"The first practical design of a submarine-based launch platform was developed by the Germans near the end of World War II involving a launch tube which contained a V-2 ballistic missile variant and was towed behind a submarine, known by the code-name Prüfstand XII. The war ended before it could be tested, but the engineers who had worked on it went on to work for the United States and for the Soviet Union on their SLBM programs. These and other early SLBM systems required vessels to be surfaced when they fired missiles, but launch systems eventually were adapted to allow underwater launching in the 1950-1960s. A converted Project 611 (Zulu-IV class) submarine launched the world's first SLBM, an R-11FM (SS-N-1 Scud-A, naval variant of the SS-1 Scud) on 16 September 1955.[1] Five additional Project V611 and AV611 (Zulu-V class) Submarines became the world's first operational ballistic missile submarines (SSBs) with two R-11FM missiles each, entering service in 1956–57

A re-post from a fond past - image is a reflection in a store window

I made a friend today. We acted garish, strange and gay. What was on our minds, so foolishly sublime? I can't tell you! What I do know is is this: I want to share those feelings grand again. Invite my soul, sins and all. Let's make company no need to call. We'll jiggle, juggle, giggle and cry, Share stories, lips and lies. And always be friends as the crow flies. St,. Petersburg Florida 1999.   The word gay in this poem uses the traditional meaning of happy.

President Trump  Credit  Samuel Corum for The New York Times  photo edited "We need someone who could stand up, look the president in the eye and say: “Enough, sir. We’ve had enough of your indecency. We’ve had enough of your lies, your bullying, your cruelty, enough of your insults, your daily drama, your incitement, enough of the danger you place this country in every single day. We don’t want any of this anymore, and the country certainly can’t stand four more years of it.”" When we stop objecting to the outrage of political power then we become the consequence of that agenda.  I am an American and do not align my self with the values of those who would profit for profit's sake.  Source  nytimes.com   By Joe Walsh   Mr. Walsh is a former Republican member of Congress from Illinois.

When I was a child a toy like the one in this movie would have been the stuff of science fiction.  In the hands of someone with curisosity this little drone will give a new view to the world we live in.

Vladimir Putin is encouraging Russian citizens to drive motorbikes instead of cars and thus reduce the effect of US Oil Sanctions.   Of course this is not a fact, but the real story can be found here .  Leaders of countries will do anything to remain at the center of world attention.  Why don't they spend their energy solving social and economic problems rather than drawing attention to themselves?  This proposition is very difficult for autocrats who do not tolerate any kind of opposition.  Source  https://news.yahoo.com

"Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló has announced that he will leave his office on Aug. 2. This brings an end to a political stand-off with tens of thousands of Puerto Rican protesters who demanded he leave after sexist, homophobic and offensive text messages that he exchanged with his inner circle were made public." Other countries appear as other worlds that are hard to comprehend.  Social media helps others in other places to feel the need to empathize and relate in more than a pitiful way.  This podcast will help in understanding the plight of the Puertorican people.
