White Sands Missile Range Museum
On June 5, 1963, President John F. Kennedy visited White Sands Missile Range to watch a series of missile firings. The event was called Project MEWS which stood for "Missile Exercise White Sands."
For Kennedy's visit, the range launched seven missiles against a variety of targets, including another missile, a hillside and several remotely controlled jet aircraft.
To do this, the Army moved the president from Holloman to the White Sands main post and to two different launch complexes before flying him via helicopter to El Paso. You might expect such a happening to take most of a day. Not so.
According to the official itinerary, from the point where Kennedy touched down on the main post to the time he flew away from the missile range was only 139 minutes -less than 2 1/2 hours. The range went through 90 days of preparation for those 139 minutes.
Kennedy, along with Vice President Lyndon Johnson, New Mexico Representative Joseph Montoya and a number of other dignitaries were seated at the parade field at 2:45 p.m. -the hottest part of the day during the hottest month of the year. The range's workforce was invited to this portion and Kennedy talked to them for about 10 minutes.
The official party then went to Launch Complex 32 by car to begin the exercise. The first firing was an Honest John missile. The briefer had two minutes to explain the system's capabilities and what the soldiers were doing to fire it. The missile was fired against a hillside north of U.S. Highway 70.
After that, the Little John and Sergeant ground-to-ground missiles were fired from the same location. Finally, a HAWK air defense missile was launched against an F-80 jet fighter.
The group next moved to Launch Complex 37 where they witnessed a Nike Hercules launch against another Nike Hercules missile, a Navy Talos firing against another F-80 jet and a Nike Zeus launch. In addition, they watched a Pershing demonstration while a soldier pointed out the system's capabilities.
After the demonstrations, representative soldiers from the various missile crews presented the President with a model of the Sergeant missile and the Vice President with a Pershing plaque.
The last thing on the agenda was a 20-minute briefing for just the Presidential party on the Nike Zeus system.
Kennedy is still the only president to visit White Sands while in office.

Golden State Freeway, Mettler, California.
A part of California thought devoid of attraction. But those mountains are the Transverse Ranges, which get crossed by this freeway starting at the Grapevine. In them is camping, wilderness hiking, the largest privately-owned nature preserve (Wind Wolves www.wildlandsconservancy.org/preserve_windwolves.html ), and new National Monuments - César Chavez and Carrizo Plain.

The Remarkables are a mountain range and skifield in Otago, South Island of New Zealand. Located on the southeastern shore of Lake Wakatipu, the range lives up to its name by rising sharply to create an impressive backdrop for the waters. The range is clearly visible from the nearby town of Queenstown.
High point in the range is Double Cone (2340 metres) with Ben Nevis (2330 metres, named after the Scottish mountain of the same name) a little further south in the Hector mountains.[citation needed]
The mountains were allegedly named The Remarkables because they are one of only two mountain ranges in the world which run directly north to south.[citation needed] An alternate explanation for the name given by locals is that early Queenstown settlers, upon seeing the mountain range during sunset one evening, named them the Remarkables to describe the sight.

Range Rover have been working with four Parisian artists who have taken our wireframe as their inspiration and created a range of street installations inspired by the new Range Rover Evoque.
Here’s Yorgo's take on what he created: “Strips of light represent the high levels of testing.”

Otter Creek in the South Range of the Baraboo Ranges of Wisconsin, USA.
The gravel bars in this creek have abundant, large quartzite clasts derived from nearby outcrops of Baraboo Quartzite. The Baraboo Ranges of southern Wisconsin are dominated by this hard, erosion-resistant Precambrian metamorphic unit. These rocks were originally marine sandstones and have been subjected to metamorphism and structural folding. Original sedimentary structures are preserved, such as cross-bedding and ripple marks. Baraboo Quartzites vary in color from pinkish to dark reddish to grayish. During metamorphism, quartz overgrowths formed over the original quartz sand grains. Long-term, modern weathering can result in original sand grains being released.
This unit has economic significance - it has been quarried historically and in modern times. The quartzite is broken down into gravel-sized pieces for use as railroad ballast and erosion-control rip-rap.
Stratigraphy: Baraboo Quartzite, upper Paleoproterozoic, ~1.7 Ga
