“Test sphere mounted on the end of the third stage of the Vanguard rocket at Cape Canaveral, Florida. The 3¼-pound, 6.4-inch sphere, designed and built at the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, D. C., has six antennas and two radio transmitters capable of sending signals to tracking station on the ground hundreds of miles away. The six rectangular objects on the surface of the aluminum sphere are solar batteries which will power the radio transmitters.”
Note the reflections in the satellite…a parking lot, with cars visible. So, possibly taken at the NRL prior to shipment to Cape Canaveral, or somewhere on Cape Canaveral (other than LC-18) during preflight testing, inspection, transport…or not. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Much more amusingly...although it might not've been "flight-rated", and merely used here to temporarily secure the satellite, check out the good, old-fashioned hose clamp! Regardless, I LOVE IT.
Hmm...note in this diagram that the "shaft" to which the hose clamp is attached, is indeed part of the satellite/launch vehicle, labeled as the "SEPARATION MECHANISM". Maybe it did fly:

I remember seeing this photograph, or variants of it, in countless books, magazines, etc., from childhood on. Hence, a very nostalgic photograph for me. And now, seeing it for the first time at such high resolution, a very nice photo indeed.

"Vanguard Test Vehicle 3 (TV3) was the first U.S. attempt to launch a satellite into orbit around the Earth. It was a small satellite designed to test the launch capabilities of a three-stage launch vehicle and study the effects of the environment on a satellite and its systems in Earth orbit. It also was to be used to study micrometeor impacts and to obtain geodetic measurements through orbit analysis. The IGY Vanguard satellite program was designed with the purpose of launching one or more Earth orbiting satellites during the International Geophysical Year (IGY).
At launch on 6 December 1957 at 16:44:34 UT at the Atlantic Missile Range in Cape Canaveral, Florida, the booster ignited and began to rise but about 2 seconds after liftoff, after rising about a meter, the rocket lost thrust and began to settle back down to the launch pad. As it settled against the launch pad the fuel tanks ruptured and exploded, destroying the rocket and severely damaging the launch pad. The Vanguard (Vanguard 1A) satellite was thrown clear and landed on the ground a short distance away with its transmitters still sending out a beacon signal. The satellite was damaged, however, and could not be reused. It is now on display at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum.

The exact cause of the accident was never determined, presumably it was due to a fuel leak between the fuel tank and the rocket engine, possibly due to a loose connection in a fuel line or low fuel pump inlet pressure allowing some of the burning fuel in the thrust chamber to leak back into the fuel tank."

Con el objetivo de sistematizar el avance en la implementación del Programa Conectar Igualdad a nivel nacional se reunieron en Buenos Aires los Coordinadores provinciales del Programa, referentes jurisdiccionales de Evaluación y Pedagógicos, autoridades nacionales a cargo del desarrollo del Programa y funcionarios del Ministerio de Educación de la Nación. En el encuentro de tres días se planificaron las acciones para el segundo semestre de 2011.
Durante las jornadas, de las que participaron referentes de todas las provincias del país, la asesora de la jefatura de gabinete del Ministerio de Educación para el Programa Conectar Igualdad, Cynthia Zapata, remarcó la importancia de realizar este tipo de encuentros “para poner en común los avances en la implementación y seguir adelante con el trabajo cotidiano en forma coordinada y en función de los objetivos planteados a nivel nacional. Pudimos compartir con el equipo todas las cosas que se hicieron en este primer año de funcionamiento de Conectar Igualdad y planificar las que tenemos por delante.”
Patricia Pomiés, Gerenta de TIC y Convergencia de Educ.ar, señaló que esta reunión fue “una buena oportunidad para seguir construyendo estrategias nacionales y potenciar las regionales. En el encuentro compartimos y creamos espacios de dialogo nuevos y fijamos metas a mediano y largo plazo, para acompañar al sistema educativo y las familias”. Desde el Portal educ.ar se generan contenidos educativos, herramientas para trabajar en el aula y se brindan capacitaciones virtuales a los docentes. Más de 5000 recursos educativos están reunidos en los Escritorios para el alumno, el docente y las familias que vienen incorporados a las netbooks del programa y que educ.ar desarrolló.
Participaron también de las jornadas Alejandro Lucangioli, coordinador de Fortalecimiento de los Equipos jurisdiccionales del Programa y Carolina Añino, coordinadora nacional de Seguimiento y Evaluación de Educ.ar para Conectar Igualdad, entre otros.
Añino remarcó que este encuentro fue “una oportunidad de generar una visión común sobre la evaluación como un proceso de aprendizaje, para así conocer la forma en que la tecnología y la educación se encuentran en cada provincia y en cada escuela. En este sentido, es una ventaja que el programa cuente con equipos jurisdiccionales y es importante conocer su experiencia para el trabajo de evaluación”.
En el primer año de vida del programa doscientos cuarenta mil docentes de todo el país ya participaron de las distintas instancias de capacitación, iniciación digital y sensibilización realizadas por el programa en todo el país, muchas de ellas a partir de las propuestas desarrolladas por el Portal educ.ar en su oferta gratuita de cursos virtuales.
On January 30, 2019, City of Laredo Municipal Court Judge Jesus M. Dominguez announced the First Amnesty Program allowing citizens to clear their outstanding warrant and traffic violations. Judge Dominguez is offering the amnesty program from February 19, 2019 through March 8, 2019. This includes all cases pending, capias warrants, arrest warrants, capias pro-fines, and DPS Omni warrants.
Municipal Court clerks are available to help the public with any information they may need. Individuals that would like to know the total amount of fines due before the amnesty program begins may visit the court, located at 4610 Maher Avenue. Individuals with outstanding warrants that appear for court will not be arrested. In order to qualify for this program and possibly be cleared of the outstanding debt, individuals must be prepared to pay at least half of the amount of their outstanding fine. However, final determination of the amount to be paid is on a case-by-case basis as decided by Judge Dominguez.
It is very important that the public take advantage of the amnesty program. Municipal Court does have a warrant division that issues and executes warrants on a daily basis; therefore, it is always best that individuals visit the court and take care of their outstanding cases.
Reminder to all, Municipal Court holds court sessions twice a day, morning and afternoon. Individuals that would like to take care of their outstanding cases may appear for court between 8am - 9am for the morning session, or between 12pm – 1pm for the afternoon session.
Speaking to a packed audience of Yale alumni, early American history buffs and JHC members on December 3rd, Yale Professor and Hamilton scholar Joanne Freeman deftly proved that "Dirty, Nasty Politics" is not a new phenomenon in America. Drawing upon her own exhaustive research of primary congressional papers and 18th century diaries, she contrasted the measured, respectful decorum of George Washington's presidency with the almost laughably subversive, reputation-smearing tactics of Federalists and Republicans more than two centuries ago. Using the campaign of 1800 as a lens, Freeman explained how former friends and nation builders, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, became bitter adversaries when their policy views collided.
So desperate were these two patriots to steer the republic in opposite directions, she said, that their attacks upon one another got very personal. Freeman revealed how reputations were smeared with zestful diatribes about hidden agendas and moral integrity; Jefferson fans decried Adams to be a fool and wannabe monarch while broadsides printed by the Adams camp inflamed public opinion by suggesting that voting for Jefferson was blasphemy "...the only question to be asked by every American, laying his hand on his heart, is 'Shall I continue in allegiance to GOD - AND A RELIGIOUS PRESIDENT; or impiously declare for JEFFERSON - AND NO GOD!!!'" The secret foreign sympathies of the two candidates were also cause for alarm - Jefferson too easily embraced the French Revolution whereas Adams was rumored to want to attack the French and arrange for his daughter to marry into George III's family. But perhaps the most outrageous stunt during the highly negative campaign was an attempt by the Adams faction to kill Jefferson's ascent by spreading the rumor that he was dead!
Other members of the founding brotherhood like Alexander Hamilton were drawn into the intrigue. Hamilton brazenly asked fellow New Yorker John Jay to manipulate the voting process mid-election but Jay ignored him. In the middle of this insanity, Jay was "a voice of reason!" according to Freeman.
With her obvious passion and thorough grasp of the political hurricanes of the 1790s, the audience could readily see why Broadway director and Hamilton star Lin-Manuel Miranda admires Freeman. Freeman's book "Affairs of Honor" as well as her scholarship on nuances of this politically tumultuous period absolutely inspired Miranda when he wrote his new smash musical; he called her collection of Hamilton's writings a "touchstone."
The free talk was co-sponsored by the Yale Westchester Alumni Association and generously funded with a grant from Con Edison. It is just one of several programs in early American History on JHC's 2015 - 2016 calendar. Historian Joseph Ellis is scheduled to speak in the spring about his new book "The Quartet."

The Fall 2010 Student Hackathon brought in hundreds of students from 30 universities to NYU's Courant Institute for 24 hours of creative hacking on New York City startups' APIs.
Selected startups presented their technologies at the beginning of the event, and students formed groups to brainstorm and begin coding on their ideas. Many students worked into the night, foregoing sleep to fulfill their visions.
On Sunday afternoon students presented their projects to an audience including a judging panel, which selected the final winners.
hackNY hosts hackathons one each semester, as well as a Summer Fellows Program, which pairs quantitative and computational students with startups which can demonstrate a strong mentoring environment, a problem for a student to work on, a person to mentor them, and a place for them to work. Startups selected to host a student are expected to compensate student Fellows. Students enjoy free housing together and a pedagogical lecture series to introduce them to the ins and outs of joining and founding a startup.

This were one of few shots from Rollei Prego 30 with film I unloaded from Minox 35 midroll after I discovered my repair attempt isn't too successful and shutter isn't closing (but I still got some pictures before problem returned). My Prego 30 overexposes - I learned this from previous rolls so I modified DX code of Paradies 100 (Kodak Gold?) film to ISO200 and think this is the way to use it.

Young people learn life skills through DARE program
By Rick Scavetta, U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern
LANDSTUHL, Germany – Juggling red balloons symbolized life’s many challenges during graduation for a Drug Abuse Resistance Education program held recently at Wilson Barracks.
Fifth graders were helping Lt. Col. Lars Zetterstrom, commander of U.S. Army Garrison Kaiserslautern, juggle several red balloons. A blue balloon was tossed in, representing drugs and alcohol, to show the difficulty of keeping life’s balloons aloft with an added impairment.
Spontaneously, Zetterstrom tapped the blue balloon to the floor and popped it with his desert-colored combat boot.
“I saw that it represented something bad,” Zetterstrom said. “Stomping it out was the right thing to do.”
Lessons like that are what the DARE program is about. Since 1983, DARE has taught millions of students worldwide about the effects of alcohol and drugs. Each April, "National DARE Day" is commemorated in the United States by a presidential proclamation, community events and activities.
In Kaiserslautern Military Community's fours elementary schools, students complete 10 lessons over several weeks, working from DARE planners.
Weekly lessons often include acting out skits on peer pressure and watching videos about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
Landstuhl’s graduating class was the first for Army Sgt. Raymond Engstrom, 29, of Cottage Grove, Minn., a garrison military police officer. The thought of facing children in classrooms each week was daunting at first. Yet, Engstrom knew the importance of DARE discussions and began enjoying the classes.
“You learn to have fun with it,” Engstrom said. “They’re just young people. I always refrain from calling them kids or students. I’d say “people about your age.”
Over the past few months, Engstrom has developed significantly, said his supervisor, Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Rouse, the provost marshal operations sergeant.
“He’s ran with it,” Rouse said. “Now he’s very interactive with the kids, parents and school staff. And I think he enjoys it significantly.”
During the graduation, held at Landstuhl Regional Medical Center’s Heaton Auditorium, Zetterstrom said he was proud to see Army noncommissioned offer leading the DARE program
“We’re American living overseas. We want our children to have the best education possible,” Zetterstrom said. “Learning is not always about academics, it’s about life skills and that’s what DARE does.”
