After the first plutonium bomb was tested at Trinity Site, the next available weapon was the completed Little Boy. Dropped on Hiroshima, Japan on the morning of August 6, 1945, Little Boy was the first nuclear weapon used in warfare.
Fat Man was the second and last nuclear weapon used in warfare. It was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan on August 9, 1945. While Little Boy was a uranium gun-type device, Fat Man was a more complicated and powerful implosion weapon using plutonium, similar to the device tested at Trinity.
A subcritical sphere of plutonium was placed in the center of a hollow sphere of high explosive (HE). Numerous detonators located on the surface of the HE were fired simultaneously to produce a powerful inward pressure on the capsule, squeezing it and increasing its density. This resulted in a supercritical condition and a nuclear explosion.
This is a model of the original Fat Man bomb, on loan from the National Atomic Museum in Albuquerque, NM. It is featured at each open house of Trinity Site on the first Saturdays in April and October

ROOF HEAT PROOFING COMPANY PROFILE:
We would like to introduce ourselves as one of the Pioneer of ROOF HEAT PROOFING in Pakistan. Our company was established in the year 2000.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING Family Business Background.
Our Business Background is that we are importer of chemicals. When Pakistan got independence our grandfather Mr.Abdul Khaliq Gandhak wala (Late) was the first one to open a chemical outlet in Jodia Bazar Karachi. Every chemical related industrialist and Business men know him really well.
What is ROOF HEAT PROOFING Cool Tech?
In chemical field, we started ROOF HEAT PROOFING, a new business which fulfills the need of every house, Factory, Office, Hotel, School, Hospital and any other organization. ROOF HEAT PROOFING is the mixture of different types of chemicals, and Sun block chemicals from Pakistan, Korea, China and Germany.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING Vision and Mission.
After 35 years all over the world such as USA, GULF, Saudi Arabia and Hot region countries Cool Tech brought ROOF HEAT PROOFING facility in Pakistan in 2000. Approx.: 8000sq ft clean Area can be done within a day without any disturbance and noise. You can use your roof conveniently and you can search that type of coating on internet by any search engine like yahoo Google etc. Just mention ROOF HEAT PROOFING. Your Air Conditioner Bill will be deducted around 20 to 30%. Recommended by Engineers and consultant all over the world.
WHY ROOF HEAT PROOFING IS NECESSARY FOR ALL TOP FLOORS.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING saves your money against high Air conditioner Bills.
Cool Tech Saves your money against high Air conditioner Bills. The best reason to use Cool tech (ROOF HEAT PROOFING) is simply put……..You save Money! How much does it cost? Well, considering reduced electric bills, less wear and tear on air conditioner components, extended roof life, increased comfort and the beauty supplied, it’s almost FREE! Cool Tech will help pay for itself before you know it by enabling you to save 20-30% of your electricity cost. Cool Tech (ROOF HEAT PROOFING) is a high built coating made from highly water-resistant polymers and additives that give flexibility and durability.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING Protect your roof against hot sun rays.
Roof Heat Proofing provides SOLAR REFLECTANCE, which means it reflects most of the infrared and visible light striking the surface of the coating. Over 80% of the light striking Cool Tech (ROOF HEAT PROOFING) is reflected back into the atmosphere and away from your roof. Then Roof Heat Proofing repels over 80% of the heat striking it. It bounces this heat back into the atmosphere. This synergistic effect means that Cool Tech reflects the majority of radiant energy away from the structure while the micro-porous structure of the coating dissipated and blocks any radiation that is absorbed and reduces the energy transmitted to the substrate.
ROOF HEAT PROOFING Protect your roof against thermal shocks
Roof Heat Proofing also helps prevent thermal shocks. A hot roof can experience thermal shocks when a passing shower of cold rain hits the hot roof causing a rapid and tremendously violent contraction. These violent contractions can rip seams open, pop fasteners out of the roofs substrate, pull flashing out of the imbedding plies and generally destroys your roof. Keeping your roof cool prevents the radical contraction that leads to “ROOF SHOCK”, premature roof failure and costly replacement costs.

Locomotives in this condition today are hard to come by, especially still bearing the original BR Brunswick green paint job, this paintwork actually dating from a repaint job at BR Crewe Works in 1967, just before the loco was shipped to Canada. I couldn't resist one more visit to Shildon to capture this fine locomotive before its imminent cosmetic restoration into LNER condition. Looking for all like a 1960s BR scene with the Gresley 'A4' awaiting attention on shed, 60010 'Dominion of Canada' is seen in the yard at Shildon on 20th October 2012.

1979 Renault Gordini R1326 ( USA specs), 1647 cc Hemi, engine type 843-13, 109 HP, Bosh- L –Jetronic injection, factory air conditioning and power steering. “Decouverable” sliding fabric electric roof over stainless steel structure.
History:
The chassis and most of the running gear came from the Renault 12, while the 1647 cc 108 PS (79 kW; 95 hp) 843-Type engine in the more powerful R17 TS and R17 Gordini models was derived from the engine in the Renault 16 X. The R17 Gordini was to be the last model to bear the Amedee Gordini name fitted for USA with the 843-13 Hemi engine with 1647 cc. Though the mechanicals of the cars were derived from other Renaults, the body was completely new.

Renault abandoned plans to contest the World Rally Championship which it won in 1973. Instead, the factory developed a high-performance version of the 17 coupé at the Alpine Competition Factory which used many of the A110 bits to compete in "selected" European events. The Gordini-developed engine had two twin-choke Webers, a hot cam, an 11.5 compression ratio, big valves and tuned extractor exhaust system. The body was very light, featured fibreglass doors, boot and bonnet panels, plus plastic windows and a stripped interior. The factory said the car's weight was lowered by more than 25 percent.
Its most famous outing was the "Press on Regardless" WRC in the United States, in Michigan, 1974. The Rally was the USA section of the World Rally Championship. The car that won the rally was a Renault 17 Gordini driven byJean-Luc Thérier and Christian Deiferrer, with a similar car coming third.
This car:
I bought this car in California on April 2012. An extensive restoration took place at my shop located in Miami were my friend Alberto Cordero, a former mechanical engineer from Renault, retired after 42 years working with the company, comes to help me with the restoration of the car. He was the chief mechanic of Juan Manuel Fangio a famous Argentinean race driver who won 5 times the F1 championship and Alberto was at the 84 hs of Nurburgring with the first Renault model derived from the AMC rambler named “Torino 380 W” who gets the third place in that race on 1969.
The car was abandoned in a yard and the last registration proving the car was running was back in 1997.
The car was straight, with only surface rust and off course a not running car.
We start the restoration from the ground up, the car was completely disassembled, body was take it to the bare metal, epoxy primed and painted in its original black color. Gordini stripes and logos were drawn by myself and plotted in 3M vinyl with the original scheme color.
All interior of the cabin, floor, panels, back and engine compartment was fitted with anti-rattle-sound/heat auto adhesive insulation with aluminum foil.
The carpet is a velour German carpet, Burgundy color with leather sewed trims.
I have owned the same model back in Argentina in 1979 so I was completely familiar with the car, and after owning more than 60 high end cars in my life, I always remember the R17 as an outstanding performer, economical yet powerful and beautiful car.
The outstanding design of the “petal” seats, the sliding electric roof that leaves the car completely open, the pillar less design makes this car shine out of the crowd not only now 35 years later, but back in his own era. The feeling you will have driving the car with the roof open will be better than in a convertible car, no wind noise at all.
All parts replaced in the car are original parts coming from France, Argentina, Israel, Puerto Rico, USA.
All suspension, power steering, brakes, hoses,fittings, etc. has been replaced. Engine was with original 45,000 miles, we disassembled the engine, head, valves, gaskets, replaced all necessary parts to meet the original compression specs with 150 PSI on each of the 4 cylinders.
All Bosch –L- Jetronic was overhauled, new sensors, valves, vacuums, switches, electric fuel pump, new injectors, etc. were replaced for original parts, most of them from Germany and others locally as the R17 share most of the injection parts with the BMW 2002 TTI.
The antipollution system was restored at his original state, overhauled air pump, new vacuums, valves, sensors, brand new catalyzer.
New original windshield was fitted to replace the scratched one in the car, new upgraded upholstery in German leather as the original car was fitted with grey cloth. The petal front seat is articulated and adjustable on the sides and behind the knees for firm support as a sport car should be. Is hard to think that 35 years ago this outstanding design on the seats are still bringing one of the most comfortable position that I have had in most top of the line cars.
The car runs perfect, as a brand new car!!!, all electric and electronic components are in 100% working order, the Air conditioning was upgraded with a new Sanden compressor, new condenser, new hoses, blows at 10° Celsius (50 Fahrenheit degrees) as per original specs.
All around upgraded LED lights fitted in back up, brake light, directional lamps. New 4 halogen YELLOW headlights with 45-70w halogen lamps.
Original vintage CIBIE fog lights with covers as the Rally version.
Pioneer stereo with hand free Bluetooth phone and 4 stereo speakers.
The car is fitted with disc brakes at front wheels and drum at the rear wheels with a servo booster and brake limiter valve with weight sensor.
All weather trims were replaced with brand new weather strips.
I have published this car at the Amicale R15 R17 website, you will see the comments on the most important website dedicated at Renault 15 and 17 and you could check the comments of my fellow members about the car on

This nice house at the end of 123rd Avenue West was once the location of an NP section house at Shortline Park, where their Duluth Shortline connected with the DM&IR's Spirit Lake Branch. I'm on the NP grade looking towards Elys Peak. The new double track CN mainline will run between the fence and house, easily explaining why CN bought it. The current grade is directly behind the house in a cut.
The new evaporator in its rebuit housing. This is the first time since 1999 that the gaping hole in the passenger side of the firewall has been filled.
This morning at work, it sounded like an airplane was landing on our roof and then cold air started blowing through the vents. The Air Conditioner Repairman got called and spent a good 15 minutes standing on the top of the ladder, with his head in the ceiling, reading the directions. Not the best picture in the world, but I didn't really figure I had much time to play with lighting.

The shape of the Denys Fisher boutique tray has smoother rounded curves.
I have 3 sets (2 Kenner/1 Denys Fisher), they were all in used condition and incomplete when I acquired them. None had the "eyelashes" and only 1 had the choker and makeup applicator.
Malakoplakia, a condition often associated with immunodeficiency and characterized by abnormal macrophage function consists of sheets of large histiocytes in response to a bacterial infection. It represents a relatively ineffective inflammatory response because of persistence of bacteria and/or bacterial degradation products within the histiocytes. In the lungs it is almost always caused by infection with Rhodococcus equi but it may be caused by other bacteria. Malakoplakia is morphologically very similar to Mycobacterium avium complex infection in AIDS patients and to Whipples disease and lepromatous leprosy. The distinguishing and diagnostic feature of malakoplakia is the presence of small intracellular concentrically calcified structures called Michaelis-Gutman bodies (MG bodies). MG bodies also contain stainable iron. Intracytoplasmic calcifications not having the typical appearance of MG bodies may also be present.
In this image plasma cells are admixed with the large histiocytes.

I just got this vertical air conditioner, a Whirlpool rebadged as a RCA for the Canadian market. A few years before, they were marketed as RCA Victor. Models from about 1972 and later were made by Westinghouse.
These were described on eBay as Kitten Heeled Loafers, in good condition.
They are mules, with no heel upper. My friends say they have more of a heel than what is usually considered a "kitten heel" And the inner lining is disintegrating and leaves hard-to-remove black gook stuck to my feet and toenails when I wear them.
They do fit OK (I can't fins a size, I think they are about a EU38 or so.) My heels hang slightly out the back. I do have to watch out wearing them outside, on rough surfaces the heel tends to shift sideways twisting my ankle.
I have removed the rubber heel pads, my hope is that the plastic heel shanks will continue to wear down to reduce the height of the heels. I am considering sawing off a half inch or more of the plastic to speed up the process. We'll see.
Overall, I do find them kind of fun to wear.
Seen at REI, looked interesting but I already had obtained too many books this day. I subsequently ordered this from the library and I think I will go buy it, it is excellent, well-written and answers a lot of questions I have on nutrition, stretching and training in the winter, when I tend to turn into a giant ground sloth.
A good book, one I should get: Moving toward balance : 8 weeks of yoga with Rodney Yee by Rodney Yee with Nina Zoloto also looked good.

Please mark your calendars for our Spring Bread and Cheese Creek which will be are largest cleanup to date! These photos show the current sad condition of this historic stream. We plan to clean up Bread and Cheese Creek form the Berkshire section to North Point Road on Saturday, April 5, 2014 at 8:00 AM - 2:00 PM, All the assistance from volunteers and sponsor is greatly appreciated! We know this is a huge section of stream to tackle but I know we can do it!
This cleanup will be in conjunction with the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay’s Project Clean Stream and it will be our fifth year working with them! This cleanup will also be in conjunction with American Rivers. We will supply trash bags, gloves, water, snacks and lunch. A limited supply of waders and tools will also be available for sign out during the cleanup.
Remember, there plenty of ways for volunteers to participate. We will need every type of person of every ability level to contribute and assist with the Clean Up. Though it is true we will need people to dig out shopping carts and haul trash to the dumpsters, we can use people to run water, food, tools, and trash bags (both empty and full) to individuals in the creek. People to sort recyclables from the debris removed. People will be needed to work the grills as well as many other less strenuous activities. We are also authorized to sign-off on Community Service and Service Learning Hours for students. The more people we have, the easier the work will be for everyone. Please feel free to pass this information on to other who might be interesting in helping as well. As my grandfather always said, "Many hands makes the work light". We run our cleanups as a family event with all age groups welcome by developing plenty of ways for volunteers to participate.
Our cleanups are part of an ongoing effort clean the entire stream by the 2014 bicentennial celebration of War of 1812 Bicentennial Celebration. (Bread and Cheese Creek has been noted as one of the highlighted location on the Star-Spangled Banner National Historic Trail) The creek played a rather significant part in the Battle of North Point which took place on September 12, 1814. Both the American and British Troops camped along its banks. It is rumored that the young heroes Daniel Wells (19) and Henry McComas (18) used the stream channel to sneak up on British General Robert Ross killing him with their muskets before being killed in return fire. This important part of our history should not be left the eyesore it currently is and those who died defending our country honored in this way.
You can learn more about us through our website at www.BreadandCheeseCreek.org, become our friend on FaceBook, Google+, Instagram, Pinterest or follow us on Twitter and/or join the Clean Break and Cheese Creek Group. You can also see photos of our past cleanups on Flickr and our videos on YouTube. You can also subscribe to out Electronic Newsletter.
