ORLANDO, Fla. – The 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Best Warrior Competition began in earnest today as 12 Soldiers from the 143d ESC and the 321st Military Intelligence Battalion demonstrated their physical power and mental might to complete a gauntlet of Soldier skills.
Dawn had yet to illuminate the lakes and trees blanketing Camp Blanding, Fla., when the Soldiers endured an Physical Fitness Test directed by Army Reserve drill sergeants from A Company, 2nd Battalion, 485th Infantry Regiment (Initial Entry Training) out of Jacksonville, Fla. After completing pushups, sit-ups and a two-mile run, the competitors had less than hour to eat, clean, change uniforms, don rucksacks and step into a van bound for Camp Blanding’s live fire ranges.
The 143d ESC cadre and A-2/485 drill sergeants managed the ranges that tested the each competitor’s competency with the M4 Carbine, M9 Pistol and M203 Grenade Launcher—all while wearing a gas mask. The Soldiers were then ferried deep into Camp Blanding’s dense forest. The troops applied their land navigation skills to physically locate three distant points on a map using only a compass and protractor.
As the hot, dry day relinquished control to a cold, moonless night, the competitors returned to the field with weapons in hands and night vision goggles over their eyes. Muzzle flashes pierced the darkness as the competitors attempted to eliminate their artificially illuminated targets.
The exhausted yet enthusiastic dozen returned then to their barracks to clean weapons, write an essay and prepare for another grueling day that begins with a 10-mile road march.

Enrique Castrejon: Artist Statement
I linearly dissect and cut appropriated images found in variety of eclectic media sources such as newspapers, magazines, advertisements and photographs, art books, Sotheby’s auction catalogs, porn, personal photos and online sources into smaller identifiable geometric shapes. I investigate and describe what I see through measurements. I transform this selected graphic imagery into quantified drawings mapped by measuring distances between points (x inches), at times calculating the varied angle degrees created within the shapes (360˚-A˚= B˚), and/or written data related to the image of each shape. The distances around the shapes are measured in inches and their corresponding degree angles are calculated with a protractor and calculator. These precise measurements abstract the image interfering and altering its fixed meaning, creating other possible interpretations through this linear dissection. The final results are written around the shapes creating an intricate explosive web of verifiable units. This repetitive and meditative process allows me to map out the drawing and reveal the invisible mathematical language found in everything. Also, in creating these fragmented and measured drawings from the cut up parts of the whole and reconfigured, I challenge our perceptions of what is real, forcing us to think critically about information that is constantly bombarding our everyday lives through images selected in directed advertisements, pop-culture sources, editorials and news stories found in printed and online media.
Enrique Castrejon lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. Castrejon’s work is also traveling nationally in a group exhibition called Out of Rubble, organized and curated by Susanne Slavick, that looks at how artists have “reacted to the wake of war – its realities and representations.” Castrejon was also a featured artist and panelist on a KPCC 89.3 radio program, Air Talk with Larry Mantel on the topic of Chicano Art & Pacific Standard Time exhibit with participating artists and panelists Gronk, Patissi Valdez and Sonia Romero.

Rct. Braunson Wettlaufer, Platoon 3097, Lima Company, 3rd Recruit Training Battalion, uses a protractor to find his next point during land navigation training Nov. 21, 2013, on Parris Island, S.C. Recruit teams were sent into a wooded area on the island tasked to find specific marked points using their newly learned navigation skills, a map and compass. This practical application exercise ensured the recruits’ were confident in their abilities to navigate foreign terrain using only a map and compass in case electronic navigation should fail them. Wettlaufer, 18, from Orlando, Fla., is scheduled to graduate Dec. 13, 2013. Parris Island has been the site of Marine Corps recruit training since Nov. 1, 1915. Today, approximately 20,000 recruits come to Parris Island annually for the chance to become United States Marines by enduring 13 weeks of rigorous, transformative training. Parris Island is home to entry-level enlisted training for 50 percent of males and 100 percent of females in the Marine Corps. (Photo by Cpl. Caitlin Brink)

Asian Pied Starling/ Pied Myna
The pied myna or Asian pied starling (Gracupica contra) is a species of starling found in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. They are usually found in small groups mainly on the plains and low foothills. They are often seen within cities and villages although they are not as bold as the common myna. They produce a range of calls made up of liquid notes. Several slight plumage variations exist in the populations and about five subspecies are named.
The species has been included in the genus Sturnus and Sturnopastor in the past but recent studies do not support its inclusion within Sturnus leading to the reinstatement of an older genus name Gracupica. It has been claimed that the species name "contra" is derived from an Indian name for it, although this has not been traced subsequently.
Heads of subspecies G. c. contra (top), G. c. superciliaris (middle), and G. c. jalla (bottom); illustration by Joseph Smit, 1890
The nominate subspecies (based on the species description given by Linnaeus in 1758) is found mainly along the Gangetic plains extending south into Andhra Pradesh and east to Bangladesh. The population in northeastern India (Sadiya to Tirap and the Naga Hills) was named as sordida (originally Sturnus contra sordidus) by Sidney Dillon Ripley in 1950. This form differs from the Indian form in having reduced streaking on the shoulders and nape. The populations in Manipur south to Myanmar and east to Yunnan have the white extending over the eye and are included in the subspecies superciliaris first described by Edward Blyth in 1863. The subspecies in Thailand, Laos and Cambodia is included in floweri ( Sharpe, 1897) while jalla described by Horsfield in 1821 is found on Sumatra, Java and Bali.
This myna is strikingly marked in black and white and has a yellowish bill with a reddish bill base. The bare skin around the eye is reddish. The upper body, throat and breast are black while the cheek, lores, wing coverts and rump are contrastingly white. The sexes are similar in plumage but young birds have dark brown in place of black. The subspecies vary slightly in plumage, extent of streaking of the feathers and in measurements.
The flight is slow and butterfly-like on round wings.
Leucistic individuals have been recorded.
The species is found mainly in the plains but in the foothills up to about 700m above sea level. They are found mainly in areas with access to open water. Their main distribution in India is in the Gangetic plains but extending south to the Krishna River. Their range is increasing, with populations establishing more recently in Pakistan, Rajkot, and Bombay (since 1953), possibly aided by trade in caged birds and accidental escape. Their westerward spread in India particularly in parts of Rajasthan has been aided by changes in irrigation and farming patterns, and the spread into Sumatra has been aided by deforestation. The species has also established itself in Dubai, UAE.
The habitat is lowland open areas with scattered trees near water, often near human habitation. This species is often seen at sewage farms and refuse tips.
These starlings are usual found in small groups, foraging mainly on the ground but perching on trees and buildings. Birds in a group call frequently with a wide repertoire that includes whistles, trills, buzzes, clicks, and warbling calls. Young birds taken into captivity have been trained to imitate tunes of other birds.
Both sexes sing. They forage in fields, lawns and on open ground feeding on grains, fruit, insects, earthworms and molluscs usually taken from the ground. Like many other starlings, they often use a prying or gaping action, piercing soil and then opening apart the bill to dislodge hidden food. The strong protractor muscles allow them to part a mat of grass and their eyes are positioned to obtain a binocular view of the space between the parted beak. They often feed in grazing land or among cattle.
The breeding season in India is spread from March to September. With the onset of breeding, the sizes of flocks decline and birds pair up. Courtship involves calling, fluffing of the feathers and head bobbing. The nest is a loose mass of straw formed into a dome with an entrance on the side and placed in a large tree (often banyan, mango, jackfruit, rosewood) or sometimes on man-made structures, often close to human habitation. Several pairs will breed in the same vicinity. The usual clutch is made up of about four to six glossy blue eggs. Each egg is laid with a day in between and incubation begins only after the third or fourth egg is laid. The eggs hatch after 14 to 15 days. The young are brooded for two weeks, the female staying at the nest during the night. Both parents feed the chicks until they fledge and leave after three weeks. More than one brood may be raised in a season.
An instance of interspecific feeding, where an adult of a common myna fed a young pied myna has been reported.
These mynas form communal roosts at night and jointly defend nesting areas.
The ability of these mynas to mimic human voices made them popular as cagebirds. The Sema Nagas will not eat this bird as they believe it is the reincarnation of a human. They are considered to be generally beneficial because they eat many insects.

A transparent cyan protractor is placed upon a white sheet of paper. Blue and green light passes through the cyan protractor. A magenta filter is placed over the left half of the protractor. The magenta filter absorbs the green light and allows the blue light to pass through. Thus, the protractor appears cyan at the right side of the image and blue at the left side of the image.This photo illustrates the principles of color subtraction.

Abandoned Abused Street Dogs.
This is Pumpkin The Rascals new home.
Mr Kind Monk lives here and he's lived
here for a very long time.
The Nuns live about 300 meters from here.
Sometimes Pumpkin wanders by just to say hi.
What you see here is the island, Mamas standing
on the only way onto the island, unless you want
to swim across ...;-0~
OK, now get out your slide-ruler, protractor, calculator,
measuring tape, no# 2 pencil and large piece of paper.
Enlarge the photo, draw a straight line up from Mamas
tail to the dark landing. See the dog head poking out ?
That head belongs to MAD Dog, to the right you can
barely see Pumpkin peeking at you....;-)~~~
And directly behind me is wide open jungle which kinda
sorta belongs to The Hooligans but they never come here.
Mostly it belongs to Mama cuz she says it does when she
wants to use it and of course Mr Rocky backs her up, always.
Thank You.

An image of an Iridium flare over the spires of St Peter's Church, Brighton.
Even over the few seconds needed to capture the transit of the satellite, it is possible to discern the blurring of the stars caused by the rotation of the earth. The little fine wiggles of the flare are probably the result of vibration caused by road traffic close to the camera and tripod.
Because the Iridium Flares are dim compared to an urban environment this image has been presented as part of a pair of images on the photostream. One is un-retouched, the other has the flare emphasised in comparison to the surrounding environment.
Iridium flares are narrow sunlight glints off the door sized, flat, shiny, phased array antennae of passing Iridium Communications Satellites. They tend to be brightest just after dusk, or just before dawn.
The image was captured in an urban environment. Without special tripod astronomical calibration (accurately setting the altitude - how high up to angle the camera, and the azimuth - how far round from north to angle the camera), it is difficult to point a camera accurately at the anticipated location in the sky where the flare will appear . Consequently the temptation is to set a wide angle of view to avoid missing the event, and hence often a smaller image results.
I try to use a protractor to draw a line through a landmark on a Google Map printout to help set up the camera, and also to estimate the altitude angling for the camera. The flares only last a few seconds.
A constellation of 66 satellites - the Iridium network embraces the earth at a fast and low altitude, orbiting pole to pole. They are used to enable satellite mobile phone communications in remote locations such as, for example, Antarctica. The constellation includes its own network "backhaul" - relaying signals from satellite to satellite until contact can be made back to the appropriate earth location.
It is possible to predict when Iridium flares will appear - assuming good visibility. The excellent "Heavens Above" website normally gives good predictions - provided that the location of the observer is accurately supplied. (Sometimes the individual satellites need to re-manoeuvre back into place as a consequence of slight atmospheric drag - which can temporarily throw off projected locations).
The Iridium constellation lays claim to being the the first one to share an accidental "satellite crash" with another satellite. The event on the 10th February 2009 (Iridium 33 colliding with Cosmos 2251 at over 26,000 miles an hour) is spectacularly re-enacted on YouTube.
Taken on March 3, 2009. I decided to take one of those overrated "What's in my purse" pictures. But I thought it came out pretty well. Like I said, ocd!

ORLANDO, Fla. – The 143d Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) Best Warrior Competition began in earnest today as 12 Soldiers from the 143d ESC and the 321st Military Intelligence Battalion demonstrated their physical power and mental might to complete a gauntlet of Soldier skills.
Dawn had yet to illuminate the lakes and trees blanketing Camp Blanding, Fla., when the Soldiers endured an Physical Fitness Test directed by Army Reserve drill sergeants from A Company, 2nd Battalion, 485th Infantry Regiment (Initial Entry Training) out of Jacksonville, Fla. After completing pushups, sit-ups and a two-mile run, the competitors had less than hour to eat, clean, change uniforms, don rucksacks and step into a van bound for Camp Blanding’s live fire ranges.
The 143d ESC cadre and A-2/485 drill sergeants managed the ranges that tested the each competitor’s competency with the M4 Carbine, M9 Pistol and M203 Grenade Launcher—all while wearing a gas mask. The Soldiers were then ferried deep into Camp Blanding’s dense forest. The troops applied their land navigation skills to physically locate three distant points on a map using only a compass and protractor.
As the hot, dry day relinquished control to a cold, moonless night, the competitors returned to the field with weapons in hands and night vision goggles over their eyes. Muzzle flashes pierced the darkness as the competitors attempted to eliminate their artificially illuminated targets.
The exhausted yet enthusiastic dozen returned then to their barracks to clean weapons, write an essay and prepare for another grueling day that begins with a 10-mile road march.
