The M47 Dragon shoulder-fired, man-portable anti-tank missile system was first fielded with the US Army in Europe in 1975. Dragon uses a wire-guidance system and high explosive anti-tank warhead. It was developed to defeat armored vehicles and hardened targets, as well as tanks- especially the Soviet Union's T-55, T-62, and T-72 main battle tanks. It was used into the 1990's, including the Gulf War of 1991. The effective range of the Dragon was about 1000 meters, with the missile traveling 100 meters per second, guided by an infrared sight. The operator had to continue to track the missile to its target, which exposed him to enemy fire.
There was a delay between trigger depression and launch motor ignition due to a chemical battery charging the initiator circuit, often resulting in the operator tensing up in anticipation of the sudden explosion of the rocket from the launcher. The missile was discharged from the launcher tube by a "launch motor", which was a rocket motor that completely expended itself within the tube so as not to injure the operator with exhaust gas. The missile coasted away from the operator and a burning infrared flare was ignited at the rear of the missile.
After the missile was about 30-50 meters from the gunner, it was propelled forward and guided towards the target by 3 rows of thrusters aligned longitudinally along the missile body. The rocket spiraled as it moved forward, and the thrusters were fired in pairs to move the missile forward as well as keep the missile on target. These were activated by the sight controller which sent signals from the sight mechanism to the missile along the wire which spooled out behind the missile and remained connected to the sight. The operator kept the sight crosshairs on the target, the sight tracked the infrared flare and sent corrections to the missile service motor to bring the flight of the missile to the aim point. The service charges were fired as needed to keep the missile on the proper course for the target. A missile moving towards a stationary target and tracked by a steady gunner would fire the thrusters about every 0.5 to 1 second, resulting in its signature popping' sound as it moved downrange. If the operator over-corrected his aim point beyond the service motor's capability to keep up the missile grounded itself. Conversely, if the guidance wire broke, the missile would fire its rockets rapidly, sending the missile into a rapid ascent. This was a recoilless weapon-the launcher didn’t "kick" per se when fired-but the sudden loss of the 30 pound missile weight from the shoulder caused many soldiers to flinch badly enough to lose track of the target, resulting in a missile grounding.
It was phased out of U.S. military service in 2001, in favor of the newer Javelin system.
Capt. Michael Long, commander Coast Guard Sector Honolulu, and captain of the port, views the Sea Goddess, an 83-foot Honolulu-based longliner, under tow off Honolulu July 4, 2018. The Coast Guard is investigating the cause of the grounding and the case has been referred to the State of Hawaii Department of Health - Hazard Evaluation and Emergency Response Office and the Department of Land and Natural Resources for pollution and environmental assessment in the vicinity of the grounding.

“The means at their disposal are symbolic iconographies, whose ultimate power lies in their firm grounding in popular taste and the innate traditions of the product” (Banham, "Vehicles of Desire," in a Critic Writes, p.6).
“HdM’s fixation on the cosmetic, on fastidious details, eye-catching materials and stunning facades” (Kipnis, “The Cunning of Cosmetics,” El Croquis, p. 22)
"...that the very concept ‘bad taste’ refers specifically to our age, and was not present in the past –at least in its actual form: this, therefore, would be the main aspect of any analysis of a kitsch phenomenology; once having recognized in it a sort of deviation, a sort of degeneration from what –like it or not- we should be able to consider as the ‘norm’ of man’s ethical and aesthetic attitude” (Dorfles, Kitsch: An Antology of Bad Taste, p.291).
“Camp is a certain mode of aestheticism…. That way, the way of Camp, is not in terms of beauty, but in terms of the degree of artifice, of stylization” (Sontag, “Notes on Camp,” in Against Interpretation and Other Essays, p.277).
“… his clients acquired the promise of happiness delivered through the therapeutics of aesthetic pleasure” (Lavin, Form Follows Libido, p. 70).
“… a scenario set within the house” (Garber, Sex and Real State, p. 91).

BRP Gregorio del Pilar (FF-15) is a frigate of the Philippine Navy and the lead ship of her class. She was the second ship of the Philippine Navy to be named after Gregorio del Pilar, a Filipino revolutionary general known for his role at the Battle of Tirad Pass. She was originally designated as "PF-15" from 2011 to mid-2016 when the PN adapted a new code designation, which re-designated her to "FF-15".
From 1967–2011 the ship was a Hamilton-class high endurance cutter of the United States Coast Guard that was named USCGC Hamilton (WHEC-715). The U.S. decommissioned the cutter on March 28, 2011 and the Philippines acquired it under the Excess Defense Articles and the Foreign Assistance Act and is one of three ex-US Coast Guard Hamilton-class cutters to serve the Philippine Navy.
Andrés Bonifacio (FF-17) is a frigate of the Philippine Navy and the third Gregorio del Pilar-class frigate In commission. She is the second ship of the Philippine Navy to be named after Andrés Bonifacio, a Filipino revolutionary leader, regarded as the "Father of the Philippine Revolution" and one of the most influential national heroes of the Philippines.
From 1967–2016 the ship was a Hamilton-class high endurance cutter of the United States Coast Guard that was named USCGC Boutwell (WHEC-719). The U.S. decommissioned the cutter in early 2016 and the Philippines acquired it under the Excess Defense Articles and the Foreign Assistance Act.

Oil contamination can be a problem for brush holders on collector rings, commutator exciters and shaft grounding brushes. The oil compromises the brush to surface connection and creates a sticky environment on the brush box walls which restricts free brush movement

Play~Research~Creation
A Place Of Risk : Seculative~Pragmatism.
Overflowing Forces~in-acts of Sympathy.
Modes of Articulation~Speculative Making.
Clay~Making : The Analogous Atmosphere of Experience.
A Serious Place : Pronouncements of both play and inquiry.

Asking how making is a thinking in its own right, what else that thinking can do?

Into the clay-field of experience.
Play-in-practice enables speculative markings and intuitive feelings to be all playfully built into a making ecology of creative practice.
In working in-play with the plastic clay, creative, playful fictive readings inhabit it very materiality. Marks and gestures contained by it can also just as readily be erased or covered by desire or misadventure.
The clay playing field, demarcated by a pragmatism founded on practical concerns of the maximum internal dimensions of the kiln and the practical ability to lift slab cut clay without tearing onto separate workboards. The clay worked on from both sides is then further acted up by generative templates from previous works, then the working surfaces are fabricated into a spatial form containing three internal but interconnected spaces.
The fired clay forms are merely resultants of a map of intensities are folded into a conduit for relational movements and their expression.
The resultant spatial forms are merely a conduit for the folded spaces formed around a map of intensities.
Work extracted from the firing, brought back into daylight, changed and covered by gestures that have now become concretized into a new and emergent landscape with its own ecology of practice.

With the arrival of my LMR400 N connectors, I was able to replace the existing cable segment between the house and the tower. The polyphaser that was located at the tower will be moved back to the house, so they're all mounted together on a common bar.
In fact, the evolution of microprocessors and networking is the root cause of today’s keen interest in grounding and grounding rod. Grounding is the backbone of effective protection of all networked systems. In addition, the protective devices used to protect machinery and systems in a facility such as UPS systems, power conditioners, voltage regulators, surge suppressors, etc. will be rendered ineffective if connected to improper wiring or defective grounding. Our grounding electrodes use advanced technology to maintain lower resistance in all seasons and require less real estate for installation. These chemical grounding rods provide permanent soil treatment solution create an ever increasing lower resistant ground.
