You know, I seldom mix modern with vintage Halloween pieces, but this year I have created a whole display section to doing just that. Much of what we are looking at here is the art of Matthew Kirscht, the little clip on candles to the right are Lori Rudolph's of Retro Rudolph, and the tiny compo JOL to the left is vintage. These old and new pieces go so well together.

I don't know if Crowded House were on tour in the UK when the songs four seasons in one day and weather with you were written but it wouldn't surprise me. I thought I was on for a glorious sunset but that big old ball of gas was teasing and I trudged home. En route my inner child was taken by the kite waving in the wind to scare the birds and I watched it for a while before moving on again. The light was now low and as I carried on to my left there was suddenly this giant face looking at me from the trees. Never have I been equally in awe of a piece of art as I have been startled in the same breath. Hopefully I will get a shot when there is better light as I don't think this quite does it justice.
Black students in Poolesville, Maryland in Montgomery County board a school bus September 5, 1956 for a ride home as the first schools were integrated in the county following the 1954 Brown v. Board of Education decision.
The integration and equalization of education opportunity has proved elusive in the years following the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision outlawing so-called “separate but equal” facilities.
Initial desegregation orders produced less than the promise of equal education. Twenty years after the Supreme Court decision, federal court orders to achieve equal educational opportunity through school busing also produced little as relatively wealthier white parents moved out of counties and cities where busing was ordered, depriving local jurisdictions of tax revenue and thwarting integration of schools.

This slide, and the next several in this series were taken on the hazy summer day a shipmate and I drove up to the Vesuvius parking lot and then climbed the trail the rest of the way to the summit.
After a lot of noodling around on Google Earth Street View, I'm convinced that this photo documents our approach to Vesuvius from the south-southeast. We were probably on the main access road to the summit (Via Cifelli), or somewhere else nearby. Consequently, we're facing north-northwest.
Mount Vesuvius is one of a chorus-line of volcanoes, stretching from Tuscany to Sicily, that is sometimes called the Campanian Volcanic Arc. It marks a major plate boundary involving the subducting African Plate and the overriding Eurasian Plate.
This famous fire-mountain, which in AD 79 pyroclastically buried such Imperial Roman communities as Pompeii and Herculaneum, is a classic stratovolcano in that it's composed of alternating layers of lava and ash. Stratovolcanoes are characteristically steep-sided and especially dangerous due to their propensity for erupting explosively and violently.
And they're usually made of felsic or intermediate igneous rock types—rhyolite, andesite, and so forth. But in this respect Vesuvius is somewhat weird, in that its prevailing rock varieties are basaltic tephrite and intermediate phonolite, and intergradations of the two (tephritic phonolite and phonolitic tephrite, believe it or not.) This unusual geochemistry may be the result of there being a slab window—a gap due to breakage in the descending African Plate—that permits mantle-derived magma to rise to the surface.
Vesuvius is in fact a younger stratovolcano nestled within the shattered remnants of an older, known as Mount Somma. From this perspective, the relationship between the two is not apparent, but I'll next post some views of both the Somma caldera rim and Vesuvius' Gran Cono (Large Cone, which is also nicely visible here).
And botanically speaking: in the foreground, and marching up the lava-flow slope, is a forest of Stone Pines (Pinus pinea). The magnificent umbrella crown of the freestanding specimen at left is typical of the species. No other tree has done more to define the Italian landscape.
I also really like the Stone Pine's taxonomic name, which translates to something like "Piney Pine" or "Really Pinelike Pine," with the implication that it is the one member of its genus to which all other members must be compared. However, I'm also partial to the much loftier Eastern White Pine (P. strobus) of my own native land, which has been recorded to grow to over 200 ft (61 m) tall. Earlier today I was sitting across from one growing in a neighboring yard, and I contemplated its architectural majesty and sheer pineyness. But of course I diverge, in my lateral-minded way.
The other photos and descriptions of this series can be found in my Integrative Natural History of Mount Vesuvius & the Gulf of Naples album.
The revolutionary era of education speaks out its belongnings to technologies in all subjects and in all levels. This integration of technology in education has challenged all educational philosophies beacuse it is rapidly changing.

The Postcard
A Comic Series postcard published by Bamforth & Co. Ltd. of Holmfirth, Yorkshire. The artwork was by Taylor, and the card was printed in England.
The card was posted in Plymouth on Tuesday the 3rd. September 1963 to:
Reg, Fred and Dot,
c/o James Blackford,
Scrapyard,
Fifth Road,
Newbury,
Berks.
The message on the divided back of the card was as follows:
"3/9/63.
Dear All,
Having a marvellous time,
the weather is pretty good
with very little rain.
On Sunday we went for a
sea trip from Plymouth to
Looe and back.
There was a bar on the
boat so we were all right.
Yesterday we went to
Paignton which is where
we got the card, and today
we went on the Hoe.
Love John".
The Crash of Swissair Flight 306
So what else happened on the day that John posted the card to Reg, Fred and Dot?
Not a great deal else of interest happened, but on the following day, the 4th. September 1963, all 74 passengers and 6 crew on board Swissair Flight 306, a Caravelle jet airliner on its way to Rome via Geneva were killed when the aircraft crashed shortly after take-off from Zürich. The crash was the result of an in-flight fire leading to hydraulic failure and loss of control.
(a) The Crash
Zürich Airport was in dense fog when the plane was due to take off at 06:00. At 06:04 the flight was allowed to taxi to runway 34 behind an escorting vehicle. At 06:05 the crew reported that they would taxi halfway down runway 34 to inspect the fog and then return to the take off point. This was done using high engine power in order to disperse the fog. Around 06:12 the aircraft returned to runway 34 and was allowed to take off, which it did 06:13, and started to climb to flight level 150, its cruising height.
Four minutes later people on the ground noticed a white trail of smoke coming from the left side of the aircraft. Shortly after, a long flame erupted from the left wing. Around 06:20 the aircraft reached a height of about 2700 m. At 06:21 a MAYDAY message was issued. The aircraft then began to descend, entering a gentle left turn before losing height more quickly. It then went into a final, steep dive.
At 06:22 the aircraft crashed into the ground on the outskirts of Dürrenäsch, approximately 35 km from Zürich Airport.
(b) Probable Cause of the Crash
The subsequent investigation determined that the aircraft's brakes had overheated due to the application of full engine power during taxiing. This caused the magnesium wheels to burst, one of them on the runway prior to departure.
Upon retraction of the landing gear, the hydraulic lines in the gear bay were damaged. This was caused either by the wheels that had exploded, or the bursting of the other wheel rims during the climb.
Subsequently, spilled hydraulic fluid ignited when it came in contact with the overheated landing gear rims. The fire damaged the gear bay, followed by the wing. Finally losing its hydraulic pressure, the aircraft became impossible to control.
The cabin and the cockpit were filled with smoke, adding to the predicament of the crew. Control of the aircraft was lost totally at around 06:18, and the ensuing final dive and impact destroyed the aircraft.
(c) Safety Modifications Resulting From the Crash
As a result of this accident, all Caravelles were modified to use non-flammable hydraulic fluids.
(d) Casualties and Aftermath of the Crash
The crash severely affected the small village of Humlikon in the Canton of Zürich: 43 of its 217 citizens (20% of the population) had boarded the plane to visit a farm test site near Geneva.
Among those who perished were the entire local council, all members of the local school board, and the village's post office clerk. A number of children who were orphaned were looked after at home by relatives. There were 74 Swiss nationals on board as well as two Americans (one dual citizenship with Iran), one Briton, one Egyptian, one Israeli, and one passenger either from Belgium or Austria.
Further problems arose with the upkeep of the local farms, but people from the nearby villages helped. Apprentices came from local firms, students, firemen, soldiers, boy scouts, railroad workers and policemen, as well as volunteer school children, and even from abroad to help. Approximately 600 tons of potatoes were harvested manually, corn was threshed and the new crop seeds were sown in time. Just over a month after the crash, a new council was elected by the 52 remaining eligible voters in Humlikon.

Shown here is a label from Case 1 of the "'The Inevitable Present': Integration at William & Mary" Exhibit located in the Marshall Gallery (1st Floor Rotunda) and the Read & Relax area of Swem Library at the College of William & Mary, on display from February 4th 2013 to August 13th 2013
The following is a transcription of the label text:
Like all students applying to William & Mary at the time, Willis was required to include a photograph of himself with his application. In a 2005 oral history interview with Jenay Jackson ’05, Hulon Willis’ wife Alyce, who had encouraged her husband to apply to William & Mary, recounted that upon receiving his acceptance letter in March 1951, she wondered if the photograph had fallen off his application. But a few weeks later, William & Mary released a public statement, announcing that Willis was the first African American student admitted to the institution. Willis was accepted not because the institution was opening its doors to all potential African American students, but because of the case brought by Gregory Swanson against the University of Virginia in 1950 after he was denied admission to the university’s School of Law. The U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Swanson could not be barred from admission because of his race. Willis was pursuing his master’s degree specializing in physical education and since that program of study was not offered by a state-supported institution accepting African American applicants, William & Mary could not decline to admit Willis based solely on his race. The college established a procedure to confer with Attorney General J. Lindsay Almond, Jr. in Richmond on the admission of African American applicants beginning in the 1950s. William & Mary specifically wished to avoid a court case, while some, like A. W. Bohannan, who wrote to President Pomfret in May 1951 after Hulon Willis’ admission, saw forcing applicants to take the institution to court as the next step in preventing integration.

John "JC" Carver, a payload integration engineer with NASA Kennedy Space Center's Test and Operations Support Contract, opens the door to the growth chamber of the Advanced Plant Habitat (APH) Flight Unit No. 1 for a test harvest of half of the Arabidopsis thaliana plants growing within.
The harvest is part of an ongoing verification test of the APH unit, which is located inside the International Space Station Environmental Simulator in Kennedy's Space Station Processing Facility. The APH undergoing testing at Kennedy is identical to one on the station and uses red, green and broad-spectrum white LED lights to grow plants in an environmentally controlled chamber. The seeds grown during the verification test will be grown on the station to help scientists understand how these plants adapt to spaceflight.
