Pissarro at Osny,

Pissarro show at AGNSW. The old man remembered now an inspiration. Arounf 81 when he was 51 & PaulGauguin was 33 they worked together, you can see the lift in CP's work.
The exhibit has "Steep road at Osny" 1883 which PG owned for a time. Quite moody. [not found on web, see the show
PG painted several at Osny in 83, not yet great works? 3664 3656

3Dec2005 On Tuesday, gunmen in a silver BMW shot dead Hamza Abbas Asawi, the city's mufti, or top religious cleric, as he was leaving an evening prayer service. Asawi was considered an ally by U.S. forces. Wed two Marines were killed by small arms fire,
Thursday Ten Marines were killed and 11 wounded by a roadside bomb near Fallujah,

Well done the resistance, (Islamic Army in Iraq) making the world safe from further USA attacks.
How careless the Marines, believing they can walk anywhere in the world without being blown up
How careless of Hamza Abbas Asawi to become considered an ally

How to Run an IED Gang
"..The specialists most in demand are the emplacers. This is the most dangerous job, as coalition and Iraqi troops watch carefully for IEDs being placed, and shoot fast, and to kill, if they see a bomb being planted. Needless to say, the highest casualties are among the emplacers.
Many of these specialist teams are independents, and hire themselves out to the money man who pays the best, or has a reputation for not losing people. Some of these teams have been found advertising on the Internet. Men in each team get from $50 to several hundred bucks for each IED worked on.."

To get that shaped charge directly under the arse of the driver: If we have 2 IR beams
Off = beam blocked = front of vehicle
On = beam cleared = rear of vehicle

Let: t1 = beam 1 off t2= beam 1 on t3 = beam 2 off t4 = beam 2 on d = distance between beam 1 & beam 2
Then Speed v1 = d/(t3-t1) Also v2 = d/(t4 -t2)
v1 & v2 are estimates of Vehicle velocity.
Length of Vehicle L = v1 * (t2-t1)
Only detonate if vehicle length and speed are in target range.
if v1 not = v2, acceleration f = (v1-v2)/(t3-t1) correct distance from s = ut + ft²/2
