Martin Marietta SM-68A/HGM-25A TITAN I Intercontinental Ballistic Missile
Entering operational service in 1962, Titan I was the United States' first multi-stage ICBM (Intercontinental Ballistic Missile). Incorporating the latest design technology, Titan provided an additional nuclear deterrent to complement the US Air Force's Atlas missile. Though the SM-68A was operational for only three years, it was an important step in building the Air Force's strategic nuclear forces.
The first American ICBM based in underground silos, Titan I gave USAF managers, contractors, and missile crews valuable experience building and working in vast bunkers containing every thing the missiles and crews needed for operation and survival. These early silos, however, had certain drawbacks. First, the missiles took about fifteen minutes to fuel, and then had to be lifted to the surface on huge elevators for launching, which slowed their reaction time. Rapid launching was crucial to avoid possible destruction by incoming missiles, even though Titan shelters were designed to withstand nuclear blasts. Second, the missiles' placement close together in groups of three-necessary because they shared a single ground-based radio guidance system-made them vulnerable to nuclear attack. All-inertial guidance, which does not depend on ground computers, was not yet perfected
In its brief career, Titan I equipped six squadrons of nine missiles each, in Colorado, Idaho, California, Washington state, and South Dakota. Although Titan I's two stages gave it true intercontinental range and foreshadowed future multistage rockets, its propellants were dangerous and hard to handle. Super-chilled liquid oxygen oxidizer had to be pumped aboard the missile just before launch, and complex equipment was required to store and move this liquid. Kerosene fuel also was pumped aboard just before launch.
Titan I allowed USAF missileers to perfect techniques for efficiently operating strategic missile facilities spread across several states and requiring great coordination and skill. Still, the SM-68A was a transitional missile. Even as the USAF deployed 54 Titan Is on operational alert from 1963-65, it prepared to deploy more advanced Titan Ils in their place. Later missiles, like Titan II, used safer fuels and more advanced guidance, but followed the SM-68A example of underground basing and multiple stages.

A foto não chega nem aos pés do que é esse esmalte ao vivo! É caro (paguei R$12,90) mas é lindo de viver, vale muito a pena!!! Eu a-mei, tô apaixonada e já tá na minha unha há 5 dias (!!!), o que é bastante pra mim. Foram 3 camadas pra ficar do jeito que eu gosto, não passei nada embaixo. Ele reflete, principalmente, azul e roxo/rosa, e também, um dourado/ bronze.
Am 19. Februar waren wir mit "SAG'S MULTI!" am Ella- Lingens- Gymnasium zu Gast. 33 Reden in allen verschiedenen Kategorien wurden präsentiert.
Wir bedanken uns herzlich bei allen, die mitgewirkt haben un wünschen viel Erfolg für die Finalrunde!

In order to reduce the multi-billion dollar cost of corrosion on military vehicles, the sponsor, ElectraWatch, has developed a device called the Coating Health Monitor (CHM), a wireless corrosion coating monitor. The current CHM enclosure is not optimized for long-term usage or resistance to sustained environmental exposure, and does not meet military specifications for vibration and shock resistance. The project focused on redesigning the CHM enclosure to meet these specifications and developing FEA analyses to model the vibration and shock testing requirements with the support of physical test results.
Christa Miller-Shelley completed this project for her ENGS 190/290 engineering design course.

Les Jardins d'Étretat néo-futuristes s’étendent sur les falaises de la Côte d’Albâtre, une des merveilles de la Normandie avec une vue classée au Patrimoine Mondial de l'UNESCO.
Les jardins s'inscrivent dans un jeu de volumes en topiaire où le paysage, l'art contemporain, l'architecture et dialoguent en toute poésie.
Le projet est lauréat du European Garden Award dans la catégorie « Meilleure mise en valeur d'un jardin historique », bénéficie d'une étoile dans le Guide Vert MICHELIN, fait partie du réseau « Great Gardens of the World » et possède le label « Jardin remarquable »

A shot of the Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. Wayanad district is a thickly vegetated hilly area with many Nature Reserves. This was clicked at the Brahmagiri Hill where the famous Thirunelli Temple is situated. Wayanad district stands on the southern tip of the Deccan plateau and its chief glory is the majestic Western Ghats with lofty ridges interspersed with dense forest, tangled jungles and deep valleys, the terrain is rugged.

"What was he thinking about?" you ask. Tools. Power tools. No, this wasn't one of those meditative Hallmark moments, sts. He was actually pricing tools on my laptop while gracefully excepting his shift on kid duty.
What can I say, the man knows how to multi-task.
Still using family-trip-digital-point-and-shoot, unfortunately. Almost there, Nikon, almost there. Just five more months of tight budgeting.
