Hiya !
Uncle Quentin has bearded Mrs La Zooli for some advice. We shall listen in, to learn.
Uncle Quentin has been vaping with his imaginary friend, Betty Boop.
"Ah !" says Mrs La Zooli. "And did you vape...together ?"
"Together ? Yes, we did, indeed."
"Well, then. Under the law of Engerlund, you are legally married."
"Because we vaped together ?"
"Exactly."
"Blimey !" exclaims Uncle Quentin.
"Also..." says Mrs La Zooli, ominously, "that is not Betty Boop at all, at all, it is General Custer. And he is proper real."
"Blimey again !" exclaims Uncle Quentin. "But I'm not married to him, am I ?"
"Of course you are ! It's the law !"
"Crivens !" says Uncle Quentin.
"Look..." he does say, presently, "you could have a word, like, with Sir Picanuper, he loves me, doesn't he ?"
"In a grown up and platonic way, yes, he Loves Everybody Unreservedly, as all do know. You must stand by General Custer, else Sir Picanuper must encase you in jelly, again, only this time it will be Lemon Jelly, with fast acting Beebler Beebler enhanced enzymes..."
Uncle Quentin is crying.
"Drat..." he says. "Drat it all..."
Walk Tall !

Before the Amary Athvi Juloos reaches the corner where the bloodletting zanjir matam and kama matam take place , little kids begin their scourging on the streets itself, and this is a euphoric , seamless without me glorifying the ritual of blood.
The kids I must reiterate are totally involved , the very young ones are with their parents or guardians but the older kids are out here on their own, there is no parental pressure or guidance as this ritual is part of the Shia ethos at all levels whether you are a rich or a Shia from the slums.. the blade cuts both ways.
Mind you in Juloos such as these or for the matter any Shia Juloos there is hardly any media coverage..hardly any photographer . just a few stray guys doing video recording for private reasons.
The Shia organizers dont believe in media , they want the juloos to begin and end without any communal skirmishes , and here I must mention earnestly without prejudice or bias that other communities support the cause of Hussain.
The Hindus Sunni Muslims Christians watch from the sidelines as the juloos makes its way to its end.
So as a Shia , as a photographer who shoots all religiosity with sincerity and the same emotion and passion as I would be shooting Lal Bagh Chya Raja or the 14 Stations of the Cross barefeet on Good Friday I shoot the Shia processions during Moharam or otherwise.
I chronicle Mumbai the city of my Inheritance its multi colred culture, I am as much a Hindu as much as you are a Muslim , a thought I believe in , because every religion is bound to Humanity and over personal ideology respect and mutual coexistence and tolerance is the keystone of a Mumbaikar from Amchi Mumbai.
As Shias we are products of our surroundings too, how we translate our spiritual angst is what matters the most, predominantly the Shias of Mumbai are very cool headed and peace oving people , they do what they do, they cut their bodies a form of expression expounding the tragedy of Karbala , the genocide the inhuman manner in which the Holy Prophets grandson Imam Hussain was killed in cold blooded murder by the custodians of Yazidi Islam at that time.
So Islam too though universal in Peace and Brotherhood has a few chapters reeling in blood , persecution hate and bigotry.
What the Shia is trying to translate by his blood letting his matam that Karbala should not repeat itself, and Terrorism is the greatest enemy of Humanity cloaked in any form or disguise.
Imagine a 1400 yea old protest from one generation to the next unbroken as it continues , a banner of revolt as red as the Shias blood on the soul of Humanity by subsequent Yazid and his followers.
This is in short a treatise on the Shia ethos angst that the majority does not want to see ..every corrupt nation or its despotic ruler falls in front of the popular will of the people.
It is people that make or recreate History.
So as a poet I picturize the pain of the Shias , I shoot the coming of Age of the Shia child, the Shia motherhood that produces and keeps the flame alive of Azadari and love of Hussain.,
I shoot all this as a street photographer a canvas that reads as photo blogs.. mind you I shoot without proselytizing my Faith , I dont believe in conversions I respect the Mothers womb the only place you were a human before you become a bigot.. or a faithful believer of Humanity irrespective of your caste color or creed.
So see my world through my camera eyes.. I dont wish to change your views your own religious opinions..my blog is a blog of peace and the source of my blogs is as human as the tear that falls from my eyes we call it Ghame Hussain.
And with this set Moharam will be over , but than it is a state of our Choice and the struggle continues against Oppression and Persecution.
I will shed my black clothes wear saffron the color of my culture and the metaphor of my surroundings.. so dont blame me if the poet in me calls himself a Shia Hindu..
Yes I shoot Hope and Hindutva too as a message of Peace and Humanity.
The Precision Guidance Kit (PGK) contains a Global Positioning System guidance kit with fuzing functions to improve the accuracy of conventional 155mm high-explosive projectiles in the inventory. This ability to correct the inherent errors associated with ballistic firing solutions, reduces the number of artillery projectiles required to attack targets. The increase in efficiency that PGK's "near-precision" capability provides allows operational commanders to engage assigned targets and rapidly achieve desired effects while minimizing collateral damage. PGK is a product of Program Executive Office Ammunition.

SPACE SHUTTLE PROGRAM FIXED BASE GUIDANCE AND NAVIGATION SIMULATOR
One of only three advanced space shuttle orbiter simulators used to train NASA astronauts.
The fixed-base Guidance and Navigation Simulator (GNS) represents one of only three simulators once used to train astronauts for the Space Shuttle Program at NASA's Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas. Along with the motion-base Shuttle Mission Simulator (SMS) and the Fixed-Base Simulator (FBS), these complex machines were used to create a series of various mission tasks ranging from full mission rehearsals down to recreating specific exercises such as atmosphere entry or launching satellites.
Predating the SMS and FBS, the GNS was built in the late 1970s and operational by 1982. Initially it was primarily used only to test and verify guidance and navigation software that would later be installed in the SMS, FBS, and orbiters. As such it originally did not have visual computer-generated windscreen displays and much of the interior was unfinished, though it did contain the same complex array of cockpit instrumentation, controls, and computer displays operated by five distinct general-purpose computers (GPC) present in actual orbiters.
Following the Challenger accident investigation, the Rogers Commission suggested that NASA invest in additional crew training simulators to provide increased and expanded training and to handle the higher frequency of missions. However, the cost of providing an additional SMS or FBS proved too expensive, so NASA elected to upgrade the GNS into a full fixed-base crew simulator that was essentially identical to the FBS.
The upgraded GNS flight deck was enhanced to provide a more realistic appearance and a full visual computer-generated imagery system for the six forward facing windscreens. Computer-generated imagery (CGI) was a new science in the early 1980s and all the simulators used a first-generation CGI system, rudimentary by today's standards.
For 20 years the upgraded GNS was used interchangeably with the FBS and it is likely that every post-Challenger crew spent time in the GNS practicing launch, ascent, orbit, re-entry, and landing procedures.
With the end of the Space Shuttle Program, the GNS was retired in 2011. In late 2020 the GNS was used on the set of a science fiction movie due to be released in late 2021 [not sure why they’re being cryptic, its Roland Emmerich’s Moonfall]. The filmmakers modified the simulator's external appearance, making the GNS more closely resemble the outer surface of an actual orbiter, along with internal cabin modifications. Following movie shooting, the GNS flight deck was donated to the Pima Air & Space Museum in early 2021.

Minuteman II NS17 Guidance Set
The Boeing LGM-30F Minuteman II Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) relied on this all-inertial NS17 Missile Guidance Set (MGS) for accurately navigating to its target thousands of miles away. The MGS, originally designed and produced by the Autonetics Division of North American Aviation, could store multiple preprogrammed targets in its internal memory.
Unlike other methods of navigation, inertial guidance does not rely on observations of land positions or the stars, radio or radar signals, or any other information from outside the vehicle. Instead, the inertial navigator provides the guidance information using gyroscopes that indicate direction and accelerometers that measure changes in speed and direction. A computer then uses this information to calculate the vehicle's position and guide it on its course. Enemies could not "jam" the system with false or confusing information.
The Ogden Air Logistics Center at Hill AFB has been Program Manager for the Minuteman ICBM family since January 1959. The base has had complete logistics management responsibilities for Minuteman and the rest of the ICBM fleet since July 1965.

The Drums of Africa is a visually expressed personal guidance system. Our ancestors have documented the lessons of life into profound proverbs that can be easily remembered and referred to in our approach to everyday life. The series
displays these proverbs as typographic compositions combined with tribal forms found in South Africa’s folk
arts and crafts. In fact, symbolic elements from the intricate beadwork of the Bantu-speaking tribes, the refined basketry of the Zulu, and the highly coloured, bold, geometric forms of the Ndebele, ordain the fragile hand-drawn Helvetica typeface.
The result is a combination of contemporary type,
decorated with traditional silhouettes. Upholding the lessons and motivations of African culture, the compositions serve as daily affirmations and motivations.
The original oil paintings are on display at Kozi’s : Meet ’n Eat, an African inspired restaurant in Athens, Greece. A limited edition of signed prints have been created to accompany the work and are also available online at www.dimitratzanos.com

United Nations police week 2017
Upendra Baghel, UNAMA Senior Police Adviser, Stefan Feller, former UN Police Adviser, UN Police Adviser Luis Carrilho and UNISFA Senior Police Adviser Mary Gahonzire ahead of the Security Council briefing.
On Monday, the Security Council adopted resolution 2382 (2017), which supports operationalizing the Strategic Guidance Framework for International Police Peacekeeping. The resolution also recognized the important role that United Nations police components play in the protection of civilians, including in preventing and addressing sexual and gender‑based violence, and violations and abuses against children.
In his address to the Security Council, Under‑Secretary‑General for Peacekeeping Operations Jean‑Pierre Lacroix said the United Nations police played a continued vital role in bridging the Organization’s work from prevention and peacekeeping to peacebuilding and development (Video recording). The Police Commissioner of the United Nations Mission for Justice Support in Haiti (MINUJUSTH), Brigardier General Georges-Pierre Monchotte, briefed the Security Council on good practices of reforming the Haiti National Police (video recording). The Police Commissioner of the United Nations Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali (MINUSMA), Issoufou Yacouba briefed on strengthening the serious and organized crime capacities of the Malian security forces (video recording). Police Commissioner Priscilla Makotose of the African Union/United Nations Hybrid operation in Darfur (UNAMID) briefed the Security Council on gender responsive policing (video recording). Following the briefing, Security Council President, Italian Ambassador Sebastiano Cardi, the Head of UN peacekeeping USG Jean-Pierre Lacroix and Police Adviser Luis Carrilho (UNPOL) delivered a press briefing (video recording).
On Tuesday, the discussions of heads of UN police components focused on partnerships, good practices and challenges of UN capacity-building. More than 11,000 United Nations police officers from 89 countries (as of September 2017), are mandated to assist host-States in reforming their police and other law enforcement institutions.
Building on Security Council resolution 2382 (2017), Police Commissioners focused on Wednesday on how police can be more effective in conflict prevention, peacekeeping and peace sustainment. Heads of UN police components also discussed how to achieve gender-responsive policing. As of September 2017, 1,118 female police officers from 70 countries serve in peacekeeping operations and special political missions. They act as role models for gender equality, inspiring women and girls to advocate for their own rights and pursue careers in law enforcement.
On Thursday, United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres briefly met and took a photo with the Under-Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Jean-Pierre Lacroix, Assistant Secretary-General for Peacekeeping Operations, Bintou Keita, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions, Alexandre Zouev, UN Police Adviser Luis Carrilho and Heads of police components in UN peace operations. In his message, Secretary-General Guterres stressed that United Nations police save countless lives, heal community tensions. The Secretary‑General also called for more women in United Nations police command positions.
Earlier on the same day, the UNAMID Police Commissioner Priscilla Makotose, MONUSCO Police Commissioner Awale Abdounasir and MINUSCA Police Commissioner Roland Zamora briefed the Special Committee on Peacekeeping Operations (C-34) on transitioning, gender/electoral security and capacity development respectively.
On Friday, UN police week closed following a session on human rights in UN police activities. The closing remarks were delivered by Alexandre Zouev, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions, Bintou Keita, Assistant Secretary-General for Rule of Law and Security Institutions and UN Police Adviser Luis Carrilho.

CDC remakes its Covid-19 response after criticism over mask guidelines
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Director Rochelle Walensky is shaking up the agency’s Covid-19 response to consolidate oversight amid mounting criticism over its guidance for vaccinated people, according to three senior health officials with the knowledge of the situation.
The changes in recent weeks include creating a clear reporting chain from the new director of the agency’s vaccine task force — which helped rewrite rules for mask-wearing — up to Walensky. The head of that task force had originally reported to both CDC and the White House. Walensky has also reshuffled the CDC’s pandemic modeling and data, analytics and visualization task forces.
At the same time, the agency is weathering its first high-level departures during the pandemic. Last month, the agency’s chief respiratory disease scientist and vaccine task force leader Nancy Messonnier announced her resignation shortly after Walensky rejiggered the task force’s reporting structure. And on Monday, the CDC’s second-in-command, principal deputy director Anne Schuchat, said she would retire this summer.
The loss of two longtime CDC leaders combined with Walensky’s reshaping of the Covid-19 response is solidifying the CDC chief’s power, giving her control over some of the most critical policy conversations related to the pandemic. The changes she has made are also reinforcing her agency’s independence from the White House. As POLITICO has reported, several senior White House officials — including some on the White House Covid-19 task force — said the CDC did not warn them until the morning of the announcement that vaccinated people can forego masks in most situations.
Another senior administration official with direct knowledge of the situation said Walensky limited news of the upcoming change to a small group of CDC officials so the agency could better control messaging and did not brief local and state public health officials and public policy groups across the country.
Walensky decided to overhaul the structure of the agency’s Covid-19 response after several listening tours within CDC revealed pandemic task forces that were either no longer serving their original mission or that could be streamlined under a central leadership structure, a senior health official with knowledge of Walensky’s thinking said. As the number of new infections has dropped, the CDC’s focus has shifted to offering advice aimed at helping Americans return to normalcy — such as telling vaccinated people that they can forego masks in most situations.
A senior Biden health official described the reshuffle at the CDC as “a long time coming.”
“When Biden entered office, there were some very early conversations about how the CDC was going to be handled … who was going to lead it and what it needed to do to get back on track,” the senior health official said. “Dr. Walensky was chosen for the top job and was highly sought-after. But I think it is fair to say there have been some hiccups over the last few months that have created some tensions within the agency. And I think we’re starting to see the CDC director make some moves to change things.”
In a statement, CDC spokesperson Jason McDonald said the agency has “reorganized the incident management structure to best suit each phase of the nation’s response to COVID-19.” He added that “previous reorganizations added efficiencies and improved collaboration.” Another senior CDC official said Walensky “is informed of changes but not directly involved with decision-making” on restructuring within the agency.
The first hint that a major reorganization was underway came in late April, when Messonnier — then-head of the Covid-19 vaccine task force — went on leave. At the time, CDC officials described it as an unplanned vacation. Behind the scenes, Walensky had decided that the vaccine task force should be placed squarely under the oversight of the agency’s senior leadership, rather than reporting both to CDC brass and the White House, three senior health officials said.
Messonnier, who had operated semi-autonomously, was told the vaccine task force would now report to the CDC’s incident response team overseen by Henry Walke, director of the agency’s Division of Preparedness and Emerging Infections, who reports to Walensky. Two weeks later, Messonnier resigned after about 20 years at the agency. It was one of the first high-profile departures from CDC during the pandemic, despite the months of pressure and attacks the agency had weathered from the Trump administration.
At the time Messonnier announced her exit, several CDC officials said the vaccine task force had been reshaped because the vaccine rollout was running smoothly and the group’s mission was changing. Putting the group under the incident response team was a positive sign, CDC officials said, because it meant there was less need for extensive oversight of the vaccine. The vaccine task force had overseen distribution, administration and implementation.
More recently, Walensky has reassigned agency employees who were previously part of the Department of Health and Human Services' interagency Covid-19 workgroup, the “joint coordination cell,” which recently dissolved. Some of those officials have either gone back to working their normal CDC jobs full time or are serving on CDC task forces.
Growing criticism over vaccine guidelines
Through all of these changes, the agency was writing and rewriting its guidance on safety protocols for vaccinated people.
The CDC drew up the first version of that advice in early March. After two days of meetings and calls with senior officials on the White House’s Covid-19 task force and HHS, the CDC was told to “hold off on releasing” the recommendations, as POLITICO previously reported. A senior White House official denied any interference and said the CDC merely needed time to read officials in, not change the guidelines.
The agency eventually issued the guidelines on March 8 — advising vaccinated people that they could gather together without masks or staying 6 feet apart. The recommendations also said vaccinated people could gather indoors, maskless, with unvaccinated people from one other household. Then, on April 2, CDC said that fully vaccinated Americans could resume domestic and overseas travel as long as they wore masks in public.
Three weeks later, the agency put out a major update: Vaccinated people no longer needed to wear masks indoors or outdoors when in small groups with other fully vaccinated friends and family — and in some circumstances could go maskless with unvaccinated people.
That version of the guidelines came under widespread criticism. People within the Biden administration complained that CDC’s language was confusing. Republicans on Capitol Hill and across the country argued that the agency was too cautious and prescriptive in ways that limited the activity of vaccinated people.
CDC officials have long argued that the vaccine guidelines only evolve as the science becomes available and supports changes. But a senior administration official with knowledge of the situation said officials inside the CDC, White House and HHS have often disagreed on whether to loosen restrictions for vaccinated individuals.
At the end of March and beginning of April, several officials inside the CDC argued the science did not support rolling back things like mask mandates, particularly because the guidelines could signal that it was safe for all Americans to forgo adhering to public health measures. Other senior officials argued the country had vaccinated enough individuals that it was safe to give those people the choice to visit with other fully vaccinated Americans.
A change in leadership
Walensky decided to put Walke in charge of the next phase of vaccine guidelines just days before Messonnier officially resigned. On May 13, a week after Messonnier officially quit, the CDC said vaccinated people can remove masks in any kind of group gathering — big or small, indoors or outdoors, no matter who is present.
The decision marked a significant change in tone for the health agency, which for months slow-walked the rolling back of public health measures, even for vaccinated people. CDC officials had feared that moving faster would encourage the spread of new, highly transmissible Covid-19 variants that would reverse the country’s progress toward ending the pandemic.
“My sense is that there has been more and more real world data that has emerged that has guided the CDC in its decision making, especially on these recent guidelines,” said John Moore, a virologist and professor of microbiology and immunology at Weill Cornell Medicine. “There will be confusion over the next several weeks. Everyone has to develop their own comfort zone with the guidance.”
Health officials and experts across the country decried the new CDC advice, saying the agency’s recommendations would be difficult for state and local officials to implement and enforce.
“I would expect the CDC to recommend to local and state public health departments that when your vaccination coverage is at this level, when your cases are at this level … that is when you can locally recommend lifting mask requirements for vaccinated people,” said Celine Gounder, an infectious disease expert at New York University and a former adviser for Biden’s transition Covid-19 advisory board. “That is not what happened in this case.”
A senior health official working on the vaccine said the agency does not have the ability or wherewithal to craft local public health guidelines, and that it was up to local officials to find ways to guide their communities.
“The CDC just can’t win. First they are told that they are being too careful, too cautious with masks and travel,” a senior HHS official told POLITICO. “Then, they go forward with recommending getting rid of masks for vaccinated people and they are targeted for doing too much too soon. I mean, which is it? I think what’s clear is that there is a much clearer process to these things now.”

Titan II ICBM Site 571-7
The first inertial guidance system for the Titan II was built by AC Spark Plug, and included an inertial measurement unit based on designs from Draper Labs at MIT, and the ASC-15 computer designed and built by IBM in Owego, NY. The first Titan II missile carrying this system was launched 16 March 1962. Acquiring spares for this system became difficult, and the Air Force decided to replace it with a new system. The AC Spark Plug system, including the ASC-15, was replaced by the Delco Electronics Universal Space Guidance System (USGS) on operational Titan II missiles starting in January 1978. The guidance computer in the USGS was the Magic 352, made by Delco.
--------------
The INERTIAL MEASUREMENT UNIT or IMU, operational 1963-1979: was a part of the onboard missile guidance system. The IMU contained three gyros and accelerometers mounted on a stable platform to provide missile movement information to the guidance computer. It was located near the top of the missile in Stage II between the propellant tanks. A set of three surface-located reference points provided earth surface location information when the missile was in the silo. This information was sent down a transmission tube by a light beam to the Azimuth Alignment Set (AAS), for calibration and alignment of the Autocollimator. The Autocollimator projected a light beam to the IMU which detected any movement of the stable platform on board the missile, and transmitted this information to the Missile Guidance Alignment Checkout Group (MGACG) in the launch control center. The MGACG then transmitted alignment signals to the IMU to correct for the movement of the stable platform. This process of verifying the missile's exact location ensured that, at liftoff, the guidance system began the flight profile from an exact geographic position, assuring that the missile would be able to deliver the warhead to the designated target coordinates.
