Lotte and Hans Ritter
Date: May 26, 1917
Source Type: Postcard
Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Unknown
Postmark: June 9, 1917, Crown Point, Indiana
Collection: Steven R. Shook
Remark: On the reverse of this postcard is written the following message to Joseph Griffith of Crystal, Michigan: "Dear Friend, Just got home from work and bought this card for you to see what the cyclone did at Hebron only 16 miles from us.... Marie." On May 26, 1917, northern Illinois and Indiana experienced a significant weather event spawning a tornado that caused significant destruction. The storm system spawning the tornado began at 3:10 pm in Mendota, Illinois, and traveled at a rate of approximately 40 miles per hour. The storm headed in a primarily easterly direction with a very slight southern tilt, traveling just north of Elwood, Illinois, then between Crown Point and Cedar Lake, Indiana, through Hebron, and then ending in Kouts at 5:56 pm. Intense darkness was reported by those directly in the path of the storm. In Illinois, hail stones from the storm system were measured to be the size of hen's eggs, while in Porter County hail stones measuring six to ten inches in circumference and one-half pound in weight were reported to have fallen thickly in the area. Property loss in Porter County alone was estimated to $500,000 (approximately $8.4 million in 2008 dollars). In Porter County, the mile wide tornado killed two individuals, D. B. Resh, an old farmer, and fifteen year old Julia Lane. Numerous livestock were also killed, twelve family dwellings were destroyed, and significant timber and orchards in the path of the twister were heavily damaged or destroyed. The Porter County Red Cross, which was founded just one month before this tornado (April 26, 1917), raised $2,000, while the American Red Cross appropriated $3,000 to Porter County for contingency relief. These funds were used to assist forty families in Porter County.

The lead Javelina quickly reversed course and ran back into the shrubs when another vehicle came down the road in spite of my efforts to get it to stop.

G-BNLV, operating as Speedbird 217 Heavy, decelerates on 19C at Washington Dulles. When Boeing was developing the 747-400 in the 1980s, Rolls Royce was keen on getting a piece of the action and developed a higher thrust variant of their three-spool RB211 turbofan for the 747-400. This engine was the RB211-524G with 56,800 lbs of thrust. To clich the 747-400 order for British Airways, RR had to to take the same engine and adapt it for the 767-300s British Airways was also getting with the provision that the engines be swappable between the 767-300 and 747-400. So RR pushed the thrust further to 60,600 lbs of thrust with RB211-524H. The -524H also came to be used on the 747-400 as the higher thrust meant a heavier payload more or less. In the 1990s the conceptual successor to the RB211 came, the Trent engine, specifically the Trent 700 developed for the A330. The Trent 700 had a better fuel burn than the RB211-524G and -524H and the Trent's HP core could be swapped out with the -524G/H's HP core with some relatively simple modifications. This improved the performance and fuel burn of these RB211 variants and the engines modified were designated RB211-524G-T and RB211-525H-T with the "T" signifying the use of the Trent high pressure core.
Over 25,000 march October 8, 1977 against a lower court decision in favor of Allan Bakke, a white student denied admission to the University of California Davis medical school who challenged the use of racial quotas to address discrimination.
The Supreme Court was scheduled to take up the case October 12th.
October 8th was designated as a national day of protest with large rallies taking place in Oakland, St. Louis as well as Washington, D.C.
Prior to the use of quotas, institutions such as colleges and workplaces struggled with low percentages of African Americans. UC-Davis medical school set a quota of 16 slots reserved for minorities out of a total of 100 freshmen admitted.
Bakke had scores that rated above the average admitted to the school and sued after twice being denied admission.
The case became one of the first to establish so-called “reverse-discrimination.”
The U.S. Supreme Court, in a widely split decision, found in Bakke’s favor and outlawed quotas to address racial discrimination. It upheld the use of race as a factor, thereby permitting affirmative action programs to continue.
According to some studies since the Supreme Court decision, progress in achieving racial parity essentially flat-lined. African Americans have held steady, or in some instances declined, in the percentage of students attending highly rated schools.
Critics point to the Bakke decision as the beginning of the end of racial progress in the U.S.
