Cooke's Explosive Works, Penrhyndeudraeth.
Picio yno cyn troi at yr A470
The main manufacturing industry in Penrhyndeudraeth was established in 1872 to make guncotton. Cookes Explosives Ltd - part of the Imperial Chemical Industries (I.C.I.) dealing with increased demand for munitions during World War I set up a new explosives manufacturing facility at Penrhyndeudraeth, bringing an economic boom to the town. The plant produced thousands of tons of munitions for the war and explosives for quarrying and mining. The prolonged miners' strike of 1983 and the competition from foreign coal imports resulted in wholesale pit closures which, in turn, reduced the demand for mining explosives to the point where production was no longer economic and the site was finally cleared in 1997.
It was donated to the North Wales Wildlife Trust by ICI in 1998 and is now managed as a nature reserve. This 28 hectare site exhibits a range of habitats including woodland, scrub, heathland, bare rock and open water and supports a wide range of species including Nightjar, Barn Owl, Pied flycatcher, Polecat, seven species of bat, and the impressive Emperor Dragonfly. The reserve offers fabulous views over the Dwyryd Estuary from the bird hide and the many paths throughout the site will offer excellent access.
"Seventeen million grenades and other munitions were made at Cooke's Explosives Ltd during WWII."
"A massive explosion in 1915 (perhaps enemy sabotage) destroyed the facilities, and responsibility for the site was taken over by the Ministry of Munitions before being sold to Cooke's in the 1920s."
"When explosives are being mixed it's essential to keep them cool and the process involved piping in water from a nearby pond with an operator monitoring temperature and flow. This worker was provided with a stool, but for his protection it had just one leg. If he fell asleep, it would not be for long! "

This THEMIS image shows part of the caldera floor of Arsia Mons. It is not uncommon for calderas to have "flat" floors after the final explosive eruption the empties the subsurface magma chamber. There may still be some magma or superheated rock left after the collapse that will fill in part of the depression. Additionally, over time erosion will work to level the topography.
Within Arsia Mons there was renewed activity that occurred within the caldera along the alignment of the NE/SW trend of the three large volcanoes. This ongoing, low volume actitivity is similar to the lava lake in Kilauea in Hawaii. Small flows are visible throughout this image. In the center of the image is a small "L" shaped feature. This is the summit vent for the volcanic flows around it. The flows have lapped up against the caldera wall, filling in faults left by the caldera formation and increasing the elevation of the surface in this region of the caldera.
Arsia Mons is the southernmost of the Tharsis volcanoes. It is 270 miles (450 km) in diameter, almost 12 miles (20 km) high, and the summit caldera is 72 miles (120 km) wide. For comparison, the largest volcano on Earth is Mauna Loa. From its base on the sea floor, Mauna Loa measures only 6.3 miles high and 75 miles in diameter. A large volcanic crater known as a caldera is located at the summit of all of the Tharsis volcanoes. These calderas are produced by massive volcanic explosions and collapse. The Arsia Mons summit caldera is larger than many volcanoes on Earth.
The three large aligned Tharsis volcanoes are Arsia Mons, Pavonis Mons and Ascreaus Mons (from south to north). There are collapse features on all three volcanoes, on the southwestern and northeastern flanks. This alignment may indicate a large fracture/vent system was responsible for the eruptions that formed all three volcanoes. The flows originating from Arsia Mons are thought to be the youngest of the region.

I decided to pay lego a visit again and try to make a new style lego car crash, like my older one i took a couple of years ago (uploaded long after i took it). This one is more explosive and i wanted to try and get more things to look as if they were floating in it, and overall gave it a lot of detail.
My son and I decided to try to photograph a Blackcat firecracker the moment it reduces itself to little more than bright hot gas and fragments of paper.

We got a bottle of sparkling wine from neighboring sonoma valley to celebrate. The cork wouldn't come off (?!) so graham used a cork screw and the bottle exploded between his knees, bits of the top went flying into the air and came crashing down next to Eva. I was wondering if wecould take the bottle back but it seemed like an unbelievable story....
FORT A.P. HILL, Va.- The Explosive Ordnance Disposal Training Center here was renamed Nov. 6 to honor Capt. Jason T. McMahon, an EOD Soldier who was killed in action in Afghanistan on Sept. 5, 2010.
McMahon was the company commander of the 744th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company, 184th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Battalion at the time of his death. He was leading a patrol in Laghman Province, when enemy insurgents attacked it.
During the firefight he exposed himself to withering enemy fire to ensure his Soldiers could use the limited cover available. While directing his Soldiers' fire toward the enemy he was critically wounded and later died from his wounds. His actions ensured his Soldiers' safety and saved their lives.

Closeup of the grooves on a well-worn vinyl pressing of the 1979 Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra recording of Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture on Telarc Records, catalog number DG-10041.
The producers took the original score very seriously, mixing in cannon fire from authentic 19th-century artillery (and, for the finale, church bells) recoded using the best digital technology for the late 1970s, resulting in the most dynamic recording ever committed to vinyl, a serious challenge to even the best of turntables.
The same recording was later released on CD and SACD with a prominent warning on the front cover, given the ease with which these digitally-recorded cannons can destroy speakers, if not eardrums.

These men are demonstrating the three kinds of basic mine in use by the Legions, ranging from a small anti-infantry mine to the massive crater-makers.
The rods on the floor are the infamous Mangalore Torpedoes, used to clear obstacles for advancing soldiers and machinery. Their powerful explosive charges are enough to detonate bombs in a fairly large area, and pulverize the innards of a bunker. More recent uses include anti-tank duties...

3 April 2012. El Fasher: Abdurrahim Ahmed Mohamed (12 years old) is pictured in his house in Al Salam camp for displaced persons with his mother Zakia Idris Abdalla and his little brother Mohammed.
Abdurrahim lost his right hand and the sight on his left eye due to a detonation of an unexploded ordnance (UXO).
It happened in 2008 in Kabkabiya, his original village, when Abdurrahim and his friends found the UXO near his house. They started playing with it until it detonated.
Abdurrahim, who wants to become a doctor, is still struggling to learn how to write with his left hand.
UXOs are explosive weapons (bombs, bullets, shells, grenades, land mines, naval mines, etc.) that did not explode when they were employed and still pose a risk of detonation, potentially many decades after they were used or discarded.
Tomorrow, 4th April, is the International Day of Mine Awareness. In Darfur, as a consequence of the ongoing conflict, UXOs is one of the main problems for the civilians, specially children. Hundreds of them have been mutilated.
