Issey Miyake Pocket Details




Lightning Archives Military Jackets (revised edition) is a reference volume that assembles hundreds of vintage military jackets—from field coats to flight and bomber styles—into a 242-page photographic index, printed in Japan. Each garment is reduced to front, back, and detail shots, annotated with brief data about model, era, and origin, turning decades of conflict and logistics into orderly rows of fabric, hardware, and serial numbers. The revised edition simply expands and updates this taxonomy, confirming that uniforms designed for war now circulate as images and commodities, stripped of purpose, filed away as another closed chapter in a series of collectible books.

The members of Junior M.A.F.I.A. met as childhood friends of The Notorious B.I.G. All the members were under the age of twenty when the group was formed. The group was composed of three separate groups and two individual artists. The 6s, or 666, (Lil' Caesar, Bugsy, Capone, Chico, and Nino Brown) who claim to know right from wrong and practice it; the Sixes knew Biggie before he was rapping (the other members other than Lil' Kim were added on to the group but still were very close to Biggie). The Snakes (cousins Larceny and Trife) who represent the enraged attitude expressed in a large number of America’s youth, MC Klepto, who offered insight on a life of “boostin' and hustlin'”, and Lil' Kim, (a.k.a Big Momma or The Lieutenant), the only female in the group, who showed the ghetto life from a woman’s point of view. The Notorious B.I.G. acted as the "godfather" to the group.

The Boeing Insitu ScanEagle is a small, long-endurance reconnaissance UAV first flown in 2002 and in service with the U.S. Navy and allied forces since the mid-2000s. Just over 1.5 m long with a 3.1 m wingspan, it is launched from a pneumatic “SuperWedge” catapult and recovered in the field by its “Skyhook” system — snagging a wingtip hook on a suspended vertical rope — so it needs no runway. A propeller-driven pusher design, it can loiter for over 24 hours carrying stabilised electro-optical and infrared cameras for maritime and battlefield surveillance.
