This is my collage representing arts integration. This is previous students and each image is a child using the arts to learn another subject matter while discovering more about a specific art form. These art representations include music, movement, theatre, and visual art in various ways. This is close to my heart and when I see these children in their moment of discovery through artistic influence, I truly see arts integration work.

"SA-500F (alternately SA500F, 500F, or Facilities Integration Vehicle) was a dummy Saturn V used by NASA to test facilities at Launch Complex 39 at the Kennedy Space Center on Merritt Island, Florida during 1966.[1] Tests included the mating of the Saturn's stages in the Vehicle Assembly Building (VAB), the fit of the service platforms, the launcher-transporter operation, the propellant loading system, and the test connections to the mobile launcher and support equipment.
"Its three stages duplicated the flight configuration, ordnance, and umbilical connections of their live counterparts. Although inert, the retrograde rockets, ullage rockets, and shaped charges had the dimensions of the live ordnance to let the launch team practice ordnance installation. The first stage only had one real F-1 engine, and the inter-tank section between the first and second stages had a different paint scheme than flight vehicles. It was stacked on Mobile Launcher 1 in VAB Bay 1 with the Apollo spacecraft facilities verification vehicle boilerplate.
"500F was rolled out to Pad A on May 25, 1966. On June 8, it was rolled back to the VAB temporarily as Hurricane Alma passed, though the ground crew supposed the rollback was more of an exercise than necessity because winds remained below critical for the entire storm. Facility checkout culminated with a "wet test" to verify storage and transfer of propellants
"500F was destacked on October 21, 1966. The first stage, S-1C-F, was returned to the Marshall Space Flight Center and was eventually scrapped.
"The second stage, S-IIC-F, was reassigned as a dynamic test stage at Marshall in early 1967 as S-II-F/D for use in the dynamic test vehicle SA-500D. It is now displayed as part of the Saturn V at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center.
"The third stage, S-IV-B-500F, had been manufactured as a dummy third stage for the smaller Saturn IB and used to check Saturn IB launch complex facilities. It was then modified to meet the Saturn V third stage configuration for 500F. In 1970, it was modified into the Skylab Workshop Dynamic Test Stage and was shipped in December to the Johnson Space Center for dynamic testing. In June 1971, it was shipped to Marshall for Skylab workshop static testing; and in June 1974 it was returned to KSC. Its fate is not known." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SA-500F

Taken along the footpath to Vesuvius' Gran Cono summit. Facing south-southeastward.
Ah, that Mediterranean haze. It's the product of the local atmosphere's high aerosol (suspended particle) count. That in turn can be due to various factors, including the automotive and urban pollution no doubt present this close to the Neapolitan megalopolis. But the main cause reportedly is dust blown northward from the Sahara Desert. The grand result of all these tiny floating bits of matter is the region's milky, misty, opalescent air.
In the left foreground we see a small stretch of the volcano's relatively steep western flank. On the Gran Cono, rocks and pumice shards generally have an angle of repose of about 30 degrees from horizontal. According to my own highly sophisticated measurement technology—a plastic protractor pressed against my PC screen—the lower slope is almost exactly that, with the upper portion being up to 40 degrees or so.
Far far beyond that crunchy, crumbly surface lies the city of Castellammare di Stabia, facing the Gulf of Naples. The Pompeii archaeological complex is also partially visible, I think, at far left behind the upper section of the slope.
The high ground on the horizon is the eastern side of the Sorrento Peninsula. It's composed of Mesozoic-era limestones with some Quaternary pyroclastic deposits wafted in from you-know-where.
Speaking of slopes, if you've ever driven around the Sorrento area, you know how vertiginous its peninsula's hillsides are in many places. With all those hairpin turns and tight bends around projecting masses of rock, it's not a good place for drivers to take their eyes off the road.

Two U.S. Air Force Rockwell B-1B "Lancers" assigned to 37th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron, deployed from Ellsworth Air Force Base, South Dakota, fly alongside two Koku Jieitai (Japan Air Self-Defense Force) F-15s over the vicinity of the East China Sea, Sept. 9, 2017. Following the end of the operation, one B-1B flew to Misawa Air Base, Japan, to be a static display for the Misawa Air Festival, while the other B-1B returned to Andersen AFB, Guam. The integration of our aerial platforms with our allied nations advance and strengthen the long-standing military-to-military relationships in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.

In 1970, British Rail closed the line between Bolton and Rochdale via Bury. SELNEC PTE hadn't really got into its stride or it would have surely objected; and had it survived to the present day, it would probably be busier than it has ever been. Even so, the axe fell and the line closed in October 1970.
Most towns on the route were well-served by buses, or by railway lines that remained open; but the township of Little Lever was hard done by, with no link to a railway and few bus links. The lack of a railway rankles with the inhabitants of the town to this day.
Greater Manchester Transport attempted to provide a remedy by creating 'Lever Link' - a bus service between Farnworth and Radcliffe railway stations, calling at Little Lever on the way. Buses were timed to meet trains on the lines to Bolton and Bury, and it was marketed for the commuter trying to reach Manchester. Special yellow blinds and slip boards were produced, and for a time it was popular. But by 1983 ridership had waned as people got into their cars, adding to the congestion they railed against. The Farnworth station link disappeared first, in August 1983, and the remaining Little Lever to Whitefield service - no longer with special yellow blinds - carried on until deregulation in 1986 when, like so many services, it was swept away.
Even so, it was a brave attempt to provide a social service and to promote it. In this view, Greater Manchester Transport 7103 rests ('lays over' in bus terminology) at Farnworth station, with the Rawson's Arms Hotel on the left. This has also disappeared, replaced by housing. You can just see the railway through the railings on the right, and that remains - electrified and with the station much improved since the photo was taken.
Lever Link, the pub and bus 7103 are long gone, but an identical bus to this, SELNEC 7001 on 1972, is restored and on display at the Museum of Transport, Greater Manchester. If you'd like to know more about the Museum of Transport and its collection of vintage buses and many documents, photos and other materials, go to www.motgm.uk.

Looking more or less northward. Taken from the park's River View Trail.
The bridge visible above the falls is part of State Route 61, the main coastal road from Duluth to Ontario.
This was the first North Shore state park I ever visited. At that time I remember thinking, "If the rest of the way to the Canadian border looks like this and has this much geology and botany, I'm going to be in heaven." As it turned out, I wasn't disappointed. And Gooseberry makes the perfect point of entry for the whole experience.
This photo is a good introduction to this site for a number of reasons. For one thing, it captures two of this property's five waterfalls. For another, it gives a decent long-range view of the North Shore Volcanic Group basalt flows over which the Gooseberry River spills on its way to Lake Superior. And then again, it's a nice family portrait of the locale's predominant tree species.
The two cascades visible in this image are the Middle Falls and the Lower Falls, and I trust you can figure out which is which. The bedrock under and around them dates to the end of the Mesoproterozoic era. It began about 1.1 Ga ago as mafic lava flows that poured out of fissures onto the stretched and faulted floor of the Midcontinent Rift.
That huge breach, often abbreviated to MCR, extended across Laurentia (ancestral North America) in a great horseshoe shape from at least Kansas up to the Lake Superior region, and then down again to southeastern Michigan, and perhaps all the way to Alabama.
One consequence of the MCR's eruptive activity is the bedrock you see in this park. It comes in three varieties: basalt, more basalt, and even more bloody basalt. But this unrelieved expanse of dark-toned igneous stone constitutes only a tiny fraction of the MCR's total lava output, which may well have been as much as 2 million cubic km (about 480,000 cubic mi).
As far as the North-Woodsy trees here go, the predominant softwood, evergreen, and conifer is that lover of Great Lakes shorelines, Arbor Vitae (Thuja occidentalis). It's also known as Northern White Cedar, though a true cedar it isn't. It's joined by the most common hardwood in view, the white-barked Paper Birch (Betula papyrifera).
Part 19 of this series shows the Arbor Vitae in remarkably intimate association with the North Shore Volcanic Group.
