So, after the bow was strung on the Zeibank, in the previous photos, we took it out to test fire...
Spanned it, and, I could NOT pull the trigger. Handed it to David, HE could, but, it was quite hard. Me, I was flummoxxed. I took it all apart, we peered at the lock nut and the trigger nose, and David, in his infinite experience, pointed out a tiny spot of metal wear on the sear of the lock nut. (this indicated the problem to him) We put it back together and he sat on his stool, clicking the lock nut over and over, engaging the trigger in it, and watching the action of the nut. He told me the trigger was pushing too much on the sear of the lock nut. So, I watched. With the nut engaged by the trigger, when the trigger was pulled, the angle of the nose on the trigger caused the nut to roll back a little bit. (Towards the back of the bow) If the bow is spanned, especially a powerful bow like this one, that nut rolling a bit back, means the trigger is pushing (rolling) the the nut against the string (and alllllll the weight of the spanned prod) for just a little until the trigger finally pivots enough to release. Maybe David can explain this more clearly than I! (Feel free to comment..) In anycase, in this photo, you can see where David has slightly gently arced the nose of the trigger, it was straight before. Now, it engages the nut, but rolls off the sear without pushing the nut. So, when we went back and shot the bow again; pow, it pulled easily and quite well. This was a very good lesson for me.
Pima Air and Space Museum
The Boeing 747 began as a concept for a U.S. Air Force contract competition to design a heavy lift cargo aircraft. That contest was eventually won by the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy, but Boeing’s failure to win that contract led it to develop one of the most iconic aircraft ever. The first 747 made its maiden flight in February 1969 and the type made its first commercial flight less than a year later. Since then the humpbacked shape of the 747 has become familiar to millions of travelers around the world. The “Jumbo Jet” is the first twin isle airliner and in some configurations could carry more than 500 passengers. This immense size allowed a much lower operating cost per seat and helped bring long distance air travel into the price range of vastly more people. Boeing has built more than 1,560 since 1969. As of 2018, only about 20 remain to be delivered. The era of the 747 as a passenger plane is coming to an end as it is replaced by more fuel-efficient twin-engine aircraft, but it will continue to be in use as a cargo plane for many years to come.
It was built by Boeing Aircraft Company at Everett, Washington and delivered to Pan American World Airways on March 21, 1970. It is the twenty-fifth 747 built. Following Pan Am’s practice of naming its aircraft, this airplane flew with the name “Clipper Star of the Union” until 1982 when it was renamed “Clipper Ocean Spray.” It remained with Pan Am until the bankruptcy of the airline in 1991. In March 1992 it was purchased by General Electric for use as an engine test bed. Since then the plane has flown more than 3,000 hours carrying various test engines for GE as they develop the engines that power many of the planes that are replacing the 747 in airline service. General Electric donated the aircraft to the Pima Air & Space Museum in November 2018.

Tomb of Tự Đức (Vietnamese: Lăng Tự Đức) is located in Huế, Vietnam. It is built for the Nguyễn Emperor Tự Đức and took three years to build from 1864–1867. It is divided into a Temple Area and a Tomb Area.
Emperor Tu Duc enjoyed the longest reign of any monarch of the Nguyen dynasty, ruling from 1848-83. Although he had over a hundred wives and concubines, he was unable to father a son (possibly he became sterile after contracting smallpox). Thus, it fell to him to write his own epitaph on the deeds of his reign. He felt this was a bad omen, but the epitaph can still be found inscribed on the stele in the pavilion just to the east of the Emperor's tomb. This stele is the largest of its type in Vietnam, and had to be brought here from a quarry over 500 kilometers away--a trip that took four years.
Tu Duc began planning his tomb long before his death in 1883. The major portions of the tomb complex were completed from 1864-67, along with future temple buildings that served as a palatial retreat for Tu Duc and his many wives during his lifetime. Construction of the tomb demanded so much corvee labor and extra taxation that there was an abortive coup against Tu Duc in 1866. This was put down, and for the remainder of his life, Tu Duc continued to use the tomb's palace buildings as his place of residence.
Amenities for the living are unmatched at any other tomb in Vietnam. Here, the Emperor could boat on the lake and hunt small game on the tiny island in the lake's middle. He could recline at Xung Khiem Pavilion and recite or compose poetry in the company of his concubines. After trips on the lake, the boats would moor at Du Khiem Pavilion, from which the Emperor and his entourage could walk directly west into the palace area of the tomb.
After the Emperor's death in 1883 his adopted son Kien Phuc took over as the Nguyen Emperor. Perhaps because he only ruled seven months before dying, a separate tomb was not established for him. Instead, he was laid to rest in a small corner on the grounds of Tu Duc's tomb. Between the tombs of Tu Duc and his son is the tomb of Empress Le Thien Anh, Tu Duc's primary wife.
Interestingly, despite the grandeur of the site and the amount of time Tu Duc spent here, he was actually buried in a different, secret location somewhere in Hue. To keep the secret safe the 200 laborers who buried the king were all beheaded after they returned from the secret route. To this day, the real tomb of Tu Duc remains hidden for future generations to discover.

KAMAN SH-2F SEASPRITE
The Seasprite is a light anti-submarine helicopter designed to be operated from smaller warships such as destroyers and frigates.
The original design dates to 1957 and a Navy requirement for a light utility helicopter. Kaman won the contract and began producing the HU2K-1 in 1962. This aircraft would later be redesignated the SH-2 and named "Seasprite.”
In the late 1960s the Navy began to look for an anti-submarine helicopter that would be small enough to operate from destroyers and frigates. The Seasprite proved to be perfect for the job and the SH-2D version was introduced. The most significant upgrades to the design were the addition of a second engine and external weapon mounting points.
The SH-2D entered service in 1971. By the mid-1980s virtually all the Seasprites built had been upgraded to SH-3F status with further electronic improvements. Seasprites remain in limited Navy service today and in the service of several other nations, including New Zealand, Australia, Egypt, and Poland.

Ribbon Cutting Held to Launch Warriors to Workforce Acquisition Internship for Returning Veterans
On Thursday, January 19, 2012, the Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Academy (VAAA) held a ribbon cutting ceremony to launch a special internship program to prepare newly-returned Veterans to become federal contract specialists. Secretary Shinseki delivered the keynote address at the event which was attended by more than 200 people. Other speakers included Deputy Assistant Secretary for Acquisition and Logistics Jan Frye and VAAA Chancellor Lisa Doyle. General Services Administrator (GSA) Martha Johnson was present along with other dignitaries including former VA Secretary Anthony Principi and other federal, state, and military officials. Twenty-three Veterans are enrolled in the inaugural class of the Warriors to Workforce internship; one of whom is sponsored by GSA. Between them they have seven Purple Hearts, two Bronze Stars, and over 170 years of military experience. The program is part of VA’s commitment to the employment of Veterans, providing not only a job, but a career path for returning Veterans. The VA Acquisition Academy trains and certifies VA’s acquisition workforce through its five schools – Acquisition Internship, Contracting Professional, Program Management, Facilities Management, and Supply Chain Management Schools – developing the next generation of forward-thinking acquisition professionals and business leaders in VA.
