PS Neither the egg fic nor the vegan freak have anything to do with M/gastar before you try it. That's all pure Starscream stanning, baby. And one of them is St/rop, the supposedly ""good""" ship LOL.

Starreader the NightWing hated the casual cruelty and arrogance of her people, and fled the island as soon as she was able. She journeyed for a time, looking for a home, until she settled in a beautiful and seemingly uninhabited mountain range. She intended to live out her days as a hermit of sorts; hunting fresh meat when she was hungry, drinking from rivers chilled with snow runoff, and reading the stories told by the ancient stars. However, every night the mountains rang with the clangorous racket of a hammer on mental, denying her any peace. Furious, she sought out the noise, and discovered a single Skywing male - Hammerfall, the blacksmith. He apologised for the noise, saying he thought he was alone. These mountains, he explained, contained old, stubborn iron that forged into weapons, armour, and trinkets that warded against magic. He toured her around his cave-home, full of gold and treasure sold for his craft. The two reached an understanding, and over time, a friendship, and then love. Thus, Azimuth was born. Starreader carefully bathed his egg in moonlight every night, kept in a nest of old coals from his father's forge to keep warm. He hatched under a full moon, and has mild prophetic powers. These manifest in knowing the true nature of things he touches; for example, if given a jewel he knows if it is a diamond or cleverly-cut glass, just by touch. This knowing is not intrusive as other NightWing powers can be; he simply knows the information the same as any other. I'm feeling warm. The sky is blue. Slate is smooth. This tree is 106 years old. (His powers extend to creatures including dragons, but not to their thoughts or feelings. He could touch a dragon and know them to be a Seawing, know their age or gender, but he could not know what they're thinking. He also cannot see the future or past.) Azimuth helps his father with his smithing, as he can easily tell the purity of metals and the authenticity of jewels. Often he journeys away from their mountain home to bring back goods for his parents.

Becker & Mukai - Time Very Near - a genre stew from two multi-instrumentalists (SaS Recordings)

Parisian cinema composer Jean-Gabriel Becker is best known for idiosyncratic soundscapes, whilst Susumu Mukai is a world-renowned Japanese composer and multi- instrumentalist. Together they’ve created fresh new music that floats effortlessly above traditional genre delineation, with a dubbed-out and experimental melange of modern acid house, post punk, global grooves and clattering beats. Still not complying to genres, ‘Time Very Near’ is their tentacular new album, which gathers sounds and inspiration from an ever-expanding palette of influences, assembled into something amorphously intangible that’s simultaneously refreshing and sharp, meandering and cosmic, futuristic but timelessly vintage. All tracks written and produced by Jean-Gabriel Becker and Susumu Mukai. Jean-Gabriel Becker: synthesisers and machines, guitar, percussion. Susumu Mukai: synthesisers and machines, bass, percussion, drums. Kenichi Iwasa: trumpet on ‘Tout Azimuth’ and ‘The Double’ Olly Betts: drums on ‘Time Very Near’ Illustration by Susumu Mukai, sleeve design by Becker & Mukai Gear used: Boss Dr Rhythm DR-110, Roland TR707, Roland TR808, Korg KPR77, Kawai R100, Roland TR606, Roland Juno 60, Roland Juno 106, ARP Odyssey, Casio CZ3000, Ensoniq ESQ1, Yamaha CS-5, Crumar Bit-One, Eventide Harmonizer, Yamaha DX7, Mutron Biphase, Yamaha REX50 multi-effects, Fender Stratocaster Japan 1987, Epiphone Newport Bass 1965, Hofner bass 1961, Fender Telecaster 1975, Fender Jazz Bass 2010 and more.

U.S. Marines expects full operational capability for ATWS by end of 2019

The U.S. Marine Corps has reported that full operational capability for the upgraded Anti-Tank Weapon Systems (ATWS) is expected at the end of the fiscal year 2019.

According to a statement, the U.S. Marine Corps continues to upgrade the turret system for one of its longest-serving fighting vehicles – the Light Armored Vehicle-Anti-Tank or also called LAV-AT.

In September 2017, Marine Corps Systems Command’s LAV-AT Modernization Program Team achieved initial operational capability by completing the fielding of its first four Anti-Tank Light Armored Vehicles with the upgraded Anti-Tank Weapon Systems to Light Armored Reconnaissance Battalion Marines.

The ATWS fires the tube-launched, optically-tracked, wire-guided—or TOW—missiles. It provides long-range stand-off anti-armor fire support to maneuvering Light Armored Reconnaissance companies and platoons. The ATWS also provides an observational capability in all climates, as well as other environments of limited visibility, thanks to an improved thermal sight system that is similar to the Light Armored Vehicle 25mm variant fielded in 2007.

“Marines using the new ATWS are immediately noticing the changes, including a new far target location capability, a commander/gunner video sight display, a relocated gunner’s station, and an electric elevation and azimuth drive system, which replaced the previous noisy hydraulic system,” said Steve Myers, LAV program manager.

The ATWS also possesses a built-in test capability, allowing the operators and maintainers to conduct an automated basic systems check of the ATWS, he said.

The LAV-ATM Team continues to provide new equipment training to units receiving the ATWS upgrade, with the final two training evolutions scheduled for early this year. Training consists of a 10-day evolution with three days devoted to the operator and seven days devoted to maintaining the weapon system. Follow-on training can be conducted by the unit using the embedded training mode within the ATWS.

“This vehicle equips anti-tank gunner Marines with a modern capability that helps them maintain readiness and lethality to complete their mission,” said Maj. Christopher Dell, LAV Operations officer.

“Currently, there are 58 in service within the active fleet,” said Myers. “The original equipment manufacturer delivered 91 of the 106 contracted kits and is ahead of schedule. Now MCSC’s focus is directed at the Marine Corps Forces Reserve, ensuring they receive the same quality NET and support as their active counterparts.”

Letting Nature Pamper Me with Snapshots of Big Bend National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking along the trails of the Sam Nail Ranch with a view looking to the west to the Chisos Mountains. My thinking in compositing this image was to use the nearby desert plant-life and have that create a layered look to Ward Mountain off in the distance. Blue skies and sunshine above would be that color contrast to compliment the earth-tones in the lower portion of the image. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 5. I then exported a TIFF image to Nik Color Efex Pro 4 where I added a Polarization, Foliage and Pro Contrast filter for that last effect on the image captured.
