A squad of cadets practice room clearing maneuvers and close quarter battles at Camp Shea June 17. The cadet holding the balloon is improvising as an enemy combatant. This exercise was part of a two-week Leadership Training Program which will enable the cows and firsties to lead the yearling class through Cadet Field Training in the coming weeks. Trainer teams comprised of West Point faculty and Soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division were used to assist the cadets in executing the training lanes – such as urban operations, marksmanship and land navigation – as well as instructing them on how to teach other cadets.

Brilliant.
And nothing geekier. :-)
His pants comes off and there's the stick. Now why does that sound kinky?

The Fluxels of the Swarm Arena (by NTT—Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation R&D Service Evolution Labs and the Ars Electronica Futurelab) were put to the test in torrential rain and freezing cold as the Ars Electronica Futurelab researchers were preparing them for upcoming events. Apart from their visual potential, the Fluxels demonstrate how SwarmOS can be used as a research platform for the future of expressive swarms and human-robot interaction.

Preparing lunch for the young one. Naturally focusing on the head/eyes, I didn't realise what this bird was up to until it took off carrying its catch.

Norfolk, VA (Feb. 06, 2014) Petty Officer First Class Thippanya walks up and down the ranks to ensure the students at aviation fire fighting school are in the proper personal protective equipment to fight the fire. Students from over 12 local commands were in attendance at the training which began at 0600 and ended six hours later after intensive firefighting on a model helicopter.

Student Alicia Dominguez is preparing to fasten the garboard planking to the lapstrake Whitehall being built in the 2007 Traditional Small Craft class. She's applying bedding compound to the rabbet on the keel.
Whitehalls are the iconic American pulling boat. They are a specialized form of wherry.
They emerged in New York City and, possibly, shortly thereafter in Boston in the 1830's. It is thought the name derives from Whitehall Street in New York City, though no one is sure.
The boats were usually used under oars and occasionally sail as fast harbor ferries and the boat used to take harbor pilots out to meet inbound sailing ships. They have a fine reputation as fast, easy-rowing vessels.
Most Whitehalls were carvel-built with white oak planking on an oak backbone with oak frames. (Carvel planking means that the planks butted up against each other, edge to edge).
Famously, John Wesley Powell used Whitehalls (built in Chicago for him) for his first trip down the mighty Colorado River in 1869.
Mystic Seaport has several fine sets of plans available for classic American Whitehalls. www.mysticseaport.org
The client for whom we built this boat wanted a Boston bow and a New York stern (characterized by it's fine "wineglass" shape).
Master Boatbuilder Ray Speck and the students in the 2007 Traditional Small Craft class joined the two iconic shapes on the loft floor, a challenging assignment, then, as the client wanted, built the boat as a lapstrake vessel to those revised lines. (Lapstrake planking overlaps, like clapboards do on a house).
Under Ray's supervision, the students built the boat of western red cedar planking on a white oak backbone and white oak frames. The transom was mahogany.
The boat was finished in mid-June and delivered to its new owner in Boston, Massachusetts.
The Northwest School of Wooden Boatbuilding is located in Port Hadlock WA and is a private, accredited non-profit vocational school. Our mission is to teach and preserve the fine art of wooden boatbuilding and traditional maritime crafts.

Workmen assembling some of the funfair rides that are dotted around the festive market and outdoor ice rink which are being set up in Princes Street Gardens, still working away even after dark tonight as I made my way home (okay, as I made my way to the pub, then home!). Don't envy them working away, it was bitterly cold this evening, not a night to be working outdoors.
