SMU celebrates the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

January 19, 2012

Dream Week at SMU celebrated the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and recalled his speaking at the University in 1966.

Sponsored by SMU's Office of Multicultural Student Affairs, the annual observance featured a variety of activities throughout the week. A schedule of events for Dream Week 2012 is below.

Commemorating the Dream

In The News

From the January 14, 2012, edition of The Christian Science Monitor

By Daniel B. Wood
Staff writer

Awaiting a panel discussion titled, “What if Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. had Tweeted the Civil Rights Movement,” Franklin Henderson sits in the darkened Steve Allen Theater, talking about the life he didn’t have to lead because of King.

“We didn’t have a poll tax in Miami, Florida where I grew up or a lot of the other hurdles blacks had,” says the retired, Past National President of the Ninth & Tenth (Horse) Calvary Association. “He brought civil rights in America a very long way.”

“But not far enough,” says his wife, Doris. “There is still a long way to go.” . . .

Dennis SimonAsked what is less known or underappreciated about King, some say it was his ability to execute nuts-and-bolts organizing with diverse organizations that came together during the civil rights era.

“There is appreciation of his religious thought and his political philosophy of non-violence, but often overlooked is his management skills,” says Dennis Simon, a political scientist at Southern Methodist University.

Professor Simon says King’s first post of importance was a diverse contingent of groups that included ministers, labor leaders, and a woman’s council, called the Montgomery Improvement Association.

“This is where he went into the trenches and learned how to deal with people, how to deliberate and come to decisions, how to develop political strategy, and how to frame it in a viable narrative for the media,” says Simon. “We are all the beneficiaries of what King learned in this crucible.”

Read the full story.

Dennis Simon is the Altshuler Distinguished Teaching Professor of Political Science in SMU's Dedman College and author of Breaking the Political Glass Ceiling: Women & Congressional Elections.

From SMU's Rick Halperin

Rick Halperin"Martin Luther King spoke about compassion, respect, love, human rights, diversity and justice as the broad goals that all of us as individuals and collectively as a nation should constantly be striving toward. Sadly, no one of either gender, any major political party, or any race or ethnicity who has been in or aspired to the higher echelons of leadership of this country since 1968 has addressed the concepts in any way as Rev. King did.

"What has been sorely lacking in America the 44 years since King's death has been the call of moral persuasion toward a national betterment of our spirit and of our acts toward one another and the world at large. We remain in the quagmire of partisan politics, finger-pointing and self-aggrandizement all couched in the false guise of "love of country."

For Dr. King, "love of country" did not include gross economic disparities, political injustice, civil inequities and a nation mired in foreign conflicts abroad. He remained focused on trying to appeal to the better nature of all people regardless of their race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation and economic status in life. The great equalizer for Rev. King was the fact that people were alive, and hence were entitled to their inherent rights in any social, cultural, economic, civil and political undertaking. Today's leaders, both in this country and around the world, would do well to really study, remember and learn from Dr. King's legacy."

Rick Halperin is director of the Embrey Human Rights Program in SMU’s Dedman College, a longtime human rights advocate and past chair of the Board of Directors of Amnesty International USA.

Default VIDEO - critics welcome. Pain in quad when riding.

Hello Forumgoers, as mentioned in my previous post i am getting quite a bit of discomfort in my leading leg when riding. So as advised here is 3mins of me riding today in Whistler. The conditions were a bit icy and i choose only videos of me at my worst so that any issues i do have are pronounced and easier to see.

Like i said in my previous post i have been riding for many years but mainly on holidays i.e. a couple of weeks every year. I did do 4 months in Fernie however so i would say i have a lot of days on snow. Please be gentle in this respect as snowboarding is a confidence game and i don't want mine completely ripped to shreds.

I did 3 days of lessons when i was a beginner and another day to learn carving (which i don't display in the videos as i feel quite happy with that element of my riding). I have certain issues with the way i ride but so as not to influence you before you've seen it i will not divulge these in any detail.

Last bits of info:

6ft2, 185lbs, 23.5" stance at 12-12 riding a 160 Arbor Blacklist (reverse camber). I learnt on positive camber and rode that until this board, which i acquired a few weeks ago. K2 Maysis US12 and Rome 390 Boss bindings.

Go on, let rip but be constructive please

You know I am not big on wrist gaiters at all. As long as the jacket has cuffs. I guess some people like them. I find em sort of annoying actually. Interesting point though.

Getting Started

Welcome to Special Needs Resource Project. Our intent is to help you, the parent, find a place to start in your quest for services and benefits for your child, no matter what the health issue or disability. We offer monthly newsletters, forms, resource lists, and basic information to help you get started.

As a parent, learning that your child has a severe handicapping medical condition or disability is one of the most frightening things you may ever have to face. You must know (and believe) there are many things that you as a parent can do for your child, regardless of what their diagnosis may be. Taking control of the situation is a very important first step. There is a great deal of responsibility involved in the treatment and care of your child and their medical condition. At times that responsibility can feel overwhelming. Taking baby steps, learning everything you can about your child's diagnosis and prognosis are all things you, the parent, can do to help lighten your load. We've put together a few things here to help get you started with this process.

Military Parents: The same process applies to you, the Military Parent. It doesn't matter if you are an Active Duty career family living on a military base or career National Guard or Reserve living in a civlian community, the process is the same.

The most important strategy to remember, at any time, is ASK QUESTIONS! If there is anything you do not understand, stop right where you are and request an explanation. It doesn't matter where you are. At the hospital for lab testing, school for an IEP meeting, talking with agencies regarding benefits, talking to your insurance carrier, filing paperwork with your base MPF office, etc. Many parents loose out on opportunities to become better advocates for their child, and loose benefits, because they don't have enough information. You can never ask too many questions. Ask, Ask, Ask!

The following sections are designed to get you started on your road to better information and benefits.

By Jodi Summers

When creating fresh office space, use a fresh approach. Google’s idea for their new space on Main St. Venice, put the user first. For the same reason Google chose one of the most unique building in one of the hippest locations in the country for their office space > 340 Main St., Venice, 90291 > in hopes of luring the best talent. They’ve taken the same approach to their office space in the Binoculars building > make it a user-friendly experience.

Google’s goal (try saying that 5x fast) is to create the healthiest work environments possible so Google masterminds can thrive and innovate. From concept through design, construction and operations, the search engine’s goal is to create a brick + mortar workplace that optimizing access to nature, clean air and daylight. The great thing about is happens to be is what’s good for Google is good for the neighborhood.

Let’s explore how the fabric of Main St. is going to change for a better non-car experience…Thomas Williams, Google’s Venice office director, recently attended a Venice Neighborhood Council meeting and shared the info that about 450 engineers will move into space @ 340 Main Street in early November. He also pledged that the company will have a positive impact on the community.

“Generally, they are fairly young, they like computers, and they are really smart,” Williams shared.

At the same meeting, the VNC approved a motion that is also of interest to Main St. Santa Monica. They approved the “Main Street Diet,” a plan to change the configuration of Main Street by adding bike lanes, reducing traffic lanes and adding a center median. These bike tracks are also being discussed in Santa Monica’s bicycle action plan.

It is expected that approximately one-third of the company’s employees bike, walk or take public transportation to work. “A lot of people are happy because they are going to be able to walk to work now,” Williams said. All 450 of the people who will be relocating to the Venice office currently work in Google’s local offices.

Google is well-known for its support of bike commuters – Venice has a large number of bikers and surprisingly little support for them in the North-South directions. Perhaps now we will develop plans for bike lanes and street lights through the long, dark stretches along Main Street.

Let it be known, that the Binoculars building also has adequate underground parking, and Google is open to using a valet system and that it prioritizes not having people park on the street. noted that this is a huge potential win for locals. They are hoping that Google will bring more logical bus routes, such as from Washington Blvd. to downtown Santa Monica. As well as other innovative routes from Santa Monica’s Big Blue and Culver City buses that run throughout Venice without it being necessary to walk a mile to Windward Circle to catch one.

Anything to make Main St. more pedestrian friendly is a good thing and a nice step to greening the neighborhood….

Join the conversation! 2 Comments

  1. On 11-3, Google opens its offices in Frank Gehry’s Binoculars Building at 340 Main St., where the company has leased 100,000 square feet in three buildings.

    The company leased the new space primarily to create a “campus-like feel” for its Los Angeles offices, Google spokesperson Jordan Newman. “But, obviously, this building is pretty cool.”

    The new location will consolidate three Google offices that were previously located in Santa Monica and is expected to house more than 500 employees. About 3/4 of the employees will be in engineering, with the remaining people in sales, Newman told Patch.

  2. But when asked to weigh in on President Barack Obama’s Better Buildings Initiative, a whopping 60% of respondents pegged the plan “another Obama boondoggle,” while 27% said it “is the kind of incentive the industry needs” and 13% said that “it sounds good, but I’m waiting to see.”

Hodgson hopes Cole issue is over

England manager Roy Hodgson is relieved Ashley Cole has apologised to Football Association chairman David Bernstein.

Chelsea left-back Cole used Twitter last week to criticize the FA’s findings in their hearing into John Terry’s alleged racial abuse of Anton Ferdinand last year.

He swiftly apologised for the post, but speculation had suggested Cole could be dropped from the England squad to face San Mario in 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying at Wembley.

However, Bernstein revealed Cole had “showed real contrition” when apologising for his actions, and Hodgson is satisfied the 98-cap defender is still fully committed to playing for his country.

“The chairman has gratefully accepted the apology,” Hodgson said.

“I am quite relieved as England manager that this has now been sorted out between the chairman and Cole.

“No-one who is fair-minded could ever question his commitment to England and the England shirt. His contrition is the greater because he realises he may have put his position in jeopardy and I’m very grateful he hasn’t done that.”

England host San Mario on Friday before travelling to face Poland on Tuesday.

Cole’s club team-mate John Terry retired from England duty last month, claiming his position had been made untenable by the FA’s investigation into his conduct.

He had been cleared of a racially aggravated public order offence against Ferdinand by Westminster Magistrates’ Court in July.

After his retirement from international football, the FA banned Terry for racially abusing Ferdinand, deeming his defence “improbable, implausible and contrived”.

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter!  This has been a truly blessed Easter Season for us.  We started our week with Sarah singing Palm Sunday at Church for the Choir.  Then we began working on our Passion Week poster board (see previous post for instructions) -where we read the Bible passages and discussed the things that took place each day of the final week of Jesus' life.  We then made a symbol/craft of some sort to communicate something about that week to help us remember and affixed it to the square under that day/information.  Good Friday we attended a Worship Service at a friend's Church at noon.  Then we went to another friend's Church for a gallery style depiction of the Passion Week.  You walked in and the Sanctuary was dark except for the small lights that hung over each picture depicting something from each day of the Passion Week.  The final thing you came to was a large wooden cross.  Beside the cross was sheets of paper, nails and some hammers.
We were the only people there at that moment so I snapped a quick picture!
You could write any care, worry, prayer, concern -whatever - and then nail it to the cross.  So creative and cool; cathartic for anyone hurting as well.  It culminated in a gigantic picture of Jesus coming out of the tomb and the Lord's Supper that you could take before leaving.  Finally, we went to a Passover Seder but this Seder was different.  It was led by a Messianic Jew who explained all the symbolism of the Messiah, Jesus, in each aspect of the Jewish Seder.  It was very interesting.  We thoroughly enjoyed it!  Then of course today was Resurrection Sunday!  After Church we had lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt with family at Grandma's house!  It was a truly blessed week focused on what really matters!

Here is our completed poster!

Passion Week Project

I wanted a way to help my daughter really understand what the Passion Week was and how Jesus spent his last week on Earth!  So I put this project together that helps her understand it.  She was doing it with her best friend.  It's not completed (we've only got 3 days done at this posting), but I thought I'd post it free to anyone who wants to use the idea/materials.

Easter Eggs - The FUN way!!

So by now you all know I have many uses for shaving cream!  It's such a great sensory tool for kids to explore and they love it.  We made Easter Eggs with shaving cream and food coloring.  They're very simple and it's loads of fun for the kids to mess around in and the eggs come out pretty neat and each one is different.  Half of the fun is the big "reveal" the next day when they rinse them off and see what they ended up with from that big mess!

Easter Party - Resurrection Tomb Project

Today was our last official Wonderful Wednesday class!  We did an Easter Project and Party together to celebrate our completion of the CC year together!  It's been such a blessing to create this journey with these awesome women.  There has been much behind the scenes in the way of support, love extended, shared struggles and encouragement as a result of this group.  God has certainly used it to provide an enriched experience in homeschooling through our CC year.  I've watched the kids craft and create their way through tangible memory pegs with joy.  I know it has been a highlight to our weeks of school!  Truly a humbling and blessed experience.  I'm thankful to the women who jumped in on my idea and believed in me and the vision of Wonderful Wednesdays!

So onto the project!  I wanted to give the kids a hands on project for considering the burial and resurrection of Jesus.  First I thought of doing that cool pot with the three crosses that grows grass that I had seen on Pinterest several times.  It looked neat.  However, I decided it was much more cost effective and gave them more ownership in creating, to have the kids make their own "tombs" out of salt dough (using a tin can as the mold) and then bake them and paint them, adding some embellishments like moss and a cross on the back.  We also added the element of a "Jesus" using wide scoop craft sticks with our own "frankincense and myrrh" with old spices I had and gauze for the wrapping.  It was truly fun and the kids all had neat different versions to how they saw Jesus and his tomb.  I love when you give them enough information to then create something in their own style instead of just simply copying what they see.

CC Week 24 - Making World Globes

I wanted to do a final project for Wonderful Wednesdays that would help pull the final week of Science together for the kids.  I figured a world globe would be a good ending project.  Little did I know the magnitude of the project!  Now I've done some big projects this year (let us not forget making 28 volcanoes the night before WW back on Week 16!)....however, this one seemed to trump them all.  I think I underestimated the amount of time it would take and it certainly did take a lot of time!  It all started out easy enough...we got together on Tuesday (we decided it would be Terrific Tuesday!) and we paper mache'd the globes and then set them to dry till the next day.  I figured surely that would be the only piece that would require extra time and I planned for it.  Well....

Today was PI (3.14) Day!  So....we had to celebrate by heading down to Pie Bird Restaurant in Raleigh because they were celebrating this very educational day by offering pie slices for $3.14 each!  It was an educational field trip - don't you agree?

Memory Review Party #2 for our CC Community

Timeline Limbo!
My wonderful Director took a chance on my idea to have two Foundation's Community wide "Review Parties" this year.  We scheduled one in the beginning 12 weeks of our year and the second was scheduled to occur toward the end of our second 12 weeks. The idea was to build relationships among parents and children within our Foundation's Community while encouraging them in their pursuit of Foundation's memory work.  I also wanted the kids to see practicing memory work can be fun - hopefully encouraging the kids to work hard at home!  We had a good turn out in spite of the many busy athletic schedules and the fact that it was a nice day which we hadn't seen as of late!  One third of the Foundation's Community was present to participate!

Finishing Well - Week 24 - 1st Proof

Today we did our 1st proof for Memory Master.  My daughter did super - she nailed it all.  It's what we've been working towards all year...being able to recite from memory:

161 Events and people in a chronological timeline
44 US Presidents
24 History sentences that correspond with the timeline giving it more depth
120 Locations and geographic features in Africa, Europe and the Old World
24 Science facts related to geology and life sciences
5 Latin noun endings for both the singular and plural declensions
52 Prepositions, 23 Helping verbs and 12 Linking verbs
Multiplication tables up to 15x15, common squares and cubes, as well as basic geometry formulas and unit conversions

That's over 400 pieces of information -being able to recall it out of order as I ask in random fashion the various information, skipping around in weeks and subjects.  That's the idea of mastery - she can recall it at any given point you ask it.  It's amazing to watch an 8 year old recite things you can't yourself remember!  It's humbling too!  It gives new meaning to that show "Do you know more than a fifth grader?"  I'm certain after today that I don't - not even a third grader actually...LOL!  It also made me so thankful that I homeschool.  My daughter's education is so much more enriched, memorable, hands on and deeper than mine was growing up.  I feel so thankful and blessed to be able to do this for my children.

One of the last things we did this week was to complete our Pin Maps we started in the beginning of the year!  We also completed our travels in our passport book as we "boarded" our last imaginary plane ride to the last Country of the year.  We have enjoyed our Pin Maps this year!  It's been so very much fun for us to board our imaginary planes and travel through imaginary customs with our passports and watch our Pin Map grow and come to life.

Week 23 - Cloud Types!!

What child doesn't love puff paint, cotton balls and using their imaginations?  This was our rendition of cloud types for week 23...

We started our project with a quick exercise of observing the clouds outside and figuring out what type they were.  As it so happened today, we had some really great clouds as a weather system moved out this morning from our area.  We observed out the window and used this to help guide the kids to the right cloud type

Teaching the Orchestra - Week 20 - Tutoring CC

I thought I'd share what I came up with for teaching the Orchestra for this next few weeks as a Tutor.  I wanted to make a visual presentation of the information we are going to be learning in class for the kids.  So, I made a science board of the Orchestra for class.  All of the information has come from CC Connected and you can search there to find them, with the exception of the pictures of Handel, Bach and Mozart which I got from here:

and the My Musical Instruments Book I used is here:

Art & Science Of Sound Recording Now Available Through Steinberg

Comprehensive video series presented by multi-platinum producer Alan Parsons      07/07/11
Art & Science Of Sound Recording Now Available Through Steinberg

Steinberg has announced that it will be distributing Alan Parsons' Art & Science of Sound Recording video series by Keyfax NewMedia. With multi-platinum producer Alan Parsons presenting video footage on recording techniques, studio equipment and instruments, the three-DVD boxed set is available from Steinberg through its web store. Here's what they have to say about it...
"Art & Science of Sound Recording is a wonderful DVD box set about music production. Thanks to Alan Parsons as presenter of the show, this series is not only very informative, but boasts a comparable degree of craftsmanship," commented Frank Simmerlein, Steinberg's marketing director.
"The Art & Science of Sound Recording is a complete 'top-to-toe' look at the modern sound recording process. It begins with looking at what sound is and how it behaves in rooms and then follows the chain of events and equipment from beginning to end," said Julian Colbeck, CEO at Keyfax.
The boxed set contains three DVDs encompassing 24 sections on a range of useful topics from MIDI to audio recording techniques. The show covers various methods of signal processing in the analog and digital domain, using compressors, EQ and reverbs among many others. This is followed by providing a detailed look at recording the essential parts of each band: guitars, keyboards, drums and vocals. Eventually the different processes come together when addressed in a live recording setting.
Multi-instrumentalist, engineer and producer Alan Parsons has worked together with some of the greatest artists in rock history, the likes of the Beatles and Pink Floyd, and with The Alan Parsons Project wrote history himself.

Service updates proposed rule changes for Mexican Wolf reintroduction, releases draft evaluation of impacts

Seeks public comment and announces hearings
Bookmark and Share

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), has updated its June 2013 proposed revisions to the existing nonessential experimental population designation of the Mexican wolf (Canis lupus baileyi) under the Endangered Species Act to provide additional clarity and flexibility to effectively manage the experimental population in a working landscape.  The Service also announces the availability of a draft environmental impact statement (dEIS) on the proposed revisions.  A 60-day public comment period is reopening (through Sept. 23) to provide all interested parties an opportunity to comment on the proposed rule and dEIS.  Public information meetings and hearings have also been scheduled.

Since 1998, the Service and cooperating state, federal and tribal agencies have reintroduced and managed Mexican wolves under a rule designating the U.S. population as “Nonessential, Experimental.” This designation provides for increased management flexibility for populations that are reintroduced into a designated experimental area within their historical range.

“The Fish and Wildlife Service is more committed than ever to working with diverse partners to promote a successful Mexican wolf program,” said the Service’s Southwest Regional Director Ben Tuggle. “Over the last 16 years, we have learned much about managing a wild population of Mexican wolves, and it is clear that the current rule does not provide the clarity or the flexibility needed to effectively manage the experimental population in a working landscape. We need to remedy that so we can continue wolf reintroductions while being responsive to the diverse needs of local communities.”

Specifically, the 1998 regulations limit managers’ ability to achieve the necessary population growth, distribution and recruitment that would improve genetic variation within the experimental population and contribute to a self-sustaining population of Mexican wolves on the landscape.

The proposed revisions therefore include:
• expanding the areas within which Mexican wolves can be released and disperse,
• extending the Mexican Wolf Experimental Population Area’s (MWEPA) southern boundary from I-40 to the U.S.-Mexico border in Arizona and New Mexico, and
• clarifying definitions in the rule, including when wolves can be taken while attacking livestock and non-feral dogs, or as needed to manage wild ungulate populations (elk, deer, etc.).

The regulatory flexibility provided by these proposed revisions to the 1998 rule would allow for management actions within the MWEPA that further the conservation of the Mexican wolf while being responsive to the needs of local communities in cases of problem wolf behavior.

The proposed rule revisions have been informed by and are being evaluated through the development of a comprehensive dEIS.  The dEIS evaluates impacts of four alternative revisions to the rule (including the 1998 rule) on land use, biological resources (including wild ungulate prey species), economic activities (including ranching, hunting and tourism), human health and safety, and environmental justice.

Written comments on this proposed rule and the draft environmental impact statement can be submitted by one of the following methods:

(1)  Electronically:  Go to the Federal eRulemaking Portal: www.regulations.gov.  Search for FWS–R2–ES–2013–0056, which is the docket number for this rulemaking.  You may submit a comment by clicking on “Comment Now!”  Please ensure that you have found the correct rulemaking before submitting your comment.

(2)  By hard copy:  Submit by U.S. mail to:  Public Comments Processing, Attn: FWS–R2–ES–2013–0056; Division of Policy and Directives Management; U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service; 4401 N. Fairfax Drive, MS 2042–PDM; Arlington, VA 22203.

Previously submitted comments on the proposed rule revision and dEIS need not be resubmitted, as they will be fully considered in preparation of the final rule and EIS.

Two public informational sessions and two public hearings on this proposed rule and dEIS are scheduled.  An informational session will be held from 2 to 4 p.m., followed by a public hearing for the recording of oral comments from 6 to 9 p.m. as follows:
• Aug. 11, 2014 at Hon-Dah Conference Center, 777 Highway 260, Pinetop, Ariz. (3 miles outside of Pinetop at the Junction of Hwy 260 and Hwy 73)
• Aug. 13, 2014 at the Civic Center, 400 W. Fourth Street, Truth or Consequences, N.M.

Registration to present oral comments on the proposed rule and dEIS at the public hearings will begin at the start of each informational session.  With the exception of federal elected officials, all oral comment registration cards will be pooled and drawn at random.

The comment period will remain open through September 23, 2014.

To learn more about the proposed rule revision, dEIS, and details of the public hearings, and for links to submit comments to the record, visit www.fws.gov/southwest/es/mexicanwolf.

Greek god of love and sex. In most of the myths he's a mischevious son of Aphrodite and Ares, but some of the antic authors describe him as one of the first gods to emerge from Chaos, a mysterious and powerfull deity.

Expedition Report

Launch from the Baikonur Cosmodrome; landing 54 km northeast of Arkalyk.

Following a two day solo flight Soyuz TM-20 docked with the MIR space station on October 06, 1994. Main goal of the mission was to exchange the resident crew partly. Aleksandr Viktorenko, Yelena Kondakova and long term cosmonaut Valeri Polyakov became the 17th resident crew of the station.

On October, 06, 1994, MIR-17 (Aleksandr Viktorenko and Yelena Kondakova) arrived at MIR together with ESA astronaut Ulf Merbold aboard Soyuz TM-20, Valeri Polyakov was again to remain aboard on his record duration flight. During final approach, Soyuz TM-20 yawed unexpectedly. He assumed manual control and completed docking without incident. Yelena Kondakova, the mission rookie, was the third Russian female cosmonaut and the first female to take part in a long-duration flight. Ulf Merbold was a physicist and veteran of two U.S. Space Shuttle missions. The month-long EUROMIR 94 experiment program was considered a precursor to the ESA Columbus module planned for the joint U.S.-Russia-ESA-Japan-Canada space station. Ulf Merbolds program was planned rapidly, final agreement between ESA and Russian having been concluded in November 1992. It was also constrained by funding limitations - ESA budgeted only about $60 million for EUROMIR 94. Because of these limitations, Ulf Merbold relied heavily on equipment left on MIR by earlier French, Austrian, and German visitors to the station, as well as the Czech-built CSK-1 materials processing furnace. He also used equipment delivered by Progress M-24 and Soyuz TM-20. Ulf Merbold's experiment program included 23 life sciences, 4 materials sciences, and 3 technology experiments.

As part of the program EUROMIR 94 Ulf Merbold and the resident crew performed a scientific research program to test organism in weightlessness and long duration missions. Ulf Merbolds experiment program included 23 life sciences, 4 materials sciences, and 3 technology experiments.

On October 11, 1994 the six cosmonauts aboard MIR were unable to activate a video camera and TV lights while recharging Soyuz TM-20's batteries. A short circuit had disabled the computer which guided MIR's solar arrays, forcing the station to drain its batteries. The cosmonauts used reaction control thrusters on the Soyuz TM-spacecraft docked to the station to orient it so its solar arrays would point toward the Sun, and switched on a backup computer. Normal conditions were restored by October 15, 1994.

Ground teams rescheduled Ulf Merbold's experiments to allow completion of those interrupted by the power problems, and moved experiments using large amounts of electricity to the end of Ulf Merbold's stay. In addition, the Czech-built CSK-1 furnace malfunctioned, forcing postponement of five of Ulf Merbold's experiments until after his return to Earth.

On November 03, 1994 Talgat Musabayev, Yuri Malenchenko, and Ulf Merbold undocked in Soyuz TM-19 and backed 190 m from MIR. They then activated the Kurs automatic approach system, which successfully redocked the spacecraft. The cosmonauts then transferred back to MIR. The test was related to the difficulties Soyuz TM-20 and Progress M-24 experienced during their automatic approaches. Final undocking and reentry the following day occurred without incident.

On November 04, 1994 Ulf Merbold again squeezed into the Soyuz TM-19 descent module, together with the MIR-16 crew of Yuri Malenchenko and Talgat Musabayev, and 16 kg of the life sciences samples he collected during his stay on the station. Additional samples - including materials processing samples to be produced when the MIR-17 cosmonauts carry out the experiments Ulf Merbold was to have conducted during his stay - were to be returned to Earth by Space Shuttle Atlantis in mid-1995. Soyuz TM-19 undocking, deorbit burn, reentry, and landing occurred without significant incident.

The freighter Progress M-25 blasted off from Baikonur on November 11, 1994 at 07:21 UTC for a flight of two days to the MIR station.
On November 13, 1994 Progress M-25 arrived. Aleksandr Viktorenko stood by at the remote control panel on MIR during approach, but manual intervention was unnecessary. Valeri Polyakov, veteran of the Progress M-24 problems, called Progress M-25 "an ideal freighter". Among other cargoes, Progress M-25 delivered replacement parts for the failed CSK-1 materials processing furnace.
Progress M-25 docked with MIR on November 13, 1994 at 09:04:29 UTC, undocked on February 16, 1995 at 13:03:00 UTC and was destroyed in reentry on February 16, 1995 at 16:45:00 UTC.

On January 11, 1995 between 09:00 and 09:25 UTC the Soyuz TM-20 flew autonomously to test the Kurs approach and docking system at the forward transition section of the MIR complex. Problems during some docking operations in August/September 1994 (Progress M-24) and on October 06, 1994 (Soyuz TM-20) made this operation necessary. Long before Soyuz TM-20 separated from the complex the whole crew was on board of that ship and thoroughly tested all systems. According to the plan the Soyuz TM-20 executed the approach and docking fully automatically by use of the Kurs system. Aleksandr Viktorenko, assisted by Yelena Kondakova, was ready to take over manually if something went wrong or in case of a too high fuel consumption. Soyuz TM-20 perfectly linked to the station at 09:24:57 UTC, the aberrations remained far within the limits, just before docking less than 0.5 degrees. The good functioning of the Kurs systems is indispensable for the execution of the program for this year.

They had to cope with technical problems with the heating, drinking-water, pressure control and with a leakage of water in the Kristall module. With the help of advice from experts on earth they solved the problems. On January 23, 1995 TsUP gave Aleksandr Viktorenko attitude control data to adjust the attitude of the complex in such a way that the solar panels of the Kristall module could deliver a maximum of energy. Valeri Polyakov continued his medical checks and experiments. On request by experts on earth the crew filmed and observed the areas of Kobe in Japan and Grozny. On January 21, 1995 they transmitted these images to earth. It was not always possible to do this due to clouds and bad weather in the areas of interest. Also on January 21, 1995 Valeri Polyakov gave a lecture for Russian children, members of an organization for young people interested in spaceflight. During a long TV-session via Altair Valeri Polyakov explained how the systems in the base block worked. Extensively he explained all about the production and delivery of oxygen for the complex and the purification of the air on board. He emphasized the necessity of the permanent survey of the life systems and a regular maintenance.

Space Shuttle STS-63 performed the first rendezvous maneuver with the MIR space station. After extensive negotiations and technical information exchanges between U.S. and Russian space teams, Russians concluded close approach could be safely achieved and the STS-63 crew was given 'go' to proceed. R1U thruster manifold was closed and the backup thruster was selected for the approach. Ship-to-ship radio contact with MIR was achieved well ahead of time, and Vladimir Titov, who had previously lived on MIR for more than a year, communicated excitedly with the three cosmonauts aboard the space station: MIR-17 Commander Aleksandr Viktorenko; Flight Engineer Yelena Kondakova; and Valeri Polyakov, a physician who had broken Vladimir Titov's record for extended time in space. After stationkeeping at a distance of 122 meters (400 ft) from MIR and with James Wetherbee manually controlling the orbiter, Discovery was flown to 11 meters (36 ft) from the Russian space station. "As we are bringing our spaceships closer together, we are bringing our nations closer together", James Wetherbee said after Discovery was at point of closest approach. "The next time we approach, we will shake your hand and together we will lead our world into the next millennium." The closest approach to MIR of 11 meters (36 ft) occurred on February 06, 1995 at 19:23:20 UTC. "We are one. We are human", Aleksandr Viktorenko responded. James Wetherbee then backed away to 122 meters (400 ft) and performed one and a quarter-loop flyaround of MIR while station was filmed and photographed. The MIR crew reported no vibrations or solar array movement as result of the approach.

The freighter Progress M-26 was launched from Baikonur on February 15, 1995 at 16:48:27 UTC and docked at the aft (Kvant1) docking port of the MIR complex on February 17, 1995 at 18:21:36 UTC. Progress M-26 had to deliver new supplies to the MIR station, i.e. water, fuel, oxygen, oxidizers, food, but also materials for the extension of the on board systems, repair material for the drinking water installation, post and a new board documentation, medical goods, underwear etc. and an amount of 132 KG hard- and software for the experiments of the American Norman Thagard. The enormous cargo made it impossible to equip Progress M-26 with a VBK (ballistic return capsule). The vessel undocked on March, 15, 1995 at 02:26:38 UTC and was destroyed in reentry over the Pacific Ocean on March, 15, 1995 at 06:15:00 UTC.

On March 16, 1995 the relief crew onboard Soyuz TM-21 docked with the station. The crew consisted of Commander Vladimir Dezhurov, Flight Engineer Gennadi Strekalov and the American Research Cosmonaut Norman Thagard.

The Soyuz spacecraft is composed of three elements attached end-to-end - the Orbital Module, the Descent Module and the Instrumentation/Propulsion Module. The crew occupied the central element, the Descent Module. The other two modules are jettisoned prior to re-entry. They burn up in the atmosphere, so only the Descent Module returned to Earth.
Having shed two-thirds of its mass, the Soyuz reached Entry Interface - a point 400,000 feet (121.9 kilometers) above the Earth, where friction due to the thickening atmosphere began to heat its outer surfaces. With only 23 minutes left before it lands on the grassy plains of central Asia, attention in the module turned to slowing its rate of descent.
Eight minutes later, the spacecraft was streaking through the sky at a rate of 755 feet (230 meters) per second. Before it touched down, its speed slowed to only 5 feet (1.5 meter) per second, and it lands at an even lower speed than that. Several onboard features ensure that the vehicle and crew land safely and in relative comfort.
Four parachutes, deployed 15 minutes before landing, dramatically slowed the vehicle's rate of descent. Two pilot parachutes were the first to be released, and a drogue chute attached to the second one followed immediately after. The drogue, measuring 24 square meters (258 square feet) in area, slowed the rate of descent from 755 feet (230 meters) per second to 262 feet (80 meters) per second.
The main parachute was the last to emerge. It is the largest chute, with a surface area of 10,764 square feet (1,000 square meters). Its harnesses shifted the vehicle's attitude to a 30-degree angle relative to the ground, dissipating heat, and then shifted it again to a straight vertical descent prior to landing.
The main chute slowed the Soyuz to a descent rate of only 24 feet (7.3 meters) per second, which is still too fast for a comfortable landing. One second before touchdown, two sets of three small engines on the bottom of the vehicle fired, slowing the vehicle to soften the landing.

The Soyuz TM-20 made a safe landing at about 50 km from the city Arkalyk in Kazakhstan on March 22, 1995 at 04:04 UTC. Soyuz TM-20 landed only 10 km from the estimated aiming point. The return operation was executed as planned: On March 21, 1995 at 21:35 UTC closing of the hatches, March 22, 1995 at 00:40 UTC separation from the MIR station, 03:15 UTC starting engines to reduce speed to start descent and a safe landing at 04:04 UTC. In the hour before the landing (between 03:06 and 03:49 UTC) radio traffic of Soyuz TM-20 with TsUP via MIR and Altair could be monitored. Aleksandr Viktorenko and Yelena Kondakova reported the operational data. Separation of motor compartment and life compartment occurred at 03:39:55 UTC. From 03:40 UTC radio silence caused by the plasma-heath.
When the crew landed, Valeri Polyakov was onboard and became the world record holder (438 days in space in one flight).

Technology Description:

The physiological monitoring instrumentation was developed to transmit astronaut physiological data to ground stations for monitoring and analysis. This family of technologies opened a whole new world of remote biological monitoring on Earth. Patients in locations away from a medical facility or in transit can be monitored and assisted. For example, heart readings can be acquired by an electrode and sent by wire to a telemetry transmitter attached to the patient? body.

The readings are then wirelessly relayed to a display console at a central station where medical personnel can simultaneously monitor the condition of several patients. A contract for the development of an astronaut monitoring system in the early days of the space program provided Mennen Medical, Inc. with a foundation in telemetry that led to its innovation of a broad line of computerized medical electronic systems used by hospitals. These include telemetry and other physiological monitoring technologies used in intensive care units, operating and recovery rooms, neonatal and pediatric units, emergency rooms, shock/trauma units, and medical transport vehicles. As the first to adopt total solid state design in patient monitoring equipment and the first to offer multipatient telemetry monitoring, Mennen has continued through the decades since the early 1960s to provide state of the art instrumentation installed in medical institutions all over the world (pictured are Mennen staff and products).

Murder on the Orient Express

Agatha Christie

Chapters 10–12, Part two

Chapters 7–9, Part two

Chapters 10–12, Part two, page 2

page 1 of 2

Chapter 10

The Italian, whom Poirot soon discovers is a naturalized American, is called in for questioning. Antonio Foscanelli, the Italian, has lived in America for ten years and works for Ford. He tells Poirot that he has little knowledge of the Armstrong case or the Armstrongs. The night of the murder Antonio sat with the American (Hardman) and then went to his compartment. He is awaken in the night by his compartment mate, John Bull, who is groaning. Antonio smokes cigarettes.

Chapter 11

Mary Debenham enters the dining car for questioning. Neatly dressed in a black suit, she fulfills Poirot's previous estimate of her. Mary tells Poirot she is twenty-six-year-old and from England. The night of the murder she "went to bed and slept." She woke up at five in the morning with the feeling the train had stopped. When she peered out her door she saw a woman in a scarlet kimono down the corridor. The woman had a shingle cap on and looked tall and thin. Mary does not act terribly affected by the murder, she only saw Ratchett yesterday and hardly noticed him. Poirot asks about Mary's roommate, Greta Ohlsson. Mary tells him she is a nice woman and has a brown, natural wool dressing gown. Poirot confirms that Mary's dressing gown, the same he saw her wear on the train to Stamboul, is a pale mauve. As Mary leaves she tells Poirot that Greta is very worried that she is suspected because she was the last person to see Ratchett alive. Mary saw Greta leave to bring Mrs. Hubbard aspirin at 10:30 and returned about five minutes later. Poirot asks the doctor if Ratchett could have been killed so early. The doctor shakes his head no, Poirot tells Mary to tell Greta she is not suspect.

Chapter 12

Poirot discusses why he suspects Mary Debenham with the doctor and M. Bouc. Poirot is suspicious because of the conversation he heard between Mary and Colonel Arbuthnot on the train to Stamboul and because he thinks the murder was planned by a cool and calculated person—like Mary Debenham. The last passenger is called in for questioning, Hildegarde Schmidt, the maid of Princess Dragomiroff. Poirot is kind and gentle with Ms. Schmidt, quite different than his exchange with Mary Debenham. He asks her what she did the previous evening, the night of the murder. Hildegarde went to sleep and was waken by an attendant who told her the Princess needed attention. She put on some clothes and went to the Princess's room, gave her a massage and then read to her until she fell asleep. Afterward, she returned to her compartment and slept. In the corridor, Hildegarde saw the conductor coming out of a compartment two or three doors down from the Princess. The conductor nearly ran into her and briefly apologized. Mrs. Hubbard's bell was ringing, but he did not answer it. Poirot brings in the sleeping car attendants, but Hildegarde does not recognize any of them as the man who bumped into her the night before. Hildegarde tells Poirot the man she bumped into was small and dark.

Hildegarde tears when she talks about the Armstrong case, very moved. She is not the owner of the handkerchief found in Ratchett's room and tells Poirot she does not know who owns it. Poirot notices hesitation in her voice.

Hercule Poirot is one of the great detectives of mystery fiction. He, like other detectives, moves outside of the chaos of a case and employs his resolve and intellect to solve the issue at hand. Poirot's job is to restore the order that has been disrupted on the train by gathering evidence with authority and enough detachment as to allow him to think rationally about the suspects and events of the murder. Unlike if her were still part of the Belgian police force, as a Private Detective, Poirot is independent of official authority and can operate independently. Poirot has intellectual authority and moral authority. As a detective, his objective is to restore order and fight evil and crime.

Poirot's intellectual authority is proven in Chapter 3, Part three where Poirot's thoughts are actually compared with Dr. Constantine and M. Bouc. When the men sit to think about the facts of the case gathered so far, the doctor and M. Bouc are baffled, confused and can hardly focus on the problem at hand. While the men daydream, Poirot sits still and focused, almost motionless until he finds the answer. Poirot's real challenge is to think the murderer, who is smarter than M. Book and Dr. Constantine.

I agree with the others - there are just too many variables to come up with an accurate prediction:

* a 10 pound loss will result in more lost inches on a short person than a tall person
* you don't have any control over where you lose weight from - in any particular week it could come predominantly from your calves, or your thighs, or waist, etc.
* creating a 1 inch loss on someone with a 50 inch waist requires a greater volume of fat than someone with a 40 inch waist.

I do have a theory though (totally UNbacked up by any scientific evidence). A sustainable rate of weight loss is generally reckoned at 1% of your body weight per week, so if you extended this you could probably expect to lose 1% of your inches per week also on a long term average. (Even this theory has a number of mathematical holes in it, but as a crude approximation??)

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

I lost 9 inches this past month, but I am not sure what is "typical," even more so considering this past month was the first time I recorded measurements. I'm sure inches lost will vary from person to person.

Most people don't lose size uniformly over our whole bodies. We tend to lose size in some places before others. The first place for me was in my face -- which didn't effect any of my measurements. I also got smaller in my shoulders and chest early on. My abdomen will apparently be the last place I'll lose it. It's also the first place I put weight whenever I gain a little back.

Overall, with my 30 pound weight loss, I have gone down from a size 18-20 to a size 16.

I don't think there IS a typical answer to this question, even for an individual. I might lose one inch in a month, or none. Or three. There's no pattern to it.

Just taking an informal survey :) I've been at this about a month and am getting ready to take a new set of measurements. So just curious to see what everyone else finds to be typical shrinkage for one month.

Guessed right that time...

Saturday, March 09, 2013

Received a mysterious message from a friend of mine via Twitter Direct Message. It said, "Did you see that pic of you? lol" and then it gave a link to click...

It didn't use my name, wasn't any more specific than that, and even though I was burning with curiosity, for some reason I was reluctant to click the link..

Finally I got up enough nerve (and tech savvy) to go to her Twitter account, and guess what I found!
This message:
"If you have received a message from me via Twitter, DO NOT OPEN the attachment. My account was hacked."

I want to pat myself on the back! I wasn't OVERLY paranoid, but just the RIGHT AMOUNT of PARANOID!

(Reminds me of the old saying: "It's not being paranoid if they really ARE out to get you...")

Yay, ME!

walking in the rain

I don't mind walking in a drizzle.  Boots, coat and hat provide the right degree of sepration from the wet.  This year I'm adding gloves to my essential rain gear because my hands aren't in pockets; they're pushing a stroller.

S gets a little more protection.  As soon as fall weather hit, I scurried out to find a rain coat for the stroller and a fuzzy, hooded sleeper for S.  Doesn't she look cozy?  Passers by often tell me they envy her ride, but I prefer a brisk walk along the leaf-strewn sidewalk, drizzle dripping off the rim of my hat.

Do you walk in the rain?

  1. Yes, I do. And Little S looks very cozy in her stroller.

    Have a good weekend!

  2. Prefer to walk in the dry but sometimes walking in the rain is the only opportunity. Yes one cannot put hands in pockets with a stroller.
