Because you asked, here's a description of the making of Helium Head.
Though I was giddy and lightheaded with this idea, getting in the air required more than inhaling some helium. My first attempt had me hanging by my hands from a tree branch I could reach by jumping. My camera was mounted to my tripod which was laying on the ground with the camera head angled up. Even with my lens zoomed out to 18mm, I couldn't get my whole body into the frame. I had to get higher, so using a ladder was the answer.
To keep from breaking any limbs (mine, not tree limbs), I set my ladder next to a tree and lashed it to the trunk so that when I was at the top, the ladder wouldn't tip over and put me on my head. After about 4-5 attempts of pushing the shutter button set on a 10 second timer, scrambling up the ladder and turning to sit sideways on the top step (try hanging onto a ladder with just your butt) I was able to get a shot I was happy with. (I suspect I entertained, or perhaps worried my neighbors with all this activity as well) In post production, I used a layer mask and black brush set to about 80% edge hardness to remove the background from around my body.
Next shot was to get a separate photo of my head against a blue sky so I wouldn't have to do any work cutting out around my hair. I moved to a new location, making sure I was still facing into the sun. I added a strobe to the camera to reduce the shadows under my brow, nose, chin, and in my mouth, then held back my collar so that it wouldn't be included in the enlarged head photo. In post-production I used a layer mask to cut-out my head and place it into the body image, then used the warp tool to reduce the size of my neck to fit into my smaller collar opening.
I shot the top branches of a tree to add to the bottom of the photo to help with the illusion that I was rising above the ground. I blurred the tree branches to give them the appearance in the final image of being farther away and not the main focus of the image. Blurring the branches made my feet appear extra sharply focused and helped separate them from the background.
Lastly, I pulled a photo of clouds from my stock "Clouds" folder (I often shoot pictures of just clouds to keep for later use) and composed them into the shot for a little extra detail. Color adjustment, contrast, and spot sharpening was done to the overall image and wallah - 4 hours later I was done!

In September 2017 the transformer of 92016 was found to have been cracked and the locomotive dragged away for storage. When working from the overhead wires the 25 kV AC power must be converted to 1370 volt AC so that it can be used by a class 92 locomotives traction motors. This is done by the transformer which is positioned underneath the locomotive towards the cab 2 end of the common zone but much of it is obscured by the batteries and transformer tank filled with oil used for cooling and insulation.

Using elastic properties of stretchable materials, components are inserted in thread matrices that hold them strongly. Next step would be to find or create a conductive thread matrix version of this stretch garment. It exists in materials research labs [ in sweden (lena berglin) and also in gent (project SWEET) ] but they are not on the market yet :( for instance the beautiful tfcg.elis.ugent.be/projects/stretchable.html
This material opens also the opportunity to think about stapleable electronics that would be inserted between the threads. Smt films could be placed by a specific stapler, and the connections ruggerized with a thermostreching process.
One big advantage of this elastic is also how it facilitates arduino to get out the breadboard ;)
The Avalanche Detection System at Bear Pass, on Hwy 37A, gathers data about moving snow and ice masses on large expanses of avalanche terrain, up to five kilometres away.
When there’s movement, the radar recognizes that as an algorithm matching avalanche activity, captures the information and triggers a real-time alert which is sent to our Bear Pass avalanche team. The message contains critical information such as location, size and frontal speed of the event, that the team can immediately analyze, to determine the response required and any risks set off by the movement.
Traditionally, one aspect of avalanche monitoring is on-site observation, which restricts the team’s ability to collect data on avalanche activity to daylight hours and good weather. The AADS helps our avalanche experts to continuously monitor avalanche activity day or night, in any weather condition, from their mobile device.

Everything you need to create a CircaPDA, except for the punch: Punched cards, discs, and the front and back covers. In this example, I used "Rollabind" discs, which are nearly identical to the same ones Levenger sells. Levenger has far superior customer service to the Rollabind people, though. A few craft stores carry Rollabind discs, but you will likely need to go online to buy them.

Aspirantex 2017
O Poder Naval do Brasil vai ao Mar!
_____________________________________________________________________________
Entre os dias 12 de janeiro a 02 de fevereiro, a Marinha do Brasil realiza a comissão Aspirantex 2017, um exercício naval destinado a aprimorar os conhecimentos e auxiliar nas escolhas profissionais de cerca de 200 aspirantes embarcados, entre homens e mulheres, egressos do 2º ano da Escola Naval.
Atuando na área marítima compreendida entre o Rio de Janeiro (RJ) e Mar Del Plata (Argentina), a comissão Aspirantex 2017 está nesse momento em visita aos portos de Mar Del Plata e Montevidéu (Uruguai).
Na sequência do exercício, serão visitados os portos brasileiros de Itajaí e São Francisco do Sul, ambos localizados no estado (província) de Santa Catarina, bem ao sul do Brasil.
Para a realização da operação, o comandante em chefe da esquadra, Vice-Almirante Celso Luiz Nazareth constituiu o Grupo Tarefa (GT) 701.1, designando o comandante da 1ª Divisão da Esquadra, Contra-Almirante Valter Citavicius Filho para liderar, coordenar e conduzir os exercícios que envolvem o emprego de diversos meios operativos da Força Naval Componente.
As metas do exercício envolvem o aprestamento dos meios da Esquadra e também contribuir para a escolha da opção de corpo e área de habilitação dos aspirantes do 2º ano da Escola Naval, sediada na cidade do Rio de Janeiro.
O GT 701.1 está composto, nessa primeira fase do exercício, pelo Navio Desembarque de Carros de Combate Almirante Sabóia (G-25), onde a reportagem de Tecnologia & Defesa encontra-se embarcada, Navio Doca Multipropósito Bahia (G-40), a Corveta Barroso (V-34), o Navio Tanque Almirante Gastão Motta (G-23) e as fragatas Type-22 Greenhalg (F-46) e Rademaker (F-49).
Na segunda fase, que começará dia 24 de janeiro, também irão se juntar ao GT 701.1, em apoio as operações, o submarino Tupi (S30), o navio-patrulha Benevente (P61) e unidades aéreas do Comando da Força Aeronaval e aeronaves da Força Aérea Brasileira.
Está prevista a participação do navio-patrulha-oceânico Amazonas (P-120), mas no dia 19 de janeiro esse meio foi destacado para auxiliar na recuperação dos destroços de um avião civil que caiu no litoral do Rio de Janeiro (região de Paraty, famoso balneário de luxo).
Entre os passageiros que faleceram na queda do avião está o ministro do Supremo Tribunal Federal, Teori Javascki, relator em uma das maiores investigações sobre corrupção já feitas no Brasil, a Operação Lava-Jato, que envolve diversos políticos, empresários e funcionários públicos da alta administração federal.
Aspirantes e as Operações Navais
Na desatracação do porto, no Rio de Janeiro, o GT 701.1 realizou a navegação em canal varrido (livre de minas) e enfrentou a oposição de submarino (S30) estrategicamente posicionado na saída para o mar aberto, sendo apoiados nessa tarefa por um helicóptero antissubmarino SH-16 Sea Hawk do Esquadrão HS-1 "Guerreiro" e aeronave de patrulha marítima e guerra ASW/ASUW Lockheed P-3AM da Força Aérea Brasileira.
Já em mar aberto, as operações aéreas dos helicópteros navais embarcados no NDM G-40 Bahia e nas fragatas Type-22 serviram para adestrar as tripulações dos navios dotados de convoo, nas fainas de lançamento e recolhimento desses meios.
Em paralelo a essas atividades, foram realizados treinamentos de CAV (controle de avarias), onde danos em combate e incêndios a bordo (simulados) foram combatidos por equipes compostas pelos aspirantes, orientados pelos tripulantes dos navios. Exercícios de Postos de Abandono , circulação interna a bordo e correta localização e operação das balsas salva vidas, dentre outros, demonstraram aos alunos da Escola Naval os perigos das atividades a bordo.
Em todos os dias de mar, durante a primeira fase, foram realizados inúmeros exercícios de Postos de Combate, visando verificar a prontidão operacional e aptidão das equipes de bordo, e tarefas como detecção de ruídos (A/S), Leap Frog/Light Line, manobras táticas e operações aéreas.
O tiro noturno contra granada iluminativa (GIL) e o tiro diurno contra alvo conhecido como "Killer Tomato" foi executado com o uso dos canhões automáticos de 20 mm, 40 mm e metralhadoras pesadas de 12,7 mm existentes a bordo dos navios. O NDCC G-25 Almirante Sabóia demonstrou excelente pontaria nas duas ocasiões, anotando diversos impactos certeiros nos alvos. Os outros navios do GT 701.1 não ficaram atrás, apresentando um desempenho satisfatório de tiro em ambas as ocasiões.
Os navios também se exercitaram no trânsito com oposição de superfície, a maior ameaça representada por mísseis superfície-superfície lançados pelo "inimigo". Do toque para Postos de Combate, passando pelo impacto do míssil (simulado) e o acionamento do CAV, é impressionante o profissionalismo e rapidez com que as equipes executam suas tarefas.
Esses eventos a bordo dos navios contam com a participação direta dos aspirantes, seja no preparo e planejamento, seja na execução como instruendos, ou indiretamente, como observadores, caso do tiro diurno e noturno com munição real.
Comandante de Operações Navais a bordo
O Comandante de Operações Navais da Marinha do Brasil, almirante-de-esquadra Sérgio Roberto Fernandes dos Santos, chegou a bordo do NDCC G25 Almirante Sabóia após transporte desde terra por um helicóptero UH-15/H225M da Aviação Naval (ver entrevista).
Na sequência das atividades, o CON realizou uma visita ao NDM G-40 Bahia, onde conversou com os aspirantes embarcados, mesma atividade realizada anteriormente no NDCC G-25 Almirante Sabóia, quando da sua chegada a bordo.
Light Line/ Transferência de Carga Leve
Uma das mais tradicionais fainas (tarefas) da vida no mar, o Light Line consiste na aproximação e lançamento de uma retinida (cabo leve), e na posterior troca deste por cabos cada vez mais pesados, capazes de suportar a Transferência de Carga Leve (TCL) entre os dois navios, que navegam lado a lado, mantendo velocidade e proa constantes.
Uma típica tarefa feita em equipe, é toda comandada através de toques de comando por apitos e emprego de sinaleiros, tudo isso enquanto os navios permanecem próximos.
A TCL dessa vez envolveu um marco histórico. Na faina realizada entre o NDCC G25 Almirante Sabóia e a fragata F-49 Rademaker, aconteceu a primeira travessia TCL realizada por uma mulher, a aspirante Amanda Passos. Primeiro, foi feito um teste com uma carga inerte equivalente a uma vez e meia o peso da aspirante, e após, a passagem real entre navios.
Na proa do NDCC G-25 e da F-49, tripulantes em linha ou dispostos em um "carrossel" realizaram a tração e movimentação dos cabos, a comando do Senhor Mestre do Navio, normalmente o militar de marinharia mais antigo. Comprovando a perícia das tripulações e a segurança dessa atividade, a aspirante Amanda Passos foi até a F-49 e voltou a bordo do G-25 incólume.
Mergulhadores de Combate!
O exercício denominado SURFEX 983 constou do emprego de um destacamento GRUMEC ao qual foi ordenado abordar um navio "suspeito", no caso o G-25, com o emprego da técnica Fast Rope, a partir de um helicóptero UH-15.
Em uma das portas da aeronave, um GRUMEC armado com fuzil sniper PGM Ultima Ratio, em calibre 7,62 mm, provê a segurança pelo ar do destacamento. Quando o UH-15 chega sobre o convoo, os GRUMEC descem pelo cabo e rapidamente assumem posições na proa do navio, avançando decididamente em direção ao passadiço. Do ar, e circulando sobre o navio, o UH-15 provê a cobertura aérea.
Após rápida subida pelas escadas externas, é dada a ordem para que TODOS no passadiço deitem-se no chão, para verificação (revista) e apreensão de armamento, caso seja encontrado. Na simulação, dois fuzis de assalto são encontrados com os "tripulantes", e o imediato do navio e seus oficiais subalternos são detidos para averiguação posterior, assim como os tripulantes que estavam armados. O material é confiscado e anexado nos autos de abordagem.
Os GRUMEC, tropa de elite da Marinha do Brasil, egressos do Batalhão Tonelero, apresentaram uma novidade nesse treinamento. Além do emprego de fuzis de assalto HK 416 em calibre 5,56 mm, foi possível observar os novos uniformes e equipamentos adotados (ainda em testes), como capacetes táticos, todos camuflados em vários tons de cânhamo e verde, bem diferente do material anteriormente empregado.
Após a finalização da apresentação, aconteceu uma palestra para os aspirantes a bordo, onde dúvidas sobre a carreira nas Forças Especiais da Marinha foram sanadas, e a vida desses militares foi apresentada pelo comandante do destacamento aos aspirantes. Por questões de segurança, nenhum dos GRUMEC pode ser identificado, e seus rostos nas fotos estão distorcidos intencionalmente.
GT 701.1 no Uruguai
Na chegada ao porto de Montevidéu, o NDCC G-25 Almirante Sabóia, líder do grupo de navios, saudou a terra com a tradicional salva de 21 tiros protocolares, prontamente respondida pelos uruguaios. Após a faina de atracação, que envolveu diversos rebocadores e um prático, foi realizada a bordo solenidade de recepção do Embaixador do Brasil no Uruguai, Sr. Fulano de Tal, e dos adidos militares, oficiais coronéis da Força Aérea Brasileira e Exército Brasileiro, além de autoridades uruguaias lideradas pelo Comandante-em-Chefe da Armada daquele País, almirante Fulano de Tal.
No dia 23 de janeiro, o GT.701.1 suspenderá de Montevidéu e Mar Del Plata, reunindo-se em alto mar para empreender a segunda parte da Aspirantex 2017, que envolverá treinamentos e exercícios como Transferência de Óleo no Mar (TOM) e reabastecimento de aeronave em voo (In Flight Refueling ou IFR) e Trânsito com Oposição de Submarinos, dentre outros. O destino final do GT 701.1 será a cidade do Rio de Janeiro/Base Naval da Ilha do Mocanguê.

NATIONAL GUARD AND RESERVES: Air Force Needs to Consistently Assess Personnel Requirements to Appropriately Size Its Headquarters Reserve Components
Ramsey Campbell's botanic Green God (it is actually nameless) and its Children from his short story "The Horror under Warrendown" were the basis for this custom Great Old One for Arkham Horror 2nd Ed..
I wanted to incorporate both threats in a rather simple fashion, without extra game material, so that the Green God can be easily integrated into the basic game and its expansions. Therefore, the standard Cultists were employed as The Green God's mutated, rodent-teethed and rabbit-like Children, and they became part of a kind of race sub-plot that adds threat but also offers players the option to counter it.
When a Child of the Green God appears through regular play, it will dash across the board and potentially open an additional Gate, speeding up the Great Old One's awakening and releasing some more Monsters onto Arkham's streets.
The Children themselves are not very dangerous, but they are fast and hard to confront, so that players better act fast to stop them. However, a confrontation with them is potentially dangerous, too, because Investigators might become infected with the Green God's mutagenic matter, initiating the slow but hard-to-stop transformation into a Child, which will eventually try to open a new Gate! This conforms not 100% with the literature background (only the Green God is "infectious"), but it's a nice players' threat.
With six Cultists in the basic game and a few more in the expansions, this will not happen frequently, though.
However, as a threat balance, the curse-induced transformation also starts with ANY Curse the Investigators might catch!
The final battle relies on a similar pattern, based upon being Cursed and starting to gradually mutate into Children of the Green God.
For those of you who are interested in the 'bits', here are a selection of the key parts.
Not a complete rundown by covers the main mechanicals and load-bearing structures.
Car is 'drivable' with rear engine/transaxle, front tub and front drive assembly module.
Engine is an eight cylinder in 'W' format. That is two Vee-fours with their crankshafts gearedto a cenntral drive shaft.
Front and rear suspension are both by swing axles and sprung by torsion bars. The front suspension module plus straing into the front of the stressed tub and is completely self contained for load paths. The rear suspension feefs the loadparths into the engine assembly.
Not on the engine module the heat exchangers mounted in front of the rear wheels as well as behing the rear suspension module. The real Veyron has 13 heat exchangers in all. The detailing on the top of the engine asembly replicates the intake system and air-air intercoolers for the charge air.
One of the included images has the entire vehicle assembly arrayed.
Please feel free to ask any questions or request further techincal information regarding the model.
All the parts in the kit are labeled with "R1", "C2", etc. This makes for a VERY speedy assembly as I didn't have to stop and identify parts before installing them.
Each of the finished components ready to be assembled. Note the slots the rear of the fork bung which will allow the passage of any water that finds its way into the steerer from the "quill stem fit" above. The finish is nothing more than fine wire wool with the removal of all flaws and polishing unnecessary for this particular project.
Type 306 stainless rods, nuts, hex cap screws, and washers. Aluminum bar stock to secure the battery.
Two beautiful components make this dramatic necklace – the beautiful Swarovski Helios crystal and 3 similar yet different herringbone ropes.
The rich colours of the ropes complement the deep and mysterious colours of the sparkling crystal. Tiny, delicate and sweet little magatama beads are woven into some of the ropes giving them a beautiful tactile feel and texture. Simply suspended from these ropes is a herringbone bail embellished with magatamas. The beauty of the simply yet precisely cut crystal is shown in all its glory.
Dramatic, glamorous, bold and sophisticated.
This collier is definitely for the woman who is not afraid to be seen.
This project is a great way for a novice to learn a new stitch resulting in a very beautiful and substantive piece. Yet complex enough to intrigue and fascinate a seasoned beader.

Fort Benning is a United States Army post which supports more than 120,000 active-duty military, family members, reserve component soldiers, retirees, and civilian employees on a daily basis. It is a power projection platform, and possesses the capability to deploy combat-ready forces by air, rail, and highway. Fort Benning is the home of the United States Army Armor School, United States Army Infantry School, the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, elements of the 75th Ranger Regiment, 3rd Brigade - 3rd Infantry Division, and many other additional tenant units.
Since 1918, Fort Benning, Ga, has served as the Home of the Infantry. Since 1940, Fort Knox, KY, has served as the Home of the Armor. The Maneuver Center of Excellence transformation began as a result of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) Commission's decision to consolidate a number of schools and installations to create "centers of excellence." Included in this transformation was the move of the Armor School to Fort Benning.
