A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy common booster core arrives at the Horizontal Integration Facility at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station for preflight processing. The Delta IV Heavy will launch NASA's upcoming Parker Solar Probe mission. The mission will perform the closest-ever observations of a star when it travels through the Sun's atmosphere, called the corona. The probe will rely on measurements and imaging to revolutionize our understanding of the corona and the Sun-Earth connection. Liftoff atop the Delta IV Heavy rocket is scheduled to take place from Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 37 in summer 2018.

PSD is the flight integration facility where pressure suits survival kits, parachutes and other flight equipment are maintained, fitted, overhauled or integrated into the aircraft systems. (At this time U2R/TR-1, and SR-71A)
This is a David Clark S1031 suit, a seven layered suit used to unlimited altitude. The suit uses 100% oxygen which enters the suit through a pressure regulator in the rear of the helmet. The helmet has a face curtain to assure that any suit leaks do not decompress the face area, and that pressure is available for breathing. Exhaled gases get passed through the face curtain to the suit environment. The suit pressure is maintained with compressed Oxygen from the aircraft system, through a dual stage suit pressure controller. The regulator is operated by two vacuum aneroids which compress seals, if the ambient cabin pressure is less than required, the vacuum aneroids contract allowing system pressure to enter the suit. The small pulley with the steel cable running through it is the helmet hold-down strap which stops the helmet from rising when the suit is inflated.
In the event of ejection there are 2 auxiliary oxygen bottles in the survival kit which should supply enough oxygen for the crewman to reach the ground.
Integrated into the suit is the parachute harness, connected by the Koch connector on her left shoulder. The parachute is a 35 foot diameter chute ballistically opened by a mortar fired 25 pound steel slug. The chute utilizes a quarter deployment bag, only partially opening at altitude. Once speed has reduced, the chute fully deploys.
The suit also contains automatic life preservers under each arm, equipped with a salt water sensor which immediately inflates the preservers when exposed to sea-water.
There have been successful ejections above 80,000 feet.
Post 3: Transformers Energon Deluxe Class Snow Cat
One thing I am sure of about Lego/Transformers integration is that it works best with characters from Energon and Cybertron. Why? Because (unlike the movie figures) they hold the weapons in their hands. This makes sense because its normally the figures that can hold weapons that need the most help. Take Snow Cat for example. The figure didn't come with any holdable weapon yet Hasbro still gave it hand holes. Fortunately your average Energon/Cybertron figure should be able to hold a Technic peg in the hand quite comfortably. Once this is done you can quickly get to making whatever weapons/attachments you desire. Snow Cat looks much better with his new sniper-rifle.

Taken about 30 yd (27 m) east of Old Ore Road, on the Chihuahuan Desert floor 500 yd (457 m) east of the foot of Cuesta Carlota. And this spot was about 2.0 road mi (3.2 km) north of its intersection with the paved park road to Rio Grande Village (Park Road 12).
The marvelous plant on display here is a Chisos Prickly Poppy, Argemone chisosensis. The next shot in this series will show its flowers at closer range; this is the habitat shot. That said, there are two fully developed, white-petaled blossoms visible here. They're being tilted over to the right by a stiff breeze. This requires no further explanation, because it's always windy when I try to photograph wildflowers.
Chisos Prickly Poppy is an edifying example of a plant with an accurate common name. It is indeed a member of the Poppy Family (Papaveraceae); it is fearsomely armed with long prickles; and it does like to hang in and about the Chisos Mountains, which are only about 15 miles (24 km) due west of this locale.
This particular specimen seems to have built a rock garden for itself, and is nicely edged with larger chunks of what I gather are mostly Buda Limestone. There may also be some bits of the Del Rio Clay. Both formations make up this side of Cuesta Carlota, and are Upper Cretaceous in age. The smaller overlying stone fragments make up the desert pavement, a common sight in the arid places of the American Southwest.
One leading explanation of how desert pavement forms is an eminently simple one: smaller rock particles once present have gradually been blown away, and only the pebbles too heavy for aeolian transport have remained. But there are other hypotheses out there. For another view of this intriguing aspect of the desert landscape, see this post.

Looking southwestward at a small canyon of a Tornillo Creek tributary.
In this location we're about 6.9 road mi / 11.1 road km north of the intersection of Old Ore Road and Park Road 12. So we're almost 5 mi (8 km) farther up this rocky track from the site of the previous, wildly popular and deeply appreciated photo in this series.
Whoever Carlota was, she certainly had quite an impact on the local landscape.
I've already shown and described Cuesta Carlota, the prominent ridge that parallels the lower portion of Old Ore Road and whose northern end terminates just east of here. And this scenic spot is known as Carlota Tinaja. That requires a bit of explaining.
It's my understanding the Spanish term tinaja denotes a large jar or other similar ceramic container. This leads me to this post's title, which is a play on the old schoolyard riddle, "When is a door not a door? — When it's ajar." Get it? When . . . it's . . a . . . jar. Of course, it loses its punch when it has to be explained.
But in this case, when is a tinaja/jar not a jar? — When it's a natural depression in the bedrock where standing water collects and wildlife and livestock come to drink. That's a nice poetic adaptation of the word, but I don't know if it has that additional meaning far and wide in Mexico and the adjacent US, or is just another of those funky things specific to the alternative universe that is Big Bend.
In any case, there must have been one of those watering holes down in that streambed.
If you've been to this park and spent some time in Boquillas Canyon and Santa Elena Canyon, you know that one of the area's big geologic stories has to do with the series of distinctly stratified Cretaceous-period formations on dramatic display. These contain a lot of limestone, but include other sedimentary rock types, too. They formed after North and South America parted company during the breakup of Pangaea.
In the big Rio Grande canyons, however, most of what you see are Lower Cretaceous units, including the massive, cliff-forming Santa Elena Limestone. Here, however there's a beatifically lovely exposure of the Upper Cretaceous Boquillas Formation. And according to the USGS map of the park I often cite (Kenzie J. Turner et al., 2011), the rock here belongs specifically to the Boquillas' San Vincente Member.
The booklet that accompanies the map describes the San Vicente as
Medium-gray, finely crystalline, thin-bedded limestone, and brownish-gray and yellowish- to light-gray claystone, calcareous shale, marl, and chalk. Limestone is argillaceous and chalky; claystone is calcareous and contains some clay minerals including kaolinite, montmorillonite, and illite; about 145 m thick.
And thin-bedded it definitely is. Such flaggy strata as these can produce striking patterns and textures.
Apparently the Boquillas Formation owes its origin to sea level rise and the establishment of the Western Interior Seaway. This great swath of seawater not only covered the Big Bend region; it transected this continent from north to south. An ambitious mosasaur or ammonite could have traveled all the way from the Arctic Ocean to the correctly named Gulf of Mexico.

“The EU is facing another ‘whatever it takes’ moment”, EP President Roberta Metsola said when introducing Italy’s Prime Minister Mario Draghi to the plenary. She added that Mr Draghi already steered the EU out of a crisis when he was President of the European Central Bank. “I have no doubt that we can rely on your experience again as the EU faces another existential crisis”.
On the war in Ukraine, Ms Metsola highlighted that “the coordination, solidarity and unity the EU has shown against this war must remain the blueprint for our actions going forward.” On the future of the EU, she pointed out that, “no suggestions for change that have been made by the Conference should be off limits. Because if not now, then when?”

Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort fronting Marina Bay in Singapore. Developed by Las Vegas Sands (LVS), it is billed as the world's most expensive stand-alone casino property at US$ 5.7 billion, including the cost of the prime land.
Marina Bay Sands is situated on 15.5 hectares of land with the gross floor area of 581,000 square metres. The iconic design has transformed Singapore's skyline and tourism landscape since it opened on 27 April, 2010. The property has a hotel, convention and exhibition facilities, theatres, entertainment venues, retailers, and restaurants.
Marina Bay Sands was one of two winning proposals for Singapore's first integrated resorts, the other being the Resorts World Sentosa, which incorporates Universal Studios Theme Park. The two resorts aimed to meet Singapore's economic and tourism objectives, and have 30-year casino licenses, exclusively for the first ten years.
Bidders were assessed based on four criteria:
tourism appeal and contribution
architectural concept and design
development investment
strength of the consortium and partners
On 27 May, 2006, Las Vegas Sands (LVS) was declared as the winner to develop the Marina Bay site in the prime new business district of Marina South. LVS highlighted its forte in Meetings, Incentives, Conferencing, Exhibitions (MICE). LVS's founder Sheldon Adelson is a pioneer in Las Vegas and the key to his early business success.[3] In the Design Evaluation portion of the tender, a panel of local and international architects commended Sands' design as superior to other bids in terms of pedestrian circulation and layout, and it also fit in with the Marina Bay landscape best. They liked that the hotel towers were set back from the waterfront to open up expansive views of the city and the entire Marina Bay, making the skyline for Singapore's downtown more attractive and distinctive.Construction of the property commenced in early 2007 and was expected to be completed by 2009.
Singapore Tourism Board highlighted Sands' line-up of six celebrity chefs, such as Tetsuya Wakuda, Wolfgang Puck, Daniel Boulud and Mario Batali.
LVS submitted its winning bid on its own. Its original partner City Developments Limited (CDL), with a proposed 15% equity stake, pulled out of the partnership in the second phase of the tender process. CDL's CEO, Kwek Leng Beng said his company's pullout was a combination of factors – such as difficulties in getting numerous companies he owns to comply in time, as well as reluctance of some parties to disclose certain private information in probity checks required by the Singapore government. However, Kwek was retained as an advisor for Sands' bid.
Las Vegas Sands initially committed to invest S$3.85 billion in the project, not including the fixed S$1.2 billion cost of the 6,000,000 square feet (560,000 m2) site itself. With the escalating costs of materials, such as sand and steel, and labour shortages owing to other major infrastructure and property development in the country, Sheldon Adelson placed the total cost of the development at S$8 billion as of July 2009.
Las Vegas Sands declared the undertaking as "one of the world's most challenging construction projects and certainly the most expensive stand-alone integrated resort property ever built". It expects the casino to generate at least $1 billion in annual profit. Two months after the initial phased opening, the casino attracts around 25,000 visitors daily, about a third being Singaporeans and permanent residents who pay a $100 daily entry levy or $2,000 for annual unlimited access. Half a million gamblers passed through the casino in June 2010. In the third quarter of 2012, the revenues of the Marina Bay Sands fell almost 28 per cent from a year earlier.
For the economy, Marina Bay Sands is projected to stimulate an addition of $2.7 billion or 0.8% to Singapore's Gross Domestic Product by 2015, employing 10,000 people directly and 20,000 jobs being created in other industries.
Moshe Safdie was approached to lead the design on this massive project. Taking inspiration from the form of card decks, led to the unique design of the three hotel towers. Other key structures of the property include the 200,000-square-foot (19,000 m2) ArtScience Museum, The Shoppes, Expo and Convention center and the casino. During the resort's planning and construction phases, feng shui consultants, the late Master Chong Swan Lek and Master Louisa Ong-Lee were consulted in regards to divination.
The engineering for the project was headed by Arup and Parsons Brinkerhoff (MEP/ELV). Arup had originally worked on prestigious projects such as the Beijing National Aquatics Centre and the Sydney Opera House. In spite of their experience in constructing challenging designs, the Marina Bay Sands project was described as the 'most difficult to carry out in the whole world' due to the amount of integration of the varied and advanced technologies needed to complete the project.
The extensive background music system was installed by Singapore based contractor Electronics & Engineering Pte Ltd
The Marina Bay Sands hotel has three 55-story towers with 2,561 luxury rooms and suites, which is capped by the Sands SkyPark, which offers 360-degree views of Singapore's skyline. The SkyPark is home to restaurants, gardens, a 150-metre vanishing edge and the world's largest public cantilever housing an observation deck. This architectural marvel stands at the height of 200 metres and boasts 12,400 square metres of space. Dining options at the Skypark include local celebrity chef restaurant, Sky on 57 (by Justin Quek), restaurant and nightclub KU DÉ TA, and executive club lounge The Club at Marina Bay Sands.
To help the Skypark withstand the natural motion of the towers caused by wind, engineers designed and constructed four movement joints beneath the main pools, each possessing a unique range of motion. The total range of motion is 500 millimetres (19.68 inches). In addition to wind, the hotel towers are also subject to settlement in the earth over time, hence custom jack legs were built and installed to allow for future adjustment at more than 500 points beneath the pool system. This jacking system is important primarily to ensure the infinity edge of the pool continues to function properly.[citation needed]
Connected to the hotel towers are the Sands Expo and Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands Casino and The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
The Sands Expo and Convention Centre has more than 120,000 square metres or 1.3 million square feet of meeting space, making it one of the largest and most flexible locations in Asia. It is also the biggest MICE (Meeting, Incentives, Conference and Exhibitions) facility in Singapore, and the ballroom is the largest in Southeast Asia, capable of hosting up to 11,000 delegates. The Sands Expo and Convention Centre has five floors of exhibition and convention space, with up to 2,000 exhibition booths and 250 meeting rooms. It has hosted events ranging from banquets, theater-style conventions, to exhibitions and roadshows.
Located near the Sands Expo and Convention Centre is the Marina Bay Sands Casino. Spanning 15,000 square metres over four levels of gaming, the casino features over 600 gaming tables and 1,500 slot machines along with two noodle bars, The Nest and Tong Dim, and local Chinese eatery, Fatt Choi Express.
Another attraction found at Marina Bay Sands is The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. With close to 800,000 square feet of retail and restaurant space, The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is Singapore's first large-scale luxury shopping mall in the Central Business District with boutiques such as Ralph Lauren, Chanel, Cartier and Prada. Other luxury stores include Salon by Surrender, Gucci, Hermès, Emporio Armani, Chopard, REDValentino, Dior, Dunhill, Vertu, Miu Miu, Saint Laurent Paris, Salvatore Ferragamo, Montblanc, Blancpain, and an Hermès Watch Boutique. Also housed within the Shoppes are the five of the six Celebrity Chef Restaurants – Cut (by Wolfgang Puck), Waku Ghin (by Tetsuya Wakuda), Pizzeria and Osteria Mozza (by Mario Batali), Guy Savoy (by Guy Savoy), and DB Bistro Moderne (by Daniel Boulud).
Other attractions within The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands include a canal which runs through the length of the Shoppes, in the same style as the Venetian in Las Vegas, two Crystal Pavilions, one housing renowned nightclubs – Avalon and Pangaea and the other the world's largest Louis Vuitton boutique. An indoor skating rink (synthetic ice) measuring 6,500 square feet (600 m2) as well as the MasterCard Theatres, compromising of the Sands Theatre and Grand Theatre which seat 1,680 people and 2,155 people respectively can also be found at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.
The MasterCard Theatres has played host to many international acts and plays since its opening, with Broadway smash musicals like The Lion King, Wicked, Annie, and The Phantom of the Opera. Other acts such as Cirque Éloize and A. R. Rahman's Jai Ho, located in the latter during their world tours.
Visitors to the Event Plaza at The Shoppes can enjoy the nightly Wonder Full show, a 13-minute light and water show featuring lasers, lights, water movements and graphics, set against the backdrop of Marina Bay Sands.
Marina Bay Sands is also home to the ArtScience Museum, With a form reminiscent of the lotus, the ArtScience Museum has been called "The Welcoming Hand of Singapore". It features an adjustable roof waterfall which uses rainwater collected when the roof is sealed in the day.
The resort also features an Art Path designed by Moshe Safdie, incorporating 11 installations by five artists including Zheng Chongbin, Antony Gormley, and Sol LeWitt. The 11 art installations were commissioned to integrate seamlessly with Moshe Safdie's iconic architecture. These art installations form the largest art commissions ever completed as part of an integrated architectual proccess

Oliver Hill, Va. counsel for the NAACP (left) and Edwin C. Brown, regional counsel for the NAACP arrive at the Post Office building in Alexandria September 18, 1957 for a hearing on a motion by the county of Arlington to delay desegregation of its school system scheduled for the following week.
Judge Albert V. Bryan issued the stay of his own order to desegregate four Arlington schools, meaning that the system would continue to be segregated. Hill and Brown opposed the stay.
At the time, the state of Virginia required the closure of any school system that admitted Black students to white schools
Initial desegregation occurred a year-and-a-half later on February 2, 1959 when four Black students were admitted to Stratford Junior High School in Arlington, Va. to become the first Black children to enter formerly all-white public schools in the city.
The initial integration of Arlington schools took five years following the U.S. Supreme Court decision of Brown v. Board of Education. The state of Virginia engaged in “massive resistance” to integration with some school systems closing and the state providing aid to all-white private schools.
The state removed the elected Arlington school board at one point when they adopted a modest integration plan in the wake of a court decision.
The court suit that brought about the integration of Arlington schools was initially filed in 1957. Despite the four children entering Stratford in 1959, it would take another 20 years for all Arlington schools to be integrated.
Oliver Hill biography:
Oliver Hill was born in 1907 and spent most of his boyhood in Roanoke, Va. His mother moved to Washington, D.C. while he was a teen where he completed high school.
He worked as a waiter and a porter in order to have enough money to attend Howard University. He ultimately enrolled in the Howard University Law School headed by pioneering civil rights leader Charles Hamilton Houston where he received a law degree in 1933, graduating second in his class. Thurgood Marshall graduated first.
Hill moved back to Roanoke, Va. where his law practice failed during the Great Depression. He then waited tables in Washington, D.C. until he had enough money to open a practice in Richmond.
Hill won his first civil rights case in 1940 gaining equal pay for black teachers in Norfolk, Va.
Hill took on a number of anti-discrimination cases including voting rights, jury selection and worker protections.
He was the. Initial attorney in the Irene Morgan case, a Black woman from Baltimore, Maryland, who was arrested in Middlesex County, Virginia, in 1944 under a state law imposing racial segregation in public facilities and transportation. She was traveling on an interstate bus that operated under federal law and regulations. She refused to give up her seat in what the driver said was the "white section."
The case went to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1946, which outlawed segregation on interstate buses, though the state of Virginia refused to comply—with the exception of some bus companies in Northern Virginia that provided service into the District of Columbia.
He also knew the bitterness of defeat, including the state of Virginia’s 1951 execution of seven young black men in the Martinsville 7 rape case. Every execution for rape in Virginia was a black man convicted of raping a white woman, but his argument on discriminatory sentencing was lost at the time.
However it was also in 1951 that he, along with Spottswood Robinson, took on the case of black high school students in Farmville, Va. in what would become his most famous case.
In April 1951, 16-year-old Barbara Rose Johns “organized a student strike protesting deplorable conditions at segregated all-Black Moton High School in Farmville, Va.,” according to Marian Wright Edelman.
“The school had no gymnasium, cafeteria, infirmary or teachers restrooms. Because of the overcrowded conditions, some students had to be taught in a school bus and in three buildings covered with tarpaper.”
“During the two week protest, involving 450 students, Johns requested legal assistance from the NAACP branch office in Richmond.”
“In May 1951, Oliver Hill and Spottswood Robinson, another member of the Marshall legal team, filed a lawsuit on behalf of 117 students calling for Virginia’s school segregation laws to be struck down.”
“A three-judge federal district court panel unanimously rejected the suit, upholding Virginia’s ‘separate but equal’ policy while ordering the state to ‘equalize’ conditions at the school. The Supreme Court overturned the decision as part of its Brown [v. Board of Education, 1954] ruling.”
However, the story didn’t end there.
Public schools were closed in Prince Edward County in 1959 in order to forestall integration, as part of the state’s “massive resistance” to integration. Private all-white schools were set up with state aid while black students languished.
African American students were left without any public education for four years. Some attended makeshift schools in the county, some attended schools in other parts of the country, while others missed large portions of their education during those years.
Nonetheless, not until 1964, when the U.S. Supreme Court outlawed Virginia's tuition grants to private education, did Prince Edward County reopen its schools, on an integrated basis. This event marked the end of Massive Resistance, but not the end of resistance to integration.
Hill practiced civil rights law through the period in which the state of Virginia sought to outlaw NAACP legal representation as part of its “massive resistance” to desegregation. In 1956 the General Assembly passed a law that broadened the definition of “no solicitation” by attorneys to include NAACP representation of civil rights suits. The law also required the organization to reveal the names of contributors who funded the suits. The contributions section was voided by state courts, but it took until 1963 for the U.S. Supreme Court to rule in favor of the NAACP in the NAACP v. Button case.
He continued his legal career in the face of threats to him and his family and a cross burning on his lawn. By one account the city of Richmond sent emergency equipment, with sirens blaring, every 15 minutes to his house in an attempt to intimidate him.
Hill lost a close election in 1947 in attempting to win a delegate seat to the General Assembly, but the following year won an election to the Richmond City Council, the first Black person since the Reconstruction era to do so.
He was one of the organizers of the Virginia State NAACP and the Old Dominion Bar Association for Black lawyers when the state bar refused to admit African American attorneys.
His civil rights legal career spanned seven decades and he only retired in 1998 because he developed blindness.
Hill received the NAACP Spingarn medal and a Presidential Medal of Freedom after retirement and died at age 100 in 2007 in Richmond, Va.
Edwin C. Brown Sr.:
Edwin C. Brown Sr. was an NAACP regional counsel based in Alexandria and was often the lead on school desegregation cases in Alexandria and Arlington from 1956-58. He also handled other civil rights cases in Northern Virginia.
His career was derailed when he was convicted of income tax evasion, sentenced to prison in 1958 and disbarred after his release in 1959.

Jewish cemetery in Külsheim, Germany
The cemetery is an awesome place for the Jews who call it in Hebrew: Bet ha-chaj (House of the living), Bet ha-kwarot (Hause of graves), Bet ha-olam (Eternal House) and in Yiddish 'Getort' (Good Place). It is a place of 'eternal rest', meaning that no grave can be reused and that there is no end to the use of a grave. Jews only go to the cemetery with their heads covered in respect of the Holiness of this place. Visiting a grave the Kaddisch Prayer is said and as ancient ritual a little stone is put onto the grave as memorial of the visit.
The tombstones in Külsheim stand with their simplicity for equality of all men in death. The few decorative details symbolise religious believes. Blessing hands indicate that the dead was from the tribe of Kohanim (Priests), the jug for someone from the Levites, the ram horn for a shofar player, the circumcision knife for a Mohalim, crowns are a symbol for a respected family name, grapes for a blessed life on earth, representations of animals however, are from more recent times and indicate surnames.
The last line at the lower end of a tombstone is mostly a shortened saying in Hebrew: 'Be his(her) soul bound into the eternal life.'
This cemetery was created in 1658 and is therefore one of the oldest in the region of Franconia (Germany). It was the central Jewish cemetery for Külsheim, Hardheim, Gissigheim, Königheim, Tauberbischofsheim and Hochhausen. The Jewish community paid a tax to the city of Külsheim for the use of the cemetery. The last person was buried here in April 1938.
Dammaged tombstones date from the Third Reich period. 1952 the fence around the cemetery was redone. Today the 'Suprime Council of Israelites of Baden' owns the cemetery.
The location of the medieval cemetery, previous to this one, is unknown. It might have been in the district called 'Paradise'.

Sunday 28th September 2014 saw improvements made by Arriva to their Guildford - Cranleigh - Horsham corridor services.
Previously, the three buses an hour had run as follows:
1x 53: Guildford - Cranleigh - Park Mead - Ewhurst.
1x 53: Guildford - Cranleigh - Park Mead short.
1x 63: Guildford - Cranleigh - Slinfold - Horsham.
This is revised from 28th September as:
1x 53: Guildford - Cranleigh - Park Mead - Ewhurst.
1x 63: Guildford - Cranleigh - Park Mead (double run) - Slinfold - Horsham
1x 63X: Guildford - Cranleigh - Horsham, not via Slinfold.
This increases the service level to Horsham to two buses per hour. In addition, journeys to/from Horsham now run later in the day.
Following Arriva selling their Horsham operations to Metrobus in October 2009, the 63 had extended from Horsham town centre to Horsham Hospital (previously, it ran across town to Oakhill, but this was dropped and given to Metrobus, them running a separate service 65).
As a result of the 28th September 2014 changes, the 63 was withdrawn between Horsham town centre and Horsham Hospital.
Bus stop provision at Horsham rail station is actually quite good, especially southbound, where buses have their own bit of road away from the main road itself. Here's Arriva Kent & Surrey 3930 (GK51 SZJ) seen with a 63 to Guildford, in the company of a Southern class 377.

A United Launch Alliance Delta IV Heavy common booster core is transported to the Horizontal Integration Facility at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station for preflight processing. The Delta IV Heavy will launch NASA's upcoming Parker Solar Probe mission. The mission will perform the closest-ever observations of a star when it travels through the Sun's atmosphere, called the corona. The probe will rely on measurements and imaging to revolutionize our understanding of the corona and the Sun-Earth connection. Liftoff atop the Delta IV Heavy rocket is scheduled to take place from Cape Canaveral's Space Launch Complex 37 in summer 2018.

This is an important concept: that practitioners are integrating something; we are not restoring something. This puts us in a different class from all other therapists that I know of. It takes us out of the domain designated by the word "therapy," and puts us in the domain designated by the word "education." It puts our thinking into education: how can we use these ideas behind Structural Integration? How do we put a body together so that it's a unit, an acting, energy efficient unit? One of the differences between Structural Integration Practitioners and practitioners of medicine, osteopathy, chiropractic, naturopathy, etc., is that the latter are all relieving symptoms. They make no effort to put together elements into a more efficient energy system.
From the first day we see a client, we are putting him together, we are integrating him. We integrate him at the end of his first hour, at the end of his second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth. At every hour before that man or that woman walks out the door, we should have integrated him to the place where he has the best, most efficient use of his system that he can have at that level. at the end of the eighth hour he should certainly have an efficient use of a higher level of operation than he had at the end of the seventh hour or at the end of the second hour. If, in our presentation to the world, enough stress can be laid on this, we will have a certain amount of publicity indicating that we are less therapists than we are educationists. I am not hiding behind a bunch of words here. This is what I mean, this is my goal: an educational process.

This scaly, orangey-yellow mushroom is Fly Agaric (Amanita muscaria—very likely var. formosa). I found it growing on a partially shaded lawn near the entrance of the park's Lower Falls unit.
A beautiful and iconic species, much beloved by illustrators of old-time children's storybooks, Fly Agaric is also famous or rather infamous for its potential lethality. If you come across it, take a good look, but don't collect and eat it.
All you closet Klansmen out there, you would-be Bull O'Connors and George Wallaces, listen up: it is officially time to party! Get out your balloons and confetti, and iron your best white robes, because the Bush Supreme Court has officially declared that racial integration and diversity DON'T MATTER AT ALL. The Bush court says that not only is segregation totally cool (as long as it's the "natural" result of segregated housing areas), it's actively RACIST to oppose segregation. Why? Because racial diversity is AGAINST the spirit of Brown vs. Board of Education.
Yes, that's right--it's against the spirit of the decision that made it possible for children of all colors to go to school together to encourage children of all colors to go to school together. The only way to avoid racism is to DENY it and ignore it and NOT DO ANYTHING TO STOP IT. That's what being "colorblind" is all about!
As the NAACP's Theodore Shaw put it on The Newshour With Jim Lehrer tonight, it doesn't get much more Orwellian than this. This is Civil Rights Lite to the extreme. I think I'm going to be sick.

Just think, Pearl--if it weren't for the landmark Supreme Court resegregation decision of 2007, our little pumpkin might face the BRUTAL racist discrimination of being forced to go to school with those people!
