Royal Ordnance Corp monitoring stations were built at many locations in the UK throughout the Cold War and were used to monitor for signs of nuclear attack as part of an early warning and response effort should the need have ever arisen. When the communist block fell apart in the late eighties early nineties there was no further use for them. There are a small number still in existence today, most of which are too dangerous to enter due to their derelict condition but a small number have been restored by groups of volunteers and are now used as private museums with tours by prior appointment.

Tracks, barbed wire, utility structures, and a security camera sign form a quiet system of restriction — a place organized by lines, warnings, and distance.

My new monitor arrived today! I'm so happy. I've replaced my PC, mouse and monitor. My keyboard is relatively new so I am keeping it. The new monitor is so clear compared to my old one. It is also larger and much lighter. I love it!

Lunchtime at the house, something rustles around the corner and a moment later the comrade comes around the corner.
He looks past, tongue flickering, in search of food. A good meter long and not at all shy, he tries to get onto our terrace. The broom is within reach and is easily used to direct the lizard in a different direction. A hiss is the response, but after several gentle pressures, the reptile clears the area and goes to the neighboring house.
The USS Monitor was the revolutionary all iron design with the world's first nautical rotating gun turret. Lifesavers provided for ironic visible scale. The model was built in the early 1970's by Arthur G. Henning, Inc, 17 South 3rd Ave., Mount Vernon, NY 10550, to exact measurements from archival blueprints. The ship model is 43 1/2" long X 10 3/4" wide X 6 1/2" high. It was commissioned by Dr. Philip S. Platt, a previous MHS President, in 1974 for $1,200. It was donated by him to be part of the 1974 MHS exhibit about Cornelius Bushnell and the Monitor.

The second monitor from left on the top shelf looks exactly like the one we have, though I believe we paid at least $20-$30 dollars less when it was on sale at the Southaven Office Depot. I believe this is the first row of shelving in the front right portion of the store, but could be the second row.

The USS Monitor was the revolutionary all iron design with the world's first nautical rotating gun turret. It was designed by John Ericsson and financed and promoted to the Navy by Madison's Cornelius Scranton Bushnell. When the Union learned that the Confederates were building an iron clad ship to fight against Federal blockades of Southern ports, it quickly countered with the Monitor. See www.madisonhistory.org/uss-monitor/ for the whole story. The Monitor's most notable engagement was against the CSS Virginia (a.k.a USS Merrimack) during America's Civil War at Hampton Roads, Va. in March of 1862.
This is a large (1/4"=1' scale) museum-quality wooden model of the USS Monitor in its battle-ready appearance. The model was built in the early 1970's by Arthur G. Henning, Inc, 17 South 3rd Ave., Mount Vernon, NY 10550, to exact measurements from archival blueprints. It is a duplicate of the model ship on display at the Smithsonian, which the Henning firm also produced. According to the firm, ours has more detail inside the turret. The ship model includes an anchor and the Ericsson-designed propellor. Painted flat black with red-lead colored hull. The ship model is 43 1/2" long X 10 3/4" wide X 6 1/2" high. It was commissioned by Dr. Philip S. Platt, a previous MHS President, in 1974 for $1,200. It was donated by him to be part of the 1974 MHS exhibit about Cornelius Bushnell and the Monitor.

The Emerald Tree Monitor is an arboreal monitor lizard. Its colouration helps camouflage it in its arboreal habitat.
I think I have the id correct but I'm happy to be informed otherwise if someone knows I'm wrong.

The Common Indian Monitor lizard is found widely distributed over South Asia. This large lizard is mainly terrestrial, and grows to about 175 cm from the tip of the snout to the end of the tail. Young monitors may be more arboreal, but adults mainly hunt on the ground, preying mainly on arthropods, but also taking small terrestrial vertebrates, ground birds, eggs and fish. Although large monitors have few predators apart from humans who hunt them for meat, younger individuals are hunted by many predators. They are usually shy and avoid humans. They have keen eyesight and can detect human movement nearly 250 m away. When caught, a few individuals may bite, but rarely do so. They are capable of rapid movement on the ground. Small individuals may climb trees to escape, but larger ones prefer to escape on the ground. They can climb well. On the ground, they sometimes stand on the hind legs to get a better view or when males fight other males. They can also swim well and can stay submerged for at least 17 minutes. Monitors are among the most intelligent of reptiles, and can be domesticated and trained to a limited extent, though they are not the most docile of pets. They have strong claws they use for climbing.
