Designed as a driver's sidearm in jungle environments, the Valdivia SAS-12 is a semi-automatic shotgun which features an unusual underbarrel electric chain-bayonet. Though the instruction manuals describe this bayonet as being for "wire fence, small branch, and large vine cutting" stories quickly circulated of soldiers getting kills with the chain-bayonet.
Though never officially adopted by any military, its underbarrel attachment gained it much notoriety, making it sought after by private owners, criminals, and hired guns.
আমি তখন রাতের ট্রেনে করে ঢাকা থেকে বাড়ি আসছিলাম। আমার মতো আরো অনেকেই সেরাতে আসন বিহীন টিকেট নিয়ে ট্রেনে উঠেছিল। ছবির যাত্রীরা (খুব সম্ভবত মা - মেয়ে) আমার পাশেই দাঁড়ানো ছিল এবং ট্রেন ছাড়ার বেশ কিছু সময় পর ওনারা ক্লান্তিতে ট্রেনের মেঝেতেই বসে পরেন। তুলনামূলক বেশি ক্লান্ত হওয়ায় মেয়েটিকে মা নিজের বাহুতে শোবার জায়গা করে দেন। ট্রেনে ভিড় ও প্রতিকূল পরিস্থিতির মধ্যেও মায়ের কোলে নিশ্চয়তা ও নিরাপত্তা পেয়ে ঘুমিয়ে পড়ে মেয়েটি।

This female hairy dragonfly (Brachytron pratense) was busy laying her eggs on surface debris which allowed me to get close enough for a shot.
This one is pretty easy to identify as it flies so much earlier than all other large dragonflies here in Sweden.

I've been seeing Moose in recent trips into Grasslands (the national park on my doorstep). They are nowhere to be found during the hot summer months, when tourists fill the single campground and the noise and activity level predictably rises. In fall and winter, however, I am usually the only human prowling around out there. And I'm quiet. And I have moments like this.
By the second week in October, the rut is over or nearly so. The big bull (in the middle) was sticking close to the cow, browsing on the bushes, when he became very focused on the dense thickets. A moment later, a second, smaller bull appeared. The big guy moved to head him off, keeping his bulk between the smaller moose and the cow. Then, across the field, a second cow showed up with her calf, and the smaller bull decided to check her out - and I shot this frame. For a few moments we had five moose in view. Pretty exciting!
I was accompanied by a friend who shoots video. We had approached the first two moose using available cover. It helped that a river ran between us; the animals probably felt secure behind that barrier. They were aware of us but paid little attention. I was shooting with the Nikon 200-500 mm that morning, and the 36 mp D810 body allowed for a moderate crop with no perceptible falloff in sharpness.

To secure instant deployment, „dipteria class“ airships like the „Firefly“ could stay skybound for a month on end. The original paddlewheel-based propulsion had recently been updated with two massive 'Brickerton' engines with adjustable platinum-coated six-blade rotors, allowing for a top speed of 50 knots. Four smaller engines could, theoretically, add an additional ten knots, although their primary use was to allow for steady hovering of the vessel when in action. Nine water cannons – two of them massive with ranges of up to 250 meters, could extinguish any flame. The gargantuan water tank in the ship's hull can hold up to 400.000 liters of water, yet even this feature had been updated. A recent invention employed basic physics: Compressed air was shot out of the cannons which then condensed over the burning fire site. This not only made for less water spillage but also drastically reduced weight and power consumption, thereby increasing speed, range and duration of deployment.
To effectively and safely operate in smoke-filled dizzying altitudes, the firemen carried special breathing apparatuses and security goggles with nighttime vision. A state-of-the-art infirmary allowed for the performance of emergency operations with a high-tech ICU specialized in treating burns.
Additionally, three self-propelled service vessels, among them the blimp 'Sparkle' could be deployed to assist in the rescue of people floating on life-preservers, rafts or smaller airships.
All these brave men adhered to a simple yet catchy mission statement: „WE KICK ASH!“.

Before a ship could be secured to a dock, a connection had to be made between the two — no easy task across a gap of open water. A light line with a weighted end was thrown first, then used to haul the heavy mooring lines across. These heaving line weights from the working waterfront of Willapa Bay did that job: the rope knotwork concentrated at the base of each tapered form added heft for throwing while absorbing the punishment of repeated impact on dock planking and ship decking. The wear on the rear examples bears witness to a life of hard use. The spherical monkey's fist at center right represents the same principle in its most classic sailor's form.

Apparently the owner thought so - look closely at the padlock and bold. An allotment shed does not contain much of real value I suppose.
Venice, Italy. The locked gate seems inappropriate. At first it appears that the Madonna and Child are prisoners. Instead the gate merely prevents tampering with the small shrine, meaning that the objects have some intrinsic value to its creator.

Eflatun Pınar.....bears unique testimony to a major cult monument of the Hittite Empire. The Hittites secured the political unity in Anatolia, existed in these lands roughly between 1620 BC and 1200 BC and acquired a very different and significant place in the Anatolian history. The Hittites built their temples nearby sources of water as they thought water was elixir of life. The spring sanctuary of Eflatun Pınar has a great importance within the water cult having a significant role in the Hititte religion. Integration of water in the architectural and religious concept is a unique feature of the site. As the Hittites had a theocratic understanding of religion they often established their cities and erected their temples nearby the sources of water which is elixir of life. These sources of water and rivers were sanctified and good deal of importance that attached to the cult of water by performing a lot of rituals. In lots of places of the Hittite Empire territory, foremost Hattusa, basins, dams, weirs, especially rock monuments were built nearby water were unearthed. For usually Hittite spring sanctuaries had been carved everywhere in Anatolia in the natural rock, but in this case obviously Eflatun Pınar was erected artificially in order to be able to mount the relief. Thousands tons of stones had to be transported from an andesite quarry about five kilometres away from the construction site that is an impressive logistical achievement. No inscriptions were found at the site, but based on its proximity to Yalburt and Köylütolu Monuments this monument may be dated to the 2nd half of 13th century BC. A Hittite cult basin is also preserved in Yalburt, a place that is only 60 kilometres away from Eflatun Pınar. Yet the water structural arrangements of this monument are very simple and cannot be compared to those in Eflatun Pınar. In one point, the two structures are nevertheless similar the basin of Yalburt is erected of large ashlars, that are stacked up in several courses. There is no relief existed on the monument of Yalburt and as a result of its drain spring, it has lost its original function currently.
