The World War Two Siege of Malta took place from 1940 to 1942. This tiny island’s prime location meant it was in the spotlight for the war on the Mediterranean. Malta certainly got the raw deal during the war from start to finish. The very day after Mussolini declared war – on June 10, 1940 – Italian bombers commenced attacking the capital of Valletta. Holding the record for heaviest sustained bombing, Malta endured a staggering attack lasting 154 days and nights with a total of 6,700 bombs dropped. Air raids throughout the war over Malta totalled 3,343.

The company was the brainchild of Mel Ziegler, a reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, and his wife Patricia Gwilliam Ziegler who worked as a courtroom artist for the same paper. Inspired by a surplus Bush jacket Mel brought back from a work trip to Australia, the couple eventually left their jobs and began buying bulk surplus vintage clothing–often altering it with new buttons or elbow patches and the like–and selling them at the Marin County Flea Market. When a large purchase of Spanish military shirts turned out to have unnaturally short arms they turned disaster into fortune by concocting the fictitious story of Generalissimo Franco’s “Short Armed Paratrooper Shirts”. A catalogue soon followed with similarly creative copy written by Mel and illustrations of the clothing by Patricia. Opening in 1978, a shop in their hometown of Mill Valley, California prospered thanks to their hard work and creative energy; but there were limits to how far they could grow: In 1983 they sold BR to Donald Fisher of the Gap who wisely insisted they remain as the heads of the company with a “hands off” agreement that promised total creative freedom. The infusion of money and manufacturing power of the Gap led to explosive growth: Lavishly decorated safari stores opened across the country, a team of writers and artists were hired to produce full color illustrated catalogues, and a flood of original clothing was designed and produced in factories across the world.

MANY an interesting craft has slipped quietly out of Vancouver harbor, during its fifty years as a port, through the First Narrows, past Prospect Point, and melted into the track of the setting sun upon some mysterious quest. But it is altogether likely that no more interesting craft, or one carrying a more interesting complement, has left this port than that which left a trail of smoke behind her she passed up Point Grey upon a certain January day of the present year of grace. The Gunner—a j not inappropriate name “mystery ship” in the I Great War, and engaged pretty regularly since then in the hardly less exciting pursuit of rum-running, was off upon a treasure hunt, her objective being Cocos Island, 3,000 miles away.

Located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, over 6,000 miles from the continental United States, is a massive and dangerous vault with some of the most contaminated radioactive material on Earth. “The Tomb” on Runit Island as it is often called, contains the debris of 43 nuclear bomb tests conducted by the U.S. on the Enewetak Atoll of the Marshall Islands, as well as 130 tons of radioactive soil shipped from the Nevada Test Site. Already, cracks can be seen on top of the dome, and chunks of broken concrete rest in black water accumulating at its base. As sea levels rise, the entire Tomb now threatens to crumble into the ocean. 75 years after nuclear testing in the Pacific began, the fallout continues to wreak havoc https://theconversation.com/75-years-after-nuclear-testing-in-the-pacific-began-the-fallout-continues-to-wreak-havoc-158208 Putting the ‘Nuclear Coffin’ in Perspective https://www.newswise.com/articles/putting-the-nuclear-coffin-in-perspective

Our original plan was just to do relatively short trips around the east coast, mostly just beach camping in Montauk, NY, where the summer rental properties are insanely expensive. But eventually, that first camper took us across the country, all over the Baja Peninsula, down the Pacific Coast of Mexico and all over the Southwest USA. It’s incredibly liberating when you get really mobile and comfortable enough to live long term. When I found the Mercedes G Ambulance, I was originally going to just import it, but then I started thinking it would be a wasted opportunity to not also tour Europe, and while you’re at it you might as well dip down to North Africa and explore Morocco. It can kind of snowball once you start exploring. If you’re going to go here, you might as well check out there, and so on.

Many of the areas where the photos were taken were inaccessible during the Soviet era, as they contained classified technology. They depict monuments, factories, military bases and various kinds of vehicles and technology, most in an advanced state of decay. Tkachenko says the project is about humanity's utopian drive for technological progress. But this drive came at a high price, he thinks, because governments were ready to sacrifice almost everything for it. "I travel in search of places which used to have great importance for the technical progress, and which are now deserted," he writes on his website. "Those places lost their significance together with the utopian ideology which is now obsolete. Secret cities that cannot be found on maps, forgotten scientific triumphs, abandoned buildings of almost inhuman complexity. The perfect technocratic future that never came."
