 "Military-Industrial Kurier“ February 27, 2013: 

    "The very 'rules of war' have changed. The role of non-military means of achieving political and strategic goals has grown, and, in many cases, they have exceeded the power of force of weapons in their effectiveness.  All this is supplemented by military means of a concealed character, including carrying out actions of informational conflict and the actions of special operations forces.  Collective intelligence, dynamics of the crowd in participatory systems such as social media, have immense power to support a collective action – such as foment a political change". 

General Valery Gerasimov, the chief of the general staff of the Russian Federation

1960

One of my favorite Christmas gifts. I was ten years old. I placed graphics and projected them to a wall where I traced the art. Rat Fink was popular. Rick Griffen was great.  

I also received a Tyco 70mm telescope complete with tripod, lenses and rangefinder.
