A technique that can be used to detect improvised explosive devices (IEDs), such as roadside bombs in Iraq.
I use a hand priming tool. Primers are metal cups containing pressure sensitive explosives sandwiched against an anvil. When the trigger is pulled on a gun, a hammer strikes a pin, which pokes the primer, setting off the explosive, which in turn ignites the propellent. As the propellent burns, it releases gasses which push the bullet down the barrel.
I am experimenting again thanks to the one M. She told me how to do this and I am thrilled that I can actually do it.
The Newington Armory was an explosives store for the Australian Navy. Its buildings are surrounded by blast containment banks of various complexity to prevent chain reactions in the event of an untoward incident.
What is your favorite aspect of taking photos? Let me know in the comments!
📜My favorite are the Memories. I have taken more photos than I can even imagine, on this 7 last years, I can tell you the story behind 98% of them! And today I will tell you the story behind this amazing sunset! 🌅
📱My cousin called me to go out and take some photos with him, how could I refuse such a kind offer? 😂 We took hundreds of photos, some good, some ok, you know the drill... We were heading out to go home, I looked at the sky and realized we were about to miss a incredible sunset. 🌇
🚗 Rushed to the highest place we could find, to avoid any obstacles... and the photos talk for themselves, what a incredible sunset! The clouds aligned perfectly, and you can also see the light reflecting on them, and creating this flame looking sky!

Crewmen from MSST Los Angeles and MSST San Diego worked with their canines, who are used to detect explosives and other dangerous material, to get them comfortable with being hoisted to and from a helicopter.

Last year I found this piece of unexploded ordinance - 15cm long. Then was left with the dilemma of What to do? Do I leave it where the farmer's plough can run over it again (and report it to someone) or take it home and deal with it from there. I decided on the latter course.
6 months later I found out that the best contact is the police who contact the Army.
The Army collected it yesterday and said it was probably from a Matilda tank and may or may not have still have explosives inside. Evidently approx 3 of similar objects are reported each week.
If you find one. Take note of its location, mark it with ribbon/etc and contact the Police so someone can collect it from there.
Aurora started with 10 weeks of training on a variety of chemical signatures for explosives (they use different dogs for drugs). When the Obamas came to town, she got to sniff around Air Force One, and she gave her signal near a police car. Sure enough, inside the locked trunk were some roadside flares.
Compared to humans, much of a four legger's brain is devoted to nasal memory (related to their sensory input — a nose close to the ground). A dog can identify whether pairs of humans are identical twins or not by scent alone.
Their memories, thoughts and reveries may be rich and difficult for us to fully understand.
Cue Marcel Proust from À la recherche du temps perdu:
“The past still lives in us... It has made us what we are and is remaking us every moment! It is a vase filled with perfumes, sounds, places and climates! So we hold within us a treasure of impressions, clustered in small knots, each with a flavor of its own, formed from our own experiences, that become certain moments of our past.”
Some tidbits from a DARPA “artificial nose” researcher that I met at the IBM Institute on Cognitive Computing: Compared to humans, the dog has a much larger olfactory epithelium (the sensory receptor sheet) with many-fold more receptors. Also, dogs (and many other mammals) have more types of sensory receptors, and so they encode odorants in a higher-dimensional representation (reminding me of vision in birds). Humans have about 350-400 distinct receptor types, whereas mice have 1000. Many of these receptors are co-activated by the same odorant, so biological olfaction is inherently a high dimensional representation system.
The olfactory system is a much more direct activation path for stored memories, at a much deeper and more multidimensional level, than the other senses, consistent with its primitive evolutionary role in memory and association. The electrical signals from the olfactory tract go to the limbic system, the most ancient part of the brain — the hotbed of our most instinctual and primitive emotions.
The reserve was primarily used for the handling and shipping of explosives from 1901 to 1962. It was later used by the Chemicals Management Branch of the Occupational Health and Safety Authority

Pumice is a felsic to intermediate to alkaline, extrusive igneous rock. It has a frothy texture, meaning it has abundant tiny holes that were originally gas bubbles in lava. Most pumice samples are so low-density - so light-weight for their size - that they float in water. The solid parts of pumice are usually glass-rich.
This pumice sample comes from a summer 2021 explosive eruption of the Fukutoku-Okanoba Volcano in the western Pacific Ocean. Fukutoku-Okanoba is a usually-submerged volcano located in the southern Bonin Islands, south of Japan. During and after eruptions, one or more ephemeral islands are present. Fukutoku-Okanoba is a subduction zone volcano in the Izu-Bonin Volcanic Arc. In this area, the Pacific Plate is subducting westward under the Philippines Plate.
This particular eruption occurred during the morning of 13 August 2021. Large quantities of pumice were generated. The pumice floated in the Pacific Ocean for months and washed ashore at various Japanese islands in fall 2021.

There were a couple of these contraptions in the labs at Ardeer. I think they were a crude way of measuring the force of an explosion.
Your shell or whatever went in the hole at the bottom of the weighted swinging arm and fired back against a stack of sandbags. That swung the arm up and the further it swung the more power you had. Simple
This one was a small one, probably for bullets? i found a plan for it dated in the 1920s!
clouds were moving in, and by the time I reached Vancouver later that evening, it was drizzing lightly.
But here were the gorgeous clouds, ganging up like mecreants somewhere near Cascade Pass.

Reminds me of the American "bombing" of Tokyo with bats fitted with incendiary devices, the idea being that they would seek shelter in the predominantly wooden houses.
Explosive ordnance disposal engineers, with the Afghan National Army's 3rd Commando Kandak, clear a helicopter landing zone of improvised explosive devices in a remote village in Khakrez district, Kandahar province, Afghanistan, March 19, 2011. The Commandos, with support from members of Special Operations Task Force - South, patrolled the village to secure the region of insurgents and improvised explosive device facilitation.

An old warning sign in amongst a pile of dirt for explosives class D 1.1 (which is 'detonating cord' or 'blasting explosives') presumably a way to set off the explosives in the channel.
This is a new version of the photo here.
Alfie Goodrich recently challenged me to reprocess some of my older shots. This is one of them. Thoughts? Do you prefer this or the 1st version?
Ai gente, eu tinha escrito uma descrição tão legal, aí a internet caiu e eu sofri calada :x
Vamos ver se eu lembro de tudo IUHASDIHUAISDUHAISH viram que a foto está decente, não tá ótimo, mas tá aceitável né IUHASIDUHAISUHD
Eu usei:
x1 Base Seda - Impala
x2 Breu - Panvel
X1 Explosive - Kolt
x1 Roxinho - Vefic
Fiquei apaixonada por ele, usei em uma ocasião especial, a festa de final de ano da empresa IUHASIDUHAIUSDHIAUHSD foi aquela baixaria que todo mundo já sabe, mas deu pra se divertir, quem me tem no face viu as fotos, como eu tava linda, cofcof IUHSADHUAIHD
Antes que eu esqueça, eu queria elogiar a base seda. Aquela velha história do bom, bonito e barato. O único defeito é que eu não senti diferença na descamação, mas minhas unhas estão branquinhas, sem nenhum amarelado... Então troféu meio joinha UHASIDUHAUHDIAUSHDIUH
Acho que era isso... Beijos meninas!
