The Market Coalition

If your enemy knows you are using stealth and their radars will not work on that. They may choose other options such as cell tower frequency circle disruptions or other such techniques. They may also choose to use some sort of heat signature device. But there might be a way to fool such a system and get your enemy to launch on a phantom decoy heat signature using two lasers from two different points.

Consider Chemical Lasers that are airborne and very high-energy. Well if you take an Argon laser and a CO2 Laser and you point them at each others path they will combine and the collision of all those molecules will cause a secondary reaction and if the heat is ramped up sufficiently it will cause an anomaly in your enemies defense sensor system.

Once the enemy launches surface-to-air-missiles at the anomaly, we simply pin-point location, in a split second and redirect the lasers using a BLOS reflector staged on a stealth blimp and take out that new target. If we do this is quick succession, then the enemies aerial defense strategy and all their hard ware is toast before the real war even begins.

Is this technology even available yet? Indeed it is and the United States of America has it and it is ready to rip. Not only could this strategy work, but just having it makes the enemy hesitate because they have no idea if the signature on the radar is mass deception, fast moving incoming missile or stealth to deliver ordinance or merely a mirage decoy in the sky? Either way, all they can do is worry, wait or kiss their asses goodbye. See Ya! Game over insert more quarters; Consider all this in 2006.

If you are still unsure about getting the correct exposure, there is a cheap but very effective device called an 18% grey card that can limit your frustration, if used correctly.

When light falls upon a certain object; if the object is too dark your camera or meter will automatically give you an over-exposed reading. This also happens when we take a reading from something that is too

bright - the meter gives us an under-exposed reading.

We need to find a mid-tone object for our meters to read the proper exposure.

Sometimes if we are taking pictures in a high contract scene a mid-tone object is impossible to find. 18 % grey is the mid-tone between pure white and pure black.

An 18% grey card will record the exact light that will touch any object. Start by placing the grey card where you are going to take your reading, point your camera or light meter at the grey card - your meter should read the exact light that falls upon the card.

These cards can be used for all types of photography. If you are taking a portrait place the grey card beside the subjects’ face. This will give you an exact reading and help to capture perfect skin tones.

We don’t need to understand the full science of how this works, but knowing a little doesn’t hurt. All light-meters are calibrated to produce an exposure of 18% The grey card reflects the exact same reading.

This card only costs a few Euro, and most decent camera stores should sell them. The 18% grey card should become an important part of your equipment. The grey card can be used if you shoot with digital or film cameras, and whether you use black and white or colour film.

In the Mountains of Haiti

(In the City)

July is a hot monthsweating
Poverty out on every street
(In Port de Prince); mixing

Memory with desire causes stirring.
Not much rain in Haiti (in 1986);
Summer kept us busy, building
A medical clinic, in the mountains….

(In the Mountains)

A new life, for the dried-up village.
With only a shower of sun-beams
(Resting) coming over my shoulders

I stopped work to rest;
The others (young) kept working in the sun,
They all got sickbed-ridden.
And my teammates became frightened.

(Night comes)

A heap of fragmented images
Where the sun-beams used to beat
(And the dried up foliage gave no shelter)

Gave-way, to the sounds of crickets
And night’s voodoo drums.
Shadows from rocksextended out
Seemed to shout, shouttalk!…

(Night Noises)

I never knew what they were thinking
Somehow, they seem to speak to me now.
Footsteps; fires crackling; voices chanting:

By bushes, tress, and hutsall about;
All nightly noises that never stopped
No wind under the doornothing;
You see, know nothingonly hear

(…you are alive).

Note [#777; 7/27/05]: The author spent some time in Port de Prince, Haiti, at an Orphanage doing some work with the children; helped put on a puppet show; as well as the author spending some time in the mountains of Haiti, doing some work on building a medical clinic with a team from his church for a village that had no medical means; 19-students; he was the elder you could say, or one of the two; back in 1986.

In Spanish

En las montaas de Hait

(En la ciudad)

Julio es un mes caluroso-hmedo
La pobreza afuera en cada calle
(En el puerto de Prncipe); mezclando
La memoria con el deseo causando emocin.
No llova mucho en Hait (en 1986)
El verano nos mantuvo ocupados, construyendo
Una clnica medica, en las montaas….

(En las montaas)

-una nueva vida, por la desértica villa.
Con solamente una ducha rayos de sol
(Descansar) que viene sobre mis hombros
Paré el trabajo para descansar un rato-;
Los dems (jvenes) se mantenan trabajando en el sol,
Todos ellos consiguieron enfermarse postrados en cama.
Y mis compaeros de equipo llegaron a estar asustados.

(La noche viene)

Un montn de imgenes fragmentadas
Donde los rayos del sol-solan golpear
(Todo el follaje seco no consigui dar refugio)
Dando paso, al sonido de los grillos
Y los tambores voodoo nocturnos
Las sombras de las rocas, extendidas.
Parecan gritar gritar, conversando con gritos!…

(Ruidos nocturnos)

Yo nunca supe lo que ellos estaban pensando
De algn modo, ellos parecan hablarme ahora.
Pasos; crujido de fuegos, voces cantando:
Por arbustos, y chozas, - todo cerca:
Todos los sonidos nocturnos que jams pararon-
Sin viento debajo de la puerta- nada;
T ves, no sabes nada- solo oyes
(Tu estas vivo).

Nota (#777; 7/27/05):El autor pas algn tiempo en Puerto Prncipe, Hait, en un orfanato haciendo algn trabajo con los nios; ayudndoles a poner un teatro de tteres; As como el autor paso algn tiempo en las montaas de Hait, haciendo algn trabajo en el edificio de una clnica medica con un grupo de su iglesia para la villa que no tena ningn medio medico; 19 estudiantes; el era el mayor Ud. podra decir, o uno de los dos; atrs en 1986.
