Cosmo is erring toward Mod whilst cruising The North Laines early morning. This is an old stomping ground of mine. Earlier we went in a Mod shop to be served by a girl of about 20 with a perfect girls 'skinhead' cut. I had been explaining this haircut to Cosmo only a few weeks ago.

Top: Linn Turntable of some sort.
2nd Shelf Left: CD Player; analog out ($20,000)
2nd Shelf Center: Network DAC; knows FLAC, MP3, AIFF, etc. The rep says it performs better than their CD player. I didn't ask the cost, but figure somewhere in the $20k range.
3rd Shelf Center: Analog Preamp
Bottom Shelf Left and Center: Power conditioners
The stack on the right consists of four 500 watt amplifiers each responsible for powering a single driver in the top most cluster of the right speaker and the bottom shelf is an electronic crossover. The cluster consists of a super tweeter, tweeter, midrange and mid bass.
Connection went something like this:
CD Player -> Preamp -> Crossover -> Amps -> Speaker
This was the best system of the show. Not by a long shot, but it was the best.

The BAE Systems Rapier Surface-to-Air Missile System was developed for the British Army to replace their outdated Towed Bofors 40/L70 Anti-Aircraft Guns. The system is unusual as it uses a 'Manual Optical Guidance System' sending Guidance Commands to the Missile in flight over a Radio Link, this results in a high level of accuracy, therefore a large Warhead is not required.
Entering service in 1971, it eventually replaced all other Anti-Aircraft Weapons in service with the British Army, both the Bofors Guns used against Low-Altitude Targets and the Thunderbird Missile used against Longer-Range and Higher-Altitude Targets. As the expected Air Threat moved from Medium-Altitude Strategic Missions to Low-Altitude Strikes, the fast reaction time and high maneuverability of the Rapier made it more effective than either of these Weapons, replacing most of them by 1977. Rapier was later selected by the RAF Regiment to replace their Bofors Guns and Tigercat Missiles. It also saw international sales, as of 2021, it was in the process of being replaced as one of the United Kingdom's Primary Air-Defence Weapons by Sky Sabre.
The first Rapier Units were delivered to the British Army in and the RAF Regiment 1971, in 1981 a new Rapier, FSB1 entered service. It had improved electronics and sensors, in 1990 FSB1 (M) was introduced with improvements to the Optical Tracker, Fire Unit and Radar Tracker. Rapier was at first a daylight fair weather Air Defence System, with the addition of the ''Blindfire'' Radar Tracker, Rapier became an all-weather night and day System.
Each Fire System can cover over 38.6 square miles of sky up to a height of 9,843ft, each Missile travels at over twice the speed of sound, and has a High-Explosive Warhead. During the Falklands War of 1982, Rapier Units were deployed to cover the beachhead at San Carlos, also used in the Gulf War of 1991 and the Iraq War of 2003.

These imagaes were taken 7 Sep 11 using Astronomik RGB and IR filters in a manual Orion Filter Wheel and my DMK21AU618. I take an avi of each channel which takes about 45 secs and then I manually switch filters. This shows how I combine a RGB and IR photo to create a IRRGB. My experiences so far with the RGB filters are rather dissapointing because they do not contain any detail. The IR filter shows great detail, so I combine them to produce a final picture with detail and colour

Lattice Boltzmann simulation of a sheared colloidal system.
The lattice Boltzmann simulation includes full hydrodynamic interactions. The system is confined between two walls and then subjected to shear. Depending on density and shear, we observe a transition between ordered layers (essentially shear banding) and a disordered phase. The paper (see link below) shows a phase diagram; observe the fluctuations of inner layers and the exchange of colloids between the layers.
Green: colloids, red LB solvent.
