Military Vehicle Technology Foundation The Military Vehicle Technology Foundation is a large collection of military vehicles located in Portola Valley , California . It was founded by the late Jacques Littlefield , and now is under the direction of Bill Boller . The founder of the Foundation , Mr . Jacques Littlefield , started the collection in 1975 with the purchase of an unrestored M3A1 Scout Car . The first two tanks arrived on site in 1983 . The collection comprised a total of five armored vehicles by 1988 . Over time other military vehicles and associated equipment were acquired from dealers , collectors , or in trade with various museums or government agencies in the United States and abroad . By the middle of the 1990s the collection included examples from almost all historically significant land battles of the last half - century . The oldest armored military vehicle in the collection is a World War I era M1917 light tank . The Foundation was established in early 1998 to serve the interests of authors , historians , educators , the defense industry , veteran groups , model makers and the entertainment industry . Littlefield ' s major objective for the Foundation was to preserve the collection for the future . The collection is very large , surpassing many national military museums in both quality and quantity . Over 200 armored fighting vehicle s are present in the collection . The foundation offers tours of its collection . Scheduling information can be found on its website . In 2012 the foundation started a new program in conjunction with the Boy Scouts of America to start a youth Venturing Crew to assist in the restoration of vehicles . As well as to help educate the public through tours and presentations about the significance of armored vehicles throughout history . More information about the crew can be found at their website .

Tsukubō The ( push pole ) was a pole weapon used by the samurai class and their retainers in feudal Japan . History and description . In Edo period Japan the samurai were in charge of police operations , various levels of samurai police with help from non - samurai commoners used many types of non lethal weapons in order to capture suspected criminals for trial . Historically the tsukubō was used as a type of man catcher , usually around 2 meters in length , with a T - shaped head . The head of the tsukubō would have various metal spikes and barbs . The pole was hardwood with sharp metal barbs or spines attached to metal strips on one end to keep the person being captured from grabbing the pole . The opposite end of the pole would have a metal cap , or " ishizuki " like those found on naginata and other pole weapons . The tsukubō was one component of the " torimono sandōgu " ( three implements of arresting ) , along with the " sodegarami " ( sleeve entangler ) and the " sasumata " ( spear fork ) used by samurai police to capture suspected criminals uninjured . The tsukubō could be used to push , pull , or trip a suspect . The tsukubō may have been developed from a type of Japanese rake used by farmers according to Don Cunningham . Originally made of wood , the teeth were eventually covered with or made of metal so that they would last longer . It is likely that they were used by farmers as impromptu weapons when necessary . Don Cunningham also states that the " tsukubō " was also called " teppa " , " hakan " , " gettetsuken " , " saburi " , and " hoko " .

Joffre - class aircraft carrier The " Joffre " class was a class of two aircraft carrier s planned by France prior to World War II . Only one of the two vessels was begun , and neither was launched before the project was cancelled in 1940 . History . The " Joffre " was designed to give the French Navy a fleet carrier of greater capability than the existing " Béarn " . The " Béarn " was hopelessly outclassed by the late 1930s as French aircraft carrier design had not kept pace with developments in other countries , and badly hampered by the fact it was not designed from the keel up as an aircraft carrier , but was instead a converted World War I - era battleship . " Joffre " was a design aimed at rectifying the deficiencies , but was still of limited capacity . The lead ship was laid down on 18 November 1938 , but the rapid arrival of World War II led to a slow down of construction and the ultimate cessation of work that came in June 1940 as the country capitulated to German invasion . Work on the " Joffre " was not continued by the Germans and the hull was scrapped . The second planned vessel of the class , the " Painlevé " was never laid down . As the course of the war went , the lack of naval aviation did not become a factor for the French fleet , as France fell to land invasion before its navy could play a major role in the proceedings .
Commercial Joint Mapping Toolkit The Commercial Joint Mapping Toolkit , or CJMTK ( also referred to as C / JMTK ) , is a replacement for the previous United States Department of Defense ( DoD ) Joint Mapping Toolkit ( JMTK ) that utilizes commercial off - the - shelf ( COTS ) components . The primary component of CJMTK is ESRI ' s complete ArcGIS system , with additional functionality for military analysis , overlays , sensors , and data . CJTMK is now the DoD standard mapping toolkit for C2I software . The National Geospatial - Intelligence Agency ( NGA ) is the U . S . Government program manager for CJMTK with Northrop Grumman IT TASC as the prime contractor . Team members include : ESRI ( for the foundation technology utilizing the ArcGIS architecture ) , Leica Geosystems ( for image processing ) , and Analytical Graphics ( for satellite modeling ) . Organizations creating C2I software for the DoD can obtain , develop on , and deploy to the DoD the CJMTK package free of charge . Non - C2I DoD programs may use the CJMTK under the Extended User Community ( EUC ) licensing option , for which the EUC program is responsible for the funding . Programs outside the DoD may be eligible to use the CJMTK under the Foreign Military Sales ( FMS ) licensing option . FMS certification and funding are the responsibility of the sponsoring organization . The CJMTK API is available in the form of Microsoft COM + , C , C + + and Java . CJMTK supports most common geospatial data formats and protocols ( see the CJMTK and ESRI sites for specifics ) , including , with the latest version , Google Earth ' s KML format .
Magazine clamp A magazine clamp is an accessory for detachable firearm magazine s that allows the user to affix together multiple magazine s . The clamp facilitates reloading of firearms by reducing movement and actions performed for reloading . Normally extra magazines are stored in pouches worn on the body ; when reloading , the user has to go through a large range of motion from pouch to firearm . Furthermore , depending on the user ' s stance , ammunition pouches may not be easily accessible ( e . g . when prone ) . However , when equipped with a magazine clamp , the wielder of the weapon only has to shift the depleted magazine left or right to the next fresh magazine . Magazine clamps come in different varieties . There are actual clamps that consist of adjustable arms and a screw mechanism to tighten the arms . There are also magazine specific clamps that can only be used with certain magazines . For the ill - prepared , magazine clamps are easily improvised in the field with some kind of binding material ( usually some kind of cloth or electrical tape ) , and something to space the magazines apart so they do not interfere with each other when reloading .
Timeline of the Adriatic campaign of 1807 – 14 The Adriatic campaign of 1807 – 1814 was a struggle for supremacy in the Adriatic Sea between the French Navy and the British Royal Navy during the Napoleonic Wars . The early stages of the campaign saw extensive activity between rival frigate squadrons , climaxing at the Battle of Lissa in 1811 at which the last major French force was destroyed and its commander killed . The subsequent campaign was characterised by sustained raids by British warships on French and Italian convoys , warships and coastal positions across the Adriatic , culminating in the capture of several key French port cities in 1813 , during the War of the Sixth Coalition . The campaign developed following the Treaty of Tilsit in 1807 , in which the Russian Navy agreed to withdraw from the Adriatic . For the next seven years , the Royal Navy sought to disrupt French and Italian military and commercial sea traffic , as well as the movement of troops and supplies to the Illyrian Provinces . Command of the Adriatic partially rested on control of the Ionian Islands , which lie outside the Straits of Otranto but could be used to blockade the passage if properly garrisoned . To this end , the French heavily fortified the island of Corfu , but were unable to consistently maintain an effective naval squadron to dispute British operations in the Adriatic . Exploiting French weakness at sea , British cruisers were able to defeat successive French squadrons sent to reinforce the region and exerted total dominance in the Adriatic and Ionian seas . The campaign in the Adriatic has been credited with having a significant effect on the wider war through the disruption of French forces in the Balkans . It has been suggested that Napoleon intended to invade the Ottoman Empire following the War of the Fifth Coalition , but was dissuaded in part due to the difficulty of supplying a force in the region without control of the Adriatic , his attention eventually turning to Russia . The campaign also had effects on the morale and effectiveness of the French fleet , which lost some of its best commanders and frigates in the campaign , and on the Austrian advance on Italy in 1813 , when French defence lines were repeatedly out - flanked by British attacks from the sea . Timeline . The list on the left recounts the actions and operations undertaken by the squadrons operating in the Adriatic during the campaign . The list on the right provides contextual information , recounting wider events in Europe and the Mediterranean that may have had an effect on the campaign .

George Miller Beard George Miller Beard ( May 8 , 1839 – January 23 , 1883 ) was a U . S . neurologist who popularized the term neurasthenia , starting around 1869 . Biography . Beard was born in Montville , Connecticut on May 8 , 1839 , to Rev . Spencer F . Beard , a Congregational minister , and Lucy A . Leonard . Beard ' s mother died in 1842 and his father remarried the following year to Mary Ann Fellowes . He graduated from Yale College in 1862 , and received his medical degree from the College of Physicians and Surgeons of New York in 1866 . While still in medical school during the American Civil War , he served as an assistant surgeon in the West Gulf squadron of the United States Navy aboard the gunboat " New London " . After the war and graduation from medical school , he married Elizabeth Ann Alden , of Westville , Connecticut , on December 25 , 1866 . He is remembered best for having defined neurasthenia as a medical condition with symptoms of fatigue , anxiety , headache , impotence , neuralgia and depression , as a result of exhaustion of the central nervous system ' s energy reserves , which Beard attributed to civilization . Physicians who agreed with Beard associated neurasthenia with the stresses of urbanization and the increasingly competitive business environment . Stated simply , people were attempting to achieve more than their constitution could cope with . Typically this followed a short illness from which the patient was thought to have recovered . One of the more unusual disorders he studied from 1878 onwards was the exaggerated startle reflex among French - Canadian lumbermen from the Moosehead Lake region of Maine , that came to be known as the Jumping Frenchmen of Maine . If they were startled by a short verbal command , they would carry out the instruction without hesitation , irrespective of the consequences . The studies stimulated further research by the military and Georges Gilles de la Tourette . Beard was also involved extensively with electricity as a medical treatment , and published extensively on the subject . He was a champion of many reforms of psychiatry , and was a founder of the National Association for the Protection of the Insane and the Prevention of Insanity . He also took an unpopular stance against the death penalty for persons with mental illness , going so far as to campaign for leniency for Charles J . Guiteau , the assassin of President James Garfield on the basis that the man was not guilty because of insanity . Beard was a critic of Spiritualism which he wrote was one of history ' s greatest delusion s . He published articles on anomalistic psychology such as " The Psychology of Spiritism " ( 1879 ) exposing the fraud of mediumship and describing its psychological basis . He died on January 23 , 1883 in New York City .
