Hughes AIM-4 "Falcon" Air-to-Air Missile
The AIM-4 Falcon was the world's first operational air-to-air-guided missile. It was developed by Hughes Aircraft Corporation as part of "Project Dragonfly, which began in 1947. The dual goals of the project were to develop a viable fire-control radar system for interceptor aircraft and to create the radar-guided missile to arm those aircraft. The missile was first test fired and put into production in 1954 and became operational in 1955 Over 60 200 Falcon missiles of various versions were built over the years with 48,000 of them being delivered to the US Air Force
The F-4D Phantom II carried the AIM-4 during Vietnam with very little success, only 5 kills total. The F-102 Delta Dagger experimented with it as well but only during night training missions
The Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill Air Force Base became a Weapon System Storage Site for the Falcon missile in 1958 As such, the base was responsible for stocking and distributing all items associated with maintaining the weapons, including ground-support equipment
----------------
History of the F-102A "Delta Dagger"
First manufactured in 1956, the F-102 was the first supersonic, all-weather jet interceptor. This aircraft served as an interim weapon system during the Vietnam War until the F-106A entered the U.S. Air Force's inventory. Delta Daggers were outfitted with an onboard computer and three internal weapon bays that held two Falcon missiles and twenty-four unguided rockets. The F-102 was also the first aircraft designed with "area ruling," which is the Coke bottle-like shape of the fuselage that helped to reduce trans-sonic drag. In 1962, the U.S. Air Force sent F-102As to South Vietnam where they flew air defense against the North Vietnamese.
The F-102A "Delta Dagger" at Hill Air Force Base
In 1956, Hill Air Force Base was designated as the Western Zone Weapons System Storage Site for the F-102 aircraft. The following year, the Ogden Air Materiel Area started performing maintenance and modernization for the F-102 aircraft program. In 1962, maintenance on the last F-102 was completed after nearly 772 F-102s had gone through Hill Air Force Base.
The F-102 on display was manufactured in 1958 and served at several bases. In 1987, after being restored and reassembled, it was put on display at the Hill Aerospace Museum.

This is an early GPS - Global Positioning System. It is an Octant or Hadley Quadrant.
"The Octant or Hadley Quadrant, also known as a reflecting quadrant, had a small mirror or mirrors which allowed the alignment of a reflected image of the sun or a star with the horizon. It was easier to handle than the David Quadrant and was therefore less prone to error. Patented in 1734 by John Hadley (1682 - 1744), an astronomer and mathematician who relied on a concept of Sir Isaac Newton's, the Hadley Quadrant was adopted by most British Navigators. "

Rochester NY Subway System Andre Alves Rochester
Andre Alves Rochester NY Subway System
Andre Alves Rochester NY Subway System (Rochester NY Municipal Archives).
Rochester NY had an amazing subway system that has been abandoned for over 55 years. Complete with tunnels, rails, stations and rail cars. The Rochester subway system or what is left of it once was Rochester’s pride and joy mentions Andre Alves.
"I grew up in a city where we had a large subway system." mentions Andre from Rochester NY.
"The subway always helped me to get places quickly and avoid traffic and high gas prices, I am afraid the same does not happen in Rochester NY." remembers Andre Alves
Rochester is a planned city, in the early 1920s engineers already made plans for the future. It was expected that Rochester NY was going to be a big city and needed an infrastructure in order to keep up with its growth.

Other cities like Chicago, IL were also planned on prediction, however they grew as expected. Somehow Rochester NY failed to grow. Because of that its subway system was terminated and closed for good.
The city of Rochester spent an approximated 12 million dollars in 1921 in order to develop and build Rochester’s modern subway system. The City of Rochester purchased abandoned canal land from the New York State in order to build its subway system reminds Andre from Rochester NY.

"I remember going to the Rochester NY public library way before the internet was invented and researching the historical books there. I used to look at the newspaper clippings from the 1920s, 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. I could never understand why a subway system would be closed." says Andre Alves from Rochester NY.
The Rochester NY subway system ran from Brighton NY (Elmwood Ave) all the way to the North of Rochester NY. Even for today’s standards and the population needs when it comes to public transportation.
It would take a major investment in order to revitalize the subway system in Rochester NY, a lot of the old sites where the outside lines used to run where replaced by expressways leaving some of the subway stations with no place to have train tracks.
According to Andre, the most famous Rochester NY subway station is the building where the Dinosaur BBQ is located in the downtown Rochester NY. The former subway train station is in very good shape and offers an amazing view of the Genesee River in the historical downtown Rochester. The food is awesome, my cousins from South Carolina always want to eat at the Dinosaur BBQ in Rochester NY.
Some of the forgotten subway stations can also serve as shelter for the homeless in Rochester NY. It is reported that a lot of the homeless population from Rochester NY live in some of the underground abandoned subway stations.
Andre Alves really hopes that one day we can revitalize the subway and use it again, with gas prices close to $4 per gallon it would be a great idea to have a public transportation system (subway) that could transport passengers on a quick and inexpensive way.

"Having a strong public transportation system also helps the environment when it comes to pollution. If we all could leave our cars at home and be able to use a reliable public transportation system the pollution against the environment would drop significantly." mentions Andre Alves from Rochester NY.

The Astros II Artillery Saturation Rocket System is a Self-Propelled Multiple Rocket Launcher was produced in Brazil by the Avibrás Company. It features a modular design and employs rockets with calibers ranging from 5in to 17.72in. It was developed on the basis of a Tectran VBT-2028 6x6 All-Terrain Vehicle for enhanced mobility based on Mercedes-Benz 2028 truck chassis. A full Astros System includes 1 wheeled 4x4 Battalion Level Command Vehicle (AV-VCC) which commands 3 Batteries, and a series of 4x4 and 6x6 wheeled vehicles. Each battery consists of:
▪︎1 Wheeled 4x4 Battery-Level Command Vehicle (AV-PCC)
▪︎1 Wheeled 6x6 Radar Fire Control vehicle (AV-UCF)
▪︎6 Wheeled 6x6 Universal Multiple Rocket Launchers Vehicle (AV-LMU)
▪︎6 Wheeled 6x6 Ammunition Resupply Vehicles (AV-RMD)
▪︎1 Wheeled 6x6 Field Repair / Workshop Vehicle (AV-OFVE)
▪︎1 Wheeled 4x4 Mobile Weather Station vehicle (AV-MET).
In the older version of the system, the Fire Control Vehicle were listed as an optional vehicle in a battery. The Command Vehicles and Weather Stations are recent additions, designed to improve overall system performance on newer versions. All vehicles are transportable in a C-130 Hercules. The launcher is capable of firing rockets of different calibers armed with a range of warheads. Each Rocket Resupply Truck carries up to two complete reloads.
The Astros II Artillery System entered service with the Brazilian Army in 1983, it has been battle proven, having been used in action by the Iraqi Army in the Gulf Wars. In the 1980's, Avibrás sold an estimated 66 Astros II Artillery Systems to Iraq. Iraq also built the Sajeel-60 which is a license-built version of the Brazilian SS-60. Sixty Astros II were sold to Saudi Arabia and an unspecified number sold to Bahrain and Qatar. Total sales of the Astros II between 1982 and 1987 reached U.S $1 billion. This fact made the Astros II Multiple Rocket Launcher the most profitable weapon produced by Avibrás. In the 1980's and early 1990's, Avibrás manufactured almost exclusively Rockets and Multiple-Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) such as the Astros II, in addition to developing Anti-Tank and Anti-Ship Missiles. At its peak, Avibrás employed 6,000 people, later on it would be reduced to 900 people in the early 1990's as the arms industry demand fell. Even so, in the first Gulf War in 1991, the Astros II was successfully used by Saudi Arabia against Iraq. Years earlier, the Astros II system had helped Angola to defeat the UNITA.
The next step is an ambitious program, the Astros 2020 Mk.6, based on a 6x6 wheeled chassis, being a new concept, it will require an estimated investment of R $1.2 billion, of which about U.S $210 million will be invested solely in development. It will be integrated with the Cruise Missile AVMT-300 with 300km range during the stage of testing and certification. It is said that the venture will, for example, enable the Army to integrate the Astros with Defence Anti-Aircraft Guns, paving the way for the utilization of common platforms, trucks, parts of electronic sensors and command vehicles. The new Mk.6 system will use Tatra Trucks’ T815-790R39 6x6 and T815-7A0R59 4x4 trucks instead of the original Mercedes-Benz 2028A 6x6 truck. ASTROS 2020 offers several basic improvements including an improved armoured cabin, modern digital communications and navigation systems, and a new tracking radar that replaces the AV-UCF's Contraves Fieldguard System. The new tracking radar used by the Mk.6 AV-UCF was latter revealed to be the Fieldguard 3 Military Measurement System from Rheinmetall Air Defence. The Astros 2020 will also be equipped with a 180mm GPS-guided rocket called the SS-AV-40G with a range of 40km and SS-150 newly developed rockets with a claimed maximum range of 150km, four of them are carried. 36 Astros 2020 systems are to be acquired.

The Kerala backwaters are a chain of brackish lagoons and lakes lying parallel to the Arabian Sea coast (known as the Malabar Coast) of Kerala state in southern India. The network includes five large lakes linked by canals, both manmade and natural, fed by 38 rivers, and extending virtually half the length of Kerala state. The backwaters were formed by the action of waves and shore currents creating low barrier islands across the mouths of the many rivers flowing down from the Western Ghats range.
The Kerala Backwaters are a network of interconnected canals, rivers, lakes and inlets, a labyrinthine system formed by more than 900 km of waterways, and sometimes compared to the American Bayou. In the midst of this landscape there are a number of towns and cities, which serve as the starting and end points of backwater cruises. National Waterway No. 3 from Kollam to Kottapuram, covers a distance of 205 km and runs almost parallel to the coast line of southern Kerala facilitating both cargo movement and backwater tourism.
The backwaters have a unique ecosystem - freshwater from the rivers meets the seawater from the Arabian Sea. In certain areas, such as the Vembanad Kayal, where a barrage has been built near Kumarakom, salt water from the sea is prevented from entering the deep inside, keeping the fresh water intact. Such fresh water is extensively used for irrigation purposes.
Many unique species of aquatic life including crabs, frogs and mudskippers, water birds such as terns, kingfishers, darters and cormorants, and animals such as otters and turtles live in and alongside the backwaters. Palm trees, pandanus shrubs, various leafy plants and bushes grow alongside the backwaters, providing a green hue to the surrounding landscape.
Vembanad Kayal is the largest of the lakes, covering an area of 200 km², and bordered by Alappuzha (Alleppey), Kottayam, and Ernakulam districts. The port of Kochi (Cochin) is located at the lake's outlet to the Arabian Sea. Alleppey, "Venice of the East", has a large network of canals that meander through the town. Vembanad is India’s longest lake.
HOUSE BOATS
The kettuvallams (Kerala houseboats) in the backwaters are one of the prominent tourist attractions in Kerala. More than 2000 kettuvallams ply the backwaters, 120 of them in Alappuzha. Kerala government has classified the tourist houseboats as Platinum, Gold and silver.
The kettuvallams were traditionally used as grain barges, to transport the rice harvested in the fertile fields alongside the backwaters. Thatched roof covers over wooden hulls, 30 m in length, provided protection from the elements. At some point in time the boats were used as living quarters by the royalty. Converted to accommodate tourists, the houseboats have become floating cottages having a sleeping area, with western-style toilets, a dining area and a sit out on the deck. Most tourists spend the night on a house boat. Food is cooked on board by the accompanying staff – mostly having a flavour of Kerala. The houseboats are of various patterns and can be hired as per the size of the family or visiting group. The living-dining room is usually open on at least three sides providing a grand view of the surroundings, including other boats, throughout the day when it is on the move. It is brought to a standstill at times of taking food and at night. After sunset, the boat crew provide burning coils to drive away mosquitoes. Ketuvallams are motorised but generally proceed at a slow speed for smooth travel. All ketuvallams have a generator and most bedrooms are air-conditioned. At times, as per demand of customers, electricity is switched off and lanterns are provided to create a rural setting.
While many ketuvalloms take tourists from a particular point and bring them back to around the same point next morning there are some specific cruises mostly in the Alappuzha area, such as the one night cruise from Alappuzha to Thotapally via Punnamada Lake two nights cruise from Alappuzha to Alumkavadi, one night cruise from Alappuzha to Kidangara, and one night cruise from Alappuzha to Mankotta. There are numerous such cruises.
Beypore, located 10 km south of Kozhikode at the mouth of the Chaliyar River, is a famous fishing harbour, port and boat building centre. Beypore has a 1,500 year-tradition of boatbuilding. The skill of the local shipwrights and boat builders are widely sought after. There is a houseboat-building yard at Alumkadavu, in Ashtamudi Kayal near Kollam.
FERRY SERVICES
Regular ferry services connect most locations on both banks of the backwaters. The Kerala State Water Transport Department operates ferries for passengers as well as tourists. It is the cheapest mode of transport through the backwaters.
ECONOMIC SIGNIFICANCE
Connected by artificial canals, the backwaters form an economical means of transport, and a large local trade is carried on by inland navigation. Fishing, along with fish curing is an important industry.
Kerala backwaters have been used for centuries by the local people for transportation, fishing and agriculture. It has supported the efforts of the local people to earn a livelihood. In more recent times, agricultural efforts have been strengthened with reclamation of some backwater lands for rice growing, particularly in the Kuttanad area. Boat making has been a traditional craft, so has been the coir industry.
Kuttanad is crisscrossed with waterways that run alongside extensive paddy fields, as well as fields of cassava, banana and yam. A unique feature of Kuttanad is that many of these fields are below sea level and are surrounded by earthen embankments. The crops are grown on the low-lying ground and irrigated with fresh water from canal and waterways connected to Vembanad lake. The area is similar to the dikes of the Netherlands where land has been reclaimed from the sea and crops are grown.

This plinther ran lengths of string with polystyrene cups at each end from the plinth to the audience in the square.
Obviously doesn't know much about the science of sound. You need two tin cans tied to a length of string and no obstruction bewteen them. The string was wound around the pole and through the net. Schoolkid error. Then the string became a trip hazard, so a work experience trainee from the One and Other team was delegated to gather it.
Then she played guitar which we couldn't hear.
