You wanted to know why.





Why should Her Majesty The Queen have to tell you anything before you believe it?

Can you people not read?

Are you so simple minded that only the unquestionable authority of Her Majesty makes you believe the facts?

Her Majesty The Queen could tell you today that I am her grandson and then you would believe.

What is the point to that?

Are you all so simple minded that you have to be told by someone else what to think?

The Duke of Edinburgh writes for New Scientist, 28 February 2015

The Duke of Edinburgh has written an opinion piece for New Scientist, in advance of the announcement of the winner of the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering on 3 February. Entitled "Make Things Better," The Duke's article recognises the contribution which engineers make to our everyday lives. His Royal Highness wrote the article following a suggestion by Lord Browne of Madingley, who chairs the board of trustees for the Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering. The text from The Duke's article is below.

"Make Things Better" written by HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, New Scientist, 28 February 2015

IF YOU look around you, everything you see that isn’t part of the natural world was the vision of an engineer or an architect. Every power station, every road, every railway, every bridge, every mobile phone, every airliner, every piece of equipment and every sewage works owes its existence to an engineer.

Great engineers have a passion to improve life; a burning conviction that they can make life better for everyone. Engineers need to have a talent for invention and innovation, but what drives them is the conviction that they can find a better way to do things; a cheaper and more efficient solution to the problems of human existence on this planet of limited resources that we call Earth.

Many of us spend a lot of time complaining about the difficulties and problems of life. It is easy to find fault with things that make daily life arduous. For an engineer, these difficulties can be opportunities. How can this be made to work better? How can that process be made more
efficient? How can components be made more cheaply, more accurately and more fit-for-purpose? Great engineers are convinced that everything can be improved. Instead of complaining, they think of ways to make things better.

In addition to ambition, those who aspire to change the world for the better also need to acquire the skills and knowledge that previous generations have bequeathed to the art and science of engineering.

Many people take to engineering because they discover that they already have technical skills; they can make things with great precision. Others discover that they can put ideas on paper or computer screens. This is frequently all it takes to start them thinking about how they can use these talents to do something original, or to devise a way of doing something better. They may have to go through years of struggle and disappointment, but this seldom diverts them from their vision and ambition to innovate.

Engineering is not just a profession to be learned and practised as a way of making a living. It is one of the few ways in which human talent can be given the chance to improve, and frequently to transform, the comfort and prosperity of the human community. In fact, engineering has made a greater positive difference to human life than almost any other human endeavour.

The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering is intended to recognise those particular feats of engineering that have made a significant impact on human existence. The winners are an example of what can be achieved, but it must not be forgotten that they were supported and enabled by countless other specialist engineers, from this time and throughout the past.

It is obviously not possible to name every one of them, but they will all appreciate that they have played their parts, and that, I hope, will give them
the satisfaction of knowing that they have created a very significant contribution to the human lot.










From 6/5/1964 ( the manned deep-ocean research submersible Alvin enters active service with the United States Navy ) To 2/28/2015 is 18530 days

18530 = 9265 + 9265

I walked down to a lake, but the lake was fenced off. There was a chain link fence surrounding the lake and I could only look at it. The lake looked familar, Greason maybe, but I also recognized some CDA features. Some other stuff happened around the lake I can't quite remember. There were a few people there I didn't know, the people I think of as familiar strangers, they look like they know me but I don't know them. At another point in a dream, I am supposed to be moving out of some apartment, there were similar features to here but I was in a real apartment. A person who worked for the place I lived went into my apartment and then started talking to me out in the hallway. I can't remember all the details, but I remember he said something about it taking 15 minutes to move somebody in our something, I think he also asked where I was going to go, and I didn't have any idea. I remember also thinking about what I was going to do with all the furniture but I didn't know. The last of the dream I remember is in here, I was in my cubicle and Lynn walked by and told me to pack up, I guess she was taking me somewhere.

And I think back to that time.....it's like I've been on autopilot all these years. That seems like yesterday. There's a lot of stuff I've done over these past 15 years or so to try to improve my lot in life, but when I really look back to that time, it almost feels like there is a blank spot to it, I can't yet describe it like I want to.
