The Special Weapons Dalek is one of the few Dalek props to be used in the classic and revived series.
It was first seen in the 1988 story, "Remembrance of the Daleks" and was seen again in the 2013 story "Asylum of the Daleks"
Salinas, Puerto Rico –Soldiers of the 1st Mission Support Command conducted their weapons qualification training on April 24, 2015 at Camp Santiago Salinas, PR. This is a yearly mandatory requirement for all soldiers. This event is more than qualifying and meeting the Army standards, also helps the soldier to become more proficient with their weapon and helps maintain the unit readiness of the command.

Get any weapon you could need from Kai and Nya's blacksmith shop! Who can say no to a blade signed by the Master of Fire?*
Another section from Kai and my NINJAGO collab, and one of my favorites - I just love the colors here! Plus, as this was the first on I built, I didn't have to worry too much about parts and size, so that was definitely a plus, haha! The stone floor/pathway was a new technique for me here, but I'm very happy with how it turned out!
This is also the second largest of my sections of the collab - be on the lookout for Sensei Wu's Monastery sometime next week!
Scroll on through my photostream for more closeups and interior pictures, or check out all the sections I've uploaded
here, and don't miss Kai's in this album!
Thanks for viewing, C&C welcome as always!

Nelson Mandela once said that, “Education is the most powerful weapons which you can use to change the world.”
The Right To Education: A Selection of Posters from the Poster for Tomorrow organization is on view at the Stambaugh Studio Theatre Gallery from February 27—March 30, 2012 at Ohio Northern University. The exhibit showcases about 100 posters, representing several countries.
Every year, Poster for Tomorrow chooses a basic human right to draw attention to. Then, they invite the global design community to make posters on the theme that are exhibited around the world on International Human Rights Day, December 10th.
Ohio Northern is only one of two sites in the United States to host this international poster exhibit.
The competition was judged in two phases by a preselection committee and an international jury. During the first jury session, ONU graphic design professor Brit Rowe was selected to take part in the jurying process. “We short-listed the 3,000 entries to about 100,” said Rowe.
Poster for Tomorrow chose to fight for the right to education for all as they believe that education gives people across the whole world the chance to break the cycle of poverty; to live in a more equal world, without discrimination, where everybody has the same chance to learn the same skills and enjoy the same success. And that makes it the perfect subject for the design community to address.
Incredibly 121 million children worldwide are not in primary school, despite universal primary education being a right guaranteed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and being Goal 2 of the UN Millennium Development Goals. Illiteracy rates are staggeringly high even in countries where a child’s right to education is guaranteed.
According to the National Adult Literacy Survey, 42 million adult Americans can’t read (and current estimates have the number of functionally illiterate adults in the United States increasing by approximately 2,500,000 persons each year). In France illiteracy has become a “cause nationale” with 3.1 million people unable to read, write or count. The rate of illiteracy in the United Kingdom is unacceptably high according to Parliament.
In addition to the poster competition, this year, for the first time, Poster for Tomorrow organized a series of workshops across Africa to give young African designers the chance to work with some of the leading designers in the world. Poster for Tomorrow hosted workshops in Burkina Faso, Ghana, Guinea, Kenya, Mali, Morocco, South Africa, Tunisia and Zimbabwe.
Poster for Tomorrow, in association with 4Tomorrow Association, is an independent, international, non-profit organization whose goal is to encourage people, both in and outside the design profession, to create posters to stimulate debate on issues that affect the global community.
For the last two years, Poster for Tomorrow has focused on a competition that has addressed the right to freedom of expression and fought for the universal abolition of the death penalty.

This is the Inner Mongolia Museum, the biggest museum in the region. Unfortunately, most of the museum wasn't labeled in English, so I can't give precise information about these artifacts.

The Weapons Storage Area (WSA) at the outskirts of Mather Air Force Base (AFB) in Rancho Cordova, California was the munitions storage facility for the United States Air Force, 320th Bombardment Wing.
This facility was built for the secure storage and maintenance of the nuclear and conventional weapons for the B-52 Stratofortress bombers, which were stationed at Mather and were always ready in case of attack by the USSR during the Cold War. The WSA was to supply these bombers with nuclear weapons in a matter of minutes.
On December 5, 1977 a breach of operational security took place at the Mather WSA, in which a reported for Atlanta based Cox Newspapers was able to gain access to the facility by posing as a fencing contractor and examine the safety and security measures in place, talk with security personnel about their roles and responsibilities in case of an attack on the facility and observe and photograph the facility, including entry controls and weapon storage areas. The reporter was also able to obtain blueprints of the WSA.
Later, a series of articles about the Air Force's lack of security were published in the Washington Star newspaper as well as the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, much to the consternation of Air Force commanders.
The WSA was controlled and guarded by the 320th Security Police Squadron from February 1, 1963 until September 30, 1989. With the fall of the Berlin Wall and the thawing of Cold War hostilities, this facility was decommissioned and abandoned.
Today, the WSA area belongs to the County of Sacramento, the bunkers are shuttered and much of the facility has been destroyed by time and vandalism.
Even with this condition, this facility still serves as a reminder of the Cold War and the readiness of our military to respond with nuclear offensive capability during those tense times.
