200 MM Navy Rocket Launcher
Japan WWII
Although crudely constructed and employing the same firing mechanism as that used with the frame or trough types, this was the first Japanese attempt to produce a launcher similar to those used by the Germans.
The tube had a maximum elevation of 75 degrees and used a percussion-hammer type of firing mechanism. Incorporated into the breech end of the barrel is a plunger, which is cammed down when the rocket shell is loaded, causing the plunger to rise at the rear of the rocket which was held in place for firing. The main disadvantage of this launcher was that the tube quickly became overheated. After 3 or 4 rounds, almost an hour was required to cool the tube.
The Navy 20 cm projectile was actually an improvisation, consisting of a rocket motor attached to the tail end of a cut-down, 8 inch Japanese naval shell. They were first discovered on Iwo Jima and Luzon, and revealed that the Japanese had turned to spin stabilization. These projectiles had inclined jets, imparting spin during flight. The warhead and motor were integrated so that the projectiles did not have the appearance of improvisation so common among the earlier rocket bombs.
Caliber: 210 mm (8.3 in)
Weight: 236 kg (520 lbs)
Shell Weight: 90 kg (198 lbs)

The Supra Launch 21v is known for producing big air under even novice riders. The walls of wakes this Supra produces give beginning to intermediate shredders the momentum they need to get up and over aerial moves. Thanks to the customizable rider profiles housed in Supra’s VISION dash, wake riding sets can be tailored to individual skills with extreme precision. Wake shape, size and boat speed can all be programed to preference. The Launch 21V offers all of this wake performance without forgetting about what’s on the inside. Deep supportive seating frames a boat load of storage to accommodate as many as 14 and their gear on the lake. A huge insulated ice chest complimented by oversized cup holders adds to the 21V’s accommodation. Take into account the new standard Clarion-Polk Audio Sound System, customizable seating like the extended observer’s leanback and the choice of bow configurations with the walkthrough Sunsport and playpen Launch series models. The 21V is not just about accommodation but a truly individual experience.

A Cheetah D of the South African Air Force is almost obscured by a trail of smoke from the air-to-air missile it has just launched.
This launch took place at AFB Overberg on 10 November 2007 and was the first time, anywhere in the world, that a live air-to-air missile was fired at a public airshow.
More than 800 students from across the U.S. and Puerto Rico launched nearly 50 high-powered, amateur rockets April 15, near NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Alabama, during the Agency's annual rocket competition.
For the past nine months prior, teams of middle school, high school, college, and university students were tasked to design, build, and launch a rocket and scientific payload to an altitude between 4,000 and 6,000 feet, while making a successful landing and executing a scientific or engineering payload mission.
Student Launch is one of NASA's eight Artemis Student Challenges - a series of activities providing students access to the Artemis program. Through Artemis, NASA will return humans to the Moon for long-term exploration, including landing the first woman and first person of color on the lunar surface, missions that will help pave the way for future missions to Mars.

People are starting to post spring shots of lovely flowers and other cool stuff.
Well that's great, but I like summer better than spring. So here is a shot that makes you envy those days when its hot and you want a ice tea pronto.
Although im not going to lie to you, this was shot in the winter but it was an extremely sunny day. This is actually near the forgotten horse race track.
Have a great day!

Pro riders gravitate towards this sleek 24-footer for the accommodating 17-person interior as much as the performance and wakes. There’s a lot to be said for a plush place to recover and professional riders like Amber Wing are on board with Supra’s style of comfort. Amber especially appreciated the comfort and the performance of her Supra this year while she trained for and won Queen of Wake and Best Women’s Rider. The wide seating gives you the ability to kick back and slide into the luxurious interior with full support. Double-up convertible rear-facing seats take the strain out of being a spectator. Of course when it’s “game on,” riders want to be behind the 242 where the Gravity III ballast system swells to an industry-leading 1700 pounds, the SmartPlate refines shape and the wakes Launch. Take the reigns on all of this performance with the VISION dash controlling speed, wake size, wake shape and tailoring those settings for specific riders. The Supra Launch 242 is the ride of your life inside and out.

It's hard to get a shot of a small rocket taking off. One moment there's a rocket sitting there, and the next just a puff of smoke. This is the only shot I got of the darn thing leaving the launch pad, so let's just ignore the crooked horizon.

The total haul. Soul Calibur, the substandard Sonic game, an additional controller, a VMU, and the Dreamcast itself. So that's about $350.

This 22.5-foot wake boat welcomes as many as 13 with versatile seating, comfort and wake sport performance. The Launch 22V interior brings resilient multi-textured Syntec NANO Block vinyls together with the durability of exclusive Gore Tenara thread. Triple density foam construction makes the interior as cushy as it is beautiful. Supra has made the high-traffic path from the lounge to the swim step worry-free with a fiberglass seat step and transom walkacross. The wakes are multi-discipline and pro caliber. Control your curl and your ramps with cockpit switching or a Touch of the VISION. As fun to drive as it is to ride, the 22V slices through rough water with flat precise turns. High and slow speed maneuvers are almost as impressive as you will look pulling them off. Playpen or walk-through bow, the Launch and Sunsport 22V will fit your wake boating lifestyle.

Chief Superintendent Mark Robers and Trafford Council Leader Matt Colledge at the launch of the operation.
Greater Manchester Police’s Trafford Division, working in partnership with Trafford Council,
has launched Operation Griffin to tackle the area’s most persistent and problematic offenders.
The operation is designed to tackle those who cause the greatest nuisance and harm in their local communities. Police officers and representatives from various agencies are using e a variety of tactics, including investigations into fraud, traffic and vehicle related offences, music and film piracy, electricity abstraction and non payment of fines. All available avenues are being used to deal with offending behaviour.
Chief Superintendent Mark Roberts, Divisional Commander of Greater Manchester Police's Trafford Division, said: "The annual drops in crime and the improvement in our confidence surveys show that, as a partnership, we are making great strides in making the borough a safer place to live, work and visit.
"This is in part due to the excellent working relationship with partner agencies and I am confident that we will continue, via initiatives such as Operation Griffin, to drive down crime and make life difficult for those who choose to flaunt the law."
Trafford Council Leader Matt Colledge said: "The council and its partners are committed to protecting and enhancing the lives of law-abiding citizens within all our local communities. We have worked hard to ensure Trafford is a safe, attractive borough where residents can go about their daily business without fear or anxiety.
"We recognise persistent offenders, if unchallenged, can create significant unease and worry. We will not tolerate this and persistent perpetrators must realise we will be focusing on them and their activities. Through Operation Griffin we will stamp out their illegal, anti social behaviour, using the full force of our combined powers to bring them to task."
