PANMUNJOM - With weapons at the ready, members of 194th Combat
Sustainment Support Battalion set out at dawn to conduct convoy
live-fire training here, March 25.
The fast-paced exercise exposed Soldiers to many of the real-world
perils found on today's asymmetric battlefield, culminating in a series
of drills designed to hone their skills in reacting to road-side bombs
and enemy small-arms fire.
"These Soldiers have been training for the past six months to prepare
for this day and their hard work is evident in the outstanding
performance I've seen throughout the battalion," said Command Sgt. Maj.
Nichelle S. Fails.
At times gritty and intense, the Soldiers worked in teams to zero in on
enemy targets with their rifles and machine guns.
"This scenario is interesting and very realistic," said Pvt. Jiwoo Kim,
a KATUSA assigned to the battalion.
Pvt. Dylan Florres, a battalion mechanic and one of the day's enemy
combatant role-players, sees the training as realistic and a good way to
build unit cohesion. "What we are doing is basically helping Soldiers
learn how to train safely and work as a team," he said.
"Everybody is highly motivated and ready to fight," said Chief Warrant
Officer 4 Joseph Williams, HHC, 194th Combat Support Sustainment
Battalion, safety officer. "Taking care of our Soldiers is very
important, we don't want any injuries. That's why we do risk assessments
and go over all of the details to make this a very safe, yet realistic,
training environment."
Master Sgt. Kenneth Ashley, the day's pyrotechnics NCO, described the
training as important in building teamwork within the battalion. "Here
in Korea and in places like Iraq and Afghanistan, we need to make sure
our Soldiers know how to react under fire and to ensure they are
prepared for anything the enemy throws at them."

The BTR-80 (Russian: бронетранспортер/Bronetransporter, literally "Armoured Transporter") is an 8x8 wheeled amphibious armoured personnel carrier (APC) designed in the USSR. It was adopted in 1986 and replaced the previous vehicles, the BTR-60 and BTR-70, in the Soviet Army. It was first deployed during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.
2S23 "Nona-SVK" - fire support vehicle with the 120 mm 2A60 rifled gun/mortar - developed on the base of 2А51 rifled gun/mortar of the 2S9 Nona - and a crew of 4. Adopted in 1990. Used by pro-Russian forces during the siege of Sloviansk, in the Donbass war. The vehicle was knocked down by the Ukrainian army at the end of May 2014. The mortar continued to be used by the rebels carried on by a trailer.

Wimbledon is the biggest event on the tennis calendar. Henman Hill is where the big crowds gather to watch the day's play on a large screen. Andy Murray (Scotland) was playing Andy Rodick (US) in the semi-final on the centre court so there was a very large partisan crowd. I tried to capure the afternoon's emotion through the crowd, focusing on individual moments.
Rodick beat Murray and got throught to the final to play 5 times Wimbledon Champion, Federer. I sat in fron of the TV for 4 hours urging on the American to win but, Federer was just to strong. Ah well better luck for the Andys next year.

The Jesuits shortly after the Council of Trent in 1563 came to Poland. Their mission was to protect the Catholic faith against the ideas of the Reformation. Thanks to the support of King Stefan Batory, they obtained the Krakow Barbara church, alongside of which a modest seat of the Order emerged. Soon it turned out that the small size of the church did not meet pastoral requirements. So arose the plan to build a new church.
The site was chosen in Grodzka street in the neighborhood of Clarissan or Poor Clare monastery and Andreas church. Thanks to the intercession of the preacher Piotr Skarga, King Sigismund III. Wasa the for this purpose necessary funds made available, and in the years 1597-1619 the new church was built. The Jesuit Church was the first church in Poland which was held in the then new Baroque style. The construction was not free of obstacles. It was only the third architect, Giovanni Trevano, who managed to crown the church with a dome and to design the imposing natural stone façade.
The towerless facade clearly follows the model of the Church Il Gesù in Rome, which played a big role model in the era of the early Baroque. At the beginning of the 18th century was from the side of Grodzka street a fencing with pedestals erected, designed by Kacper Bażanka, on which stand late baroque figures of the Twelve Apostles, a work of the German sculptor and Jesuit David Heel. As to the sculptures which can be seen today, these are copies.
The interior space of the church bears a monumental and austere character. The semicircular closed choir fills an altar of Kacper Bażanka in which an image from the 19th century with the representation of the handing over of the keys to Saint Peter is housed. The attention is attracted by the elaborate stucco decoration of the apse vault of Giovanni Battista Falconi, in which the history of Saints Peter and Paul becomes illustrative. In the crypt (which can be visited) Piotr Skarga lies buried - theologian, writer, preacher and confessor of King Sigismund III. Wasa.
Since 1832, the church in the succession of demolished church of All Saints serves as a parish church.
The church is bordered by the so-called Collegium Broscianum. These buildings were more or less constructed in the same time as the church and served as Collegium, in which today in place of the Jesuit clerics students of the Jagiellonian University attend lectures.
Die Jesuiten kamen kurz nach Abschluss des Konzils von Trient im Jahr 1563 nach Polen. Ihre Mission war es, den katholischen Glauben vor den Ideen der Reformation zu schützen. Dank der Unterstützung durch König Stefan Batory erhielten sie die Krakauer Barbarakirche, neben der ein bescheidener Sitz des Ordens entstand. Bald stellte es sich heraus, dass die kleinen Ausmaße der Kirche den seelsorgerischen Anforderungen nicht gerecht wurden. So entstand das Vorhaben, eine neue Kirche zu errichten.
Der Standort wurde in der Grodzka-Straße in der Nachbarschaft des Klarissinnenklosters und Andreaskirche gewählt. Dank der Fürsprache des Predigers Piotr Skarga stellte König Sigismund III. Wasa für diesen Zweck entsprechende Geldmittel zur Verfügung, und in den Jahren 1597-1619 wurde die neue Kirche errichtet. Die Jesuitenkirche war die erste Kirche in Polen, die in dem damals neuartigen Barockstil gehalten war. Der Bau verlief nicht ohne Hindernisse. Erst dem dritten Architekten, Giovanni Trevano, gelang es die Kirche mit einer Kuppel zu krönen und die imposante Hausteinfassade zu gestalten.
Die turmlose Fassade folgt eindeutig dem Vorbild der Kirche Il Gesù in Rom, die eine große Vorbildrolle in der Epoche des Frühbarocks spielte. Zu Beginn des 18. Jahrhunderts wurde von der Seite der Grodzka-Straße nach einem Entwurf von Kacper Bażanka eine Umzäunung mit Postamenten errichtet, auf denen spätbarocke Figuren der Zwölf Apostel stehen, ein Werk des deutschen Bildhauers und Jesuiten David Heel. Bei den heute zu sehenden Skulpturen handelt es sich um Kopien.
Der Innenraum der Kirche trägt einen monumentalen und strengen Charakter. Den halbrund geschlossenen Chor füllt ein Altar von Kacper Bażanka aus, in dem ein Bild aus dem 19. Jahrhundert mit der Darstellung der Schlüsselübergabe an Petrus untergebracht ist. Die Aufmerksamkeit zieht die kunstvolle Stuckdekoration des Apsisgewölbes von Giovanni Battista Falconi auf sich, in der die Geschichte der Heiligen Petrus und Paulus anschaulich wird. In der Krypta (die besichtigt werden kann) liegt Piotr Skarga bestattet – Theologe, Schriftsteller, Prediger und Beichtvater des Königs Sigismund III. Wasa.
Seit 1832 dient die Kirche als Pfarrkirche in der Nachfolge der abgerissenen Allerheiligenkirche.
An die Kirche grenzt das so genannte Collegium Broscianum. Diese Gebäude entstanden in etwa gleichzeitig mit der Kirche und dienten als Collegium, in dem heute anstelle der Jesuitenkleriker die Studenten der Jagiellonen-Universität Vorlesungen besuchen.

Teignmouth Grand Pier old supports
THE BIRTH OF TEIGNMOUTH PIER.
The Pier at Teignmouth was built in 1865 by an engineering consultant from London, called Joseph Wilson.
As a boy, Joseph William Wilson yearned to be an engineer, much to his fathers disapproval, he’d always hoped that he would follow the family tradition and take up a clerical post. After his sons initial schooling as a cleric, Joseph’s’ father was eventually persuaded to send him, as an apprentice, to work under his cousins tutelage in Fox and Henderson, an engineering firm. Later on in his career he acted as an assistant engineer for the firm, on the construction of Crystal Palace, London. He had an inventive mind, and introduced many improvements to the machinery used on the construction. When he left there, he set up in partnership with his brother-in-law and opened The Oldbury Engineering Works. Then, due to ill health, he left Oldbury and set up as a Consulting Engineer in Banbury, where he and his son carried out the construction of Teignmouth Pier. Joseph Wilson died in 1898.
CONSTRUCTION
The Pier is constructed of cast-iron screw piles, these are literally screwed into the sand with a large hexagon on the pile. They are screwed down to the clay level or infact until refusal. Any new steel piling has been driven 80ft right to bedrock. The deck is open and made up of wood from the Yellow Balou, a hard wood from Borneo. The deck was only recently renewed and will last for another 25 years, withstanding the continuous assault from the sea.
A total of 89 piers were built in England & Wales between 1814 and 1910. Only 50 of the original piers are still standing, however, some of those no longer function as a pier. They are forgotten structures pointing out to sea, reminders of another era. Those of us who like to be reminded of days gone by, can still take a stroll out on the few remaining, safe and attractive piers.
Although Teignmouth Pier has undergone many changes in its history, it is one of only two piers left on the South West coast of England, and that is something, Teignmouth, Devon and the English Heritage should be proud of.
VICTORIANS.
Teignmouth became a popular seaside destination in 1817, when the Victorians frequented coastal resorts in favour of the “big smoke” cities they lived and worked in. Doctors used to prescribe a get away for their ails and some even advised their patients to drink the sea water! It was believed to have healing properties.
Initially, Teignmouth Pier was a landing stage. It’s purpose was to enable steam boat passengers to get to the shore. The Victorians used to enjoy their stroll along the promenade, but for some the pull of the sea was too much, so they would walk out to the end of the Pier and look at the view. They could imagine being on board a ship, with the added advantage of a stable footing. But as the jetty was used more and more frequently for promenading, the need for entertainment did not go un-noticed. Some entrepreneurs saw the potential of a captive audience and decided to build on the jetty, giving refreshments and other amusements. For instance the old machine “what the Butler saw” was one of the first to be installed on the Pier.
During the 2nd World War, a 60 foot section of deck was removed so that the Germans could not breach us if they invaded England. Nearly all the piers on the East and South coasts were dealt with in the same way.
Compensation was paid out for replacement of that section but many remained in that state for a considerable period. Our own wasn’t brought to its original width until the early 1960’s.
Area Support Group Afghanistan (ASG-A) personnel were among more than 500 participants in the annual Army Ten-Miler shadow run at Bagram Airfield Oct. 4. Shadow runs are held at various locations throughout the Combined Joint Operations Area Afghanistan and in locations throughout the globe. The race is held annually in Washington, D.C., in October. Beginning as a way to promote the Army, build esprit de corps, support physical fitness, the Army Ten-Miler began with nearly 14,000 participants in 1985 and has capped at 35,000 in recent years. It is the second largest ten-mile race in the United States and the third largest ten-mile race in the world. The race generally sells out in less than 12 hours. More than a quarter million people have participated since its inception.

After reading so many stories since joining the "flick cancer" pool, I thought I might add a bit about my experience.
I was diagnosed with early stage Cervical Cancer (adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS)) March 2004, and had a radical hysterectomy in July of that year - three months of waiting for them to decide what they were going to do with me, half-way through my final year of my re-training in Multimedia.
I finished the study after only taking two and a half weeks off.
I am one of the lucky ones - no Chemo, no Radiotherapy - nothing apart from the surgery.
I "celebrated" two years last month - I feel relieved of course that the 3 monthly check-ups have now been reduced to six-monthly, and that I have had no re-occurance of the cancer at all.
But I also feel a terrible guilt that I am a survivor. I had it so easy, when so many other people do not. It is a bit of a cycle I get myself into, feeling sorry for myself for the loss of my uterus, and then feeling terrible because I am so lucky to have been diagnosed early enough to be completely rid of my cancer, when so many others have such a hard time of it.
I am 37 and cancer free!
Anyway - just thought I'd share... thanks to those who show their support by adding this image to their stream.

The rotating wafer support maintains flatness and position of 4", 6", 8", 10", 12", and 13.625" diameter wafers in order to achieve contamination-free contact angle readings while preserving flatness. Each wafer support is hand lapped to a high-tolerance. The support incorporates a rotating stage plate which is graduated in 1° increments with displacement holes for creating the appropriate suction. The wafer support mounts directly to the leveling stage of the Contact Angle Goniometer. Model 400 supports and includes an 8" wafer support (and other sizes can be added). Models 190, 200, 250, and 290 support the 4" wafer support only. Larger supports may require an upgrade kit which will extend the focal length of the camera and extend the microsyringe fixture. We offer kits which include all of the necessary parts.
