Jerrie Cobb: A Love Affair With the Sky

Geraldyn M. "Jerrie" Cobb was one of the first female astronauts recruited by NASA. Although she never flew a mission to space, she made many contributions to space history. Ms. Cobb was born on March 5, 1931 and began flying at the age of 12 in the backseat of a 1936 Waco open-cockpit biplane flown by her father, Col. Cobb. As an adult, she became one of the "Mercury 13" female astronauts.

After high school, Ms. Cobb spent a year in college at Oklahoma College for Women in Chickasha and made her living by crop dusting and teaching navigation. In the early 1950s, with so many male pilots who had returned from the war, it was nearly impossible for her to land a job as a pilot. By the age of 21, Jerry was delivering four-engine military bombers and fighters around the world, and on her way to becoming one of the world's top pilots.

Cobb set several world altitude and speed records in Aero Commander airplanes built by Oklahoma's Aero Design and Engineering Company. When she became the first woman to fly in the world's largest air exposition, the Salon Aeronautique Internacional in Paris, her fellow airmen named her Pilot of the Year and awarded her the Amelia Earhart Gold Medal of Achievement. Life Magazine named her one of the nine women of the "100 most important young people in the United States." She was also honored by the government of France.

History in the Making?

As America began selecting the first astronauts in 1959, Jerrie was picked to be the first woman to undergo the same physical and psychological fitness testing regimen as the Mercury Astronaut Selection Tests. After passing the tests with flying colors, Jerrie was asked to recruit 25 other qualified women pilots for the newly formed NASA. Twelve passed the first series of tests.

After promising her an early space flight, NASA appointed her the agency's consultant for the future use of women as astronauts. However, NASA's requirement that astronauts have military jet test pilot experience eliminated all women since women were not allowed to fly in the military. They kept her grounded for three years and was staggered when John Glenn testified before Congress that "men go off and fight the wars and fly the airplanes," and women are not astronauts because of our social order.

A year later, Russia sent the first woman to fly in space, Valentina Tereshkova, a factory worker. The American space program did not open the ranks of its astronaut corps to women until 1978.

Moving Beyond NASA

Setting her disappointment aside, Cobb resigned from her position with the space agency and became a private pilot in the Amazon jungle. For many years she has found joy and delight in flying over the enormous uncharted jungle, bringing hope, seeds, and help to the people of the region.

Jerrie has received a number of awards:

Amelia Earhart Gold Medal of Achievement

Named Woman of the Year in Aviation

Amelia Earhart Memorial Award

Named Pilot of the Year by the National Pilots Association

Fourth American to be awarded Gold Wings of the Federacion Aeronautique International, Paris, France

Named Captain of Achievement by International Academy of Achievement

Served 5 years as a Consultant to the Federal Aviation Administration

Selected by the Mercury Astronaut Selection Team to be the first, and only, woman to undergo and successfully pass all 3 phases of Mercury astronaut tests (1960)

Appointed consultant to NASA

Honored by the government of Ecuador for pioneering new air routes over the Andes Mountain and Andes jungle

Awarded the Harmon International Trophy for "The Worlds Best Woman Pilot" by President Nixon at a White House ceremony

Inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame as "the Most Outstanding Aviatrix in the US

Received Pioneer Woman Award for her "courageous frontier spirit" flying all over the Amazon jungle serving primitive Indian tribes

Nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize

After Senator Glenn returned to space, Ms. Cobb hoped to fulfill her lifelong dream of flying in space. As she put it, "I'd give my life to fly in space. I would have then, and I will now."

Unfortunately, she never did, but she did set many milestones for later astronauts to meet.

Welcome to Courtney Mroch's Home on the Web!
Hi there! Thanks so much for stopping by. I've sort of fallen off the fiction-writing wagon for the past several years. I'm currently trying to climb back aboard.
Part of the trouble is I have so many book ideas, and so many of them started, that I flit from one to the next when I make time. This, I have discovered, is a horrible method for trying to complete any projects. I need to pick one and stick to it.
That leads me to my other big problem: I'm so indecisive I find it difficult to pick just one.
These two devastating bad habits do not a good, prolific, writer make. I am striving to correct that. Creating a new courtneymroch.com site was one way to try and inspire myself. With such a nice place to showcase my work, it's about time I add to what I can advertise here, right?
However, I haven't been entirely dormant either. I've developed a couple of sites, Haunt Jaunts and Alien Invasion Zombie Apocalypse Fitness, and hone my writing (and research) skills there.
So…I'll sign off here. May my next post come quickly and with news of an acceptance somewhere!

"Increased funding and important reforms could allow the federal government's Abandoned Mine Lands cleanup program to fuel economic recovery in communities hard hit by the mining industry's downturn, a coalition of coalfield citizen groups said in a report released Wednesday," Ken Ward reports for the Charleston Gazette.
The organization, AML Policies Priorities Group, "urged Congress to pump more money into the program, extend a coal industry tax that funds the cleanups and focus spending on Appalachian states, where the most abandoned mines are and where communities have been hard hit by mine closures and layoffs," Ward writes.
The report states: "Due to the fact that a majority of the country's abandoned mine sites lie in Appalachia, the transition in this region is vital context for AML reform. The region is experiencing unprecedented economic decline, environmental damage and inequality. An economic transition in Appalachia is inevitable, and in that inevitability communities see an opportunity to create a new economy that is just, sustainable, and works by and for Appalachians." (AML graphic)
"As part of his proposal for the 2015-16 federal budget, President Obama proposed spending another $1 billion over five years from the AML program," Ward writes. "That money would be targeted for projects based on economic factors, such as the unemployment rate of coal-mining regions and the number of remaining abandoned mines, where reclamation projects are linked to 'job-creating economic development strategies that would help revitalize impacted communities,' the White House has said.
So far, congressional committees have moved forward with only a $30 million pilot project for such spending, a figure that coalfield citizen groups say isn't nearly enough." (Read more)

Once the owner of a business has overcome the obstacles that lie in their way to the exit door, what is actually involved in going through that door?
Businesses that have previously been on a "buy and build" strategy will be well used to the acquisition process, but many owners will only ever be involved in one sale process. Business owners in this situation rely heavily on friends and contacts that have been through the process before. In many cases, those friends and contacts can paint an unflattering picture! So what is actually involved? Is it as time consuming and stressful as many indicate?
Generally, the various stages in any acquisition or disposal can be broken down into six main phases:
- Pre- due diligence
- Due diligence
- Documentation
- Pre- closing
- Closing
- Post closing
In Part 1, we look at the first three phases and the issues that arise.
Pre- due diligence
Headline price
Before letting a potential buyer inside your business, it is important to establish at the outset the price range they are prepared to pay, or at least the method by which the price will be calculated. From a combination of financial information that is publicly available and additional (non-sensitive) information supplied by the business owner, a potential purchaser is usually able to give an idea of likely price. There are likely to be a number of assumptions being made when calculating this price and it will be important for the business owner to understand the nature and extent of these assumptions.
In addition to the actual headline price, how (and when) that is payable is a key consideration for a business owner, and should be discussed at an early stage with a potential buyer. An owner will usually want to get as much consideration in cash as soon as possible. A buyer will usually look to defer as much of the price as possible (issues in relation to deferred consideration and "earn outs" will be covered in future publications). Given the number of issues that need to be considered if consideration is deferred or subject to an "earn out", it is vital that a business owner understands whether this is the buyer's intention.
Knowing your buyer
Every business owner understands that a buyer will want to know as much as possible about the business it is buying before the sale completes, but not every owner will realise the importance of knowing the buyer. If there is any deferred consideration, will the buyer be good for the cash? If there is an earn out, do you trust the buyer to act in good faith during that period and not manipulate the short-term profits to reduce the price payable? If the owner is continuing in the business for a period after completion, can you work with the buyer? Consider speaking to the owners of previous businesses that have been bought by the buyer.
Due Diligence
Later topics will cover this subject in more detail but, in essence, this is the process where the potential buyer takes a very close look at the business it is thinking of buying to make sure it is getting what it expects and that there are no nasty hidden surprises lying in wait that will reduce the value of the business after completion.
The process itself is likely to involve the business owner's advisers setting up a "data room" where the key information that the buyer has asked to see is provided. These "data rooms" are now frequently online virtual data rooms. This can be a very time consuming process and the more organised the business is, generally the easier this process will be. Usually, during this process the business owner does not want too many of its employees knowing about a potential sale. This can have an impact on the information gathering and often puts a greater burden on the owner. It is usually worth considering bringing some colleagues into the process to help ease that burden (it is only so often you can use the excuse "the auditors need the information"!).
Some key things to bear in mind for a business owner during this phase:
- Always have robust confidentiality agreements in place with the buyer BUT remember - if there is any sensitive confidential information that could significantly disadvantage the business if the buyer does not buy the business, don't disclose it to the buyer until you are happy that a sale is very likely.
- Don't try and hide any of your skeletons. Trust is very important to buyers. If they think they can't trust you, there is a real risk of the deal not proceeding or that the due diligence is much more detailed and prolonged that it might otherwise have been.
- Have clear lines of communication and responsibility.
- Know what you are passing across. If there are any skeletons, make sure you know you are passing across a skeleton!
Assuming that due diligence has progressed well, the buyer will then move to producing the first drafts of the main deal documents. Depending on timescales (and the buyer's confidence that it won't uncover any nasty surprises), the documentation is often produced at an early stage in the due diligence process so that negotiation of the documents can take place whilst the due diligence is ongoing. In most cases it is going to be the buyer's lawyer who produces most of the deal documents.
Don't underestimate just how much documentation is going to be involved and how long it might take to agree. The main document is of course going to be the acquisition agreement but ancillary documents (particularly those that rely on third parties' consent, such as banks or other funders) can play a very important role, and failing to address issues arising in relation to these documents can have a dramatic impact on the timetable. If possible, you (and your advisers) want to avoid negotiating key documents at the last minute – preparation and planning is critical to avoid this and a detailed timetable and responsibility list should be prepared – and adhered to. When appointing advisers, it is worthwhile asking them for a list of documents that are likely to be required. This will give you an idea of what is likely to be involved and may also indicate to you how experienced your adviser is regarding disposals or acquisitions of businesses.

text: OK, final attempt to get this working. I have a launch Wii, which was fitted with a Wiikey1, which is at firmware 1.9s. I tried NSMB on it, after 1 or 2 levels a black screen pops up which reads "An error has occurred. Please remove the disc and reset your Wii" (not literal as I have a Dutch Wii, so this is my translation). I understood this has to do with Wiikey 1 not being able to run NSMB. So I followed the softmodding guide here, which worked like a charm (never done that before). So I now have the HBC, NeoGamma launcher, WAD Manager, a bunch of cIOS stuff (whatever that is), Wii FW 4.2E, in short: the works. So then I tried NSMB again, still the same error. I then tried launching via NeoGamma R7, still the same error. I then updated to NeoGamma R8B15, still the same error after a few levels. Burned NSMB again to be sure, didn't help either. My question is simple: I still have the Wiikey fitted. Does it need to be removed to avoid detection by NSMB, or have I done something wrong with the softmod? Are there any people with a Wiikey fitted who CAN run NSMB? I get mixed replies in other threads, so I started this thread to finally get an answer. Can anyone please shed some light on this?

But a short drive from Thomas Jefferson's estate at Monticello lies the mansion of his friend, presidential successor and fellow Virginian, James Madison, whose Montpelier stands to this day as a testament to the "Father of the Constitution."
It was here at Montpelier that Madison spent time in his library reading about the history of democracies while mulling over a new form of republic to be born, as well as where he and his beloved wife Dolley retreated when his term in the White House came to an end in 1817 — five years after British forces invaded the nation's capital and burned the original Executive Mansion and nearby Capitol.
As the Blue Ridge Mountains get ever nearer on the drive southwest from Washington, unassuming signs direct the tourist toward Madison's home in what was once virginal American frontier land. (As Jefferson's secretary of state, Madison helped expand the size of the young nation with the Louisiana Purchase.) Turning off of a nondescript highway in Orange, Virginia, the visitor drives up through property roads that allow the first views of the mansion set back in the grounds.
From the a parking lot, it's a short walk to the front entrance of the mansion, where a docent greets us to impart a primer of the property's history, from its settlement by Madison's forbears on up through its sale by Dolley in the aftermath of her husband's 1836 death in order to settle some substantial family debts — after which she returned to the recently rebuilt Washington City to live out her remaining days among the many friends she had made while first lady.
You will also learn how the property's final private owner, Marion duPont Scott of the DuPont dynasty, decreed upon her death that the home would be bequeathed to the public good so that everyone could experience the home as the Madisons had lived in it. The National Trust for Historic Preservation has owned and operated the home since Scott's death in 1983, and millions of dollars have since been spent to recreate the Madisons' decor as close to their intentions as possible.
Our amazing guide, April Bertaux, not only discusses the history, but also applies her theater training to approximate the dramatic tones of many of Madison's and Dolley's private letters. She also, in a thoroughly stirring moment, recites the final words Madison was alleged to have said on the morning of June 28, 1836, when asked by one of his nieces what was wrong:
"Nothing more than a change of mind, my dear," he said before passing into history at the age of 85.
For all of Madison's many accomplishments — author, statesmen, crafter of the Constitution and president — it is also undeniable that he benefitted from the unpaid labors of hundreds of slaves he owned over the course of his life, including his personal manservant, Paul Jennings. April informs us that while Madison himself envisioned a day when slavery would be eradicated from the American character, he refused to free his own slaves before his death.
A new exhibit to open in June, "The Mere Distinction of Colour," will detail the history of the generations of slaves owned by Madison as well as his father and grandfather. Historians have been working in concert with the "descendent community" to tell the entire story of Montpelier, from its famous owner to the hundreds who tended the grounds, fed the animals and otherwise kept the estate running for the nation's fourth president.
Until that exhibit opens, visitors can amble over to the slave graveyard, which holds the remains of many of the Madisons' slaves in unmarked graves. But a short walk from there is also the final resting place of James and Dolley, as well as several of their ancestors and descendants. A signpost also provides a rough estimate of the dimensions of the original home on the site built by Madison's grandfather, Ambrose Madison. (In an ironic bit of history, Ambrose was poisoned by his own slaves and died in 1732.)
After seeing additional exhibits in the visitor center and on the second floor of the home, it's a must to pop by the local Barbecue Exchange-run Exchange Cafe in the visitor center for some rather stellar barbecue food, which one would not think to find this far out in the woods, but here is the delicious proof as ham-and-cheese sandwiches, pulled pork and desserts await after a few hours of learning.
Make sure to also amble through Dolley's treasured gardens, as well as see the horse stables installed by the DuPont family.
It will be a day well spent — with a fine meal to cap it all.

Balfour's Intensity Workshop is a 3-day immersion training in all things YEARBOOK. Yearbook advisers, editors and staff are welcome to attend the workshop, which will be held Saturday, Sept. 26 – Monday, Sept. 28 at the Balfour Yearbook Publishing Plant in Dallas, Texas.
Your classroom time features a lineup of award-winning advisers and Balfour experts who are in tune with industry trends and yearbook award standards. These fine folks will help you and your students polish & refine the plans for the 2016 yearbook. Intensity instructors include:
Jen Bladen has been a yearbook professional since 1998. In San Diego, California, she was adviser at a public high school, and then she was a sales rep for Taylor Publishing Company (now Balfour) for six years. In Los Angeles she was adviser to the Pacemaker Finalist and Silver Crown-winning Harvard-Westlake School's yearbook for nearly a decade. While teaching, she earned her master's in journalism education at the University of Missouri, Columbia. She is now a full-time yearbook consultant based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Judi Coolidge retired from teaching after 35 years at Bay High School in Ohio and has worked as part of Balfour's education and marketing team for the past nine years. She has been developing educational resources for Balfour (Taylor) since 1986, including Balfour's Yearbook Curriculum and the online Elements of Yearbook. The books she advised won 28 All-Americans and Gold Medals, NSPA Pacemakers, CSPA Trendsetter and Gold Crowns and a Publisher's Industry Award. Coolidge received NSPA's Pioneer Award, CSPA's Gold Key and JEA National Yearbook Adviser of the Year. She is in the Great Lakes Interscholastic Press and the Scholastic Journalism halls of fame and a Martha Holden Jennings Scholar.
Kel Lemons is a newspaper and yearbook adviser at Rouse High School in Leander, Texas. She's been teaching for 11 years and before that, was a newspaper photographer at the Waco Tribune-Herald. Her books have won Stars, Crowns and Pacemakers, but she's more proud that she's survived her 10th book. She loves being on the sidelines for football games, picking out new fonts, and creating killer designs. When she's not self-absorbed in yearbook insanity, she watches Law & Order reruns, reads Entertainment Weekly cover to cover and works on endless house projects.
Leland Mallett is the newspaper, yearbook and assistant broadcast adviser at Legacy High School in Mansfield, Texas. He has advised for 14 years. In that short time, he has been recognized with the Edith Fox King Award from the Interscholastic League Press Conference, Trailblazer award from Texas Association of Journalism Educators and was named ILPC's Max R. Haddick Teacher of the Year in Texas. Legacy's online newspaper and yearbook have won Crowns and Pacemakers in the few years the high school has been open. He also specializes in social media. Leland loves the art of telling stories in any media. But really, he's most proud of his three kids – of whom he'll proudly provide a plethora of photos for your personal enjoyment.
Michael Pena is a high school photography and graphic design teacher at Deer Park ISD in Pasadena, Texas. Pena helps high school students find a passion for photography and graphic design. As an instructor and public speaker, Pena takes on the role of counselor, mentor, and most importantly being a good role model for today's youth. After all, he was voted most friendliest for his senior class.
Kristi Rathbun has advised student media for nearly 20 years, currently at Rock Canyon High School in Highlands Ranch, Colorado. Her students' publications have earned state and national honors, including NSPA Pacemaker Finalist and CSPA Silver Crown awards. Rathbun is a 2014 JEA Distinguished Adviser and was awarded JEA's Medal of Merit in 2007.
In addition to learning from nationally recognized trainers, networking with peers and refining your yearbook, attendees will be in Dallas during the opening weekend of the annual State Fair of Texas, which celebrates all things TEXAN.
You and your staff can choose to take in the sites, rides, live music and check out the world's largest Texan, Big Tex. Enjoy deep-fried concoctions such as Holy Moly Carrot Cake Roly, Deep Fried Peaches & Cream, Chicken Fried Bacon and much more.
Attendees will stay at the conveniently-located DoubleTree by Hilton Dallas — Love Field, which is just across the street from Love Field and 10 minutes from downtown Dallas.
Balfour's Intensity Workshop will rock your world and your staff's world. The 3-day immersion in all-things-yearbook will help you and your staff create the yearbook of your dreams. Don't delay. Register here.
To find out more about Balfour's Intensity Workshop and determine if it's suited to your staff's needs, contact your Balfour representative.

This demanding position will scorch lots of plants badly. However, if you pick a subject with leaves that are aromatic, silver, hairy, or finely divided, the chances are it will thrive in open sun on well-drained soil once the roots are established. Pinks, or dianthus, love this open situation better than anything. There are hundreds to choose from, but good whites (like the iconic 'Mrs Sinkins' of 1868) are few and far between.
Dianthus 'Memories' (described as a refined form of 'Mrs Sinkins') was only launched at Chelsea last year and was just beaten into second at the Plant of the Year 2012. It's a clove-scented white but the petals are held more tightly without the split calyx typical of 'Mrs Sinkins'. The flowers are full and flouncy with crimped, or pinked, edges, hence this plant's name. Pink didn't become a colour until the late 17th century.
'Memories' was raised by Whetman Pinks, a family firm that specialises in dianthus. They produce five million plants on their Devon nursery every year and have an extensive breeding programme. Other Whetman pinks include 'Brilliant Star' AGM (a maroon-eyed single white) and the full-flowered cyclamen-purple 'Devon Wizard' AGM.
Young pinks often produce one flowering stem and this is best removed to encourage more basal growth and bushiness. Pinks also become ragged in time and then they can succumb in winter. In spring, cut back hard any leggy growth and new growth will appear by early May.
It is also a good idea to take "insurance" cuttings. Choose non-flowering pieces, strip the lower leaves and plunge the stems into coarse horticultural sand, or a mix of compost and sand. Whetman's website has helpful videos.
From good garden centres and Whetman Pinks (01626 863328). A donation of 5p from each sale of 'Memories' (up until December 31) will be made to the Alzheimer's Society

Paperback books first appeared in the United States around 1845. They virtually disappeared when the Copyright Act of 1891 banned the reprinting of English titles in paperback form.

By about 1980, about 70% of the books published in the U.S. are paperbacks.

This was a good day for brownies! We had about half a jar of our Triple Caneberry Fruit Spread that was a perfect match for warm, fudgy chocolate. The Triple Caneberry spread is made with three types of Oregon blackberries, a splash of local rum and Organic brown sugar (it gives it a rich, molasses flavor). Try this spread with brownies, cupcakes, with brie or on fresh bread. If you want to purchase a jar, we're hoping to have it in our online shop soon and will be offering it at markets and events this summer!
Easy Brownies with Triple Caneberry Fruit Spread
- 1/2 + 1/8 cups vegetable oil
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 duck eggs (or 3 chicken eggs)
- 3/4 cup flour
- 1/3 cup + 1/8 cup cocoa powder
- 1/4 tsp + 1/8 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/3 cup Mt. Hope Farms Tripe Caneberry Fruit Spread (this recipe would also be delicious with our Raspberry-Marionberry and Premium Spiced Marionberry Fruit Spreads)
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and lightly grease an 8 x 8 square pan.
- Mix together the oil, sugar and vanilla extract.
Slowly add eggs to sugar mixture, one at a time, until fully combined.
- Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt in a separate mixing bowl. Slowly add to the sugar and egg mixture until fully combined, being careful not to over mix.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, making sure to spread it evenly.
- Dollop fruit spread on top of the batter and gently swirl into the chocolate (creating a marbled effect).
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking with a toothpick for doneness at 25 minutes. Ours were still gooey at about 27 minutes.
- Allow brownies to cool for at least 5 minutes before serving

Pascal's Wager
One thing that all atheists agree on (just kidding, all atheists don't agree on anything except the absence of deities) is that if you ask us Pascal's Wager we'll think you're an idiot. Especially if you think you're being original. … Continue reading

Neptune Discovered
It was one year ago that Neptune was discovered–one Neptunian year, that is. One year on Neptune is equivalent to 164.79 years on Earth. That is one long year. Neptune is the farthest planet from the sun (sorry, Pluto) and was … Continue reading

I'm slowly modifying a 99 Cobra convertible. I recently bought a Borla ATAK cat-back system. I have to say the sound and additional power has transformed my 13 year old Cobra. The sound is incredible, the best on the market. Yes it is pretty loud when you have a heavy foot, but when you drive it easy it's fairly tame. The fit and finish of my Borla exhaust is second to none. I highly recommend a Borla system!

Taking off the old exhaust and installing the mufflers was a breeze. Not so easy with the tail pipes though. Had the jacks on 2 blocks of wood and still couldn't get the right angle to install them. My mechanic did it real quick once it was on a lift. Sounds awesome, but has some drone.

Vibration Station Dimension Conversation
Dave Cohen (a.k.a. Davie Crockett) and I shared this conversation about our dualistic dimensions and dizzying dimensionality on 19 July 2015, on his LA Talk Radio show. We started our talk by looking at space and time … and ended up exploring our universally shared origin of Oneness. 🙂
(2) Websites, Books, Videos, Imagery, Music and Quotes
- Martin Gray's "Places of Peace and Power" website is always a visual treat for virtual visits to vibrant parts of the planet; his commentary adds to the appreciation of egalitarian inclusiveness, encouraging compassion, tolerance and kindness, since we're all in the same Culture! 🙂 … and shifting the scale from terrestrial to both extremes of space:
- Reality doesn't exist until we measure it, quantum experiment confirms – Doesn't it seem that most of the time, we still act as though modern physics never happened? 🙂 "… reality does not exist if you are not looking at it."
- Six Things Everyone Should Know About Quantum Physics (another quick slideshow reminder that, as Werner Heisenberg said, "Not only is the universe stranger than we think, it is stranger than we can think."
- Some physicists believe we're living in a giant hologram — and it's not that far-fetched … we probably won't see 'unconscious guilt' as the underlying purpose for the universe in physics books any time soon, but it's still interesting to follow how modern physics keeps leading inexorably back to the mind. 🙂
- Fellow geometer, Ed Kellogg alerted us to these interesting-looking books: A Mathematical Space Odyssey: Solid Geometry in the 21st Century and Thinking Geometrically: A Survey of Geometries
- … as well as this page about DNA Origami
- ESPL: Dances of the Planets – We've featured John Martineau's solar system geometries before, but it's been a while; here are some elegant illustrations of a few of his discoveries; thanks to Nancy B. for sending this our way.
- A short video about the vector equilibrium from Nassim Haramein's organization: "The Tree of Life expresses the geometry of the fabric of the vacuum of space."
- This video: Hexagonal Grids in Art History by Ryan Murtha explores the idea of hexagonal recursive underpinnings behind numerous art classics. Update (30Dec2015): Check out Ryan's new website GeometryAndTheology.com
- I suspect many more of us than just John Horton Conway (inventor of the mathematical "Life" game) and myself have had polyhedral 'stalactites' adorning our abodes over the years.
(3) Request for Submissions
If you like to color with colored pencils (or other media), make 3-D fold-up geometric art, do stained glass, quilts, geometric arts and/or crafts, or just want an extensive reference/resource of geometric archetypes, patterns and essential line art, you might enjoy a copy of my first book, Sacred Geometry Design Sourcebook: Universal Dimensional Patterns.
If your leanings are more metaphysical … and perhaps whimsical 🙂 … you might enjoy my second book, The Geometry Code: Universal Symbolic Mirrors of Natural Laws Within Us; Friendly Reminders of Inclusion to Forgive the Dreamer of Separation. It was originally going to have geometry and Hermetic Laws/symbolism as a primary focus, but in 2007, a reawakened interest in the spiritual masterpiece, A Course In Miracles – thanks to Gary Renard – shifted the primary emphasis to an exploration of the two thought fundamental systems we all vacillate between, and how we can gradually shift our mind's identity to the happy one.

Check Out This Brand New Remix Of Major Lazer's 'Be Together'
Vanic just dropped a remix for Major Lazer's song "Be Together" featuring Wild Belle, taken from their newest album Peace is the Mission. Vanic's version doesn't deviate far from the source material, keeping the original's best features largely intact, while introducing some interesting new ideas to the production.
Wild Belle's gorgeous vocals retain their prominence in the song, but Vanic juxtaposes them against a soaring lead synth melody that occupies the same range as her singing. Splashes of acoustic instrumentation find their way into the mix as well, with plucked guitar strings opening the song and brittle piano appearing behind Belle's voice.
Vanic shows restraint on the rhythm front throughout the verses, only bringing up the energy during the builds and instrumental drops which serves the song well.
Give this new remix a listen below...

I was blessed to be born into a family of book lovers. "Books are our friends," I was taught. And libraries and schools across the country are celebrating the love of books this week through the Read Across America program, initiated in honor of one of the best-loved authors who ever put pen to paper, Dr. Seuss.
On this Wednesday is Friends Day, let's look at six lessons we bloggers can learn from our friend, Dr. Seuss:
"Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened."
Theodore Seuss Geisel took on the pen name after he was fired as editor-in-chief of the Dartmouth College humor magazine, The Jack-O-Lantern, for violating national prohibition laws. He converted this "can't" situation into a "can" by brainstorming a way to solve his dilemma.
When things don't go as we planned or when a project we've worked hard on is suddenly jerked out from under us, how do we react? It's hard to smile because it happened and let it go, but that's a motto we can all apply to not just our writing, but our lives.
"Kid, you'll move mountains! Today is your day! Your mountain is waiting. So…get on your way!"
Another obstacle he turned to opportunity was the rejection of his manuscripts for children's books. And To Think that I Saw It on Mulberry Street was rejected over two dozen times. Dr. Seuss spread his never-give-up attitude through the many notable quotes sprinkled throughout his works.
What's holding you back in your blogging? Push that mountain out of your way and get on your way!
"So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads."
(Excerpt from Wikipedia): "In May 1954, Life magazine published a report on illiteracy among school children, which concluded that children were not learning to read because their books were boring. Accordingly, William Ellsworth Spaulding, a textbook editor at Houghton Mifflin who later became its Chairman, compiled a list of 348 words he felt were important for first-graders to recognize and asked Geisel to cut the list to 250 words and write a book using only those words. Spaulding challenged Geisel to 'bring back a book children can't put down.' Nine months later, Geisel, using 236 of the words given to him, completed The Cat in the Hat."
Uh-oh. Readability is something most writers struggle with. No wonder The Cat in the Hat is the poster child for children's literature. It was created specifically to entice young readers to enjoy reading. Use simple words and use them well. Wow — I have a lot to learn from Dr. Seuss!
"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself, any direction you choose."
Dr. Seuss wrote about many issues in his books, but he once stated he never began his children's books with a moral. "Kids can see a moral coming a mile off," he said. But those who read his writings can see him encouraging young readers to think for themselves and not get caught following the status quo. (Read The Sneetches and If I Ran the Zoo.)
"Today you are You, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You"
It's easy to recognize a Dr. Seuss book. He had a distinctive voice. Some writers spin their wheels attempting to mimic the voice and style of other writers, yet when a group of blog readers was polled, the number one reason they gave for returning to their favorite blogs was this: They liked the blogger's personality.
There's no one youer than you. Be yourself.
"And will you succeed? Yes indeed, yes indeed! Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.
No matter what your personal goal in blogging is, the only thing that can prevent your success is quitting. That one and one-quarter percent risk margin of failure only comes if you quit. So, keep on blogging, and yes, you will succeed!
Until next time,
Happy blogging!

Bill Huizenga and Dean Vanderstelt disclosed campaign fund raising to the Federal Election Commission. Huizenga raised nearly a million dollars, while Vanderstelt raised twenty thousand. On the surface, the money may appear to favor Huizenga, but it's important to pay attention from whom the candidates receive their money.
Bill Huizenga is running for a third term in Congress. His financials look impressive, until you dig deeper and discover most of his money comes from a few people and companies, and they're related.
Individual members of the DeVos family gave Huizenga $5,000 each. This contributes to a large portion of his contributions, but it still only shows us part of the picture. The DeVos family also runs a company called Amway/Alticor, and Amway donated $21,600 to Huizenga's campaign this year. There are other contributions from Steelcase in Grand Rapids, Haworth of Holland and members of the Haworth family giving Huizenga money. In fact, Huizenga enjoys a larger war chest thanks to these very rich people and their corporations donating money to his campaign. And we also can't forget the PACs.
Dean Vanderstelt on the other hand has raised money through small individual contributions. The DeVos family is not giving Vanderstelt money. The Haworth family is not giving Vanderstelt money. The Koch Brothers are not giving Vanderstelt money, but they did give Bill Huizenga money. Dean Vanderstelt's contributors are individuals living in the 2nd District and money from the Michigan Democratic Party. No PACs have contributed to Dean Vanderstelt either. Just individual people, who Congressmen are supposed to represent in Washington DC.
The DeVos family are responsible for Michigan becoming a freedom to freeload state. The DeVos empire is devoted to union busting in Michigan and it was their behind the scenes check writing in December of 2012 that pushed Michigan legislators to vote in favor of a law that the DeVos family benefits from. Patrick Colbeck bragged about the money flowing from the DeVos family into the chambers of the Michigan Capital. The DeVos family are also responsible financially and politically for Michigan being a leader in for-profit charter schools, using organizations such as GLEP to push for eliminating public education in Michigan.
So as you look at this information on who is giving these candidates money one thing is for certain; Bill Huizenga represents the DeVos family et al when he is in Washington. Dean Vanderstelt will represent the people of Michigan's 2nd District. Do the people of the 2nd District want someone on Washington who only represents the DeVos family, or do we want someone who represents all of the people of the 2nd District? My choice is obvious, The 2nd District deserves someone who respresents the people, not the DeVos family's large bank account. Your vote for Dean Vanderstelt will make sure all of the people in the Michigan's 2nd District are represented in Washington.

How It Works
The Centennial Beer Chase is a one-day six-person running relay of approximately 50 miles, consisting of 12 legs of varying distance (3-7 miles per leg). The course starts from Spokane and runs the Centennial Trail as the backbone of the course, jogging off (see what we did there??) for exchange points at local craft breweries, finishing in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. On a 6-person team, each person runs 2 legs; On a 3-person team, each person runs 4 legs… you get the idea.
Each time you exchange at a brewery, you will have the option to enjoy a 3-4oz sample of beer. This is not required, but we expect many people to enjoy this opportunity. Every team must have a designated driver that is not drinking until the van is parked for the last leg of the race.
Never run a relay before?!
We can almost guarantee this won't be your last! You will need one race vehicle – we recommend a 12-passenger van, mini van or suburban. If you are a solo runner or pair, a driver will be needed. With teams of 3-6, a driver is optional. Your entire team starts together in Spokane. The first runner takes off to run their leg, and the van jumps ahead to the first exchange point to drop off the 2nd runner and pick up the first runner. This continues for 12 legs. The "inactive runners" – the runners in the van – play a support role: stopping (safely) along the course to cheer on runners, providing your runner with water, making sure they navigate confusing turns, etc. At the finish line, you will get to enjoy our very own brewfest featuring beers from all of our partners along the course!
Teams are self-supporting, which means they carry their own water and food during the race. We do not have aid stations and water stops every mile, as you can imagine how difficult it would be to coordinate that feat across 50 miles! We do provide aid in critical areas that teams may not be able to reach their runner or walker; these are noted in the race guide.
Perhaps the most unique aspect of a relay like the Centennial Beer Chase is the team aspect of running an event like this provides. Running is often a solitary sport, but in a relay, it's all about your team. After the relay portion of the race then teams have the opportunity to run together through some of the Inland Northwest's best breweries. Our teams get into the spirit by creating elaborate team names and themes, wearing matching outfits, participating in contests, having spontaneous dance parties, cheering on fellow runners, and decorating their vans. The Centennial Beer Chase is a race, a celebration, and a vacation all wrapped up in one day of running. We invite you to discover what this race is all about, and why teams run a Cascade Relay event year after year!

How he beats you: The 12th-year veteran still ranks among the best in the league, having recorded 35 catches for 589 yards (11th in the NFL). Smith boasts a 16.8-yard-per-catch average, which ranks eighth in the league. And his 84.1 yards per game average ranks ninth in the league.
"He's a hard worker, hard-nosed, tough, physical, fast, and he just finds ways to make plays," Redskins cornerback Josh Wilson said of the five-time Pro Bowl receiver. "Cam [Newton] is getting him the ball, and he's got strong hands, goes up and gets it, and has great concentration."
Smith routinely gives the Redskins fits. Last season, he had seven catches for 143 yards in a 33-20 win over Washington.
In addition to his great skill set, Smith has a fiery nature that fuels him whether while running pass routes or blocking on run plays.
"He's definitely competitive. He's going to get into it," Wilson said. "You'll watch on film sometimes and it has nothing to do with the play, and he's wrestling in the background. He'll definitely get physical with you, and you have to be ready to dish it right back to him."
How to stop him: As Wilson indicated, one of the biggest keys is to match Smith's intensity. A cornerback must go at Smith with a wide range of techniques, and can't sit back and try to react to whatever the receiver throws his way.
"You have to be on your P's and Q's every play. Can't fall asleep at all," Wilson said. "You get back there and get comfortable and he'll take advantage of you. You can't sit here and play 70 plays the same way. You have be able to change it up, keep him off guard, and make sure he's reacting to you and you're not reacting to him."
The only problem is, Smith has been playing in the NFL for so long, that he has seen pretty much every coverage there is, so it's hard to throw him off.
"Steve Smith's been doing it for a long time. He's a savvy vet, and he knows all the tricks to the trade," fellow corner David Jones said. "At the end of the day, you try to do the best, and try to limit the big plays. But Steve Smith, he's going to bring his A-game, and you know you have to bring yours as well."

Recordered on 16319.9 KHz (cf) at 1505z on 20 October, just a few seconds transmission then nothing more for over one hour (playback duration). The signals is a clear FSK with manipulation speed of 125 Baud and 300 Hz shift: these parameters are the same of the Tadiran HF2000 125bd FSK Modem (radioreference.com) but I do not have other evidence to confirm this guess so comments are very welcome (by the way, the recording is available).
