The National September 11 Memorial & Museum at the World Trade Center.
Reflecting Absence.
Financial District, New York City.
The Memorial is a national tribute of remembrance and honor to the 2,983 people killed in the terror attacks of September 11, 2001 and February 26, 1993. The two memorial fountains at the memorial site sit in the spots where the two towers stood. They are each surrounded by granite borders that contain the names of all those who were killed in both terror attacks at the site. Together they make up the nation’s largest manmade waterfalls, and are at the heart of the design of the memorial, called Reflecting Absence. It was designed by Israeli-American architect Michael Arad of Handel Architects, a New York- and San Francisco-based firm.

'District Zero' tells the story of Maamun Al-Wadi, a Syrian refugee who begins a new life in Jordan’s Zaatari camp fixing mobile phones. He is one of nearly 60 million refugees and displaced person worldwide.
People from all over the camp come to his shop and through each customer they see the contents of their memory cards: their past lives in Syria (happiness, daily routine and family life) as well as the war, destruction, fear and flight.
The documentary has been presented at film festivals since September 2015.

Diet Sprite to me has always tasted horrible. It's up there with the worst diet sodas of all time. And for the record, Diet Sprite and Spite Zero is the exact.same.drink.
I figured "what the heck, I haven't had Diet Sprite since I was 11 so I'll try it again since these little bottles are only 50¢ each". It's still bad.
No, I didn't mix the rest up with some Disaronno. I was just trying to find some minatures to group the picture around. (small moleskine, small pilot G2 pen).
Origen del Nombre
En la epoca en que se estaba desarrollando el tercer prototipo del caza japones, a los modelos producidos para la aviacion naval se les asignaba los números de tipo basados en el último número del año japones corriente, y como 1940 era el año 2600 en el calendario japonés, la serie A6M fue conocida como Zero .
La Invencibilidad Japonesa
Para los Japoneses el Zero era todo lo que el Spitfire representó para la nación Britanica. Simbolizaba la conducta de la guerra de Japon. El caza Zero marcó el inicio de una nueva época en la aviación naval de guerra. Fue el primer caza basado en un portaaviones capaz de vencer a sus oponentes basados en tierra. Creó un mito, el mito de la invencibilidad japonesa en el aire. Mito bajo el cual los propios Japoneses caerían víctimas como resultado de la casi total destrucción del poder aereo aliado en los primordios de la guerra del Pacifico. En su época el Zero era el mejor caza de combate basado en portaaviones, y su aparición sobre Pearl Harbor vino como una completa sorpresa para las fuerzas americanas.
Diseño
El zero fue originalmente concebido como reemplazo del caza Mitsubishi tipo 96 (A5M), el primer monoplano de la marina japonesa. En Octubre 5 de 1937, la marina japonesa entregó sus requerimientos a las compañías Mitsubishi y Nakajima para un nuevo caza con una velocidad máxima de 310 m.p.h, la habilidad de subir a 9,840 pies en 3.5 minutos, maniorabilidad y autonomía excediendo cualquier caza existente y un armamento de dos cañones y dos ametralladoras. Estas demandas estabas por lejos en exceso de cualquier pedido solicitado a la industria aerea japonesa, y considerando estos pedidos poco realistas, la compañía Nakajima se retiró del proyecto luego después de una reunión de diseñollevada a cabo en la ciudad de Yokosuka el 17 de Enero de 1938. La Mitsubishi sola aceptó la tarea de cumplir con los requerimientos del "12-Shi" (doceavo año del reinado Showa) como era conocido el proyecto, y el trabajo de diseño inició bajo la dirección de Jiro Horikoshi, jefe de diseño de la Mitsubishi Jukogyo K.K.
El motor escogido fue el Mitsubishi MK2 Zuisei 13, un motor radial de 14 cilindros con 780 HP, mas tarde conocido dentro del sistema unificado de designacón JNAF/JAAF como el Ha.31/13. Este motor fue escogido debido a su poco peso y pequeño diámetro, y se le colocó una hélice de velocidad constante de dos aspas. Extremo cuidado se le dió al peso estructural debido a que la maniobrabilidad estaba diractamente relacionada al peso de las alas, y se hizo extensivo uso del Duraluminio Extra Super, una resistente y leve aleación desarrolada para aviones por la Sumitoma Metal Industry Company. El trabajo con el prototipo progresó rápidamente, y los cambios solicitados despues de las inspecciones del diseño 12-shi el 17 de Abril y 11 de Julio de 1938 fueron progresivamente incorporados.
Prueba del Primer Prototipo
El 16 de Marzo de 1939, en la planta Mitsubishi de Nagoya, el primer prototipo fue terminado. Pruebas del motor fueron conducidas en Marzo 18, y la aeronave fue transferida a la base aeronaval de Kasumigaura para la prueba de vuelo. Aquí, el 1ro de Abril de 1939, uno de los pilotos de prueba de la Mitsubishi, Katsuzo shima, voló el nuevo caza por la primera vez. El vuelo fue un inmediato suceso, siendo el único problema que se presentó el de los frenos de las ruedas, el sistema de aceite, y una tendencia pequeña a vibrar. Las pruebas siguientes indicaron que la vibración podía ser controlada mediante el uso de una hélice de mayor tamaño del tipo de tres aspas. El prototipo fue aceptado por la marina el 14 de Septiembre de 1939, como el Caza de Portaaviones A6M1, y mientrastanto, un segundo prototipo se había terminado, pasando las pruebas de vuelo del fabricante el 18 de Octubre de 1939, aceptándose por la marina una semana despues. Ambos prototipos A6M1 cargaban dos cañones de 20mm en las alas y dos ametralladoras de 7.7mm en la parte superior del fuselaje.
Mientras las pruebas del A6M1 continuaban, un nuevo motor pasó las pruebas de la marina, el Nakajima NK1C Sakae 12 de 925 HP, que era ligeramente mayor y mas pesado que el Zuisei. La marina decidió instalar este motor en el tercer prototipo que sería conocido como A6M2.

Ground Zero memorial just days before the 10 year anniversary. Shot from my hotel room, just a block away.
Seen at Pacific Aviation Museum, Ford Island, Pearl Harbor.
The Zero was a key element of the Japanese naval aviation of World War II. Launched from aircraft carriers such as the Akagi, the Zero could fly far and outmaneuver anything in the US arsenal.
However, the Zero's lightweight construction made it vulnerable to damage from enemy fire, and eventually US naval pilots exploited that weakness.

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats

We first encountered Two Below Zero in 2008, when Marna's mom came up to Breckenridge, CO one Thanksgiving. If memory serves, Marna found a flyer in the Breckenridge Visitor Center. We booked a trip, and have been back every year but one ever since. The sleigh rides and dinner have become part of our annual family retreat - and this year it also happened to be Marna's birthday on the night we went.
The Two Below Zero sleigh and dinner ride starts at the Frisco, CO Nordic Center, about fifteen minutes away from the lodge in Breckenridge, CO. Once all the parties arrive, pictures with the sleigh and mules get taken. From there we load up and take the 3/4 mile ride out to tents for dinner. The tents themselves have come a long ways since we started going. It has been great to see their business grow.
Dinner starts with nice warm soup, followed by chicken and steak dinner with vegetables and a baked potato, and finishes off with a slice of warm apple pie. And it's all baked right there on the premises. Along the way, musician David Peel plays entertaining songs on the center stage. Some are more for the kids, some more for the adults, and always a foot-stomping good time.
The evening finishes up with the return sleigh ride where you can pick up souvenir pictures of your family with the mules. It was a fun this year as all the others, and we look forward to the next time.
I haven't uploaded in a while, and I found this and thought I'd post it. This was a fun night. It was right before we left for New Orleans.
have a feeling this is the zero that was in the IWm,in lambeth..lovely lighting in duxford';s hall's..
Montreal is roundly blaming pedestrians for dying while jaywalking. Of course, many "accidents" happen at crosswalks* and usually involve the driver violating the pedestrian's right of way, so this campaign ("go at the right place and right time") simply cannot cut accidents to the unrealistic goal of zero. The only thing I like about this is that the provincial auto insurance company is paying for the campaign; having a universal insurance pool means that they have a big incentive to reduce systemic risks rather than to try and offload those.
Instead, the city should adopt the Vision Zero concept: "We place the main burden for safety on system design because we recognise human weaknesses and low tolerance to mechanical force. Ultimately, no one should die or suffer serious injury in traffic." This was pioneered in Sweden and is now spreading in the USA (FHWA, Minnesota, Utah).
* Nearly 1,000 pedestrians were killed in America's crosswalks in 2007-08, or 10% of all fatalities; less than 1 in 4 pedestrian fatalities were for people who were explicitly jaywalking despite there being nearby crosswalks. (T4A)
