Like a Red Arrow: Folland Gnat Flight Test
Col & Edwin - Photos by Philip Whiteman
Motoring journalist, RV builder and pilot Colin Goodwin relishes the chance to fly the Folland Gnat, former RAF trainer and first Red Arrows' mount.
When I first started as a motoring journalist decades ago there were many sleepless nights brought on by the excitement and anticipation of driving a new high- performance car. A Ferrari on Monday meant little sleep Sunday night. Today there is still a buzz, but not the debilitating sense of excitement−not least because these days there is rarely the thrill of the unknown, except for ultra high performance hybrid cars which offer a different sort of performance at a different level.
But last night, so Mrs Goodwin reported this morning, there was a lot of wriggling and movement. Perhaps in my subconscious I was trying to get into a G-suit.
I grew up knowing all about the Folland Gnat, as it entered service only three years before I did. It was of course the Red Arrows' mount before the Hawk entered service in 1979. For a budding RAF pilot in the '60s and '70s it would have been your port of call after the Jet Provost and before the Lightning, Phantom or other front-line fast jets.
I have never flown in anything like this aeroplane and my only first-hand experience of jet propulsion in such a direct sense was when I drove the Vampire jet car in which Richard Hammond made his first and most famous attempt on his own life. The acceleration was vivid and I'm expecting similar from the power to weight ratio of the 4,520 lb thrust Rolls-Royce Orpheus turbojet and the 9,520 lb MTOW (max takeoff weight) Gnat.

It's very tight in the back of the Gnat − almost claustrophobic. The whole aircraft is tiny, with a wingspan that at 24ft is a foot narrower than my RV-7's. It feels tight and I can see why my pilot Edwin Brenninkmeyer, who is 6ft 5in, is restricted to the front cockpit.
He has given me a very thorough briefing about the procedure for ejecting from the Gnat that included the advice to keep elbows in on the way out. (I learn afterwards that Brenninkmeyer was measured up before joining the team and underwent a 'seat-pull', being hoisted from the aircraft, complete with seat and equipment, effectively replicating the full ejection path from the cockpit to ensure safe ejection.)
More important instructions: I must not touch anything in the cockpit except the joystick and throttle because it is extremely easy to disable some of the front cockpit's controls, which would mean that Brenninkmeyer might end up in the horrendous situation in which he'd have to sit there helpless while Goodwin did the landing. In this instance I feel he would be well advised to eject!
We're at North Weald at the home of the Heritage Aviation Trust. Heritage Aviation is on the lookout for new trustees (more of which later) and very kindly offered this extremely excited 54-year-old a ride in a Gnat.
The front cockpit - Philip Whiteman
Edwin Brenninkmeyer instils a lot of confidence, which you need when you're being flown in a high performance machine that can easily bite the foolhardy and incautious. His briefing, a lot of which is about vacating the premises via Folland's own ejection seat (which is surprising as you'd expect the Martin-Baker route to have been cheaper and simpler for the company rather than develop its own system), is clear and precise. He reminds me of Richard Grace (of Grace Spitfire fame) who is also a master at setting the mind at rest. Like Grace, Brenninkmeyer has been flying all his life and has a CV that is most reassuring, including display flying with the Tiger Club−which for me is a pretty suitable testimonial.
If you like dressing up you'll love this world of fast jets. First of all there's the drab green RAF-issue overalls with their trademark map pockets on the knees; then a pair of heavy boots. I've always wondered why RAF pilots wear footwear that looks designed for stevedores but it's apparently to protect the feet in an ejection and for walking across inhospitable terrain afterwards. Then there's the G-suit which is actually like an inflatable pair of cowboy's chaps and, topping it off, a Top Gun-style helmet. Oh, and RAF Cape leather gloves which should never be worn when flying any Cessna or Piper.
Suited and booted, it's out to the little jet. It's so low to the ground that no ladder is needed. A foothold folds out and then it's a matter of grabbing the wing's leading edge, the cockpit surround with the other hand, and hoiking yourself up.
As previously mentioned it's tight in the back of a Gnat. I slip my feet in and thunk down into the seat on top of several painfully sharp buckles. You need help from the ground crew for what comes next. Not only does the harness have to be done up, but the G-suit's air supply must be connected and also the air supply to the mouthpiece that's part of the helmet assembly and which contains the microphone.
Helmet fitting - Philip Whiteman
Then there's more ejection seat briefing and a reminder of how to manually separate yourself from the seat if it doesn't happen automatically, which it should, and how to manually deploy the parachute if it doesn't happen automatically. Which it had bloody better do!
I am now reasonably comfortable, strapped in tight and connected to the aircraft via several tubes. The narrowness of the cockpit makes you feel part of the aircraft, being plumbed into it increases that feeling. Now for a look around the environment: between the back of Brenninkmeyer's head and me is a Perspex barrier or dummy screen and below that is the instrument panel.
It has a very military look but I wouldn't call it particularly well laid out. Many of the gauges I've never seen in any aircraft I've flown−like a Mach meter (which reads to Mach 1.2), exhaust temperature and percentage rpm. Most of the other instruments are familiar such as a VSI, altimeter, ASI and fuel contents. The latter reads up to 20 and that isn't gallons−it's two thousand pounds of Jet A1. We will use up a large chunk of it in our forty-minute or so flight.
There's another gauge on the panel that I haven't mentioned and that one gives you the position of the tailplane. The Gnat has an all-flying tail like the Piper PA-28. It's hydraulically operated (there's a pressure gauge for the hydraulic system). Edwin gave me a very thorough description of what happens when the trim system packs up but it's so complicated that I didn't really understand much of it.
Preflight checks - Philip Whiteman
Basically you have to fly the aircraft on a small trim tab−but even that isn't as straightforward as it sounds. (By chance I bumped into an ex-Gnat pilot just a few days after flying this one and the first thing he mentioned is the trimming system. "It failed on me once and I couldn't stop the thing climbing. Had to go inverted to stop it going to the moon." Right.)
You start the Gnat's Orpheus engine by compressed air supplied by a device called a Palouste. It's a gas turbine that was used to start many jets of the period, including the Buccaneer. Apart from the baby in the seat in front of me on a recent flight home from Italy, I have never come across anything so small that can make so much noise.
Brenninkmeyer gives a thorough and fascinating commentary over the intercom. He hits the igniters as compressed air spools up the engine and the engine is lit. So smooth, with a very tolerable whine that I'm sure is a lot noisier to ears outside the aircraft. Brenninkmeyer taxies slowly and carefully to North Weald's runway, paranoid about a stone or other FOD being sucked up into the Orpheus.
As chief engineer Peter Walker tells me later, it will be a lack of engines that will eventually ground the Gnats. From where I'm sitting the aircraft seems to be very manoeuvrable on the ground, helped naturally by its compact size.
Taxying - Philip Whiteman
This is it then. Lined up and ready to go and I'm beyond excited. The acceleration is far from extreme (a big-engined Extra feels faster off the mark) but is very linear and doesn't tail off. Wheels up and the bottom of Stansted's controlled airspace is 1,500ft above us.
We're heading out east towards the coast north of Felixstowe purring along at 250kt. This is our speed limit if we are not on someone's radar screen. Wattisham's radar is up the spout today so we're going to call up Southend and as soon as that's done the man in front can pour on more gravy.
This low there is a speed sensation. It's not otherworldly as we're only going about eighty knots faster than my RV's full-chat speed−for now. "You have a go," says Brenninkmeyer from the front. The throttle is on the left side of the cockpit so I'm forced to use my right hand on the stick, which is the opposite to what I'm used to.
I can't do a swap anyway because the handgrip is contoured for a right hand. Brenninkmeyer told me that the Gnat reacts quickly to control inputs, has a very fast roll rate and that gentle control inputs are the ideal. With this in mind I take a light hold of the stick. Our main concern is that at 250kt I don't spear us up into controlled airspace.
Taking off - Philip Whiteman
I'd set the altimeter before we took off but the easiest instrument to read is the VSI so I keep an eye on that to make sure I'm not putting the Lilliput jet into a climb. Actually, it's not twitchy in pitch at all−less so than the RV. And it isn't nervous in roll either, but it does gently roll a few degrees from side to side. After a few moments it's clear that the best approach is to let it self-correct rather than try and cancel it out with the ailerons.
We're in contact with Southend now which means I can nudge the throttle forward. "Try about eighty per cent," says Brenninkmeyer. Far from the delay I was expecting, the Gnat immediately surges forward and in a remarkably short time the ASI is reading 350kt. Now we really are clipping along and I suspect that there is a massive grin on my face, uncomfortable oxygen mask permitting.
With this extra airspeed the Gnat has stopped rolling from side to side and is now completely stable. We're warned of a Cessna out to our left (and he's warned 'Gnat at your nine o'clock, fast moving') but he's passed in a flash.
We're now at the coast north of Felixstowe and south of Sizewell. There's a temporary purple airway to our north so we have limited space for Brenninkmeyer to do a few aeros. He starts with a couple of twinkle rolls. You're obliged to pause between each roll in the Gnat because a string of them risks inertia coupling causing control difficuties.
Arriving back - Philip Whiteman
"It rolls quickly," he says, "so be ready." It does too−about 360 degrees per second. Not as mad as an Sbach but very brisk. My turn. Lift the nose but nowhere near the 'ankles on the horizon' that the RV requires, and bang. Beautiful!
Brenninkmeyer explains to me that the Gnat, due to its swept back wings, doesn't stall like a conventional aircraft and has a wide buffet margin. As the angle of attack increases you get a mush with a massive sink rate. A loop, as he demonstrates, is flown at the 'nibble'−the onset of buffet. We haven't got a high enough cloudbase for me to try one but the man in front does a lovely, tidy one. Anyway, if I haven't done quite a lot of aerobatics within the last few days−and I've not−I start to feel sick very quickly. And the Gnat's cockpit would be very difficult to clean...
We turn the jet back towards North Weald and again I take over. It's so smooth through the air, no vibration at all and hardly any noise. So different from being in a big piston-engined machine. In a Spitfire you have the constant hammering and vibration from the Merlin, lovely as it is, to give you the feeling that you are being punched through the air.
The Gnat's smoothness and tranquillity gives the impression that the air has given up trying to drag us back and is letting us slice our way through.
Within a very short time the North Weald circuit is on our nose. Brenninkmeyer will demonstrate the classic 'run and break' to knock our speed down to more suitable numbers for downwind and final approach. They're still big numbers. Depending on weight, the over-the-hedge speed varies between 130 and 145kt.
Those figures seem scary but in reality when our man brings us in it's a non-event. From my restricted-view perch in the back I can see that he flies us onto the runway rather than floats us onto it. We're really cracking along and I can feel that Brenninkmeyer is doing a lot of taildragger-style work with his feet to keep the Gnat straight and true. Looking at the ridiculously narrow 5ft 1in undercarriage I'd suspected that some concentration would be required. The brakes are incredibly effective and in short order we are taxying off the runway.
All of this has been an extremely undisappointing experience. So different from anything else that I've been in or taken control of. I'd imagine that flying in formation with another Gnat and then aerobatting in company with it would be the ultimate buzz. There is another Gnat in the trust, the yellow machine once owned by Pink Floyd's David Gilmour, but Brenninkmeyer's eyes really sparkle when he talks about the single-seat fighter version that they're readying for the air.
It's lighter than the trainer and should be even more exciting. You can see the gas extraction ports in the engine intakes where the original cannons were fitted.
The hero shot! - Philip Whiteman
Trustee pilots
The Heritage Aircraft Trust operates the Gnats via a limited company. The group is on the lookout for a couple more trustee-pilots. Clearly, running and maintaining the jets is hugely expensive so the numbers are big.
A new trustee has to bring with him or her £75,000 which will be put into the trust. It's not a share, so once it's handed over that's it. Then there's a monthly fee of £2,500 to cover hangarage, maintenance and all other standing costs including engineer Peter Walker, who is the most experienced (he's ex-RAF) Gnat engineer in the world, and a couple of apprentices.
Large sums of money, but as I point out to Brenninkmeyer, not so outrageous when compared to other extreme adrenaline hobbies. Running a classic Formula One car for example. A friend who does just this in historic racing reckons that a European meeting will cost him around £15,000 for the weekend and that a full rebuild for a Cosworth DFV is around £100,000.
Ex Dave Gilmour Gnat - Philip Whiteman
In that context, the cost of putting yourself into the Gnat isn't any more extreme. Each sortie costs around £1,000 in Jet A1 which wouldn't buy you a set of slicks for your old F1 car. Anyway, it's somewhat pointless talking about pound notes because most of us are not in this league and have enough trouble putting a few litres of 100LL in our machines and paying for the hangarage.
But there are others for whom cash isn't an issue and for them the Gnat will provide a thrilling experience. If there is a distant aunt who I don't know about but who is about to leave me millions, I will for sure be writing Mr Brenninkmeyer and his fellow trustees a fat cheque.
A blast in a Gnat once a fortnight would contrast nicely with flights in my Hawker Sea Fury.

My brain is totally full right now. Last Sunday morning I awoke and, sitting out on the porch listening to the birds do their morning things, two ideas for books came to me suddenly, in a massive spontaneous BAM of Muse visit and my brain has been totally full ever since. I'd been waiting for that to happen for months, pondering and pontificating, and now I'm all excited. So I've got some epic projects to wend my way through, and I am stunned by it all. That being said, I need to kick my heels up this evening and simply share some photos and tell stories about them, just to break the epic spell of paralysis that Suddenly Having Grand Ideas can have on a person – a.k.a.: Major Writer's Block!
It's been a while since I've shared my On the Way Home sightings, so we're due for some chit-chat about my ramblings and roamings.
As I shared last time, the streetcar line construction had me walking a lot. The bus was unreliable so I would walk down to Erato where the streetcar picked back up – and in the evening, when time wasn't nearly as much of a factor, it was Good Therapy to amble home, and skipping the sardine-on-a-bus experience made that therapy even better.
I was delighted to discover, last Sunday, that the line is back in full function (for the first time since we moved here), so it's back to normal for me: roll to work, roll home. No need to walk unless I simply choose to. Since we're now in the armpit of August summer, it's nice to have that option. Meandering will further ensue once Fall decides to grace us with his presence.
It was enjoyable to get to know a huge span of the area of the City in which I live. Enjoyable too, to See Things and get 'em.
Like the Green Goat. I love the Green Goat. This house is situated on a sharp bend in the street, so I truly didn't see it coming until I was right up on it. I squealed with glee and snapped a shot. Chained to the porch of a fancy house on Coliseum, this Technicolor king of the 'hood became a daily morning greeting for me. HI, GREEN GOAT! I imagine him busting out of his confines in the dead of night to romp mirthfully in the park across the street.
Meanwhile, a little bit down the same road, is the Green Gate. There was something quintessentially New Orleans about this Green Gate and its Red Umbrella. Like, if it were raining, you could smoosh yourself up against it and take some temporary shelter. Recently, I walked by there and the umbrella and its accoutrement are all gone. Did the Red Umbrella people move out? Seems like it. But the Green Gate is still there. It's astonishing how quickly things can change around here, once you become used to something.
This happens to me often: I'll turn a corner and BAM I'm no longer in my decade, or my own era. My first experience with time travel was on Prytania, at Josephine. I'd been admiring this vehicle for some time, and finally took a shot at capturing it. It wasn't until I got home, and started a little editing, that I noticed the truck, as well. And looking deeper in, realized that you just cant really peg this image as having been taken very recently, at all. There are some minor details, sure, but nothing that really jumps out and screams 2014.
That's the glory of this City. You never really know what decade you'll walk into when you turn a corner. It happened to me again, not too long ago. Again, on Prytania. I can feel the veil of time, every time I step through it. That happens a lot, to me, here.
I have a whole family of cats around here. The ones on my street, I know by name, for the most part. In the expanded reaches of my neighborhood roaming, I got to know many, many more. I greet them every morning. New Orleans has a wild crazy stray cat issue, no joke. But, for a girl who is allergic to cats, and cannot have one herself, it is kind of fun to really have All the Cats in the World.
One afternoon, J picked me up from work so I could drop something off at the Boss' house, Way Uptown. On the way back, we ended up in traffic behind Rolling Gospel herself!! I love running into my Characters, and finally finding myself in a position to snap an image of one turned a long day into a fun one. This gal gets around.
Downtown. CBD. I inhabit that area so fully because of work, that I haven't captured many images there recently. However, some work days are just long and draining enough that the only cure is to bust my creative eye out the moment I walk out those doors. One day, recently, it was just barely Not Too Hot to walk up to a streetcar stop that I very rarely use. I just felt like walking off the day, and finally stopped at a stop closer to Lee's Circle.
I immediately dubbed this the Ex-Phonebooth. You just never see phonebooths anymore, and the ones you do see are often like this one…stripped of its functionality and destined to be a bastion tomb of the days of yore, forever.
Not too long after that, when J and I were heading home from the latest Pussyfooter shindig, we paused at another stop to catch a streetcar home. I did a doubletake and momentarily believed I was falling absolutely out of my mind. So similar, like one corner layered on top of another one. I caught myself thinking, "Holy crap, did they suddenly put a phone in here?!" before understanding a split-second later that we were a block away from the Ex-Phone, on a corner with an identical shelter. One block, and you're suddenly back in the land of payphones. Kingly ones, too, per the graffiti.
I was leaning on the windowsill of the Hibernia Bank at St. Charles and Union when, "SPLAT!" a Random Eggshell landed at my feet. Being a little defensive, I immediately wondered who threw the durn thing at me, but realized that this was no Off-the-Shelf makin'-groceries sort of egg. It was smaller than a usual chicken egg, and WAY more organic in appearance. Hibernia's eaves and ledges up above are really very ideal pieces of downtown nesting real estate, and by golly, someone had just HATCHED.
What made this even better was that it was Friday afternoon, and our first pre-season Saints homegame of the year. So everyone was out and about and smiling and happy and there I was bent over awkwardly in my game-colored office attire taking pictures of an eggshell on the sidewalk. When I stood up, I nearly head-butted a guy walking down the street and I looked at his quizzical expression and simply said, "Don't Ask," and he started just LAUGHING and so did I and it was an excellent way to start a weekend. Thank you, hatching birdy.
This was today. I really like this one, and it's what inspired me, rolling home, to sit down and share the latest batch of On the Way Home photos. I was up at the Common St. stop this afternoon, having walked to Brother's to pull some cash and buy smokes to make some change so that I could feed it to the streetcar and get a change-card, which is so much easier than scrounging quarters all the time.
It's always more interesting, up at Common. I've said it before, but the closer you get to Canal St., the kookier things get. Sometimes it's an uncomfortable kind of kooky, like the pudge-bellied 20-something lad who was completely off his rocker waving a dollar bill from the direction of his shorts (his only attire) at the streetcar I eventually boarded, hollering "WOOHOOO!!!!" to anyone that looked him in his hammered cross-eyes. Sometimes it's random kooky, like the guy who got to the stop in the nick of time for our next car, who, because he recognized me as having shared a car with him before, looked up the street at the one he'd just missed and immediately and comfortably began to share with me the fact that he missed THAT car because he was too nice and cleaned up all the coffee grounds in his office kitchen that the switchboard gal forgot to handle before she ran away for the night.
You nod and smile a lot around here.
This one, though, was just a Moment. An old woman, shuffling down the street. Not the sidewalk, the street. She definitely knew where she was, and knew where she was going, and just shuffled right along. She had a dress I would kill for – it looks black here, but it was actually black with little bitty white polka dots. And I always love a gal in a hat. Oh City, My City.
What a delightful stroll you took me on. Since I can't stroll like I used to, these pictures and your keen sense in capturing and telling us about it, makes me feel like I was there. And, get onto writing some stories. Its the one thing I always wanted to do.
I'm glad I can take you along on these strolls, this way! And yes indeed. It's at the stage where these characters won't leave me alone until I write them!
These are the precious gems that make it your home, and such a wonderful place. I love seeing them!
You know what this is? This is That Box full of treasures. You know The Box. You had one when you were a kid, I'm sure, and you probably still do. The Box contains special little bits and pieces of your life, things that wouldn't mean anything at all to anyone else, but every now and again you sit with the box and run your fingers over the pieces and run the memories through your mind, and if the house ever caught fire, you'd grab the box before you ran.
That's what going through all the photos On the Way Home always feels like to me, and I love to see the city through your eyes because you really look and you don't miss the real things.
By the way, I LOVE the goat and the gate.


Kaifeng, in Henan Province, is one of eight ancient capitals in China. Qingming Water City is located at Southern-East corner of the Kaifeng city. It's positioning and design is inspired by the Qingming Shanghe Map, a historical masterpiece representing everyday life in old time China.
How to recreate the lively neighborhood with high quality natural environment based on such an ancient map? Studying the painting, we see attractions, markets, public spaces, and we find the transition between city parks and nature outside the wall. We read a spatial structure and logic of different character areas in the ancient city. We consider historical attractions and natural river in the site as key elements and opportunities. And then we started to designing: life along the river, living within the wall, and living in the nature.

Many homeowners who have a vast courtyard prefer to bring a large and attractive garden. And they can use that page to serve as a place to spend leisure time together with family. We can make an interesting place with some furniture that is also quite fun.
One of them we can use wood pallet furniture ideas at one of the places that we will use to gather. For more impressive should we put a roof on that to protect us and used furniture from the sun or rain. So the furniture can last for quite a long time.
Some wood pallet furniture ideas that we can apply to this place consists of several small chairs with a table-sized length. We can bring a simple design for all the existing furniture in this place. Without having to make application of the color combinations that are too excessive.
On each side of the long table size we can put a small chair that can hold our weight. This place is usually only used as a place to spend our leisure time. So the furniture contained in this site is not too fancy. To enhance the appeal at this point can we put some flower pots with colors that attract attention.
Table size wood pallet furniture ideas are quite unique with elongated certainly makes it difficult to put down some great equipment. It is highly recommended that we use this table only to accommodate a few cups of tea and a small plate for snacks.
It deals with functions that only a table of complementary furnishing this place. At the center of the table is usually used as a place to support the roof poles. To that end, we strongly recommended that do not easily move the small table. It will make the roof also rocked. Size is not too large to make this place can only accommodate a few people.


Tis' the season for High School Senior Portraits…. Now that all of the kids are back in school and they realize that their yearbook photo is due int eh next couple months I start to get a barrage of calls from panicking parents! And my days start to fill in with last minute bookings to have their senior captured for posterity! I love doing these photos because it's so much fun getting to work with teens about to take the next big leap into the unknown. You get to hear about their plans for the future, discuss the activities and interests that they are into right now and photograph them at a time in their life when they are young, excited and ready to take on the world! Amanda was no exception and we had a blast doing her photos! I do still have some weekday dates available before time runs out. So give me a call if you are searching for a photographer for this momentous occasion!

The American aerospace company SpaceX, founded by entrepreneur Elon Musk, December 3, launched the carrier rocket Falcon 9 with 64 small satellites that were successfully launched into orbit. Broadcast of the launch was available on the SpaceX website.
The rocket was launched at 21:34 Moscow time on a U.S. air force base Vandenberg in California. After eight minutes the first stage of the rocket landed on a floating platform in the Pacific ocean. It is noteworthy that SpaceX first used the same step more than two times. For this block fit has become the third – it was previously used for launching spacecraft in may and August of this year. It is not excluded that the company uses this level for a future Falcon 9 launches.
Satellites delivered by a SpaceX rocket into space, was displayed on a given orbit in six receptions, the last of which ended after 43 minutes after launch.
As noted by The Verge, this launch was a landmark not only for the first stage of the rocket. Such a large number of satellites in orbit at once is a record for launches from U.S. territory. The absolute record for this indicator was installed in February of last year, when the Indian rocket PSLV put into orbit the satellite 104.
The coordinator of this mission, called SSO-A, were made by the company Spaceflight Industries involved in the sale of seats in the rockets for developers and operators. As a rule, the company enables the creators of micro-satellites to bring the spacecraft into orbit as an additional load for large satellites. However, this time the customers Spaceflight Industries were able to fully load the launcher Falcon 9 for its satellites: application to the mission of the SSO-A has taken from 2015, and in total, was sent into space in the apparatus 35 companies, research organizations and educational institutions from 17 countries.
Were placed in orbit satellites and they were launched intended for different purposes. So, one of the satellites is designed to monitor the color of the oceans, which will allow you to monitor the status of water on the planet. In another companion are algae, and the creators of the device plan to study what impact they will have space environment. Finally, several satellites were created as part of art projects: Art Museum district of Los Angeles was sent to orbit the gold statue in honor of the first African American astronaut Robert Henry Lawrence, Jr., and American artist Trevor Paglen created orbital reflector – orbiting its satellite will deploy an inflatable structure with a length of about 30 meters, which will reflect sunlight.
It is assumed that the satellite Paglen can be seen in the night sky. It should be noted that a similar device this year launched the company Rocket Lab. For this it is criticized astronomers – a bright machine, which soon came down from orbit, interfere with their research.
Note also that this time, SpaceX again made an attempt to catch one of the halves of the nose fairing of the Falcon 9 with the large mesh, mounted on a special ship. As he wrote in his microblog Elon Musk, the two halves of the fairing fell into the water, but was not injured, and the company plans to use them again, which will further reduce the cost of launching the Falcon 9.


Our lack of hover boards, self-drying coats, and the fact that we're still merely driving on the ground, may bemoan several Back to Future Part II fan's as October 21, 2015 approached. If you hadn't yet heard, today is the day that Michael J. Fox's iconic character Marty McFly disembarked in a future that Hollywood envisioned almost 30 years ago. However, now that 2015 is here, it just so happens that not all the predictions were completely astray.
In the film, McFly is surprised to see an advertisement for '3D Jaws: 19'. Despite never getting quite so many Jaws sequels, 3D films do indeed exist, with many individuals even having the technology available in their own home televisions. Moreover, 3D technology in research and development has driven innovation in many different industries. For example, recently the Imperial College in London developed a 3D imagery of the human heart and medically used it to predict and possibly intercept heart disease before it even started to progress.
The tablet props in Back to the Future II parallels the reality of our miniaturization of electronic devices in recent years. Federal funding assisted in commercializing the primary technologies that now control our tablets and other mobile devices. Moreover, early touch screen research also secured assistance from the federal government through National Science Foundation grants and fellowships.
Digital topics headline the newspapers of McFly's alternative future, as they are starting to do in the present. News-processing applications use algorithms to collate data into available reports, with the Associated Press publishing over 4000 AI-generated articles every quarter. Preliminary efforts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) depended on federal funds from the Air Force and Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), who pushed AI research as a priority in the 1960's to 1990's. This push by DARPA laid the foundation for AI research through several public research universities, hence resulting in the diffusion of AI research across private and public sectors.
Back to the Future II demonstrated fingerprint recognition technology for security purposes. Today, similar technologies exist and are the idea behind the biometric security features for Apple's Touch ID and the latest Samsung Galaxy series. Post-9/11, the USA Patriot Act drove the push to research and develop more innovative methods of biometric identification.
Although we may not be commuting to work on hover boards just yet or dining on dehydrated pizza (fortunately), Back to Future II presented a technologically stimulating view of the future. However, if we want to observe more cutting-edge innovations like these in the future, it is vital for companies and the government to continue to invest in research and development.

A Massive Movement With a Global Impact
Global Give Back Day
The second annual Global Give Back Day was a massive success! We called on leaders all around the world to take part in one collective effort to share gratitude, and START members led the way in local communities.
"The Isagenix family of employees and Customers is constantly looking for ways to give back and make an impact," added Erik Coover, Isagenix owner and senior vice president of global field development. "While we strive to make a positive impact on the world every day, we created Global Give Back Day to focus on the community and our earth in an amazing way all in one day, across the world."
Together as One Team, we accomplished so much!
Global Give Back Day Efforts by Country
START members from across the nation joined together to participate in a variety of incredible initiatives, including blood drives and park cleanups to reading to children, visiting local shelters, hosting garage sales and providing the donations to organizations, and packing meals for countless families, both in and outside of the country.
Members in Canada preserved the beauty of their country by participating in trash pickups and park cleanups. Plus, Isagenix Customers partnered with Habitat For Humanity for a construction project to contribute to their community.
Taiwan & Hong Kong
Isagenix staff members alongside local Isagenix Customers in Hong Kong and Taiwan hosted a charity walk in which all proceeds raised through the sign-up fees were donated to Make-A-Wish®. Taiwan made a special effort to invite the local Make-A-Wish office manager to educate the volunteers on how people can help make a child's wish come true. They concluded the event by packing small gifts of Isagenix product samples and a blessing card to give the wish kids.
Isagenix Customers and corporate staff in Singapore partnered with an organization called "Willing Hearts," as they gave back by packing meals for the less fortunate in their community. Others hosted a Zumba workout in which all proceeds benefited Make-A-Wish.
Malaysia & Indonesia
In Malaysia and Indonesia, the corporate staff worked alongside Isagenix Customers to donate food and toiletries to local orphanages. Members in Indonesia also visited a local orphanage that houses elementary to high school-aged girls and enjoyed the opportunity to color, paper quill, and cook with them.
Activities spanned across the both countries and included efforts such as collecting goods to be donated to local shelters, beach cleanups, and visiting organizations in the community to interact with and provide service to people in need.
Associates and Isagenix staff supported Global Give Back Day by planting trees at a nearby park, while others made similar efforts in multiple areas throughout the country.
Office staff and Isagenix Customers served in different parts of Colombia including Villeta, Cali, and Barrancabermeja. Initiatives included providing toys, food, and clothing to a foundation that supports both young mothers and children with Down syndrome, playing with young children, preparing breakfast for the elderly, planting trees, and providing musical entertainment for those at a community shelter.
Contribution Is Contagious!
We are spreading the word to celebrate your collective work in making the world a better place to inspire the spirit of giving back!
Don't miss the next corporate-hosted Give Back event by checking out the "Contribution" page at STARTYourLife.com. This is where you can also sign up for the Celebration 2017 Give Back event. We'll be returning to Three Square in Las Vegas because it was such a blast! Be sure to join us.

Q: Processing create DXF from inside Eclipse this works in processing and it's IDE of version 2.2. Moved that to Eclipse and the drawing part works
import processing.core.*;

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
    boolean record = false;
    QuadWith2EarsAttached[] tp = new QuadWith2EarsAttached[1];

    public void setup() {
        size(Settings.WINDOW_X, Settings.WINDOW_Y);
        // lights(); lights() is not available with this renderer.
        background(200);
        noFill();
        stroke(0);
        tp[0] = new QuadWith2EarsAttached(this);
    }

    public void draw() {

        if (record == true) {
            beginRaw(DXF,"CameraPart.dxf"); // Start recording to the file
        }

            record = true;
            println("DXF Done");
        }
    }
}

but when I run it in Eclipse I get this error when "r" is pressed
DXF Done
beginRaw() is not available with this renderer.
endRaw() is not available with this renderer.

What is the right way to create an dxf from the graphic created in processing ?

A: strangely since I have uncommented
import processing.dxf.*;

it simply works. Not sure why but it does the job

I did not kill Ivy Wangeci, Naftali Kinuthia tells court
Amazing Kenyans Tuesday, April 30, 2019 Crime, Kenya, News
Naftali Kinuthia, the sole suspect in the gruesome killing of Moi University student Ivy Wangeci, has been charged with murder.
However, appearing before Eldoret High Court judge Stephen Githinji, the accused denied the charge of killing the medical student.
READ ALSO: EX-GOVERNOR KIDERO RELEASED ON KSH.8M CASH BAIL IN KSH.68M GRAFT CASE
He was allowed to take plea after the prosecution told the court that a mental assessment conducted on him had confirmed he was fit to stand trial.
Kinuthia, through his lawyer Mbiu Kamau, urged the court to release him on bond arguing that he would not interfere with the case or abscond court. The judge, however, declined to release him on bond or bail.
The judge also rejected an application for the release of the vehicle used by the suspect, noting that the car part of the evidence in the case.
A request by the family of the late Wangeci, through their lawyer Violet Nyakima, for the case to be heard in Nairobi was also rejected by the court on grounds that the incident happened in Eldoret and most witnesses are within the area.
The mention of the case will be on May 9, 2019 and the hearing on May 10, 2019.
Kinuthia is accused of hacking Ivy Wangeci with an axe on April 9 outside the Moi Teaching and Referral Hospital in a case of unrequited love.
The deceased student was laid to rest on April 18 at the family's rural home in Mahiga, Nyeri County.

'It's Just Not Right': Peoria Veterans React To Afghanistan Chaos, End Of 20-Year-War
WCBU | By Hannah Alani
Published August 16, 2021 at 6:32 PM CDT
Hannah Alani
Peoria native Tom Skaggs served in the United States Marine Corps from 1955-1959.
Amid the Taliban's recapturing of Kabul, President Joe Biden addressed the nation, doubling down on how his administration ended the United States' 20-year war in Afghanistan.
Twitter buzzed. Push notifications lit up phone screens. TV pundits yelled.
Inside the Navy Marine Club in Peoria Heights, however, it was a quiet Monday afternoon.
A television played the Game Show Network's "Family Feud." Ed Sheeren's face flashed on a silent Touch Tunes jukebox. Navy veteran Gene Cox sipped a Coors Light. Former U.S. Marine Tom Skaggs rested his arm on the bar.
For Skaggs, a Peoria native who served during the Cold War in the late 1950s, it didn't matter what Biden had to say. The president "made a mess," Skaggs said, and history was repeating itself.
"I don't know what the answer is. But I don't think he went about it the right way," he said. "The ones that helped us over there (were) left to be butchered. … It's just not right."
A few blocks away in Peoria Heights, a larger crowd of veterans packed the bar at Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 2602. Televisions weren't tuned to news channels there, either. "Too painful," one veteran said.
Peoria veterans Tom Skaggs (left) and Gene Cox inside the Navy Marine Club in Peoria Heights on Monday, August 16, 2021.
Skaggs said it was difficult to think about the Taliban regaining control in Afghanistan so close to the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The money spent over two decades in Afghanistan, he said, would have been better spent taking care of veterans of previous wars, many of whom are suffering from PTSD and illnesses related to their time in service.
"Twenty years over there in Afghanistan. ... What'd we get? Nothing," he said. "We're not taking care of our veterans here at home. And we're spending billions over there. You got all these guys coming home maimed and busted up. They're not getting the care they should. It's not right."
An Iowa native, Cox enlisted in the Navy in 1960. He said he feared the Taliban would retaliate with terror attacks against the U.S. He felt for Afghani women and children.
"I do feel sorry for the people over there," he said. "I'm sorry we can't help them. … You have to end it some time, I guess. … I'm just sorry we couldn't help."
Gene Cox served in the United States Navy from 1960-1964. He was aboard the USS Iwo Jima as it entered the Panama Canal during the Cuban Missile Crisis.
He and Skaggs agreed there are parallels between the ways in which the U.S. left Vietnam and Afghanistan. Cox's two younger brothers were drafted to serve in Vietnam and both returned home with Purple Hearts and medals of honor.
The younger of the two brothers, however, died at the age of 74 last year. Cox said he suspected his brother's death was related to Agent Orange exposure.
Cox and Skaggs said they wished Americans had more respect for those in the armed services — or were at least willing to understand the experience of serving first hand. They said they'd support compulsory military service for young people, like what is done in Israel and South Korea. Then, they said, history might not be as likely to repeat itself.

I'm thrilled that Laurie of The Crochet Liberation Front featured me in today's newsletter. If you're not a member over there and love all things crochet, do check them out. I've been a member of the CLF since close to the beginning and have never regretted it. I'm also a proud Indie Pro Plus member and cannot recommend it enough. There are exciting things happening there and on Hookey.org, the place where we go to play.
The answer is simple and blunt. No one is perfect.
While I can't answer as the end all be all of the tech editing world, I can tell you what I do and why I think it's important for every designer.
1. I check to make sure that if you abbreviate a stitch one way in your abbreviations list, you abbreviate it that way all the way through your pattern. In other words, consistency.
2. I check to make sure that you've explained the stitches you need to explain. If you are using a special stitch, it's explained in the beginning and that abbreviation is used throughout.
3. I check to make sure you have all the materials listed. This can be something as simple as listing that the crocheter will need stitch markers to complete the pattern.
4. I check all that pesky punctuation. As we all know, punctuation is very important in pattern instructions.
5. I check to make sure your repeats actually work out.
6. I check to see that someone who didn't design the pattern can actually make the pattern. I was a designer, I know how easy it is to go off of what you have in your head and forget to put something important in the pattern.
7. I make sure the pattern is easy to read and understand.
8. I make sure the pattern lines up with your style sheet. And if you don't have a style sheet yet, I help you come up with one. This goes a long way for branding.
9. I ask the questions a crocheter might ask, so you can take care of it in the pattern rather than waiting for the customer service questions.
10. I give you peace of mind that your pattern can be made successfully by others.
Now, I know what you might be thinking. "But Tracie, tech editors are expensive, and I am a one person show here, without a lot of spare money." I get that. I do. I was the same way. So, I'll say this. My rates are pretty reasonable. And well written patterns don't take me as long to tech edit. If you do the work ahead of time to make sure your pattern is the best it can be, then you're likely only paying me for my hour minimum to double check everything. I will be posting more soon on what you can do to help your tech editor (whether that's me or someone else).
So, I'll close this short blog post with this. If you are a designer and interested in having your patterns tech edited, use the Contact form found here and let's talk. I always do an estimate prior to starting work, so you know a ballpark figure. If I think I'll go over, I let you know before doing so. I understand the plight of the independent designer. But let's talk.

I'm hearing people on both sides of the political spectrum threatening to leave the U.S., if their nemesis candidate wins. Thought I'd give you some facts to prepare you for your move.
Canadians have The Queen on their money. Americans like The Queen. And her corgis. And whatnot.
Their Super Cute Prime Minister welcomes refugees from all over the world. He might even help you on with your jacket. It's probably a good idea, though if you bring your own.
You can call them on their cell phone, but don't ask them to teach you to dance. This is NOT a good look. Not even in Canada.
The U.S./Canadian border is the longest border in the world. And the Canadians don't even protect it. It'd probably be very easy for you to cross. The Mounties are more for show. They do look good, though, don't they?
Even the sexiest man alive displays the modesty of his homeland. Those Canadians are just so darned nice, dagnabit.
Canada has no weapons of mass destruction. Well, that is if you don't count Deadpool.
Canadians are very cultured. Even hockey players can break into a broadway tune!
Hope this helps you through your angst. As an alternative, you can just figure out how to make your own country into the one you want. Like VOTE!
Vote in local and state elections. Vote for school board. Vote for city council. Vote for your state representatives, state senators, elected judges and attorneys general, and governor.
Vote for your federal officials. It counts.
A special note for Millennials. You now outnumber the old Baby Boomers. They are in charge, though, because they vote and you don't. So VOTE!
You don't want to have to learn the words to a new national anthem–in FRENCH! Think about it. And poutine is weird.

Q: Where do I call my custom controller method in code igniter when session expires automatically? I am using CI version 3.1.7.
I am elaborating my requirement below:
I want to execute the query and update the field value of the database when the CodeIgniter session expires.
right now my application is redirecting to the login page when the session expires which is correct but I just want to place one update query before it redirects when the session time is over.
I am using the file as a session driver.
I have written a custom class in the application/core folder which is overriding the sess_destroy() method of session library. but it seems to be not working
<?php
defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');
class MY_Session extends CI_Session
{
    public function __construct() {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->load->library('session');
    }
    function sess_destroy() {
        //My update queries will go here

        //call the parent
        parent::sess_destroy();
    }
}

Please help me to get rid of this.

A: You can manage session expiration in the constructor of each controller or you can create a Base custom control which extends CI_Controller class. In that base controller you can use your "MY_Session" as a library.
With this approach for every request base class constructor will check for session and if it fails you can override the actions that you want to perform.
