A crane lifts a United Launch Alliance Atlas V first stage at the Vertical Integration Facility at Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The rocket will be positioned on its launcher to boost the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite, or GOES-S. It will be the second in a series of four advanced geostationary weather satellites and will significantly improve the detection and observation of environmental phenomena that directly affect public safety. GOES-S is slated to launch March 1, 2018.

“The human body is a Divine and beautiful vehicle of expression, a storyteller of sorts. For a dancer to move freely without thought or hesitation she enters a self-sufficient state of bliss, a vortex of magical energy that is very much a trance like state of euphoria. In this meditative space where time becomes still and the dancer’s movements are gateways into otherworldly dimensions, the human spirit is elevated to expand magnificently into the purest of Light and Love. This is the art of hoopdance. This is pure Love.”
— Catherine Flournoy
another image regarding our school district implementing arts into its education program. As a music teacher, I am thrilled to teach a subject that can use as a tool to "teach" and the best way to learn is by doing.
There are many time where we cant remember the gerocery list or a phone number, but can recall a small jingle about credit reports or auto insurance that lodges itself inside your head and wont come out forever.
Why cant we tap into that with our students?
Arts integration. Its what its all about. Adding an element of creativity into education.

Students struck their best b-boy poses and exercised their minds by singing Z, Y, X with Baba Bomani at the SALAbration at Henderson Hopkins.
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.

detail of birdcage...is the bird domed to return to its shadow not yet faded or will it escape the cage forever and the shadow fades????????????????
By the way, I didn't draw it this way. They were originally just thin squiggles. I moved the camera to the side, and it created this effect.

The Tucker is an interesting and innovative car developed in the post-WWII slump. Integrating several safety features now taken for granted and despite intense public curiousity, only 51 of the 48s were ever built before the company shut down over a deluge of negative publicity over the vehicle, a Securities and Exchange Commission investigation and a heavily publicized stock fraud trial. There has been intense speculation over whether political pressure from the Big Three Detroit automakers also played a role in its decline. The Tucker 48 retains a loyal following to this day.
After the end of WWII and the gasoline rationing that came with the war effort, the American public was eager for new consumer vehicles. Having mostly been geared for the war industry, most car manufacturers struggled to generate new designs, and in the immediate post-war years simply recycled old designs from the 1930s. Tucker Export Corporation however took a different track. Preston Tucker was a Michigan native who had long had a fascination with automobile innovation, developing race car engines, then armored cars during WWII with a fast and ergonomic gun turret before finally shifting to a fighter plane. In what would become a pattern however, Tucker's production was expensive and development (probably necessarily) slow, leading to few, if any of the innovative products he developed ever coming off the prototype stage. With the war over and the Big Three Auto manufacturers not interested in new consumer innovations, Tucker quickly jumped in.
In December 1946 he released a completely new car design in Science Illustrated magazine, titled "Torpedo on Wheels". The public was fascinated. The design was so early however that a prototype had not even been completed; final design was completed 6 days later.
The Tucker automobile now contained several actual innovations in auto designs, most famous of which was the third directional headlight soon to be known as the "Cyclops Eye." It would activate at turns greater than 10 degrees and light the way around corners. The car had a rear engine, a perimeter frame and a roll bar, as well as a steering box behind the third axle, all for driver protection. The instruments and controls were all within reach of the steering wheel, the dashboard was padded, and the shatterproof windshield was designed to pop out in an accident.
Another advertisement stating "How 15 years of testing produced the car of the year" came out in March 1947 and now the public was clamoring for the "Tucker Torpedo". Tucker quickly assembled a powerful team of automobile veterans and obtained the massive Chicago Dodge Plant for future production.
Tucker's confidence in his success however hid a lot of production issues, and having created massive public interest he now needed to deliver. As production began on what was called the Tucker 48 after the year it would be released (the original plan to name it the Tucker Torpedo was changed after the company decided it would be bad to remind people of WWII), Tucker continued to tinker with his namesake. Magnesium wheels, disc brakes, fuel injection, self-sealing tubeless tires, and a direct-drive torque converter transmission were originally planned but finally dropped. A custom 9.65L flat cylinder engine that could run 97km/hr at 1000 rpm was worked on for over a year before being replaced by a Franklin O-335 aircraft engine and Tucker was so impressed by it that he bought out the Aircooled Motors/Franklin Engine Company.
To fund his venture, Preston Tucker came out with one of the first speculative IPOs, raising $17 million. With the company continuing to voraciously consume cash, Tucker began selling dealerships and distributorships, then future accessories such as seat covers, radio, and luggage to consumers themselves. This raised the suspicion of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the United States Attorney, who eventually indicted Preston Tucker on charges of fraud. After the official premiere occurred in June 1947, popular journalist Drew Pearson publicly criticized the Tucker 48 as a "tin goose" (in reference to Howard Hughes' Spruce Goose), which could not even back up (though this prototype failing was later corrected). A storm of negative publicity followed, and Tucker stocks crashed even as the SEC indictments became public. Tucker Corporation closed its doors even as Preston Tucker's fraud trial opened up. Only 37 Tucker 48s had been built, though some 300 loyal workers (some without pay) helped complete another 13, which with the prototype made a total of 51.
After a long public trial, the court decided against the SEC, in effect stating that though Preston Tucker burned through a large amount of money, he had always planned on delivering a finished product (which impressed even the prosecution witnesses) and consequently was not committing fraud. The victory was Pyhrric, as the corporation, and the factories, had long since closed.
Of the 51 Tucker 48s produced, 48 of them appear to still be existing, and they have a loyal following, among them Francis Ford Cappola, who made a film about Preston Tucker and the Tucker 48, Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988). On the rare occasion one of the vehicles goes on sale, the auction price has surpassed $2 million. There remain some fervent conspiracy theories that the SEC trial by Otto Kerner Jr. was politically motivated, and that the Big Three paid Drew Pearson and others to draw up negatively publicity to what they would view as a threat to their existence. While the SEC trial was in many was farcical, there has been no clear evidence of this, and for the most part it looked like Preston Tucker was a brilliant innovator who unfortunately over engineered his vehicle before getting it to market and who tried playing smart with funding. Nevertheless, the Tucker 48, with its proud innovative features and its lurid, fascinating history, is certainly a vehicle of profound educational value.
