible.

 

And, finally, at the top is a picture I found on the internet of a topless woman who was marching in a parade to protest that it is unfair that men don’t have to wear shirts, but women do. I looked for a picture of a topless woman because I was getting the impression that women who were showing more skin were getting higher compatibility ratings. When I submit a picture, Soul2Match’s biometric processor cropped the picture from a waist-up picture to what you see. I was completely shocked when this picture gave the highest compatibility rating I’d seen of 83%. Having seen the results for this picture, I went back to look at the other pictures I had submitted to see if my “show more skin for higher ratings” hypothesis was true. Alas, I discovered that my compatibility with mostly un-clothed women is no better than my compatibility with fully clothed women… Rats… Foiled again. Looking critically at the picture, though, I realize why it rated so highly… Our mouths and lips are about the same size, our cheekbones are about the same size and prominence, we have similar wrinkles around our mouths and eyes, we both have small eyes and button noses, etc.. I discovered that what I did when I looked for this picture was especially telling. I had looked for a picture of a woman at flickr.com that I thought was beautiful, and this is what I landed on after about one minute. Let this be a lesson to women with a few wrinkles that they are still beautiful!

 

On to other general findings about the ratings from Soul2Match: Keep in mind that there is no science in my scheme. I’m just a guy with beer and a blog.

 

Since Soul2Match says compatibility is based on similarities in facial features, I figured a girl who looks like me would rank highly. So, I put two pictures of my sister in there. Granted, her pictures are about 25 years old (I was too lazy to connect my external hard drive to get to the recent pictures), but, I suspected there should be enough similarity to get a high ranking. The compatibility rating for my sister is 28.5%, and the average for all of the ratings is 22%.

 

For the 22% average, I only used 49 of the samples, since the one I used to check compatibility with myself shouldn’t count. I’m only 99% compatible with myself, by the way.

 

21 of the women in the list of women that I checked for compatibility with have done some kind of modeling. I’m not even going to check the average compatibility score. Actually, I’m afraid to look… could it be that I am not compatible with any models?!?! Well… I have to know. I changed my mind, and added it up. I am apparently compatible with 21% of the models. That is very encouraging, especially since the average age of the models was around 22 years old.

 

Here is more proof that Soul2Match isn’t necessarily a dating site. They are predicting how well people would get along. One of the pictures I submitted was of a young girl, about 12 years old, I think. Our compatibility rating is 28%.

 

Maybe I should do this test again, using more people I know well. Or, then again, maybe I’ve wasted enough time. It was only mildly amusing. I'll stick with OkCupid.

 

Testing for electromagnetic interference/electromagnetic compatibility (EMI/EMC) testing on the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft at Lockheed Martin.

In the past few days I established that my new Nikon 1 camera is a capable device in its own right. Today I added the functionality for more field of view reach with my current array of Nikkor F-mount lenses (adding the 2.7x magnification in the Nikon 1 thanks to a just delivered FT1 adapter). My Nikon 1 presents the unique combination of a small compact camera body, compatibility with F-mount Nikkor lenses - and a big 2.7x crop factor.

 

When Nikon entered the mirrorless interchangeable lens digital market in October 2011, they chose the road less traveled, at least in terms of sensor size. Everyone in the market up to that point packed sensor sizes straight out of a APS-c DSLR (w/ a 1.5x crop), Nikon chose to go in the other direction. More than a few eyebrows were raised as the the Nikon 1 system carried a sensor with the Nikon designation "CX" along with a 2.7x crop factor.

 

Nikon held the resolution down to 10.1 megapixels which gave hope that the overall small sensor size might still deliver some decent high ISO noise performance (but skeptics noted that Nikon seemed to be bypassing larger sized sensors that, generally, would provide the better noise performance that was one of the major selling points for this new class of camera).

 

Almost overlooked in all the hoopla surrounding the introduction of the Nikon 1 in 2011 was this single sentence, buried deep in the press release: "Additionally, the FT1 F-mount adapter for legacy Nikkor lenses will be available in the future, so that photographers can utilize their collection of quality Nikkor lenses." The available FT1 F-mount adapter along with a camera bag full of Nikkor F-mount glass was my catalyst for the Nikon 1 purchase.

 

Equipping my Nikon1 with the FT1 adapter alone didn't change much in the way of weight and balance initially; the Nikon 1 10-30mm zoom weighs in at about 4.6 ounces and extends a minimum about 2.5 inches forward from the camera body. The FT1 adapter weighs in at 6 ounces and extends about 1.5 inches in front of the camera; the foot of the FT-1 is metal and threaded with the industry-standard 3/8 inch fitting to accept a tripod or ball head stud.

 

After I attached some F mount glass things start to get interesting. Currently, Nikon lists 65 current F-mount lenses that function with the FT1 on a Nikon 1, and without exception these lenses do not share the compact size and light weight of the Nikon 1 lens. Nevertheless, the Nikkor (and Sigma for Nikon) lenses I attached were surprisingly comfortable when hand held on the Nikon 1. Ease of handling is directly related to the barrel length of lens being used - shorter lenses handle easy attached to the Nikon 1, while longer lenses, particularly my 28-300mm (which when fully extended is about 12 inches) takes a bit more attention when balancing in my hand for shooting.

 

I have done some sample captures on this Nikon 1 with a Nikkor 28-300mm (75.6-810mm w/ the 2.7x crop), a Nikkor 35mm (94.5mm w/ the 2.7x crop), a Sigma 24-70mm (64.8- 89mm w/ the 2.7x crop) and a Sigma 15mm Fisheye (40.5mm w/ the 2.7 crop), a Nikkor 14-24mm (33.6-64.8mm w/ the 2.7x crop), and a Rikonon 8mm Fisheye (21.6mm w/ the 2.7x crop).

Some background:

Following Hungary's membership of NATO in 1999, there were several proposals to achieve a NATO-compatible fighter force. Considerable attention went into studying second-hand aircraft options as well as modifying the nation's existing MiG-29 fleet. In 2001, Hungary received several offers of new and used aircraft from various nations, including Sweden, Belgium, Israel, Turkey, and the US. Although the Hungarian government initially intended to procure the F-16, in November 2001 it was in the process of negotiating a 10-year lease contract for 12 Gripen aircraft from Sweden, with an option to purchase the aircraft at the end of the lease period.

As part of the procurement arrangements, Saab had offered an offset deal valued at 110 per cent of the cost of the 14 fighters. Initially, Hungary had planned to lease several Batch II Saab 39s; however, the inability to conduct aerial refueling and weapons compatibility limitations had generated Hungarian misgivings. The contract was then renegotiated and eventually signed on 2 February 2003 for a total of 14 Gripens, which had originally been A/B standard and had undergone an extensive upgrade process to the NATO-compatible C/D 'Export Gripen' standard. At the same time, the need for an advanced jet trainer as a replacement for the Hungarian Air Force’s last eight MiG-21UM aircraft became more and more imminent. The Gripen two-seaters alone could not cope with this task and were operationally too expensive to be used as trainers, so that Hungary requested an additional offer for a small number of Sk 90 trainers from Swedish surplus stock.

 

Developed under the designation FSK900, the Saab Sk 90 was a replacement for the Saab 105 (also known as Saab Sk 60) transitional trainer, light attack and reconnaissance aircraft. The FSK900 was a conservative design, with a configurational resemblance to the Dassault-Dornier Alpha Jet, even though the FSK900 was overall bigger and heavier, and the two machines could be easily told apart at a glance.

The Swedish Air Force accepted Saab’s design, leading to a contract for two nonflying static-test airframes and four flying prototypes. Detail design was complete by the end of 1993 and prototype construction began in the spring of 1994, leading to the initial prototype’s first flight on 29 July 1994. The first production Sk 90 A, how the basic trainer type was officially dubbed, was delivered to the Swedish Air Force in 1996.

A total of 108 production Sk 90s were built until 1999 for Sweden in several versions. The initial Sk 90 A trainer was the most common variant and the basis for the Sk 90 B version, which carried a weather radar as well as more sophisticated avionics that enabled the deployment of a wider range of weapons and other ordnance. However, this version was not adopted by the Swedish air force but exported to Austria as the Sk 90 Ö. Another variant was the S 90 C (for “Spaning” = reconnaissance); a small number was produced with a set of cameras in the nose for the Swedish Air Force, where it replaced the ground attack/reconnaissance Sk 60 Cs.

 

In service, the Sk 90 was regarded as strong, agile, and pleasant to fly, while being cheap to operate. But despite its qualities and potential, the Sk 90 did not attain much foreign interest, primarily suffering from bad timing and from the focus on domestic demands. The aircraft came effectively 10 years too late to become a serious export success, and in the end the Sk 90 was very similar to the Dassault/Dornier Alpha Jet (even though it was cheaper to operate), at a time when the German Luftwaffe started to prematurely phase out its attack-capable variant and flooded the global market with cheap secondhand aircraft in excellent condition. Furthermore, the Saab Sk 90 had on the global market with the BAe Hawk another proven competitor with a long and positive operational track record all over the world.

 

Beyond Hungary, potential Sk 90 buyers were Malaysia as well as Singapore, Myanmar, Finland, and Poland. Austria eventually procured 36 Sk 90 Ö in 2002, replacing its Saab 105 fleet and keeping up its close connection with Saab since the Seventies. A late operator became the independent Republic of Scotland in 2017, with a dozen leased secondhand Saab Sk 90 A trainers which were later purchased.

 

The Swedish Sk 90 offer for Hungary was a 10-year lease contract similar to the Gripen package, and comprised five refurbished Sk 90 A trainers from the first production batch, which had been stored in Sweden for spares. The Hungarian Sk 90 deal also included an option to purchase the aircraft at the end of their lease period. In parallel, to save maintenance costs for the relatively small fleet of a completely new/different aircraft type, an agreement with neighboring neutral Austria could be arranged to outsource major overhauls to the Austrian Air Force and its newly established Sk 90 Ö service base at Linz – a deal from which both sides benefited. However, to improve flight safety over Austria’s mountainous terrain during these transfer flights, the Hungarian Sk 90 As had a simple navigational radar retrofitted with a small radome in their noses. Otherwise, the machines were basically identical with the original Swedish aircraft.

 

The aircraft were flown under civil registration from Sweden to Hungary between April and September 2005. To keep the distance to their Austrian service station short, the machines were not allocated to the 59th Air Regiment at Kecskemét Air Base, where the Hungarian Gripen fleet was based, but rather to the 47th Air Regiment at Pápa Air Base in Northwestern Hungary, where the last Hungarian MiG-21UM trainers had been operated. These were fully retired in 2008.

Beyond their primary role as advanced/jet conversion trainers, the Hungarian Sk 90 As were also intended to be used for tactical reconnaissance duties with Orpheus pods with daylight cameras and an infrared line scanner, inherited from the Italian Air Force, as light attack aircraft and ─ armed with gun pods and air-to-air missiles ─ as (anti-tank) helicopter hunters. Reflecting these low-level tasks, the machines received a tactical camouflage in green and tan, similar to the former MiG-21s, instead of the Gripens’ all-grey air superiority scheme.

 

While the Hungarian Air Force operated its total of 14 Gripen and 5 Sk 90 aircraft under lease, in 2011, the country reportedly intended to purchase these aircraft outright. However, in January 2012, the Hungarian and Swedish governments agreed to extend the lease period for a further ten years. According to Hungarian Defence Minister Csaba Hende, this agreement represented considerable cost savings, so that the running business model was retained. The service agreement with Austria could be extended, too.

 

One Sk 90 A was lost in a landing accident in May 2016, and two Gripens had to be written off through accidents in the meantime, too. To fill these gaps, Hungary signed a replacement contract in 2018 to come back to its full fleet of 14 Gripen, and the Sk 90 A fleet was expanded to seven aircraft. These new machines were delivered in 2019.

The kit and its assembly:

This additional member of my fictional Sk 90 family came spontaneously when I studied information concerning the MiG-21. I came across the Hungarian trainers and wondered with what they could have been replaced after 2000 – and “my” fictional Sk 90 came to my mind. I also had a suitable decal set in store, so I dug out a(nother) Hasegawa T-4 and created this whiffy Hungarian variant.

 

The kit is the old/first T-4 mold; Hasegawa did the T-4 twice, and both kits differ considerably from each other in their construction. The first one has a fuselage consisting of two simple halves with separate wings attached to it; the later mold features a separate cockpit section and a single dorsal wing section, so that the wings’ anhedral is ensured upon assembly.

The air intakes are also different: the old mold features ducts which are open at their ends, while the new mold comes with additional inserts for the intakes which end in a concave wall, making them hard to paint. The fin of the old kit consists of two full halves, while the new one has the rudder molded into just one half of the fin for a thinner trailing edge. The same goes for the wings’ upper halves: on the new mold, they comprise the full flaps and ailerons, while the old kit has them split up, resulting in a marginally thicker training edge. However, you can hardly recognize this and it’s IMHO not a flaw.

Personally, I prefer the old kit, because it is much more straightforward and pleasant to build – even though some details like the main landing gear struts are better on the new mold.

 

The (old) kit itself is relatively simple and fit is quite good, even though some PSR was necessary on almost every seam. The only mods I made are additional emergency handles on the seats (made from thin wire), and I added an Orpheus recce pod under the fuselage with an integral pylon, left over from an Italeri F-104G kit. The OOB underwing pylons were used, together with the original drop tanks.

  

Painting and markings:

The prime reason for a Hungarian Sk 90 was the paint scheme, and the fact that I have a sweet spot for Hungary in genarl. The livery was adapted from the late Hungarian MiG-21bis, a more or less symmetrical pattern consisting of a yellowish light tan and a bluish dark green, with light blue undersides. It’s actually a very simple paint scheme, and my adaptation is a free interpretation, since the T-4’s layout with shoulder-mounted wings is quite different from the sleek Fishbed with mid-mounted delta wings.

 

Finding good color matches was not easy, because pictures of reference Hungarian MiG-21s show a wide variety of green and brown shades, even though I assume that this is just weathering. I found some good pictures of a late MiG-21UM trainer with an apparently fresh paint job, and these suggested a hard contrast between the upper tones. With this benchmark I settled for Humbrol 63 (Sand), and Modelmaster 2091 (RLM 82, Dunkelgrün). The undersides were painted with Humbrol 47 (Sea Blue Gloss), since they appeared rather bright and pale in reference pictures.

The cockpit interior was painted in medium grey (Revell 47), the landing gear and the air intakes in white (Revell 301), very conservative. The Orpheus pod was painted in light grey (FS 36375, Humbrol 127) to set it apart from the light blue undersurfaces. The drop tanks were painted in green and blue.

 

National markings, the large orange “47” decoration and the small emblems on nose and fin came from a Mistercraft MiG-21UM decal sheet. The tactical code in red, etched with white, was created with single digits from a Hungarian Aero Decals (HAD) sheet for Mi-24s, reflecting the aircraft’s (fictional) serial numbers’ final three digits.

Finally, after some light weathering and post-shading (for a slightly sun-bleached look, esp. on the upper surfaces), the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).

  

Number four in my growing Sk 90 family, and certainly not the last one. A quick and simple project since the model itself was built almost OOB, and the “old” Hasegawa T-4 is really a simple build. However, I am amazed (once more) how much potential a T-4 travesty bears: even in Hungarian colors and markings this whif looks disturbingly convincing. The green/brown/blue paint scheme suits the aircraft well, too, even though it looks a lot like an Alpha Jet now, and there’s even a Su-25ish look to it?!

Finding good color matches was not easy, because pictures of reference Hungarian MiG-21s show a wide variety of green and brown shades, even though I assume that this is just weathering. I found some good pictures of a late MiG-21UM trainer with an apparently fresh paint job, and these suggested a hard contrast between the upper tones. With this benchmark I settled for Humbrol 63 (Sand), and Modelmaster 2091 (RLM 82, Dunkelgrün). The undersides were painted with Humbrol 47 (Sea Blue Gloss), since they appeared rather bright and pale in reference pictures.

The cockpit interior was painted in medium grey (Revell 47), the landing gear and the air intakes in white (Revell 301), very conservative. The Orpheus pod was painted in light grey (FS 36375, Humbrol 127) to set it apart from the light blue undersurfaces. The drop tanks were painted in green and blue.

 

National markings, the large orange “47” decoration and the small emblems on nose and fin came from a Mistercraft MiG-21UM decal sheet. The tactical code in red, etched with white, was created with single digits from a Hungarian Aero Decals (HAD) sheet for Mi-24s, reflecting the aircraft’s (fictional) serial numbers’ final three digits.

Finally, after some light weathering and post-shading (for a slightly sun-bleached look, esp. on the upper surfaces), the kit was sealed with matt acrylic varnish (Italeri).

  

Number four in my growing Sk 90 family, and certainly not the last one. A quick and simple project since the model itself was built almost OOB, and the “old” Hasegawa T-4 is really a simple build. However, I am amazed (once more) how much potential a T-4 travesty bears: even in Hungarian colors and markings this whif looks disturbingly convincing. The green/brown/blue paint scheme suits the aircraft well, too, even though it looks a lot like an Alpha Jet now, and there’s even a Su-25ish look to it?!

The suggested main features of this advanced track system are the following:

-100% compatibility with the existing track system;

-16 studs module in length and in track distance;

-multipurpose, variable, compact switches;

-little length rail parts for proper connections;

-reddish brown slippers that made of removable tiles with mat surface;

-dark gray track like the existing track;

-dark gray ballast molded in one piece with the track (to lower the cost).

 

Please support. The bigger support, the greater variability.

First tandem ride with my six year old stoker! Notice the crank shorteners. Somehow the bike doesn't quite live up to its 36" stoker compatibility (she's 45", but perhaps her legs are short). As a rule, I don't ever ride in public parks, but as a maiden voyage, I wanted a few spins around on the soft grass before venturing out on the cruel streets.

 

The verdict: this bike is SO stable and confidence-inspiring. The stoker's position keeps the center of gravity so low that the bike is almost as easy to balance as a regular bike. This also allows the stoker to mount and dismount the bike all on her own, something not possible with a traditional tandem converted for use with a child stoker. Both captain and stoker effortlessly completed our first 5-mile ride, including the final climb back to our house.

“Music creates order out of chaos: for rhythm imposes unanimity upon the divergent, melody imposes continuity upon the disjointed, and harmony imposes compatibility upon the incongruous.”

 

—Yehudi Menuhin

Finnish Army Soldiers taking part in Exercise Arctic Sheild: The aim of the exercise was to develop the performance of the ground in arctic conditions, to test the skills of a trained group and to increase compatibility with Swedish soldiers December 2018

Galapagos "Kissing" Sea Lions. Sea lions aren't actually kissing, they are using naso-nasal touching, or breath exchange, to recognize each other via unique scents from muzzle glands. Mothers identify pups this way among crowds during breeding season, while adults check kinship or mating compatibility.

A technology cross-section

 

- In 1991 Porsche followed up on the 944 S2 with the Type 968. The developers' motto was "power, design and environment compatibility".

- The technical and structural advances of the 968 were substantive enough that it was positioned as a new series.

- The VarioCam valve timing control was a highlight of the engine. It resolved the contradictory goals of high power and high torque.

- Like the Porsche 911 and 928, the Porsche 968 was built in Zuffenhausen.

British Supersonic low level attack aircraft dating from the 1970's. This is the 7th version which is still in active service. Improvements include aerodynamic changes and more compatibility with new weapons. It has a lighter fuselage due to the use of new composite materials, more powerful Rolls- Royce Olympus engines, and an advanced avionics suite. The aircraft has a maximum speed of Mach 2.5 in level flight at 50,000 ft. But it is known for its' sea level maximum speed of Mach 1.3. It has a massive take off run when fully loaded, owing to its' sender ogival delta wing, and high take off weight. However, the use of flap blowing after the 2nd version aided to shorten this take off run, and facilitate greater handling at low speed

 

The aircraft has no internal gun, but can use a gun pod under its' wing.

 

Shown here is the aircraft in a fully loaded configuration, with external fuel tanks, unguided and GPS guided bombs

 

Thanks to Mad Physicist for the use of his F-111 nose design

Shot from my new camera Canon Power Shot SX50 HS. Very good zoom 50x and raw compatibility

Borrowed the back from the kardan that I failed to become friends with anyway. I the love compatibility of components between two cameras built 10 years or so apart, none of this modernistic forced redundancy ! Sofar spotted one pinhole in the bellows and the cameras own back that is in a sorry state can now be rebuilt when I feel like it.

Teams from ESA and NASA worked during the week of 19 July 2013 at a Zurich, Switzerland, facility owned by ESA’s industrial partner RUAG to conduct compatibility testing between the Ladee orbiter terminal and the ESA ground station terminal. The NASA team, supported by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Lincoln Laboratory and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, brought over their laser terminal simulator, while ESA together with RUAG and Axcon of Denmark set up the European equipment to test compatibility between the two sets of hardware.

Mako Mori from the movie Pacific Rim. I think she did a really good job on this cosplay - she said she chopped off about two-feet of hair for this hairstyle (the blue streaks are hair extensions).

 

I asked her if she had gotten any really cheesy Pacific Rim pick-up lines, such as, "I sense that we are 'Drift-compatible'..." She hadn't received any... as of yet. ;->

 

Tech stuff: added a tinted B&W layer (blue-green) and snagged a screen cap of one of the "Drift" scenes graphics which I pasted over the image and slowly erased a little at a time to have "Mako" the most clear and in-focus (with a bit of blurriness to her edges) object in the image. Comments?

Finnish Army Soldiers taking part in Exercise Arctic Sheild: The aim of the exercise was to develop the performance of the ground in arctic conditions, to test the skills of a trained group and to increase compatibility with Swedish soldiers December 2018

Inlay for brake boss with fine thread for M6 screws. This inlay is needed to install our dynamo bracket "brake boss adapter". As shown on same framebuilder solutions for dynamo installations without brake arm, the inlay may be shortened a bit according compatibility of the M6-threaded main screw.
