Partly inspired by the IAI Harop and DRDO Rustom-1 drones, this is my attempt at combining my love for unmanned (air) vehicles with the intention of doing another turboprop plane with those flipper elements (credits to Cagerrin), designing something with the new wedge elements (heavily spurred on by GolPlaysWithLego's Goblin and Porsche) and doing another technic figure scale build.
Enjoy!

The DRDO Rustom (English: Warrior) is a Medium Altitude Long Endurance unmanned air vehicle (UAV) being developed by Defence Research and Development Organisation for the three services, Indian Army, Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force of the Indian Armed Forces. Rustom is derived from the NAL's LCRA (Light Canard Research Aircraft) developed by a team under the leadership of late Prof Rustom Damania in the 1980s. The UAV will have structural changes and a new engine. Rustom will replace/supplement the Heron UAVs in service with the Indian armed forces.

Well, after recently winning 2nd place in a major photo contest, I was noticed by the "right people" and offered a job as a part time freelance photographer for a local newspaper.
When I was talking with the lady who hired me, she asked if I knew any other photographers that would be willing to do these special assignments as well. I immediately thought of my good friend Richard (KmountMan)
We recently signed a 1 year contract with this major media company :o))
Last night was our first assignment and we did formal portraits of the guests at the Heritage Ball. The 2008 Mississauga Heritage Ball, hosted by the Mississauga Heritage Foundation (Heritage Mississauga), celebrates the unique heritage of our community. From the earliest settler - the First Nations people, to today, our heritage is a colorful tapestry woven through the hard work and dedication of many hands.
As each of the guests entered the event, they were led to Richard & I for semi-formal portraits with studio lighting. I did all the shooting for the portraits, while Richard set them in position for the "pose" and looked after the little details (hair in the eyes, eyeglasses, bags, clothes tags, hand position etc). Richard did an awesome job....his friendliness and professionalism with organizing the people for me made it all run so smooth. I couldn't have done it without him there.
What a fun night it was "rubbin' elbows" with some really great people.
Also, a special thanks to the 2 young lads who came and uploaded all the pictures and printed them on the spot so that each guest could take home a formal portrait. Way to go Rustom and Jackson!!!
Some of the guests included:
Former Lieutenant Governor of Ontario, Honorable Lincoln Alexander
Mississauga Mayor (And Longest Serving Mayor In The World) Hazel McCallion
Chief Bryan La Forme (Not a Fire Chief, An Aboriginal Peoples Chief)
Ron Lenyk - Publisher Of The Mississauga News (& MC for the event)

Rest in peace Mr. Ardeshir Cowasjee.
He fought all his life for the country until his last breath and was the first ever person I photographed for my book. Pakistan will never be the same without him, if not rest of the world.
I will share a story with all of you. Once I was with him in a car and we were at a signal. He pointed towards a garden which his father made a long time ago- called 'Bagh e Rustom'. A poor man was sleeping there peacefully and some random passerby woke him up. Mr. Cowasjee got out of the car and went to the poor man and told him to go back to sleep and said that it is his garden as anyone else's. When I was leaving, he gave me a photo of Jinnah and told me to always remember him (Jinnah) day in and day out. This truly showed what Pakistan was and is meant to be.
Thank you for everything you have done, Mr. Cowasjee.

Calbayog City by name is a place where culture and arts dwell ancient time ago.
The name Calbayog evolved from “Cal” meaning lime and “Bayog”- a tree which is burned to produce cal, Calbayog in the olden times was a kind of lime used to cement the stones of church walls. Later, the natives used Calbayog as the name of the place. The tattoo of the brave Samareños we known as “Pintados” and the peculiar anting-antings in several kinds of “Pulahanes” were legends of our artistic time. Basically, the grassroots of our Calbayog art’s origin were the simplicity of our being resourceful and being hardworking folks. Our arts transform because of the coming of colonizers and foreign merchants to our island “Isla de los Pintados” – the name of Samar Island concocted by the Spaniards after they saw the inhabitant’s tattooed bodies as they were welcomed by the Suluans at Homonhon[1], which brought influence to our traditions and lifestyles. But as time passes by, we learned to adapt to changes from traditional-academic point of view to a contemporary-modern representations of arts, and other challenges where innovations of styles and attitudes towards visual arts emerge.
According to Alice G. Guillermo, a professor of art history at the University of the Philippines, who wrote an essay for the painting Spoliarium of Juan Luna who won the first gold medal in the National Exposition of Fine Arts in Madrid in 1884, she said categorically that
Juan Luna in retrospective moved from the smooth marmoreal finish of the academy to a more dynamic and expressive mode, characterized by freer brushstrokes and more liberal, though still restrained, use of color[2]. This is a fact that Calbayognon artists also in retrospection moved from one style to another along with the trend of historic times.
In the report of Calbayog City Arts and Culture Office (CACO) entitled Calbayog Kahiaraan, Five Decades Harvest in the Arts, 1950-2003 mentioned that it has been five decades now since the first breakthrough of art performances and creations in 1950’s…from the time of Manong Jose Gomez, the well-known Calbayognon artist-musician, to the contemporary artists of the new millennium. Five decades filled with enormous and exceptional harvest in the arts in all genres: music, theater, dance, painting, drawing, mixed media works and multi-media productions. A valid rationale to call Calbayog City as the Talent Bank Capital of Region VIII.[3]
Artist Dodong Gutang, the eldest son of the late Man Tinong Gutang - the artist known in Calbayog Knights of Columbus, unfolds some historical events in the youth of his father as estimated year 1950’s. Man Tinong Gutang initiated to organize the Calbayog Artist Group and worked in unrecorded arts projects in the city. He was also known of being a craftsman who made rubber stamps and banners-like scroll for patron saints and other religious-related artistry.
In early 70’s, three visual artists came about in the Diocese of Calbayog.
1. Alberto Doinog - who used to be hired by the parish priest to restore the damage ceiling of the Cathedral,
2. Pablo Rueda - known for his fine restorations of religious images.
3. Monico Panoy, Sr. - whose work showed religious upbringing, on feast days he is commissioned to install images of Saints on the altar and processions.
In 1982, the Leyte Samar Artist Association (LESARTA) was organized by six
enterprising Artists: Raul Agner, Leo Villafuerte, Dulce Cuña, Nelly Zabala, Val Villanueva and Manding Toleza. It was during the Martial Law Years that Leyte Samar Artist Association was able to conduct three exhibits in three succeeding years. Solo and Group art exhibits were mounted not only in Calbayog City but in other places as well. [4]
It was also in this span of years that one artist was being recognized because of his laughing Christ painting series that made him according to many, put to tragic end. This artist was Edgar Sobrejuanite.
More artists came in like Edwin Tuazon, Danny Celum, Raul Celum and Noel Sagayap.Raul Isidro, one of the Ten Outstanding Young Men (TOYM) awardee helped organized the Calbayog Art Association, Inc., a SEC registered Visual Art organization affiliated with Art Association of the Philippines (AAP) with artist-members; Noel Sagayap, Mercedita Garcia, Florence Cinco, Manuel Sabile, Jr., Jaime Sagayap, Jr., Aristole Ventures, Dante Rosales, Gary Manalo, Gerardo Navilon, Ramon Porcare, Armando Toleza, Danny Celum, Valente Villanueva, Rustom Villamor, Tammy Barandino, Rex Ecal, Jun Salurio, Wilfredo Labana, Jose Malnegro, Nokie Batlangao, Marcelino Paz and Ryan Comilang.[5]
One of the most significant works undertaken by Calbayog Art Association, Inc.,
(CAAI) was the mural painting entitled “Bulawanon nga Handumanan san Calbayog”, acrylic on board, size 16 feet by 24 feet. The masterpiece was crafted in connection with the 50th Charter Anniversary of the City of Calbayog. [6]
CAAI also organized the 1st ever Group Art Exhibit in New York dubbed as “Tugahan Nga Ladawan San Isla San Samar (Enchanted Sceneries of Samar Island Philippines) in cooperation with the Office of the President, Department of Tourism (DOT), National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA), and also with the help of Mana Laudette Avelino of Senator Jose Avelino Foundation.[7]
In 1994, more breed of young artists came in which resulted to the organization of the Balangau Artist Society with the pioneer members; Jaime E. Sagayap, Jr., Manuel Sabile, Jr., Gerardo Navilon, Wilfredo Labana and Aristole Ventures. [8]
In 1999, Calbayog Art Gallery was established with the artist members; Carlos
Barandino, Mercedita Garcia, Florence Cinco, Manuel Sabile, Jr., Jaime Sagayap, Jr., Aristole Ventures, Gary Manalo, Gerardo Navilon, Armando Toleza, Danny Celum, Valente Villanueva, Jun Salurio, Wilfredo Labana and Ruben Mawo. Many painting exhibits was mounted by the Calbayog Art Gallery (CAG) and CACO like; Kalibungan Group Exhibit at Armando’s Gallery, Kinahimat-an Art Exhibit, Pinturahay, Val Villanueva’s One-man-Show, Noel Sagayap One-man-Exhibit, Mural Exhibit at Intercom Hotel, Manila dubbed as “PISTA”, SM Cebu group art exhibit and others.
In the late 90’s and early of 2000’s more artist groups came into the picture of the visual art’s world namely; Munting Kulay Artists Society (Kulay Artist Society), Dagao Visual Arts Group, Kalbayog Photographers Association, La Granja Artists Association, Batodecolor Artists Association, Isla Caruja Artists Association, Samar Haven of Artists (SAHA), Kadis Arts Group, Replica Artist Group, Pinta-Pintura Artist Group, Likhang Kamay Sisiw (LIKAS), Likha Arts Group and Samar Island Artist Association.[9]
This report recognizes much that from 1950 to present times Visual Arts of Calbayog City is ever growing to its peak of development and universal awareness. The proof of this line is witnessed by many Visayan Islands Art Groups like Black Artist of Asia, Kasikasi of Leyte, and other art groups from Bacolod, Negros, Iloilo, Dumaguete, Cebu, Leyte and Samar in the Bi-annual Visayas Island Visual Artists Association Exhibit and Conference (VIVAA EXCON) where many Calbayognon Artists are joining to this vital event which is institutionalized by the National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA).
The writer in his own advocacy would like to create a vision of continuous connectivity of steps to a more vivid and crystal clear study of the visual arts history of Calbayog City and even Samar Island in general. This is in this book that more unfolding of visual art facts are going to be done and exposed as you scan the pages. Moreover, the writer also adhere the vista of the future that is dazzling and vibrant. As a share of thought from H.R. Ocampo, a Filipino painter-writer who wrote the Birth of a New Day as something that was as:[10]
Tall as an odorous cadaver
The petals bloomed
Against the gale of the moon
Against the grinning loon
Darkly came the dawn
Darker still came the stench
Of the quietly blooming morn.

COVID-19 herd immunity is a mirage. Here's how the virus could become 'manageable' instead
Last May, “we had enough vaccination and natural immunity to have basically almost achieved a population level of immunity,” said Dr. Eric Topol. “We were getting down to fewer than 10,000 cases a day. We were looking good.”
Then the delta variant moved the goal posts.
With the original version of the virus that causes COVID-19, America's current vaccination rate of about 65% would have been enough to stop the spread.
"If we were dealing with the original, we have sufficient vaccination such that the large-scale pandemic would be over in this country," said Dr. Joshua Schiffer, a physician and mathematical modeling expert who studies infectious diseases at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle.
Unfortunately, the now-dominant delta strain is more than twice as contagious and requires more people to be immune through vaccination or previous infection for the virus to stop spreading, say experts.
“Now we need 85 to 90% vaccinated against delta,” said Topol, vice president for research at Scripps Research in La Jolla, California, and a national expert on the use of data in medical research.
It’s not an impossible number. In countries like Portugal, Singapore and the United Arab Emirates, upwards of 80% of the total population are now vaccinated, and cases and deaths are falling.
'Cannot believe we are here': 700,000 US COVID-19 deaths is a milestone we never expected to reach
That seems unlikely to happen in the United States, where only 55% of the total population is fully vaccinated, and 12% of Americans say are adamantly opposed to it.
Herd immunity is now effectively out of reach, said Stephen Kissler, an infectious disease fellow at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
“I don’t think it’s realistic,” he said.
What is herd immunity?
The concept of herd immunity is simple: When disease sweeps through a herd of animals, the ones that survive become immune. Eventually, enough have what’s known as natural immunity, and the disease has so few animals left to infect that it dies down or evens out.
The concept got a lot of press early in the pandemic when various politicians and even nations suggested that if young, healthy people got mild cases and recovered, there would be enough immunity that the virus wouldn’t circulate anymore and vulnerable people would be protected.
This was before vaccines were available, and the United Kingdom, Sweden, Brazil and the U.S. under the Trump administration advocated the idea to varying degrees.
On one extreme was a group, which included Florida’s now surgeon general, that in October 2020 published the Great Barrington Declaration. It called for the world to end lockdowns and other transmission prevention measures and embrace herd immunity for COVID-19 to protect the vulnerable while allowing economies to thrive.
New Florida surgeon general Dr. Joseph Ladapo stands apart, agrees with governor on COVID policy
The idea was quickly denounced. With a death rate at the time of 1%, COVID-19 would have had to kill 3.2 million Americans for enough people to be infected to reach herd immunity.
For a time, the arrival of COVID-19 vaccines changed the calculation. If two-thirds of Americans had gotten immunized in the spring, the virus would have had so few new people to infect that it could have been largely stopped.
Then the delta variant hit.
At the same time, new data began to show natural immunity wasn't as protective as vaccination, and the benefits of shots began to fade after about six months.
Vaccine mandates: California becomes first state to announce plans to mandate COVID-19 vaccine for schoolchildren
More than a third of COVID-19 infections result in zero protective antibodies, said Dr. Mark Rupp, an infectious disease expert at the University of Nebraska Medical Center.
“I wish it weren’t true,” Rupp said. Many of his patients are convinced that having recovered from COVID-19 is all the defense they need.
The good news is that for people who’ve recovered from COVID-19, a single dose of vaccine gives excellent immunity, Topol said.
“You cannot replicate that with any vaccine we have," he said. "It’s pretty extraordinary.”
So far, Rupp isn’t having much success convincing his vaccine-resistant patients to get a shot.
“I've been pleading with folks,” he said.
When will the pandemic end?
With 55% of Americans fully vaccinated and at least 30% recovered from COVID-19 at least once, how is it possible the pandemic can still be surging in so many places?
America is a big country, and even a small number is a lot of people. While it’s hard to pinpoint the number of people not exposed to COVID-19 either through infection or vaccination, experts put it likely at about 15% of the U.S. population. That’s almost 50 million people – plenty to still be getting sick, said Harvard’s Kissler.
It’s also becoming clear that COVID-19 is not “one and done,” said Lauren Ancel Meyers, a professor of statistical and data science and director of the COVID-19 Modeling Consortium at the University of Texas at Austin.
Reinfection and breakthrough cases are changing the landscape of susceptibility as immunity wanes.
On October 1, the seven-day daily COVID-19 deaths in the United States were at 1,479, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
“I find it humbling that the leftover percentage, 15%, is still enough to overwhelm our health care system," said Schiffer.
Experts say endemic COVID-19 could make virus 'manageable'
The optimistic expectation, experts say, is that the pandemic will die down, and the virus will become one of the world's many endemic viruses that continue to circulate but cause much less disease and death.
It's predicted to become an infection that still sweeps through the adult population in the winter, sickening some but generally delivering serious illness only to the very old, those with compromised immune systems, and pregnant women who are unvaccinated, said Dr. Gregory Poland, editor-in-chief of the journal Vaccine.
“Once we get to the point where everybody has been exposed or vaccinated and if – and it’s a big if – COVID does what other respiratory illnesses do, it may be a disease that’s manageable,” said Jeffrey Shaman, an epidemiologist at Columbia University.
June 2021: How does COVID-19 end in the US?
February 2021: Health officials say the coronavirus will likely become endemic in the next several years.
Ideally, babies and toddlers would get it multiple times before making it to kindergarten, experts say. For the vast majority, COVID-19 would be mild as it is today for most young children. By the time they begin school, they would have pretty strong immune protection.
The COVID-19 vaccine would become one of the routine immunizations of childhood, probably requiring several doses and possible boosters if new variants appear, experts say.
Much like the flu, COVID-19 in the Northern Hemisphere is expected to be an illness that shows up in the colder months.
If infected, vaccinated adults would generally have mild or even asymptomatic cases. Unvaccinated adults would be at higher risk for severe disease. With age, the immune system becomes less robust, so annual COVID-19 shots would be especially important for those over 65 and the immunocompromised.
COVID-19 also would likely continue to mutate. In some years it would be very mild, in others more severe.
COVID-19 is still evolving
But will this virus follow the typical path of others that we come to live with?
“That’s the trillion-dollar question,” said Columbia’s Shaman.
There are no guarantees with SARS-CoV-2, which can so quickly mutate. The worst-case scenario is that it evolves into something even more dangerous or more contagious than delta.
"All that has to happen is for a new variant with a greater escape from immunity to come along, and we start all over again," Poland said.
Fact check: Yes, viruses can mutate to become more deadly
Public health experts have worried for years about a virus with the infectiousness of SARS-CoV-2 and the death rate of Middle East Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus (MERS-CoV), which is 32% fatal.
Learning to live with COVID-19 means accepting uncertainty and staying ever-vigilant for what might come, said Rustom Antia, a professor of population biology at Emory University.
“Barring a miracle,” added Schiffer, “COVID will be part of our lives for the rest of our lives.”

Watch Ileana Gave Shock to Aankhen 2 Makers - Ileana D'Cruz to file Lawsuit Against 'Aankhen 2' Producers. The actress is considering legal action against producer for claiming she was doing Aankhen 2. Aankhen 2 launched with great fanfare at an event in Mumbai on Wednesday evening. Amitabh Bachchan and Arshad Warsi announced they were part of the film being directed by Anees Bazmee. Producer Gaurang Doshi announced that Rustom actress Ileana D’Cruz, who was absent from the event, was also part of the film. Truth is, while Ileana was offered the film, she turned it down. So the announcement was made without her knowledge or permission. And the actress is not happy about this. Gaurang showed Ileana’s video at the mahurat yesterday and claimed she was doing the film. Bachchan also confirmed it. But the fact is, she is not doing the film and the announcement has made her furious.

The Taj Mahal Palace Hotel is a heritage, five-star, luxury hotel built in the Saracenic Revival style in the Colaba region of Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, situated next to the Gateway of India. Historically it was known as the "Taj Mahal Hotel" or the "Taj Palace Hotel" or simply "the Taj".
Part of the Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces, this hotel is considered the flagship property of the group and has 560 rooms and 44 suites, employing some 1,600 staff. The hotel is made up of two different buildings - the Taj Mahal Palace, and the Tower, which are historically and architecturally distinct from each other. The former was built at the start of the twentieth century, while the latter was opened in 1973. The hotel has a long and distinguished history, having hosted many notable guests, from presidents to captains of industry and stars of show business. Pakistan's founder, Muhammad Ali Jinnah's second wife Ratanbai Petit lived in the hotel during her last days in 1929—her mother, Sylla Tata, was born into the Tata family. During World War I the hotel was converted into a military hospital with 600 beds. But the hotel is most known for being the most visible target during the 2008 Mumbai attacks.
In 2017, the Taj Mahal Palace Hotel acquired an image trademark, the first building in the country to get intellectual property rights protection for its architectural design.
The Taj Mahal Tower, an additional wing of the hotel, was opened in 1973. It was designed by jointly by Daraius Batliwala & Rustom Patell with the latter having a greater focus later on. Also in 1970s Taj Hotels Resorts and Palaces was organized that built new properties and converted palaces into heritage hotels. In 1980, it expanded overseas.
