The crop can’t get any smaller, but who is this?

Shes the C&HR's mallet, designed by Gresley himself.

I can't find the original lore post, so heres her lore

By the 1930s, the Chester and Holyhead mainline from Holyhead to Krestaen was overloaded. The railway's faithful class 5 2-8-0s rantheir goods trains as fast as was safe, but still struggled to keep up. Longer trains were not an option, as the existing trains already filled the passing sidings with mere feet to spare. The sidings could not be expanded without digging into cliffs along the line, which would risk landslides.Another route was needed. The existing mainline crossed the water at Holyhead onto Gwylan Island at Castell Hafan, then turned Northwest, climbing though farmland, plains, and forests in the heart of the Island before reaching the mountains. From there it climbed up the Llyn Pass to the capital, Krestaen. It was the clearest and best path to the city, but the path was narrow for long stretches in many places, taken up by the river Glaw. However, another line of the C&HR already came within 20 miles of the valley that held the capital city. A line ran North from Castell Hafan along the coast to the North Western port of Llanw.A path already existed between Krestaen and Llanw, and it would take minimal work to prepare it for track. Why then had the cities not already been connected then? Diawl's Bryn. The Devil's Hill. Climbing North, Northeast from the valley, the grade wound its way between the mountains with an average grade of 1 in 45 or 2.22%, in some places reaching 1 in 35 or 2.86% for short distances. For six grueling miles, the line climbed the mountain pass, before descending the 1 in 90 grade to Llanw. From there it was mostly flat running to Castell Haffan. It wasn't the steepest grade in Wales, nor the longest, but the combination was too great for the railway's existing fleet. The C&HR turned to May Traction and Railworks for an engine that could conquer the grade. A freight engine capable of making the run from Krestaen through the pass to Castell Haffan unaided. MTRW was forced to turn away the order, as such a monster was beyond their ability to manufacture. Next the C&HR turned to their mainland neighbor, the London, Midland, and Scotland Railway. The two railways had maintained a polite if distant working relationship since grouping, the the LMS running trains on the C&HR as far as Holyhead, and the C&HR running am express to London on LMS metals The LMS sent their number 4997, a 2-6-0+0-6-2 Garratt, for trials. While the engine certainly possessed the power required, the classes Achilles heel soon made itself known. The axle box design on the garratts was prone to hotboxes above 15 mph, far below the C&HR's running speed. Nonetheless, 4997 was purchased from the LMS to serve as banker until a suitable engine could be found. Several months later, a member of the C&HR board witnessed LNER U1 No.2396 banking at the Worsborough Incline . a 2-8-0+0-8-2, the U1 was the most powerful engine in Britain up to that point, and her frames were based on the LNER O4, the class the C&HR named the Class 5. The C&HR approached the LNER and its CME, Sir Nigel Gresley with their problem. The mention of the LMS's loan of 4997, and the subsequent chance to out-perform their rival, saw the LNER board order Gresley to design an engine capable of the task. Gresley spent a week watching the trains working Diawl's Bryn, before approaching the C&HR with his proposal. Rather than a Garratt like 2396, he wanted to design a simple mallet like those used in the United States. Whether Gresley truly believed a simple articulated was better suited for the C&HR than a garratt design, or if he simply wanted the chance to design such an engine is unknown; in either case, the C&HR approved the proposal. In Autumn 1933, Gresley presented the finalized design; a massive 2-6-6-4 locomotive which he dubbed the KM1.

Beyer Peacock was contracted to build the engine, and in early 1934, the KM1 left the works. With 6 cylinders and 76,000lbs of Tractive effort, she was the most powerful locomotive in Britain. She emerged in LNER Apple Green, shining in the morning light. The C&HR board, present to witness the unveiling of the engine, held a vote, and unanimously voted to name her Behemoth. Too large to travel by rail, she was delivered by sea to the harbor at Castell Haffan. Hundreds gathered to see the beast lowered onto the metals, even cold and with her fire unlit, she was an imposing presence. Two class 5 2-8-0s pulled her to Krestaen, where her fire was lit.A pair of American turntables had been purchased and installed at Krestaen and Castall Hafan in anticipation of her arrival, allowing her to be easily turned for the run to Castell Hafan. A line of 50 slate laden wagons waited as the engine backed down for her trail run, a pair of class 5's uncoupled at the back to bank the train in case of issues with the new engine. This would prove unnecessary. Behemoth charged the grade with a whistle, as was tradition on the C&HR, she was fitted with an American hooter whistle, and the echo thundered over the hills.the train had reached 30 mph when it reached the base, and the drivers of the two 2-8-0s eased their regulators, expecting the train to slow. To their shock, the train began to pull away from them, as Behemoth accelerated up the incline. They quickly caught back up, but kept having to increase the regulator as the monster at the front surged up the rails with a will. By the crest, Behemoth had broken 50mph, and the two bankers were left behind as she began the descent. Extra guard vans had been added to serve as extra braking power, but the C&HR had entrusted the 2-6-6-4 to a veteran engineer, and she skillfully kept the train in check. Behemoth would arrive in Castell Haffan ten minutes early to the cheers of the island's railfans. An order for a second engine was placed within the week, and Behemoth was soon joined by her sister Leviathan. Her arrival allowed 4997 to be sent to Beyer Peacock for a rebuild, emerging with new axleboxes, allowing her to join the two sisters on the run. By the advent of the second world war, the three engines were beginning to strain, so a third sister, Goliath, would be delivered in 1940. After the war, the facilities of MTRW would be expanded, and the C&HR would take delivery of a new Garratt design. Despite this, the three sisters would remain in service, keeping pace with the younger engines with ease.

KM1 Modular Systems Controller (1989)

[staceymcgillicuddy]

Kinkmeme 3 draft one is complete, meaning all the kinkmeme fills have been written! I'm 40% through editing model citizen; zero discipline, which is the official title of KM1, and boy oh boy I can fit so much unresolved sexual tension in this bad boy...

Also my depression!Barbie weekend resolved when I started my period yesterday. Always a shock to feel like shit and cry all day and then realize "the hormones, boss, the hormones!" like it is a revelation EVERY MONTH. I have suffered for an IUD, I should not have to put up with this shit.

Anyway, no idea what to write now except for more Soul but the upcoming chapter is haaaaaaaard can't I just write smuuuuuut?

What happens with Beryl Thorne!

(I do not have any screenshots for this one so sorry it's just a text wall) skjahskjgs

From the [SWTOR NPC Headcanon Asks List]

Thank you for the ask, as always! <3

I still haven't 100% figured out where to slot in Risha so this stuff may be subject to adapt/change as and when I figure that out. (actually...a LOT of the smuggler crew/NPCs are kind of just stuck in the Limbo Void rn because I'm really not sure how Mer and Ziri would've met them or anything XD) BUT I have always liked Beryl Thorne and I can definitely say with confidence that Merak would have a thing for her :'3 Nothing serious because Mer isn't a man to be tied down by any sense (except for one (1) woman in the Zephyrverse AU) so its a very casual "I like you, you're fun" sort of arrangement.

I'd like to think a lot of Merak and Ziri's smuggling contracts were outsourced or provided by Beryl, and she probably ends up coming with Mer to the Alliance when its formed and working alongside them as part of Hylo's privateering team and so on.

Mer and Ziri's "ship droid" is actually an EXTREMELY OLD KM1 mining droid (I love KM1s with all my heart I had to give my smugglers one, sorrynotsorry) named Clank. And even though they're tech whizzes in their own right I'm sure there's been times where old Clank has gotten so borked Mer's had to run to Beryl for help because even Ziri couldn't fit it - plus without Aria around, he needed someone to help him source the "older" parts that would be compatible with Clank's circuits. Thanks Beryl!

Sorry hers is a bit short, she's one of the few I haven't gotten to thinking on in any sort of detail! 😅

Countering Drone Threats: A Look at Anti-Drone Weapons

Countering Drone Threats: A Look at Anti-Drone Weapons Drones have revolutionized various industries, from photography to delivery services. However, their widespread use has also raised security concerns. In response, military forces and law enforcement agencies worldwide have developed a range of anti-drone weapons to counter potential threats posed by these unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).Get more news about Anti Drone Gun,you can vist our website!

What Are Anti-Drone Weapons? Anti-drone weapons, also known as Counter Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (C-UAV) systems, are designed to either destroy or immobilize target drones. These countermeasures come in various forms:

Projectile-Based Systems: Handheld weapons similar to traditional guns. Larger artillery-scale devices. Smart missiles. High-Energy Beams: Used to disrupt or destroy drones outright. System Disruption: Interfering with the drone’s systems (e.g., GPS, remote control). Physical Capture: Capturing drones mid-flight using nets or other means. Examples of Anti-Drone Weapons: Here are some notable anti-drone weapons from around the world:

Droneshield DroneGun Tactical: Disrupts the connection between the drone and its pilot’s controls at distances of up to 2.5 km1. DragonFire Laser Weapon (U.K.): Successfully shot down several drones during field tests off the coast of Scotland using laser technology2. XM1211 30mm Proximity Round (U.S.): Developed by Northrop Grumman, this projectile-based system is effective against drones3. DroneKiller (IXI): Designed to deter and neutralize quadcopters and other unmanned systems4. Conclusion: Safeguarding Against Drone Threats As drone technology continues to evolve, so do the countermeasures aimed at protecting critical infrastructure, public safety, and privacy. Anti-drone weapons play a crucial role in maintaining security and preventing misuse of UAVs.

Infrastructure Development in India

1. National Highways and Roadways:

India has witnessed remarkable progress in its national highway network. Here are some highlights:

Budget Allocation: Since 2014, there has been a 500% increase in the road transport and highway budget allocation.

Construction Pace: In 2020-21, India achieved a record-breaking pace of 37 km/day in highway construction.

Network Expansion: The National Highway (NH) network expanded by 60%, reaching 1,46,145 km by 2023.

4-Laned NHs: The length of 4-laned NHs increased by 2.5 times, from 18,387 km in 2014 to 46,179 km1.

2. National Infrastructure Pipeline (NIP):

The Indian government launched the NIP to boost infrastructure investment. It includes projects across sectors like energy, transportation, water, and social infrastructure. The NIP aims to create jobs, enhance connectivity, and drive economic growth.

3. Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India):

The Atmanirbhar packages introduced during the pandemic focus on self-reliance and economic recovery. Measures include the Production Linked Incentive (PLI) Scheme, investment opportunities under NIP, and the National Monetisation Pipeline (NMP)2.

Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in India

India aims to attract at least US$ 100 billion annually in FDI. Despite global uncertainties, the country anticipates achieving this target for the current fiscal year. Key factors driving FDI include:

Reforms: Continued reforms and policies enhance investment attractiveness.

Corporate Tax Reduction: The reduction in corporate tax rates encourages foreign investors.

Liquidity Support: Measures to ease liquidity problems for NBFCs and banks3.

In summary, India’s relentless pursuit of infrastructure development underscores its commitment to progress, connectivity, and economic prosperity and even they have launched various government schemes to help people in healthcare, business andmany more.
