There was a bunch of stuff in my dreams last night, but I only remember one part. I was also very tired when I woke up, but couldn't go back to sleep. The part of the dream I do remember is where I was walking down some stairs. It seemed to be outside, as in stairs leading down the outside of a building, a factory maybe. I am thinking it was at the end of something, a conclusion of something. I turned around after going down a couple of the stairs and was organizing some stuff, books maybe. I couldn't get them all together or something and I think I was going to have to make a second trip to bring them all down. Within the boxes and books, I pulled out a hat and put it on. It was a U.S. Navy Officer's cover.

Today I am also thinking back to that dream I had in my last days at Microsoft. I told a friend about it. I dreamed that someone had set off two bombs and I was watching the towering clouds from the explosions rising high into the atmosphere. I was baffled at how people were going around their normal business like nothing had happened. There was one person I recognized, a guy that was on the same team as I. I didn't understand why no one was concerned.

I once wore my uniform, as a commissioned U.S. Navy officer, to a Halloween party and they all thought it was a very authentic costume. Who would have guessed in that crowd that I was really a commissioned U.S. Navy officer at the age of 12 and that I already had 6 years of service under my belt?

DONALD MACLEAN OF SPY FAME DIES

By JOHN F. BURNS, Special to the New York Times

Published: March 12, 1983

MOSCOW, March 11— Donald Maclean, the British diplomat who defected here in 1951 after betraying United States atomic secrets, was cremated here today after a brief funeral service at which he was eulogized as a ''faithful son and citizen'' of the Soviet Union.

The civil ceremony at a crematorium attached to the 16th-century Donskoy Monastery followed within hours the announcement of Mr. Maclean's death at the age of 69.

Colleagues at the Moscow institute where he had worked as an analyst of British affairs told Western reporters that he had died Sunday, apparently at the comfortable apartment near the Moscow River where he had lived alone in recent years.

An official announcement in the evening edition of Izvestia, the Government newspaper, gave no cause of death. but it was known that the former diplomat had been ill for some time, apparently with prostate trouble.

Recruited at Cambridge

The Izvestia item made no reference to Mr. Maclean's work as a spy for the Soviet Union, which began with his recruitment at Cambridge University in the 1930's and culminated in the period from 1945 to 1948 when, as a first secretary at the British Embassy in Washington, he was assigned to a liaison committee dealing with atomic secrets.

Izvestia's four-paragraph obituary spoke only of his having served ''lofty ideals of social progress and humanism, peace and international co-operation'' and of his having been ''a man of great moral qualities, a dedicated Communist and a warmhearted comrade.''

His death left only one of a trio of Cambridge-educated diplomats who defected here in the same spy scandal, H.A.R. (Kim) Philby, still alive. Guy Burgess, who served with Mr. Maclean in Washington and joined him in his hurried flight from Britain aboard a Channel ferry in 1951, died here as an alcoholic in 1963.

Mr. Philby, who escaped exposure as the ''third man'' in the affair for a dozen years before defecting, is believed to be in semiretirement from a senior counterintelligence post at the K.G.B., the Soviet intelligence and security apparatus. Philby Not at Ceremony

Mr. Philby, who lived here for some time with Mr. Maclean's wife, Melinda, after she had separated from her husband, was not among the mourners at today's ceremony.

The funeral was typical of that accorded middle-level Soviet officials, but somewhat more perfunctory than that for Mr. Burgess. On that occasion, in the same crematorium, a band played the Internationale and Mr. Maclean pronounced one of several orations. At today's ceremony, music was provided by an organist who kept his overcoat on while playing a Bach dirge, and the only oration was provided by an unidentified woman who spoke briefly in Russian, calling Mr. Maclean ''a dear and very close man'' and asking for a minute's silence.

A gathering of about 150 people, including a group of Western reporters, attended the 15-minute ceremony. Most of the others appeared to be Soviet officials and their wives, none of particularly high rank, some of whom dropped flowers on the red-and black-draped coffin at the end.

The eulogy was addressed to Mr. Maclean's ''family and friends,'' but reporters were unable to confirm that any of his close relatives were present.

An earlier memorial meeting at the Institute of World Economics and International Relations, where Mr. Maclean had worked since 1961, was closed to the reporters. It ended with the coffin being carried into the street behind a man bearing a portrait of Mr. Maclean and three others carrying his Soviet medals atop red velvet cushions.

The coffin was placed aboard an aging bus of the kind that does duty here as a hearse and was driven the short distance to the crematorium followed by three busloads of mourners. Officials declined to say where the ashes would be interred. In Mr. Burgess's case, they were returned to England for burial alongside his father in a country churchyard.

The fire in the fuel pod scene is another good representation of the conflagaration I endured on 2/22/1976.



"I am a big man in Russia." That's pretty funny. Made it easy to smoke out national traitors with something as simple as me wearing a CCCP t-shirt similar to that one the cosmonaut is wearing in that scene. A lot of times, I would not even know if it was successful. They were taking shots at me so many times back then, who knows which one caused which one.

Space Makes Ideal Venue For Peace

June 29, 1995

Remember the U.S.-Soviet "space race''? The race pitted two superpowers who hastily and wastefully competed with each other to be first, biggest and best in outer space. On the surface, it was a peaceful race. Underneath, both sides were trying to boost their capacity to spy on each other and make war.

Both nations won - and lost.

Astronauts and cosmonauts died and rockets and space capsules were destroyed because of faulty engineering as scientific judgment and quality control were sacrificed in the rush to be first.

America collected the big prize - the achievement of landing on the moon and returning men safely to the Earth. America also led in unmanned exploration, particularly the 12-year Voyager 2 mission that looped around Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, providing spectacular close-up pictures of the solar system.

But the Soviets grabbed the lead in development of a permanent manned space station, Mir (meaning "Peace''), launched in 1986, and the record for sustained existence in zero-gravity, 141/2 months for cosmonaut Valery Polykov.

Today, the space race is a dimming memory as Russian and American astronauts and cosmonauts continue space exploration marked by welcome cooperation, not unhealthy competition.

Today at 9:05 a.m., the 105-ton space shuttle Atlantis, with five Americans and two Russians aboard, is set to dock in orbit with the 123-ton Mir. After five days of experiments and a partial exchange of crews, Atlantis should return home on July 7 to complete America's 100th manned space flight.

The only other U.S.-Russian docking occurred in July 1975, when the Apollo and Soyuz space capsules met in orbit.

Seven more Atlantis-Mir dockings are planned during the next two years, letting space explorers from two nations fine-tune the hardware and the techniques needed to build an international space station starting in 1997.

Say goodbye to the space race as another unlamented Cold War relic. Say hello to a new era of international unity, cooperation and a shared commitment to true peaceful exploration of the cosmos.

Launch of HMS Dreadnought

Photograph of the launch of HMS Dreadnought at Portsmouth, 10 February 1906.

The launching of HMS Dreadnought - the brainchild of first sea lord John Fisher - ushered in a new phase in the escalating Anglo-German naval race. The giant turbine-powered battleship, which immediately rendered other battleships obsolete, was the prototype for naval warships until the Second World War.

How the Dreadnought sparked the 20th Century's first arms race

By Giles Edwards

BBC News

2 June 2014

In 1906, HMS Dreadnought was launched. Described as a deadly fighting machine, it transformed the whole idea of warfare and sparked a dangerous arms race.

On 10 February 1906 the world's media gathered in Portsmouth to watch King Edward VII launch what he and his ministers knew would be a world-beating piece of British technology.

It was both an entrancing piece of high technology and a weapon of previously unimagined destructive power. What the king unveiled that day was the Royal Navy's newest warship - HMS Dreadnought.

At the time, Britain was a nation obsessed with the Navy. The Navy was at the centre of national life - politically powerful and a major cultural force as well, with images of the jolly sailor Jack Tar used to sell everything from cigarettes to postcards. The 100th anniversary of the
Battle of Trafalgar just months earlier had served to remind anyone who doubted it of the Royal Navy's power, size and wild popularity.

So if the British public had come to expect their Navy to be world-beaters, they were delighted with Dreadnought, and eager to hear all about her.

There was plenty to hear, for Dreadnought, says John Roberts of the Museum of Naval Firepower, "really transformed naval warfare rather like the tank did on land warfare. In fact Dreadnought was described at the time as 'the most deadly fighting machine ever launched in the history of the world'".

Dreadnought brought together for the first time a series of technologies which had been developing over several years. Most important was her firepower. She was the first all big-gun battleship - with ten 12-inch guns. Each gun fired half-ton shells over 4ft tall and packed with high explosive. They weighed as much as a small car. Standing next to one today, it is easy to see how a single broadside could destroy an opponent - and do so at 10 miles' distance.

These great distances caused problems of their own - in controlling and directing the fire - and Dreadnought was one of the first ships fitted with new equipment to electrically transmit information to the gun turrets.

For potential enemies on the receiving end this was a terrifying prospect. Admiral Lord West, a former head of the Royal Navy, calls Dreadnought "a most devastating weapon of war, the most powerful thing in the world".

Potential adversaries would also have trouble outrunning her. New steam turbine engines gave her a maximum speed of about 25mph. They made her more reliable than previous ships, and able to sustain a higher speed for much longer.

But there was something else, too. Dreadnought had been built in just one year - a demonstration of British military-industrial might at a time when major battleships generally took several years to build. This, says Roberts, was an "enormous achievement which made the Germans sit up because their shipbuilding capability just could not match that".

At the time, Germany was already beginning to expand her navy, but Britain had an unassailable lead, with hundreds of ships deployed all around the world. That superiority meant that in a world where it wasn't possible to take a train to France or a flight to Spain, the Royal Navy was the bulwark of Britain's defence - and by protecting the world's trade routes the guarantor of her wealth, too.

Into this comfortable and comforting world, Dreadnought came like a bolt from the blue. On the one hand she demonstrated the Royal Navy's technical and industrial lead over the navies of new nations like Germany and the United States. But on the other, Dreadnought reset every navy almost to zero.

All previous battleships - including all of those in the Royal Navy - were now obsolescent, and would soon be known dismissively as "pre-Dreadnoughts".

Now anyone who could build enough Dreadnoughts could challenge the Royal Navy's pre-eminence. Couldn't they?

They certainly tried. The unveiling "set ablaze the big naval armament race with Germany, who was determined to keep up with us", says Roberts. "Once we'd launched Dreadnought, she had to have Dreadnoughts, and better Dreadnoughts, and as she built her Dreadnoughts we progressively had to build more, bigger, and more powerful Dreadnoughts."

Britain was soon joined by Germany, France, the US, Japan and Italy in building Dreadnoughts while Brazil and Turkey ordered theirs from British shipyards.

In Britain there was Dreadnought fever as the public clamoured for more shipbuilding and the Liberal government, caught trying to reduce naval spending, was forced on the defensive. One election meeting was disrupted by cries of "Dreadnought! Dreadnought! Dreadnought!".

"We want eight and we won't wait" was another popular cry as naval propagandists demanded that number of new ships. The result was hardly a surprise. As the Home Secretary, Winston Churchill, wryly noted: "The Admiralty had demanded six ships; the economists offered four; and we finally compromised on eight."

The reason for the fever was that the stakes for the UK were so high. Only the Royal Navy could ensure British security, and only the Royal Navy, by protecting trade routes, could ensure her prosperity.

No other major nation was so reliant on its navy for its wealth and security. Lord West describes the disparity: "For us, supremacy at sea was fundamental for our survival. For them it was just nice to have."

Ultimately Britain won the naval arms race with Germany several years before World War One, and in time Dreadnoughts were replaced by super-dreadnoughts - with even larger guns, faster engines and more armour.

Dreadnought and her successors went on to form the backbone of the Grand Fleet, described by Churchill, by then First Lord of the Admiralty as "the Crown Jewels" and at their assembly, prior to the outbreak of war as "the greatest assemblage of naval power ever witnessed in the history of the world".

Dreadnought herself was taken out of service shortly after WW1 and sold for scrap in the early 1920s. But by then she had wrought her revolution. Naval warfare had changed forever.

John Wesley Hyatt

AMERICAN INVENTOR

John Wesley Hyatt, (born Nov. 28, 1837, Starkey, N.Y., U.S.—died May 10, 1920, Short Hills, N.J.), American inventor and industrialist who discovered the process for making celluloid, the first practical artificial plastic.

As a young man, Hyatt trained as a printer in Illinois and then in Albany, N.Y. In 1863 he was attracted by a reward of $10,000 offered by a New York billiards company to anyone who could invent a satisfactory substitute for ivory billiard balls. Hyatt experimented with several compositions, none of which produced a successful billiard ball, but he was able to go into business with his brothers making one of the mixtures—a composite of wood pulp and shellac—into embossed checkers and dominoes. Continuing his experiments, Hyatt found that an attractive and practical plastic material could be made by mixing nitrocellulose (a flammable nitrate of common wood or cotton cellulose), camphor (a waxy resin obtained from Asian camphor trees), and alcohol and then pressing the mixture in a heated mold.

Hyatt and his brother Isaiah first attempted to market the plastic, which they patented in 1870 as Celluloid, as a substitute for hard rubber in denture plates. In 1872 they moved their Celluloid Manufacturing Company from Albany to Newark, N.J., where they put numerous patents to work in building up what became the premier celluloid company in the world. The Hyatts concentrated on forming celluloid into sheets, rods, and other unfinished shapes, usually leaving their fabrication into practical objects to licensed companies such as the Celluloid Brush Company, the Celluloid Waterproof Cuff and Collar Company, and the Celluloid Piano Key Company.

In the 1880s the Hyatts set up a company that employed a patented process for purifying water through the use of coagulants and filters. John Hyatt went on to invent a number of new or improved industrial devices, including roller bearings, sugarcane mills, and sewing machines.

00:59:17 It was a city of supreme beings

00:59:19 with technologies and paranormal abilities.

00:59:22 You got to be kidding me.

00:59:24 Why do you choose not to believe your own eyes?

00:59:30 The New Mexico specimen gave us hope.

00:59:33 Unlike the others we'd found, its skeleton was pure crystal.

00:59:40 A distant cousin, perhaps. Maybe they, too, were sent to find Akator.

00:59:44 Perhaps we're all searching for the same thing.

00:59:50 - There is no other explanation. - There's always another explanation.

00:59:54 The skull was stolen from Akator in the 15th century.

00:59:59 Whoever returns it...

01:00:00 Returns it to the city temple will gain control over its powers.

01:00:03 I've heard that bedtime story before.

01:00:06 It's a legend. Why do you think Akator even existed?

01:00:09 You should ask your friend that question.

01:00:11 We're certain he's been there.

01:00:15 Oxley?

01:00:30 Ox, it's me, Indy.

01:00:34 Ox?

01:00:37 Ox, you're faking it, right?

01:00:59 What have you done to him?

01:01:01 We ain't done a thing. It's the bloody skull.

01:01:03 He is the divining rod that will lead us to Akator.

01:01:06 But we need someone to interpret him for us.

01:01:09 His mind, it seems, is quite weak. Let's hope yours is stronger.

01:01:16 The skull's crystal stimulates an undeveloped part of the human brain,

01:01:21 opening a psychic channel.

01:01:23 Oxley lost control of his mind by staring too long into its eyes.

01:01:27 We believe you can get through to him after you have done the same.

01:01:32 I've got a better idea. You look at it.

01:01:35 The skull does not speak to everyone, it seems.

01:01:39 Surely you're not afraid, Dr. Jones.

01:01:42 You've spent your entire life searching for answers.

01:01:44 Think of the truth behind those eyes.

Irina Spalko: There may be hundreds of skulls at Akator. Whoever finds them will control the greatest natural force the world has ever known. Power over the mind of man.

Indiana Jones: Be careful, you might get exactly what you wish for.

Irina Spalko: I usually do. Imagine. To peer across the world and know the enemy's secrets. To place our thoughts into the minds of your leaders. Make your teachers teach the true version of history, your soldiers attack on our command. We'll be everywhere at once, more powerful than a whisper, invading your dreams, thinking your thoughts for you while you sleep. We will change you, Dr. Jones, all of you, from the inside. We will turn you into us. And the best part? You won't even know it's happening.
