The super shooter is in mint shape and right out of 1976, "New Old Stock".
What great fun the super shooter has been. Solid plastic, nice features. The focusing estimation has me learning how to guesstimate better with practice.
The Cen-A and Cen-B difference arose long before that between Tel-A and Tel-B.
Three genomic segments with orthologs or paralogs in other higher primates were chosen for divergence time estimation. (A) Shows the three regions used for the analysis and the haplotypes from which they were obtained (human (AC006293/AC011501, AL133414, AY320039, and this study) chimpanzee (BX842589, AC155174), gorilla (CU92894), orangutan (EF014479, AC200148) and rhesus macaque (BX842590, BX842591)). They comprise region I, a 5.5 kb segment including the 5′ part of 3DL3 excluding intron 1, a 14 kb segment from the intergenic region between 3DP1 and KIR2DL4 (region II), and a 16.8 segment beginning in intron 3 of 2DL5A/B extending into the neighboring 2DS3/5 gene (region III). For the latter, both the centromeric and telomeric variants were included in the analysis. (B) Shows the phylogenetic trees for regions I, II and III, with bootstrap values for the nodes. The nodes denoted by dark shaded symbols were those used for divergence time estimates. (C) Plotted here are the divergence time estimates using the same symbols as in panel B. For comparison, the dotted horizontal lines indicate the lower limits for divergence times from the human lineage of rhesus macaque, orangutan, gorilla and chimpanzee as assessed from the fossil record [73]. The left panel examines the divergence of human KIR from KIR in other primates, the right panel examines the divergence of different forms of human KIR and the results from two independent runs of the program are shown. Analysis of region I estimates the divergence time for Cen-A and Cen-B, whereas analysis of region II estimates the divergence of Tel-A and Tel-B, and analysis of region III estimates the time of duplication for 2DL5A and 2DL5B as well as 2DS3 and 2DS5.

"Acrocorinth (Greek: Ακροκόρινθος), 'Upper Corinth', the acropolis of ancient Corinth, is a monolithic rock overseeing the ancient city of Corinth, Greece. 'It is the most impressive of the acropoleis of mainland Greece,' in the estimation of George Forrest. Acrocorinth was continuously occupied from archaic times to the early 19th century. Along with Demetrias and Chalcis, the Acrocorinth during the Hellenistic period formed one of the so-called 'Fetters of Greece' – three fortresses garrisoned by the Macedonians to secure their control of the Greek city-states. The city's archaic acropolis, already an easily defensible position due to its geomorphology, was further heavily fortified during the Byzantine Empire as it became the seat of the strategos of the thema of Hellas and later of the Peloponnese. It was defended against the Crusaders for three years by Leo Sgouros.
"Afterwards it became a fortress of the Frankish Principality of Achaea, the Venetians and the Ottoman Turks. With its secure water supply, Acrocorinth's fortress was used as the last line of defence in southern Greece because it commanded the Isthmus of Corinth, repelling foes from entry into the Peloponnese peninsula. Three circuit walls formed the man-made defence of the hill. The highest peak on the site was home to a temple to Aphrodite which was converted to a church, and then became a mosque. The American School's Corinth Excavations began excavations on it in 1929. Currently, Acrocorinth is one of the most important medieval castle sites of Greece.
"In a Corinthian myth related in the 2nd century CE to Pausanias, Briareus, one of the Hecatonchires, was the arbitrator in a dispute between Poseidon and Helios, between the sea and the sun: his verdict was that the Isthmus of Corinth belonged to Poseidon and the acropolis of Corinth (Acrocorinth) to Helios."

Kyoto ou Kyōto Prononciation du titre dans sa version originale Écouter (京都市, Kyōto-shi?, littéralement « ville capitale ») est une ville japonaise de la région du Kansai, au centre de Honshū. Elle fut de 794 à 1868 la capitale impériale du Japon, sous le nom de Heian-kyō ("Capitale de la paix et de la tranquillité"). Elle est aujourd'hui la capitale de la préfecture de Kyoto ainsi que l'une des grandes villes de la zone métropolitaine Keihanshin (Osaka-Kobe-Kyoto). Sa population est de 1,47 million d'habitants (estimations 2015).
Bien que des preuves archéologiques permettent d'affirmer que les premiers hommes, présents sur les îles du Japon, il y a plus de 50 000 ans comme chasseurs-cueilleurs, furent ensuite parmi les premiers potiers du monde dès le XVe millénaire av. J.-C., la région de Kyoto ne fut peuplée qu'à partir du VIIe siècle par le clan Hata venu de Corée. Au cours du VIIIe siècle, voulant s'éloigner de l'influence du clergé bouddhiste au sein du gouvernement impérial, l'Empereur prit la décision de déplacer la capitale depuis l'actuelle Nara vers une région éloignée de cette influence.
La nouvelle ville, Heiankyō (lit. « la capitale de la Paix ») devint le siège de la cour impériale en 794. Plus tard, la ville fut rebaptisée Kyoto (« la ville capitale »). Elle développa deux quartiers spécifiques : le quartier sud où se situait le palais impérial et la cour ; le quartier où le Shogun Yoshimitsu Ashikaga plaça en 1378 sa résidence dans le 'Hana no Gosho' (ou Muromachi-dono, Karasumaru-dono) du quartier de Muromachi. Cela donnera par ailleurs le nom de la Période Muromachi de l'histoire de l'archipel. Le shogun se fit également construire le Pavillon d'Or Kinkaku-ji dans le nord de la ville. Par la suite, la ville fut véritablement dévastée par les armées lors de la guerre d'Onin, abandonnée en grande partie par ses habitants et livrée au pillage de 1467 à 1477. En 1489, le shogun Yoshimasa Ashikaga se fit construire l'une des merveilles architecturales du Japon : le Pavillon d'Argent (Ginkaku-ji) qui voulait rivaliser avec le Pavillon d'Or construit par son grand-père Yoshimitsu Ashikaga.
L'avènement du shogunat Tokugawa en 1600 fit perdre à Kyoto son rôle de centre politique et administratif au profit d'Edo, lieu de résidence des shoguns. Toutefois, Kyoto resta la capitale impériale du Japon jusqu'au transfert de la résidence de l'Empereur à Edo en 1868, lors de la restauration de Meiji. Après qu'Edo fut rebaptisée Tokyo (signifiant « la capitale de l'Est »), Kyoto fut connue peu de temps sous le nom de Saikyō (« la capitale de l'Ouest »).
Epargnée par les bombardements de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Kyoto échappa de peu à la destruction atomique, car la ville figurait en tête des cibles désignées par le comité des objectifs américain. La ville fut finalement rejetée à la suite de l'intervention du secrétaire de la Guerre des États-Unis Henry Lewis Stimson et de conseillers, dont le Français Serge Elisseeff, qui connaissaient la richesse culturelle de la ville, et estimèrent que sa destruction serait un obstacle grave à une réconciliation ultérieure avec le Japon.
Les monuments historiques de l'ancienne Kyoto (villes de Kyoto, Uji et Ōtsu) ont été inscrits au patrimoine mondial de l'Unesco en 1994. En 1997, Kyoto accueillit la conférence qui donna naissance au Protocole de Kyoto.
Kyoto (京都市 Kyōto-shi, pronounced [kʲoːꜜto] (About this sound listen), pronounced [kʲoːtoꜜɕi] (About this sound listen); UK: /kɪˈoʊtoʊ/, US: /kiˈoʊ-/, or /ˈkjoʊ]) is a city located in the central part of the island of Honshu, Japan. It has a population close to 1.5 million. Formerly the Imperial capital of Japan for more than one thousand years, it is now the capital city of Kyoto Prefecture located in the Kansai region, as well as a major part of the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe metropolitan area. Kyoto is also known as the thousand-year capital.

This tree, in my estimation, is over 300 years old. It is very well maintained by the staff of Goddard Park in Warwick, RI.
Sunset -|O|- Moonrise
then things look
so far to reach
yet reaching trade places
in our estimation;
from mourning morning’s thin blue sheet
thrown aside from last night's dreams
through deep rich thoughtful evening
ringed with anxious clouds, bellicose
like angry smoke from cannon blast
holding to the last minute
the battle settled.
when the soul of warmth arcs beyond vision,
no longer strong enough, fades
and shows its other face
rising from the depth of night
ascendant, the mirror tilted from our view
into a crescent, splashes back the light
cold yet delicious in its sight
like the trainman’s pocket watch
snapped open and tilted to the exit lamp
rescues illumination in the darkness
reassures the child in us
that even this small glow
wrapped in the coal black night
signals morning

THE JIAYUGUAN FORTRESS: THE BEGINNING OR THE END OF THE GREAT WALL
Within the Gansu province of Northwestern China lies the Jiayuguan Fortress. It creates either the beginning or the end of the Great Wall (depending on which direction you started from). It was the last outpost before entering the Gobi Desert and the last outpost during the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644).
The fortress was built around the year 1372 and situated in between the legendary town of Kashgar to the west and Dunhuang to the east. It was a famous waypoint along the Silk Road and an obvious stop if you are traveling the historical route.
During the age of the Chinese Kingdom, the fortress protected the Western border with a fearless reputation. It is said that those exiled from the kingdom by the Emperor were ordered to head west into the vast Gobi desert and never return.
The Fortress is surrounded by an inner and outer wall. The inner wall is known as the “inner city” is where you will find some of the fort’s most significant buildings. These include the General’s Office and Wenchang Hall – a two-story pavilion in front of the inner city,
Legends dating back to the creation of the fort state that the master architect of the fort was such an amazing mathematician. He was so amazing in fact that he estimated the exact number of bricks required to be 99,999. Questioning his judgment, the Official had doubts regarding the estimation, so the designer added another brick. When Jiayuguan was finished … one brick remained. Today, this iconic brick is seen on top of the main entrance.
Jiayu Pass
Jiayu Pass or About this soundJiayuguan (help·info) (simplified Chinese: 嘉峪关; traditional Chinese: 嘉峪關; pinyin: Jiāyù Guān) is the first frontier fortress at the west end of the Ming dynasty Great Wall, near the city of Jiayuguan in Gansu province. Along with Juyong Pass and Shanhai Pass, it is one of the main passes of the Great Wall.
The pass is trapezoid-shaped with a perimeter of 733 metres (2,405 ft) and an area of more than 33,500 square metres (361,000 sq ft). The length of the city wall is 733 metres (2,405 ft) and the height is 11 metres (36 ft).
There are two gates: one on the east side of the pass and the other on the west side. On each gate there is a building. An inscription of "Jiayuguan" in Chinese is written on a tablet at the building at the west gate. The south and north sides of the pass are connected to the Great Wall. There is a turret on each corner of the pass. On the north side, inside the two gates, there are wide roads leading to the top of the pass.
Jiayuguan consisted of three defense lines: an inner city, an outer city, and a moat.
When famous traveler Mildred Cable first visited Jiayuguan in 1923, she described it as
To the north of the central arch was a turreted watch-tower, and from it the long line of the wall dipped into a valley, climbed a hill and vanished over its summit. Then a few poplar trees came in sight, and it was evident from the shade of green at the foot of the wall that here was grass and water. Farther on a patch of wild irises spread a carpet of blue by the roadside, just where the cart passed under an ornamental memorial arch and lurched across a rickety bridge over a bubbling stream.
Legend and history
The Great Wall near Jiayuguan
A fabulous legend recounts the meticulous planning involved in the construction of the pass. According to legend, when Jiayuguan was being planned, the official in charge asked the designer to estimate the exact number of bricks required and the designer gave him a number (99,999). The official questioned his judgment, asking him if that would be enough, so the designer added one brick. When Jiayuguan was finished, there was one brick left over, which was placed loose on one of the gates where it remains today.[2]
The structure was built during the early Ming dynasty, sometime around the year 1372. The fortress there was greatly strengthened due to fear of an invasion by Timur, but Timur died of old age while leading an army toward China.
Significance
Mural of a general from a door at the fort
Among the passes on the Great Wall, Jiayuguan is the most intact surviving ancient military building. The pass is also known by the name the "First and Greatest Pass Under Heaven" (天下第一雄关), which is not to be confused with the "First Pass Under Heaven" (天下第一关), a name for Shanhaiguan at the east end of the Great Wall near Qinhuangdao, Hebei.
The pass was a key waypoint of the ancient Silk Road.
Jiayuguan has a somewhat fearsome reputation because Chinese people who were banished were ordered to leave through Jiayuguan for the west, the vast majority never to return. Mildred Cable noted in her memoirs[4] that it was
known to men of a former generation as Kweimenkwan (Gate of the Demons)....The most important door was on the farther side of the fortress, and it might be called Traveller's Gate, though some spoke of it as the Gate of Sighs. It was a deep archway tunnelled in the thickness of the wall.... Every traveller toward the north-west passed through this gate, and it opened out on that great and always mysterious waste called the Desert of Gobi. The long archway was covered with writings...the work of men of scholarship, who had fallen on an hour of deep distress. Who were then the writers of this Anthology of Grief? Some were heavy-hearted exiles, others were disgraced officials, and some were criminals no longer tolerated within China's borders. Torn from all they loved on earth and banished with dishonoured nam to the dreary regions outside.
Amongst those once banished in disgrace was the famous Chinese Opium War Viceroy of Liangguang, Commissioner Lin Zexu, who died in Ürümqi where a statue in his honor can today be found in a local park.
The real stars of Jiayuguan are the thousands of tombs from the Wei and Western Jin Dynasty (265–420) discovered east of the city in recent years. The 700 excavated tombs are famous in China, and replicas or photographs of them can be seen in nearly every major Chinese museum. The bricks deserve their fame; they are both fascinating and charming, depicting such domestic scenes as preparing for a feast, roasting meat, picking mulberries, feeding chickens, and herding horses. Of the 18 tombs that have been excavated, only one is currently open to tourists. Many frescos have also been found around Jiayuguan but most are not open to visitors.
