While riding Space Mountain, I kept hearing a computerized voice saying "Zone 13, rerouting. Zone 12, rerouting. Zone 11, etc..." Then we suddenly came to a stop at some trim breaks.
A few moments passed, the music stopped, then the lights came on. A few moments after that, a group of 5 team members came rushing up the steps and said "Hang on, you're about to do something most people don't get to do!" I assumed we were going to be walked off but they ended up pushing us down the track like it was a bobsled!
We were at nice gentle coast all the way to the loading area, where, they relocked our safety latches, and sent us off again.
I appreciate vintage advertising. I must say I have never seen produce advertised at a pharmacy. Under the bounty of produce in this image is a bright red balance scale. i found this poster in the back corner of Ristramnn Chile Company, Mesilla. New Mexico. Maybe not so vintage— the text says “now computerized”.

And here was my other creative endeavour for the evening: a custom face for Lenora! Last night I was working on a computerized decal for this shot. Unfortunately they didn't print properly. So I decided to see how well I could draw the face instead. This was my second attempt. The first attempt didn't look right. (I also discovered that you shouldn't remove sharpie from Lego using acetone - it ruins the Legos!).

Mursejler, Common Swift (Apus apus), (Apodiformes), (Apodidae)
The bird genus Apus comprise some of the Old World members of the family Apodidae, commonly known as swifts.
They are among the fastest birds in the world. Common Swifts are 16-17 cm long with a wingspan of 38-44cm, weight 35-56 grams, and entirely blackish-brown except for a small white or pale grey patch on their chins which is not visible from a distance. They have a short forked tail and very long swept-back wings that resemble a crescent or a boomerang.
They resemble swallows, to which they are not related, but have shorter tails and sickle-shaped wings. Swifts spend most of their life aloft, have very short legs and use them mostly to cling to surfaces.
------------------
Like flying anchors, these symbols of high summer have greater mastery of the air than any other bird. Swifts drink, bathe, preen, collect food and nesting material all without alighting. The night is spent on the wing and they are the only bird known to mate on the wing.

Mursejleren lever i flokke, og de flyver skrigende over byens tage.
Mursejleren er noget større end en svale. Den flyver højt på himlen og er svær at sætte størrelse på. Kroppen måler 17-18 cm, og mursejleren er altså lidt mindre end en stær. Men vingefanget er helt oppe på 40-44 cm.
Fjerdragten er helt gråsort. På panden har den hvidligt skællede fjer og struben er helt hvid.
Mursejleren er bygget til lufthavet med lange, smalle vinger, torpedoformet krop og kort hale. Den lever af flyvende smådyr i de øverste luftlag – mest insekter, men også små edderkopper, som flyver efter en lang tråd.
Mursejlerne kommer til Danmark midt i maj, og de trækker bort igen i august-september. De overvintrer i det sydlige Afrika.
Der er flest mursejlere i byområderne på Øerne og langs den østlige side af Jylland. I hele det sandede Midt- og Vestjylland er den fåtallig. Bestanden er anslået til 100.000 ynglepar.
Mursejleren er udbredt i hele Skandinavien, bortset fra det nordvestligste Norge. Den er vidt udbredt i hele Europa, Nordafrika, Mellemøsten og Asien.

Out of respect for the legacy of representative democracy in the United States, (a legacy in which my extended family has played a role, both positive {in my opinion} and negative), i attended the polls and, upon computerized equipment i deeply distrust, cast a ballot .
As best i can recollect, my expressed intent in the ballot was to cast votes as follows ; (i was going to write it down but there was a line forming) :
PA Constitutional Amendment Question : No
{
I sympathize with the need of many senior citizens for property tax relief . But anticipated that the burden would be shifted onto rental properties, which could price me out of my apartment, (of many years) .
}
Retain Thomas G. Saylor on the PA Supreme Court ? : No
Retain Debra Todd on the PA Supreme Court ? : Yes
Retain Jacquiline O. Shogan on the PA Superior Court ? : No
Justice of the PA Supreme Court : Dwayne Woodruff
Judges of the/a PA Superior Court : (4)
Maria McLaughlin
Carolyn Nichols
Deborah Anne Kunselman
Geoffrey Moulton Jr.
(it is possible i voted for Jules Mermelstein instead of one of the above, i don't clearly recall)
Judges of the/a PA Commonwealth Court : (2)
Ellen H. Ceisler
Irene M. Clark
Judge of the court of common pleas, 31st PA Judicial district :
I don't recall whether i voted on this ; the candidate was cross-filed, Democrat/Republican, and unopposed .
Judicial Retention Elections : 31st PA Judicial District :
James T. Anthony : Yes ... { Out of respect for an ex-marine . }
Maria L. Dantos : Yes
Robert L. Steinberg : No
Michele A. Varricchio : Yes
Lehigh County Executive :
Phillips Armstrong
Lehigh County Commissioners, District 5, (as i recall) :
I don't recall whether i voted on this ; the candidate was cross-filed, Democrat/Republican, and unopposed .
Magesterial Disctrict Judge, (31-1-04) :
David Howells Jr.
{
He too was cross-filed, Democrat/Republican, and unopposed ; but i recall having had a friendly conversation with him once as he left work .
}
Allentown Referendum question : Mayoral term limits : No
{
If someone wants to dedicate his or her career to a single elective office, and the voters periodically so approve, that's fine by me .
}
Allentown Mayor : RAY O'CONNELL
{
Write-in ballot . It seemed that the machine's write-in virtual keyboard was stuck in Caps-Lock mode .
}
He did not win .
Allentown City Council, (4 year term) : (4) :
Cynthia Mota
Julio A. Guridy
Daryl L. Hendricks
{
Each of the above was running unopposed as a Democrat . There was, as well, a fourth listed, unopposed, Democratic Party candidate ; but i opted not to vote for this person, having recalled "interaction" with him in the past which i would not characterize as "positive" . So instead, i cast my fourth City Council races ballot for myself .
}
MICHAEL CHARLES YOUNG
{
I did not win .
}
Allentown City Council, (2 year term) :
Courtney A. Robinson
Allentown School Directors : (4) :
Sara Jane Brace
Cheryl Johnson Watts
Lisa A. Conover
Phoebe D. Harris
.
There were also two races which did not appear in the Voters Guide, but which i feel may have importance .
Inspector of Election, (for my ward and district) .
{
Here, as i recall, a candidate was running unopposed . I recall i voted for this person . They won .
}
Judge of Election, (for my ward) .
{
Here, as i recall, there was no listed candidate, just an opportunity to write-in . In my mind, at the time, i assigned more influence to this post than it seems to have ; and in this light i found the empty race intriguing. So i offered my services...
}
MICHAEL CHARLES YOUNG
{
... but did not win .
}
Please see also : Wikipedia on Election Judge . I am still somewhat puzzled why i was invited to vote for both an election judge and an election inspector at such a local level, but okay .
.
I list these votes, in a large part, because i believe that by the public's publishing our ballots, (as best we can recall them), we can provide a valuable check on the faithfulness of official United States, (and other), election returns .

The Suzuki SV650 is a 2-cyclinder naked streetbike. Because it's so new (2018, to me). It's a very computerized beast. Fuel injected and controlled by a computer, ABS braking (good!), stiff but solid suspension. This is a nice bike to throw around, because it's so nimble.
Update May 2020: I've now driven a Zero S (12,5Kwh) and it was more comfortable in the seat and it's suspension. Even more nimble than this bike. It's lighter too, which might help.

Sagrada Família or Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Catalan) or Basílica de la Sagrada Familia (Spanish) or Basilica of the Holy Family, is a large still largely unfinished church building in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. Designed by the Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), his work on Sagrada Família is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site. On 7 November 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the church and proclaimed it a minor basilica. On 19 March 1882, construction of the Sagrada Família began under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, when Villar resigned, Gaudí took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms. Gaudí devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is buried in the crypt. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete. Relying solely on private donations, the Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War. In July 1936, revolutionaries set fire to the crypt and broke their way into the workshop, partially destroying Gaudí's original plans, drawings and plaster models, which led to 16 years of work to piece together the fragments of the master model. Construction resumed to intermittent progress in the 1950s. Advancements in technologies such as computer aided design and computerized numerical control (CNC) have since enabled faster progress and construction passed the midpoint in 2010. However, some of the project's greatest challenges remain, including the construction of ten more spires, each symbolizing an important Biblical figure in the New Testament. It was anticipated that the building would be completed by 2026, the centenary of Gaudí's death, but this has now been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The basilica has a long history of splitting opinion among the residents of Barcelona: over the initial possibility it might compete with Barcelona's Cathedral, over Gaudí's design itself, over the possibility that work after Gaudí's death disregarded his design, and the 2007 proposal to build a tunnel nearby as part of Spain's high-speed rail link to France, possibly disturbing its stability. Describing the Sagrada Família, art critic Rainer Zerbst said "it is probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art", and Paul Goldberger describes it as "the most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages". The basilica is not the cathedral church of the Archdiocese of Barcelona, as that title belongs to the Cathedral of the Holy Cross and Saint Eulalia (Barcelona Cathedral). The Basílica de la Sagrada Família was the inspiration of a bookseller, Josep Maria Bocabella, founder of Asociación Espiritual de Devotos de San José (Spiritual Association of Devotees of St. Joseph). After a visit to the Vatican in 1872, Bocabella returned from Italy with the intention of building a church inspired by the basilica at Loreto. The apse crypt of the church, funded by donations, was begun 19 March 1882, on the festival of St. Joseph, to the design of the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar, whose plan was for a Gothic revival church of a standard form. The apse crypt was completed before Villar's resignation on 18 March 1883, when Antoni Gaudí assumed responsibility for its design, which he changed radically. Gaudi began work on the church in 1883 but was not appointed Architect Director until 1884. On the subject of the extremely long construction period, Gaudí is said to have remarked: "My client is not in a hurry." When Gaudí died in 1926, the basilica was between 15 and 25 percent complete. After Gaudí's death, work continued under the direction of his main disciple Domènec Sugrañes i Gras until interrupted by the Spanish Civil War in 1936. Parts of the unfinished basilica and Gaudí's models and workshop were destroyed during the war by Catalan anarchists. The present design is based on reconstructed versions of the plans that were burned in a fire as well as on modern adaptations. Since 1940, the architects Francesc Quintana, Isidre Puig Boada, Lluís Bonet i Gari and Francesc Cardoner have carried on the work. The illumination was designed by Carles Buïgas. The director until 2012 was the son of Lluís Bonet, Jordi Bonet i Armengol. He has been introducing computers into the design and construction process since the 1980s. In 2012, Barcelona-born Jordi Faulí i Oller took over as architect of the project. Mark Burry of New Zealand serves as Executive Architect and Researcher. Sculptures by J. Busquets, Etsuro Sotoo and the controversial Josep Maria Subirachs decorate the fantastical façades. The central nave vaulting was completed in 2000 and the main tasks since then have been the construction of the transept vaults and apse. As of 2006, work concentrated on the crossing and supporting structure for the main steeple of Jesus Christ as well as the southern enclosure of the central nave, which will become the Glory façade. The church shares its site with the Sagrada Família Schools building, a school originally designed by Gaudí in 1909 for the children of the construction workers. Relocated in 2002 from the eastern corner of the site to the southern corner, the building now houses an exhibition. Chief architect Jordi Faulí announced in October 2015 that construction was 70 percent complete and had entered its final phase of raising six immense steeples. The steeples and most of the church's structure are to be completed by 2026, the centennial of Gaudí's death; as of a 2017 estimate, decorative elements should be complete by 2030 or 2032. Visitor entrance fees of €15 to €20 finance the annual construction budget of €25 million. Computer-aided design technology has been used to accelerate construction of the building. Current technology allows stone to be shaped off-site by a CNC milling machine, whereas in the 20th century the stone was carved by hand. In 2008, some renowned Catalan architects advocated halting construction to respect Gaudí's original designs, which, although they were not exhaustive and were partially destroyed, have been partially reconstructed in recent years. In 2018, the stone type needed for the construction was found in a quarry in Brinscall, near Chorley, England. The main nave was covered and an organ installed in mid-2010, allowing the still-unfinished building to be used for liturgies. The church was consecrated by Pope Benedict XVI on 7 November 2010 in front of a congregation of 6,500 people. A further 50,000 people followed the consecration Mass from outside the basilica, where more than 100 bishops and 300 priests were on hand to distribute Holy Communion. Gaudí's original design calls for a total of eighteen spires, representing in ascending order of height the Twelve Apostles, the Virgin Mary, the four Evangelists and, tallest of all, Jesus Christ. Nine spires have been built as of 2021, corresponding to four apostles at the Nativity façade and four apostles at the Passion façade and the Virgin Mary spire. According to the 2005 "Works Report" of the project's official website, drawings signed by Gaudí and recently found in the Municipal Archives, indicate that the spire of the Virgin was in fact intended by Gaudí to be shorter than those of the evangelists. The spire height will follow Gaudí's intention, which according to the report will work with the existing foundation. The Evangelists' spires will be surmounted by sculptures of their traditional symbols: a winged bull (Saint Luke), a winged man (Saint Matthew), an eagle (Saint John), and a winged lion (Saint Mark). The central spire of Jesus Christ is to be surmounted by a giant cross; its total height (172.5 meters (566 ft)) will be less than that of Montjuïc hill in Barcelona, as Gaudí believed that his creation should not surpass God's. The lower spires are surmounted by communion hosts with sheaves of wheat and chalices with bunches of grapes, representing the Eucharist. Plans call for tubular bells to be placed within the spires, driven by the force of the wind, and driving sound down into the interior of the church. Gaudí performed acoustic studies to achieve the appropriate acoustic results inside the temple. However, only one bell is currently in place.
The completion of the spires will make Sagrada Família the tallest church building in the world—11 meters taller than the current record-holder, Ulm Minster, which is 161.5 meters (530 ft) at its highest point. The Church will have three grand façades: the Nativity façade to the East, the Passion façade to the West, and the Glory façade to the South (yet to be completed). The Nativity Façade was built before work was interrupted in 1935 and bears the most direct Gaudí influence. In 2010 an organ was installed in the chancel by the Blancafort Orgueners de Montserrat organ builders. The instrument has 26 stops (1,492 pipes) on two manuals and a pedalboard. To overcome the unique acoustical challenges posed by the church's architecture and vast size, several additional organs will be installed at various points within the building. These instruments will be playable separately (from their own individual consoles) and simultaneously (from a single mobile console), yielding an organ of some 8,000 pipes when completed. Together with six other Gaudí buildings in Barcelona, part of la Sagrada Família is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, as testifying "to Gaudí's exceptional creative contribution to the development of architecture and building technology", "having represented el Modernisme of Catalonia" and "anticipated and influenced many of the forms and techniques that were relevant to the development of modern construction in the 20th century". The inscription only includes the Crypt and the Nativity Façade.

My Singer Superb computerized sewing machine. Prior to getting this 3 years ago I sewed on the Kenmore I bought way back in 1974. This was my 1st modern sewing machine and it brought a new level of joy and creativity into my life long love of sewing. This is a wonderful sewing machine and came with an extension table and lots of presser feet and accessories. The only problem is the light is too dim so I bought the Bendable Bright Light. I did not use the plastic disks that come with the light for attaching it. Instead I use stick on velcro. Works much better. I also made a scrap bag out of vinyl. It runs under the machine and is stuck on with velcro. Under the right front of the machine (right where the scrap bag goes under the machine) are 3 pull out cards of all the stitches the Superb has. Each stitch has a number to access it. It's great--no scrolling to find the stitch you want!

The Ritz Carlton Grand Cayman had its grand opening on January 6, 2006. Tony Bennet and Sheryl Crow provided the entertainment. Prominent at the ribbon cutting, holding scissors and standing side by side, were Mike Ryan the brash young Canadian born developer and Alfred Schwan. Who is Alfred Schwan? Schwan was a director for the Marvin M. Schwan Charitable Foundation and Marvin's brother. In 1992, Marvin M. Schwan created the charitable trust foundation, funded with nearly $1 billion, to benefit organizations associated with the Lutheran Church. At the time of his death, he lived in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and was one of the wealthiest men in America. Forbes magazine rated Marvin M. Schwan the 70th richest American in 1992.
Privately owned Schwan’s, based in Marshal, Minnesota, is a sizable producer, wholesaler, and retailer of food products employing about 16,500 people. It operates an estimated 2,300 computerized vans that deliver frozen food, including meat, vegetables and juices, to customers’ homes. The yellow vehicles, bearing a swan logo, have been described as traveling 7-Elevens. Schwan also expanded into the nation’s leading supplier of frozen pizza to school cafeterias and grocery stores under the Tony’s, Better Baked and Red Baron brands. Marvin Schwan died suddenly in 1993 at the age of 64. Alfred P. Schwan died in 2011 age 86.
Developer of the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman, Michael Ryan, formed a company IRR Limited that was incorporated in the Cayman Islands on April, 21 1998, to develop the project. According to a 2009 US tax return The Marvin M. Schwan Charitable Foundation loaned IRR Limited $210,828,153 with an owing balance of $202,218,186. The tax return says that IRR Limited were not in default as of 2009.
Critics question how Mike Ryan was able to pull off getting The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman built. Ryan claims he was just a young, 31-year-old guy “trying to make something happen”. He got a call from the regional head of development for the Ritz-Carlton. “He… said ‘we want to be in Cayman and we can’t make it work. Would you come and put a project together and we’ll give you the brand and we’ll invest money’. That’s how it started, in 1997,” he says.
Ryan's idea was to create the best Ritz-Carlton in the world. He got Greg Norman to design Blue Tip (nine hole) golf course and La Prairie to establish a spa at The Ritz-Carlton. Ryan also targeted Chef Eric Ripert who created Le Bernardin, the New York City restaurant known as the Temple of Seafood. Ripert's Ritz Carlton restaurant is known as Blue - now entering its 12th year. Getting Ripert on board was a major coup for Ryan.
In 2012 Ryan said the hotel was paying about $100,000 per month to keep North Sound Club Golf Course open. He said the hotel is paying $150 per night per room for electricity. He says the current business model is simply unsustainable.
While the Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman proved to be a successful hotel, the companies created by its developer, Michael Ryan, to construct and later manage the property were placed into receivership in 2012 over an unpaid $250 million loan. The hotel was then sold by the receivers at a public auction in November 2012 to Connecticut based Five Mile Capital Partners for just $177.5 million. It was the largest real estate auction in the history of the Cayman Islands. The $210 million invested by Marvin M. Schwan Charitable Foundation was unsecured and was a total loss following the auction.
Cayman-based Dart Real Estate purchased the 375-room Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman from Five Mile Capital Partners, LLC. in October, 2017. Kenneth Dart’s Dart Real Estate is the most important real estate firm in the Cayman Islands, best known for its flagship Camana Bay mixed-use development and the Kimpton Seafire Resort + Spa and accompanying residences. The long-term management agreement with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company remains in place.

North American RA-5C 'Vigilante' (BuNo 156625) pictured at NAS Key West, Florida, during its assignment to Reconnaissance Attack Squadron (RVAH) 3, May 4, 1979-edited-Not part of my personal collection.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The North American A-5 Vigilante is an American carrier-based supersonic bomber designed and built by North American Aviation for the United States Navy. It set several world records including long distance speed and altitude records. Its service in the nuclear strike role to replace the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior was very short; however, as the RA-5C, it saw extensive service during the Vietnam War in the tactical strike reconnaissance role. Prior to the unification of the Navy designation sequence with the Air Force sequence in 1962, it was designated the A3J Vigilante.
Design and development
In 1953, North American Aviation began a private study for a carrier-based, long-range, all-weather strike bomber, capable of delivering nuclear weapons at supersonic speeds. This proposal, the North American General Purpose Attack Weapon (NAGPAW) concept, was accepted by the United States Navy, with some revisions, in 1955. A contract was awarded on 29 August 1956. Its first flight occurred two years later on 31 August 1958 in Columbus, Ohio.
At the time of its introduction, the Vigilante was one of the largest and by far the most complex aircraft to operate from a United States Navy aircraft carrier. It had a high-mounted swept wing with a boundary-layer control system (blown flaps) to improve low-speed lift. There were no ailerons. Roll control was provided by spoilers in conjunction with differential deflection of the all-moving tail surfaces. The use of aluminum-lithium alloy for wing skins and titanium for critical structures was also unusual. The A-5 had two widely spaced General Electric J79 turbojet engines (the same as used on the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II fighter), fed by intake ramps and a single large all-moving vertical stabilizer. Preliminary design studies had employed twin vertical fin/rudders. The wings, vertical stabilizer and the nose radome folded for carrier stowage. The Vigilante had a crew of two seated in tandem, a pilot and a bombardier-navigator (BN) (reconnaissance/attack navigator (RAN) on later reconnaissance versions) seated on individual North American HS-1A ejection seats.
Despite being designated by the US Navy as a "heavy", the A-5 was surprisingly agile; without the drag of bombs or missiles, even escorting fighters found that the clean airframe and powerful engines made the Vigilante very fast at high and low altitudes. However, its high approach speed and high angle of attack in the landing configuration made returning to the aircraft carrier a challenge for inexperienced or unwary pilots.
The Vigilante had advanced and complex electronics when it first entered service. It had one of the first "fly-by-wire" systems on an operational aircraft (with mechanical/hydraulic backup) and a computerized AN/ASB-12 nav/attack system incorporating a head-up display ("Pilot's Projected Display Indicator" (PPDI), one of the first), multi-mode radar, radar-equipped inertial navigation system (REINS, based on technologies developed for North American's Navaho missile), closed-circuit television camera under the nose, and an early digital computer known as "Versatile Digital Analyzer" (VERDAN) to run it all.
Given its original design as a carrier-based, supersonic, nuclear heavy attack aircraft, the Vigilante's main armament was carried in a novel "linear bomb bay" between the engines in the rear fuselage, which provided for positive separation of the bomb from the aircraft at supersonic speeds. The single nuclear weapon, commonly the Mk 28 bomb, was attached to two disposable fuel tanks in the cylindrical bay in an assembly known as the "stores train". A set of extendable fins was attached to the aft end of the most rearward fuel tank. These fuel tanks were to be emptied during the flight to the target and then jettisoned with the bomb by an explosive drogue gun. The stores train was propelled rearward at about 50 feet per second (30 knots) relative to the aircraft. It thereafter followed a typical ballistic path.
In practice, the system was not reliable and no live weapons were ever carried in the linear bomb bay. In the RA-5C configuration, the bay was used solely for fuel. On three occasions, the shock of the catapult launch caused the fuel cans to eject onto the deck; this resulted in one aircraft loss.
The Vigilante originally had two wing pylons, intended primarily for drop tanks. The second Vigilante variant, the A3J-2 (A-5B), incorporated internal tanks for an additional 460 gallons of fuel (which added a pronounced dorsal "hump") along with two additional wing hardpoints, for a total of four. In practice the hardpoints were rarely used. Other improvements included blown flaps on the leading edge of the wing and sturdier landing gear.
The reconnaissance version of the Vigilante, the RA-5C, had slightly greater wing area and added a long canoe-shaped fairing under the fuselage for a multi-sensor reconnaissance pack. This added an APD-7 side-looking airborne radar (SLAR), AAS-21 infrared line scanner, and camera packs, as well as improved ECM. An AN/ALQ-61 electronic intelligence system could also be carried. The RA-5C retained the AN/ASB-12 bombing system, and could, in theory, carry weapons, although it never did in service. Later-build RA-5Cs had more powerful J79-10 engines with afterburning thrust of 17,900 lbf (80 kN). The reconnaissance Vigilante weighed almost five tons more than the strike version with almost the same thrust and an only modestly enlarged wing. These changes cost it acceleration and climb rate, though it remained fast in level flight.
The Royal Australian Air Force considered the RA-5C Vigilante as a replacement for its English Electric Canberra. The McDonnell F-4C/RF-4C, Dassault Mirage IVA, and the similar BAC TSR-2 was also considered. However, the TFX (later the F-111C Aardvark) was accepted.

Some time ago, I built a Lego MRI system as a giveaway for a pediatric radiologist and had it CT scanned later. So the poor minifig got a double scan ;-)
This is the axial scan shown as cine.
Note that the density of the bricks is different for each color.
In MRI, Lego material would have no signal, of course.

Freedom Golf Association leads the way in bringing adaptive golf to Illinois and is an integral part of the growing national movement, which has been embraced by major golf entities such as the PGA, LPGA and USGA.
“Freedom Golf Association encourages corporations with cause marketing programs that help the disabled to become FGA sponsors or corporate foundation grant providers and help us grow,” said Ruecking.
About Freedom Golf Association
Freedom Golf Association (FGA), a 501(C)3 non-profit charitable organization, is the leading adaptive golf organization in Illinois and is a charter member of the United States Adaptive Golf Alliance. FGA was founded in July 2012 by Edmund (E.Q.) Sylvester. E.Q. is a director of the Western Golf Association (WGA), member of the United States Senior Golf Association (USSGA), member of the United States Golf Association (USGA) and a triple amputee. FGA is dedicated to bringing joy and a sense of freedom to the special needs community through their inclusion in the game of golf.
FGA believes that all special needs individuals deserve a chance to accomplish the same things as any others do and work towards bringing a positive transformation to their lives. FGA contributes to the positive development of those with special needs through the magic of golf.
FGA works to assist individuals with disabilities in many ways:
•Provides professionally run adaptive golf instructional clinics and golf events
•Engages children, adults and veterans with special needs in FREE adaptive golf instruction with other classmates
•Conducts adaptive golf training workshops to increase the number of qualified adaptive golf coaches to instruct individuals with special needs
•Provides leadership and collaboration with nationally recognized organizations on how to expand/grow adaptive golf programs
Based on its growing understanding of the needs of disabled golfers, the FGA has developed a ground-breaking Adaptive Golf Enhancement Program™ that increases the golfing ability of special needs golfers. FGA’s golf coaches learn this six-step process, which helps them better understand and enhance the capabilities of special needs golfers.
To assist coaches and special needs golfers in determining what adaptive measures would be most beneficial, FGA recently invested in what they call a “personal swing sensors and computerized program” to 1) measure the disabled golfer’s initial swing path and limitations; 2) develop an appropriate exercise program to improve flexibility and range of motion; and 3) to chart the golfer’s progress, using the initial swing measurements as a baseline.
In 2016, FGA provided more than 1,300 adaptive golf lessons. In the same year, 110 special needs golfers went out and played on the course. Ten individuals became trained FGA Adaptive Golf Coaches, growing the total number to 42.
79 cents out of every dollar received goes to FGA’s special needs golf programs and events. FGA has led 40 Chicagoland courses in becoming accessible to the disabled community.

Carol's hands are never idle. When she's not making sure her environment is just right, and everything is in it's place... and clean; when she's not fixing and moving and revamping her world; when she's not shopping and adding and subtracting her surroundings; her hands are busy with arts and crafts and making both useful or ornamental things.
Carol's hands paint pictures, make crafts, knit, crochet and sew. Paintings are created, crafts are formed, and articles of clothing are produced. Her environment is filled with machines, materials, and the tools of her trade(s). Even when she rests and sits at the end of the day, her hands continue with some artistic endeavor.
When we first met, I saw Carol's fingers move at the speed of light... typing on keyboards at speeds far beyond what is considered normal. Her hands earned income in typography back then. Since then, I've seen those same hands and fingers produce every imaginable item possible. Those hands have clothed musicians, actors and dancers and have contributed to the arts in every possible way.

Times Square New Years Eve Ball Drop in New York City 2015 - 2016
The Times Square Ball is a time ball located atop the One Times Square building in New York City, primarily utilized as part of New Year's Eve celebrations held in Times Square. Yearly at 11:59 p.m. EST on December 31, the ball is lowered 77 feet (23 m) down a specially designed flagpole, resting on the midnight to signal the start of the new year. The first ball drop in Times Square took place on December 31, 1907, and has been held annually since (except in 1942 and 1943 in observance of wartime blackouts). The ball's design has also been updated over the years to reflect new advances in technologies—its original design utilized 100 incandescent light bulbs, iron, and wood in its construction, while its current incarnation features a computerized LED lighting system and an outer surface consisting of triangle-shaped crystal panels. As of 2009, the ball is also displayed atop One Times Square year-round and is removed only for general maintenance.
The Times Square ball drop is one of the best-known New Year's celebrations internationally, attended by at least one million spectators yearly, with an estimated global audience of at least 1 billion. The prevalence of the Times Square ball drop has also inspired other similar "drops" held locally in other cities and towns around the world.

Pan American World Airways, originally founded as Pan American Airways and commonly known as Pan Am, was the principal and largest international air carrier and unofficial overseas flag carrier of the United States for much of the 20th century. It was the first airline to fly worldwide and pioneered numerous innovations of the modern airline industry, such as jet aircraft, jumbo jets, and computerized reservation systems. Until its dissolution in 1991, Pan Am "epitomized the luxury and glamour of intercontinental travel", and it remains a cultural icon of the 20th century, identified by its blue globe logo ("The Blue Meatball"), the use of the word "Clipper" in its aircraft names and call signs, and the white uniform caps of its pilots.
Founded in 1927 by two former U.S. Air Force majors, Pan Am began as a scheduled airmail and passenger service flying between Key West, Florida, and Havana, Cuba. Under the leadership of American entrepreneur Juan Trippe, in the 1930s the airline purchased a fleet of flying boats and focused its route network on Central and South America, gradually adding transatlantic and transpacific destinations. By the mid-20th century, Pan Am enjoyed a near monopoly on international routes. It led the aircraft industry into the Jet Age by acquiring new jetliners such as the Boeing 707 and Boeing 747. Pan Am's modern fleet allowed it to fly larger numbers of passengers, at a longer range, and with fewer stops than rivals. Its primary hub and flagship terminal was the Worldport at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York City.
During its peak between the late 1950s and early 1970s, Pan Am was world renowned for its advanced fleet, experienced and highly trained staff, and numerous amenities. In 1970 alone, it flew 11 million passengers to 86 countries, with destinations in every continent save Antarctica. In an era dominated by flag carriers that were wholly or majority-owned by governments, it became the unofficial national carrier of the U.S. Pan Am was a founding member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the global airline industry association, and helped shape the industry standard in hospitality and customer service.
Beginning in the mid-1970s, Pan Am began facing a series of challenges both internal and external, along with rising competition from the deregulation of the airline industry in 1978. After several attempts at financial restructuring and rebranding throughout the 1980s, Pan Am gradually sold off its assets before declaring bankruptcy in 1991. By the time it ceased operations, the airline's trademark was the second most recognized worldwide, and its loss was felt among travelers and many Americans as signifying the end of the golden age of air travel. Its brand, iconography, and contributions to the industry remain well known in the 21st century.

Bangladesh Railway (BR) started its journey in this portion of the sub-continent 142 years ago. Historically Bangladesh owned the Railway network, which was a part of the sub-continent. BR has recently introduced train related information using IVR (Interactive Voice Response) system through Mobile Phone and has taken initiative for computerization of pay roll, asset management, accounting, inventory control etc. which are the steps towards the implementation of Digital Bangladesh.
In Bangladesh, due to the huge population in the country, an inadequate number of seats on the local trains, and punishing poverty, some people are forced to borrow a ride now and then. Some are so poor that they cant buy ticket even. They ride on the roof top as well as between the carriages of Train or seat in floor between two carriages, canteen, beside door area every where.

In United States service, the Hawkeye provides all-weather airborne early warning and command and control functions for the carrier battle group. Additional missions include surface surveillance coordination, strike and interceptor control, search and rescue guidance and communications relay. An integral component of the carrier air wing, the E-2C uses computerized sensors to provide early warning, threat analysis and control of counteraction against air and surface targets. It is a high-wing aircraft with stacked antennae elements contained in a 24-foot (7.3 m) rotating dome above the fuselage.
The continuous improvements in early airborne radars by 1956 led to the concept of an airborne early warning and command and control aircraft. The first aircraft to perform this mission was the Grumman E-1 Tracer (a variant of the S-2 Tracker anti-submarine aircraft), which saw service from 1958 to 1977. The E-1's successor, the E-2 Hawkeye, was the first carrier-based aircraft designed from the outset for the all-weather airborne early warning and command and control function. The first production version, the E-2A, entered service in January 1964.
The original E-2C, known as the Group 0, became operational in 1973 and has been through several upgrade programs since then. The first of these was the E-2C Group I which replaced the older APS-125 radar and T56-A-425 engines with the improved APS-139 and T56-A-427. This version was soon followed by the further improved Group II which now featured the APS-145 radar. The Group II has been incrementally upgraded with new navigation systems, displays and computers culminating in the E-2C Hawkeye 2000 variant (sometimes referred to as Group III, although the term is no longer used as an official designation).
.The Hawkeye 2000 features the APS-145 radar with a new mission computer and CIC (Combat Information Center) workstations (Advanced Control Indicator Set or ACIS), and carries the U.S. Navy’s new CEC (cooperative engagement capability) data-link system. It is also fitted with a larger capacity vapor cycle avionics cooling system. A variant of the Group II with the upgrades to the mission computer and CIC workstations is referred to as the MCU/ACIS. All Group II aircraft have had their 1960s vintage computer-processors replaced by a mission computer with the same functionality but built using more modern computer technology. This is referred to as the GrIIM RePr (Group II Mission Computer Replacement Program, pronounced "grim reaper"). In 2007 and 2008 a hardware and software upgrade package is being added to Hawkeye 2000 aircraft that allows faster processing, double current trackfile capacity, and access to satellite information networks. Hawkeye 2000 cockpits are also being upgraded to include solid-state glass displays, upgraded weather detection systems, and GPS-approach capability. Testing for in-flight refueling modifications is also being conducted.

Our local library only moved to a fully computerized system in the last few years. The card files are still in use.
Thank you so much to Bridget (Aviary Images) for pointing out that my polaroid land camera problem was probably the battery. It was (a battery had popped out), and I only wasted 7 exposures on that. Sheesh. I guess that's part of the fun of film -- the challenge.
