Natural disasters

Typhoon Haiyan

Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as "Yolanda") passed over Nabunot, along with the rest of Panay, on November 8, 2013, causing heavy damage. Once the storm passed, the British naval ship  came through and assessed damage. On 16 November 2013, they observed that while many large building on the island had weathered the storm, several small structures had collapsed. The typhoon had also destroyed boats and trees. A shore party from HMS Daring returned to Nabunot on 21 November 2013, where they repaired five fishing boats, built temporary shelters, and cleaned out a room on the island school. The shore party also reported that potable water was being shipped in from Panay and two people had been advised to seek medical treatment for respiratory tract infections.

title: Haim Goldberg (Haggai)

text:
Haim Goldberg (; ; 1888 or 1890, Łuków, Siedlce Governorate, Russian Poland – 1943, Białystok Ghetto), also known by the artistic name Haggai (), was a Warsaw Jewish-Polish graphic designer, photographer, illustrator and printer, as well as a Yiddish and Hebrew writer and poet.

Biography

Haim Yisroel Goldberg was born in the town Łuków in Siedlce Governorate, Russian Poland (nowadays in the Lublin Province in Poland) in a Hasidic family, the son of Feige (née Nissenbaum) and Zalman Goldberg. He received a traditional Jewish education and studied in a yeshiva in his hometown, but as he showed artistic talents, he left it and went to Germany to study art in workshops and art schools. In 1912 he returned to Poland, to the city of Warsaw, and opened a photographic studio. Before long he was hired by the publishing house "Yehudiya", owned by the Yiddish daily Haynt, as a graphic designer in order to produce greeting cards and postcards. Goldberg created colored cards, using a composite method, creating his own style in this niche of Jewish art. First he photographed in his studio staged scenes portrayed by amateur actors, along with appropriate clothing and setting, and then he used painting and graphics techniques to add the pictures illustrated elements and short Yiddish rhymed greetings he composed. Thus he created series of popular postcards in various themes – Shana Tova ('Happy New Year') greeting cards, postcards depicting Jewish occupations, etc. Shalom Sabar, scholar of Jewish art and folklore, defines Goldberg as "perhaps the most important of Shana Tova greeting cards designers operat[ing] in Poland at the beginning of the 20th century... While he was not an artist of the first rank, his diverse talents as photographer, amateur painter, graphic designer and even an occasional poet have found a suitable platform in the form of greeting cards designing. Before printing the final version, Goldberg added to the photograph of the staged scene produced in his studio the last details: drawing necessary elements, retouching, the words 'Shana Tova' ('for a good year') and finally a decorative plate embedded with light rhymes 'explaining' the image."

In those years he also issued humorous collections and leaflets for Jewish holidays (yontev bleter), in the artistic name "Haggai". Beginning in the end of the 1910s, he illustrated a series of Yiddish and Hebrew children's books published in Warsaw, including the Hebrew illustrated children's library Shibolim ('ears') – a series of 70 illustrated, dotted booklets, most of which were adapted folktale (E. Gitlin, beginning of the 1920s); Agadot Yavan ('Legends of Greece', i.e., Greek mythology; 3 vols., E. Gitlin, 1922) – in Hebrew, adapted by Eliezer Mitropolitnsky, and a simultaneous Yiddish edition translated by H.Z.: grikhishe mitn; the "Tarbut"'s Hebrew toddler's library Tsil Tslil, which he also designed and printed; and the Hebrew reader Tsafririm by Itzhak Katzenelson and Itzhak Berkman (Ahisefer, mid-1920s). He also painted many title pages, like the title page of Yosef Ravin's children's series Maysehlekh fun der gantser velt ('tales from around the world'; E. Gitlin, mid-1920s) and that of the 2nd Haynt'''s jubilee book (1938).

In the 1920s Goldberg opened in Królewska street in Warsaw a printing house and artistic zincography studio named "Grafikon". In the workshop, where he worked alongside his wife Esther, he designed Hebrew fonts, printing ornaments and lithography and made matrices for a number of publishing houses and newspapers.
Apart from his fondness for rhyming and painting title pages, Goldberg had a special affection for making letters. He aspired to improve the Hebrew typography (especially in the context of the Jewish print in Poland), because he thought it flawed and believed it impaired the enjoyment of reading, and sought to come up with a new script that would fit the living word. In 1922 he published an article in Kultur Lige's bibliographic journal Bikher-velt ('Book World') on the need for reform and modernization of the Hebrew font. He spent considerable effort making sketches for letters. His drafts, which he published in Hebrew and Yiddish periodicals, demonstrated great imagination.

In the 1930s he published poems and stories in Hebrew and Yiddish in children's periodicals such as Olami hakatan ('My Little World'). His poems and stories were also published in books, some of which he himself illustrated and printed with his typographic innovations. Goldberg was a founding member of and active in the Association of Visual Artists of the Jews in Poland.

Goldberg aspired to publish Yiddish books in a European style, in a small edition, accompanied by original artwork by renowned Jewish artists. In 1931 he himself published a monograph on the artist Moshe Appelbaum, accompanied by high-quality reproductions. In 1935 the Paris publishing house "Le Triangle", which specialized in Jewish art, published an album consisting of 50 of his paintings on Jewish themes, with an introduction by the French art critic Paul Fierens. The reviews praised the graphical quality of it, and despite the specific theme, Goldberg's paintings were modernist, as well as romantic-realistic.

During the German invasion of Poland in September 1939, Goldberg managed to escape to the city of Białystok, which was occupied by the Soviet Union. He lived there during the Soviet occupation and worked in zincography. After the occupation of Bialystok by the Germans in 1941 he was interned in the Białystok Ghetto. There he was in charge of the drawing of the Judenrat's formal posters, which were made in an elegant paintings and hanged on the  Building.

Haim Goldberg perished in 1943 in the Białystok Ghetto (according to another source, in Treblinka). His wife Esther (b. 1900) also perished in the Holocaust, as well as their only son, Max (b. 1919), who had followed in his parents' footsteps and studied graphics and artistic photography at the Vienna Höhere Graphische Bundes-Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt (according to a rumor, he died as a partisan).

An album was found among the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto, containing 32 of Goldberg's postcards printed by "Yehudiya" in Warsaw in 1912–1918. The pictures are kept in the collection of the National Library of Poland.

Release
The album was released on R&S Records on 16 June 2014 on vinyl record and compact disc.

Also reissued by R&S Records on 7 December 2018 as a limited edition of 300, pressed on Clear Vinyl

Reception

At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 81, based on 17 reviews, indicating "universal acclaim".

Pitchfork stated that "Reality Testing is Cutler’s easiest listen—you can imagine this music playing over coffee shop speakers as much as you could put a rapper on top of it—and as such it may seem less innovative when placed up against his previous two full-lengths."

title: Asia School

text:
Asia School is a former segregated school for African Americans in the Asia community of Franklin County, Tennessee.

For many years, the Macedonia Primitive Baptist Church operated a black school on the Asia School site. In 1940, the church transferred the property to Franklin County, which assumed responsibility for the school. The current school building is a concrete-block structure that was completed around 1952. It was operated as a county public school for African-American children until 1961, when the county closed the school and returned the property to the church.

Four years after Asia School closed, Franklin County integrated its public schools. Asia School was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2011 for its significance as an example of a 20th-century African-American school in rural Tennessee.

title: Continental Air Defense Command

text:
Continental Air Defense Command (CONAD) was a Unified Combatant Command of the United States Department of Defense, tasked with air defense for the Continental United States. It comprised Army, Air Force, and Navy components. It included Army Project Nike missiles (Ajax and Hercules) anti-aircraft defenses and USAF interceptors (manned aircraft and BOMARC missiles). The primary purpose of continental air defense during the CONAD period was to provide sufficient attack warning of a Soviet bomber air raid to ensure Strategic Air Command could launch a counterattack without being destroyed.  CONAD controlled nuclear air defense weapons such as the 10 kiloton W-40 nuclear warhead on the CIM-10B BOMARC. The command was disestablished in 1975, and Aerospace Defense Command became the major U.S. component of North American Air Defense Command (NORAD).

Background
As the new U.S. Air Force was being established in 1947, consideration of a joint command for air defense began.  After the USAF initiated the development of the "1954 interceptor" (WS-201) to counter expected Soviet bomber advances, the Army deployed M-33 Fire Control for AA artillery in 1950.  A proposal for a joint/unified command for air defense was initiated (and failed) in 1950. The new Air Defense Command (ADC) at Ent AFB, and Army Antiaircraft Command (ARAACOM) staffed in the nearby Antlers Hotel (Colorado) was established in 1951. The same year, the Priority Permanent System began replacing the post-war Lashup Radar Network.

A direct telephone line was installed in mid-July 1950 between CONAC headquarters and the 26th Air Division HQ at Roslyn Air Warning Station. This marked "the beginning of the Air Force air raid warning system." When the Korean War broke out, the USAF established a direct telephone line between the Air Force Command Post in the Pentagon and the White House. By 1953, continental air defenses included assets of five organizations, the U.S. ones responsible to the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff:

 ADC's "SAGE radar stations, fighter interceptor squadrons, and the Air Defense Direction Center"
 Army Antiaircraft Command (ARAACOM)'s AAA artillery, MIM-3 Nike Ajax surface-to-air missiles, and the network of fire control centers and target acquisition radars
 Alaskan Air Command (AAC) with interceptors and radars at North America's northwest
 Northeast Air Command (NEAC) of the USAF in northeast Canada and Thule Air Force Base, Greenland
 Air Defence Command of the Royal Canadian Air Force with its interceptor aircraft and radars

Debate over operational control
The United States Department of Defense agreed that the USAF would assume operational control of all U.S. air defense weapons during an attack. However, the Army complained the USAF command and control network (e.g., the 1950 Strategic Operational Control System (SOCS) telephone/teletype system was "insufficiently reliable." In response to the "enemy capabilities to inflict massive damage on the continental United States by surprise air attack", the National Security Council formulated  President Dwight Eisenhower's "The New Look" strategy in 1953–1954. To minimize the Soviet threat, the New Look strategy aimed to allow Strategic Air Command (SAC) bombers "to get into the air not be destroyed on the ground" to make massive retaliation possible. Thus the major purpose of air defense was not actually to shoot down enemy bombers, but merely gain time for SAC to respond.

Planning
By October 16, 1953, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff requested the services' input regarding formation of a joint air defense command, but the USAF Chief of Staff on December 16, 1953 "concluded that no change was needed or advisable".  Under "political pressures for greater unity and effectiveness in the national air defense system", the Chairman—a Navy Admiral—disagreed with the USAF and in January 1954 "recommended that the JCS approve in principle the establishment of a joint air defense command":

In an era when enemy capabilities to inflict massive damage on the continental United States by surprise air attack are rapidly increasing, I consider that there is no doubt whatsoever as to the duty of the Joint Chiefs to establish a suitable "joint" command…. The command will be composed of forces of each of the services and provide for the coordinated accomplishment of functions of each of the services for the air defense of the United States.

The command was planned to include:

 all air forces regularly assigned to the air defense of the United States
 land based early warning stations and sea-based forces assigned to contiguous radar coverage;
 antiaircraft forces of the Army involved in the permanent air defense of the United States
 the exercise of operational control of Army and Marine Corps units "which can temporarily augment the air defense forces in event of emergency."
 CINCLANT/CINCPAC and CINCAL/CINCNE responses as needed from their "seaward extensions of the early warning system…and early warning installations in Alaska and the NE Command".

Operational control
The Joint Chiefs directed the establishment of CONAD on August 2, 1954. The Secretary of Defense announced the command's formation publicly later in the month to integrate "the air defense capabilities of the three military departments into an air defense system responsible to the control of one military commander" (Wainstein).

CONAD was established effective September 1, 1954, primarily to defend the continental United States against air attack. It was also tasked to support U.S. commanders in the Pacific, Atlantic, Caribbean, Alaska, Northeast, and of Strategic Air Command in their missions to the maximum extent consistent with its primary mission.  ADC's commander, General Benjamin Chidlaw, became the first CINCONAD, and the USAF was designated as the executive agency. From 1954 to 1956, CONAD consisted of the USAF Air Defense Command, Army Antiaircraft Command, and the Naval Forces, Continental Air Defense Command (NAVFORCONAD). The USAF ADC Headquarters was additionally designated as Headquarters CONAD.

CONAD's operational control covered:
 Direction of the tactical air battle
 Control of fighters
 Specifying the alert condition
 Stationing early warning units
 Deploying combat units of the command.

ADC's main battle control center was moved out of the former hallway/latrine in the Ent AFB headquarters building and into a new-built blockhouse in 1954. At Ent, offices for both HQ CONAD and a new HQ NAVFORCONAD were prepared in the building with the ADC and ARAACOM HQs. NAVFORCONAD was placed under command of Rear Admiral Albert K. Morehouse.

The Experimental SAGE Subsector received a prototype IBM computer in July 1955. for development of a "national air defense network", A late 1955 CONAD plan for USAF Semi-Automatic Ground Environment control of Army Nike missiles caused an interservice dispute but later in 1956 the Secretary of Defense approved CONAD's plan for USAF units at computerized Army nuclear bunkers. The 1959 Missile Master Plan resolved the dispute to have separate Nike Hercules missile command posts in the bunkers.  On February 13, 1956, CINCONAD advocated "an eventual combined organization…of the Air Defense Force of all countries and services in and adjacent to North America." December 1956 planning requested "six prime and 41 gap-tiller radars [to be] located in Mexico.  By 1956, CONAD had designated 3 "SAC Base Complexes" to be defended: in the Northwestern United States, in a Montana-through-North Dakota area, and the largest in a nearly-triangular "South Central Area" from Minnesota to New Mexico to Northern Florida.

1956 reorganization
On September 4, 1956, the JCS changed the Terms of Reference for CONAD to be "more in line [with] ..a joint task force" and separated command of the USAF Air Defense Command from CINCONAD. The CONAD staff were separated from the ADC HQ staff on October 1, 1956.  The JCS also transferred "the air defense systems in Alaska and the Canadian Northeast" from those unified commands to CONAD. On January 1, 1957, CINCONAD placed the U.S. defenses in a geometric "Canadian Northeast Area" under the operational control of the Canadian Air Defence Command.

In March 1957, CONAD said "that an adequate and timely defense system against the intercontinental ballistic missile was "the most urgent future CONAD requirement." CONAD identified a requirement "for a defense against cruise and ballistic missiles launched from submarines or surface ships" on June 14, 1957 The 1957 Gaither Report identified "little likelihood of SAC's bombers surviving since there was no way to detect an incoming attack until the first [ICBM] warhead landed". In keeping with these recommendations, the BMEWS General Operational Requirement was issued on November 7, 1957.

On 6 September 1957, CONAD advised all appropriate agencies that the North American Air Defense Command (NORAD) was to be established at Ent Air Force Base effective 0001 Zulu 12 September. This  would integrate the headquarters of CONAD and RCAF ADC. General Earle E. Partridge, the CONAD/ADC commander, became Commander-in-Chief of NORAD.  At the same time, Canadian officers agreed that the command's primary purpose would be "early warning and defense for SAC's retaliatory forces."

The CONAD blockhouse at Ent became a "master station" of the 1958 Alert Network Number 1, (ARDC's ADSMO was redesignated as the Air Defense Systems Integration Division on February 24, 1958.)  Ground zero footage for CONAD was shot during the Operation Plowshare nuclear detonation.  When the ICBM threat had sufficiently developed, the June 1959 Continental Air Defense Program reduced the number of Super Combat Centers to 7, then all were cancelled on March 18, 1960. The Canadian nuclear bunker started at CFS North Bay was completed in 1963 with vacuum tube computers.

Space defense

CONAD was assigned "operational command" of the Space Detection and Tracking System (SPADATS) on November 7, 1960. SPADATS included Project Space Track and NAVSPASUR sensors.  The "Improved Hercules system" for surface-to-air-missiles was first deployed in 1961, and in 1962 the command manned the alternate US command post (CONAD ALCOP) at Richards-Gebaur AFB.  CONAD HQ moved from Ent AFB to the nearby Colorado Springs' Chidlaw Building in 1963, where a new NORAD/CONAD "war room" (Combined Operations Center) with Iconorama was used until the under-construction Command Center and Missile Warning Center became operational at Cheyenne Mountain Complex in 1966.  NORAD HQ moved to the Chidlaw Building on February 15, 1963. The CONAD and NORAD offices were consolidated on March 7, 1963.

CONAD agreed to allow the FAA to control military aircraft for "scramble, flight en route to target [enemy aircraft], and recovery" (handed off to military directors for actual intercept) effective February 1, 1964. By January 12, 1965, CONAD had a "Space Defense Center Implementation Plan" (in 1967 the 1st Aero moved Ent's Space Defense Center operations to Cheyenne Mountain Complex's Group III Space Defense Center.)  CONAD continued using the same name with "air defense" after Aerospace Defense Command (ADCOM) was designated the new USAF "space" command name in 1968 with most of CONAD's missile warning and space surveillance assets (cf. the 1959 Naval Space Surveillance System until transferred to the USAF in 2004).

Contiguous Radar Coverage System
Established in 1954 to provide both early warning of enemy bombers and a weapons control capability, the Contiguous Radar Coverage System consisted of land-based radars across the width of southern Canada (the "Pinetree Line") and radar ships in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans (the "Seaward Extensions"). As of 1961, the system could detect enemy bombers out to about 400 to 500 miles, yielding a warning of about 45 to 55 minutes. The Seaward Extensions also included airborne early warning aircraft and two Texas Tower radars off the northeastern coast of the United States.

Aftermath

BOMARC alerts ended in 1972, and the post-Vietnam war drawdown closed most CONUS NIKE missile sites during the 1974 Project Concise. At the very end of the command's existence, the SAFEGUARD ABM system was being deployed. It became operational on October 1, 1975.

CONAD was disestablished on June 30, 1975. General Lucius D. Clay Jr., the last commander, remained Commander-in-Chief of NORAD, and Aerospace Defense Command personnel manned combined NORAD/ADCOM staff organizations.  ADCOM was broken up 1979-80 with interceptors transferring to Air Defense, Tactical Air Command, missile warning stations transferring to SAC (e.g., the new PAVE PAWS sites), electronics units transferring to the Air Force Communications Service (AFCS), and the NORAD/ADCOM "Air Force Element" forming the new Aerospace Defense Center.

Remaining ADCOM HQ functions continued as combined NORAD/ADCOM organizations, e.g., "HQ NORAD/ADCOM" J31 subsequently manned the Cheyenne Mountain Space Surveillance Center in the same room as the Missile Warning Center, separated by partitions.  In 1982, the Aerospace Defense Center was incorporated into the new Air Force Space Command.

title: Missile Warning Center

text:
The Missile Warning Center (MWC) is a center that provides missile warning and defense for United States Space Command's Combined Force Space Component Command, incorporating both space-based and terrestrial sensors. The MWC is located at Cheyenne Mountain Space Force Station.

Mission
The Missile Warning Center coordinates, plans, and executes worldwide missile, nuclear detonation, and space re-entry event detection to provide timely, accurate, and unambiguous strategic warning in support of the United States and Canada.

History
During deployment of the computerized air defense network for the United States, the Soviet Union announced that they had successfully tested an ICBM.  BMEWS General Operational Requirement 156 was issued on November 7, 1957 (BMEWS was "designed to go with the active portion of the WIZARD system") and on February 4, 1958; the USAF informed Air Defense Command (ADC) that BMEWS was an "all-out program" and the "system has been directed by the President, has the same national priority as the ballistic missile and satellite programs and is being placed on the Department of Defense master urgency list."  The subsequent plan by June 1958 for a US Zone of the Interior facility for anti-ICBM fire control by Air Defense Command (ADC) was for it to be "the heart of the entire ballistic missile defense system" with Nike Zeus SAMs.  On 19 October 1959, HQ USAF assigned ADC the "planning responsibility" for eventual operation of the Missile Defense Alarm System to detect ICBM launches with infrared sensors in space.

1960 Ent AFB CC&DF
The BMEWS Central Computer and Display Facility (CC&DF) built as an austere facility instead of the planned AICBM control center became operational on September 30, 1960, at Ent AFB when BMEWS' Thule Site J became operational.  Site J's computers (e.g., in the Sylvania AN/FSQ-28 Missile Impact Predictor Set) processed 4 RCA AN/FPS-50 Radar Sets' data, and alerts transferred via the BMEWS Rearward Communications System to the CC&DF for NORAD attack assessment and warning to RCA Display Information Processors (DIPs) at the NORAD/CONAD command center (also on Ent AFB), SAC's Offutt AFB nuclear bunker, and The Pentagon's new National Military Command Center.  DIPs presented impact ellipses and drove a "threat summary display" with a count of incoming missiles and a countdown of "Minutes Until First Impact" (cf. later large screen displays such as the Iconorama.)  In July 1961 separate from the CC&DF, the surveillance center in New Hampshire "was discontinued as the new SPADATS Center became operational at Ent AFB" with the 496L Space Detection and Tracking System (i.e., NORAD began aerospace operations).  In 1962 the Army's LIM-49 Nike Zeus program was assigned the satellite intercept mission (Program 505's "Operation Mudflap" conducted a test), and the 1962 SECDEF assigned the USAF to develop the Satellite Intercept System which would use orbit data from a Space Defense Center.  By December 15, 1964, NORAD had an implementation plan for a "Single Integrated Space Defense Center" for NORAD/CONAD to centralize both missile warning and space surveillance.

1967 Space Defense Center
The 1st Aero on February 6, 1967, moved operations to the Group III Space Defense Center, the integrated missile warning/space surveillance facility (496L Spacetrack system with Philco 212 primary processor) at the Cheyenne Mountain nuclear bunker (FOC of the new bunker's command center—a portion of the Burroughs 425L Command/Control and Missile Warning System—had been on July 1, 1966.)  Interim operations of the Avco 474N SLBM Detection and Warning System began in July 1970 (IOC was 5 May 1972), and in 1972 20% of the Bendix AN/FPS-85 Phased Array Radar's surveillance capability "became dedicated to search for SLBMs" (the FPS-85 relayed SLBM data via the 474N network for SLBM warning to "SAC, the National Military Command Center, and the Alternate NMCC over BMEWS circuits").

1975 NORAD/ADCOM center
The NORAD/CONAD Missile Warning Center came under NORAD/ADCOM control in 1975 when the unified Continental Air Defense Command ended and in early 1972, the 427M improvement program was planned; e.g., (NORAD Computer System to replace the 425L System.)  After SAC assumed control of ballistic missile warning and space surveillance facilities on December 1, 1979, the MWC was in the same room as HQ NORAD/ADCOM J31's Space Surveillance Center (separated by partitions.)    The "NORAD Missile Warning and Space Surveillance System" was the general term for the entire network applied by the House's 1981 Armed Services Committee—the Core Processing Segment (CPS) handled missile warning/space surveillance with three Honeywell H6080 computers, e.g., a NORAD Computer System (NCS) H6080 for command and control and for missile warning functions (2nd for space surveillance and 3rd as backup for both).  Circa 1986, the "missile and space surveillance and warning system" consisted of a space computational center and 5 sensor systems:
 Ballistic Missile Early Warning System
 Defense Support Program (DSP satellites, ground systems, etc. of Project 647)
 "OTH Forward Scatter Missile Detection System" (440L System of Program 673A with international AN/FRT-80 transmitters & AN/FSQ-76 receivers, Aviano AB Correlation Center, and Rome Laboratory processing center)
 "Sea-Launched Ballistic Missile Warning System" (remaining 474N Fuzzy-7 radar(s), AN/FPS-85, and 2 PAVE PAWS stations)
 Space Detection and Warning System
By 1981 Cheyenne Mountain was providing 6,700 messages per hour compiled via sensor inputs from the Joint Surveillance System, BMEWS, the SLBM "Detection and Warning System, COBRA DANE, and PARCS as well as SEWS and PAVE PAWS".  During the 1991 Gulf War, the missile operations section that supported the MWC processed SCUD missile detections and interceptions for theater warning units.  The Space and Warning Systems Center maintained "26 stovepipe systems" for USSPACECOM, NORAD, and AFSPC, and the Space Computational Center was replaced in 1992.

In February 1995, "the missile warning center at Cheyenne Mountain AS [was] undergoing a $450 million upgrade program as part of Cheyenne Mountain's $1.7 billion renovation package."  At Cheyenne Mountain on September 11, 2001, Major Richard J. Hughes was the Missile Warning Center Commander and the Chief of the J7 Exercise Branch.  In 2003, construction began for a new command center at Cheyenne Mountain to include Ground-Based Midcourse Defense—the "new Missile Correlation Center" (MCC) was to have new consoles, mission system connectivity and communications capabilities.

Missile Correlation Center
The Missile Correlation Center (MCC) and Space Control Center were in Cheyenne Mountain by March 4, 2005 when Patrick Mullin was the commander of the MCC, which by 2006 was receiving input from five Joint Tactical Ground Stations.

Missile Warning Operations Center
The 2006–8 Cheyenne Mountain Realignment divided MCC operations into NORAD/NORTHCOM's Missile and Space Domain at Peterson AFB and STRATCOM's facility in Cheyenne Mountain ("Missile Warning Operations Center" in 2007.) USSTRATCOM announced a 2007 plan to relocate the MWOC from Cheyenne Mountain to Schriever AFB (cf. the Space Control Center which AFSPC was moving from Cheyenne Mountain to Vandenberg.)  In May 2010, USSTRATCOM decided to keep its missile warning center at Cheyenne Mountain, which had begun a $2.9 million renovation in January 2010 (a temporary MWOC facility had to be set up.)

title: Rumph House

text:
The  Rumph House is a historic house at 717 Washington Street in Camden, Arkansas.  In 1874 a single-story Victorian house was built, in which Dr. Junius Bragg, a Confederate Army surgeon, lived for many years.  This house was extensively remodeled in 1925, during Arkansas' oil boom, adding a second floor, and restyling the building in the then-popular Craftsman style.  This renovation was undertaken by Garland S. Rumph, who was prominent in local politics.  Its Craftsman features include wide eaves, stuccoed gable ends, and exposed false rafter beams.

The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003.

The home was purchased in 2008 by Thomas Holt who has continued to contribute to the history of the home. Improvements have been made to the original structure in 2014 by closing in the back porch adding a sunroom and the addition of a deck in the back of the home.

title: Philip Schrodt

text:
Philip Andrew "Phil" Schrodt (born July 24, 1951) is a political scientist known for his work in automated data and event coding for political news. On August 1, 2013, he announced that he was leaving his job as professor at Pennsylvania State University to become a full-time consultant. Schrodt is currently a senior research scientist at the statistical consulting firm Parus Analytical Systems.

Biography

Schrodt received an M.A. in mathematics and a Ph.D. in political science from Indiana University in 1976. He worked at Northwestern University for 12 years, then at the University of Kansas for 21 years, and at Pennsylvania State University for 4 years, before leaving academia for a private sector job with Parus Analytical Systems.

Academic work

Schrodt's work has largely been focused on automated coding of event data for political news. In 1994, he created the Kansas Event Data System (KEDS) that won the “Outstanding Computer Software Award” from the American Political Science Association in 1995. In 2000, he created the Textual Analysis by Augmented Replacement Instructions (TABARI) software in 2000 that improved on the KEDS. He developed the Conflict and Mediation Event Observations (CAMEO) data coding framework along with Deborah J. Gerner and others. The TABARI software could automatically code event data according to the CAMEO framework.

A modification of TABARI, called JABARI-NLP, was used for the Integrated Conflict Early Warning System (ICEWS) database by Lockheed Martin Advanced Technology Laboratories. TABARI and CAMEO are also used for event coding for the Global Database of Events, Language, and Tone, that Schrodt co-created with Kalev Leetaru and others.

Logistic regression models created by Schrodt were also successfully incorporated into the predictive algorithms used by Lockheed Martin for ICEWS.

Reception

Schrodt's academic work as well as his views (including those expressed in his academic work and in his blog posts) are frequently referenced by other blogs about data science and predictive analytics in political science, such as Jay Ulfelder's blog, the Predictive Heuristics blog, and Bad Hessian. He has also been referenced in Foreign Policy articles.

title: Beit Yaacov/Rabi Meyr Synagogue (Manaus, Brazil)

text:
The Beit Yaacov/Rabi Meyr Synagogue is the current synagogue of the Jewish Community of Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil. Founded in 1962, this Traditional Judaism congregation is one of the largest and most influential synagogues of Amazonian Jews in the Northern Brazil. The Jewish Labour Zionist youth movement Habonim Dror is established in Manaus and it is part of the Community. The construction was financed by the local entrepreneurs Isaac Benayon Sabbá, Samuel Benchimol, José Benzecry and Moysés Benarrós Israel.

Service Times
Beit Yaacov/Rabi Meyr Synagogue conducts weekly Friday night and Saturday morning, Shabat services. Services are generally at 6:30 p.m. on Friday evening and 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning. The Synagogue also offers services throughout each holiday including Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur and Pessach.

The Community also celebrates Yom Ha'Atzmaut, Yom HaShoah, Yom Hazikaron, Yom Yerushalayim, Mimouna and the Hilulot, celebrations linked to the commemoration of great rabbis and tzadikim of Morocco.

For security reasons, Jewish tourists and groups of Jewish tourists (with or without guide) wishing to participate in the religious services of the Synagogue must inform the Community in advance.

History
About 900 miles inland from the Atlantic, Manaus is the capital of the state of Amazonas, in northwest Brazil. Of the city's 2.0 million people, roughly 800 are Jewish, according to Isaac Dahan, the local synagogue's cantor.

The Jewish community of Manaus dates from about 1890, when Jews were fleeing poverty and uncertain life in Morocco and when Brazil was experiencing a rubber boom. The smuggling of seeds for rubber trees out of Brazil to England in 1876 and the successful planting of seedlings in Indonesia and Ceylon eventually helped cause the bubble to burst.

The 'Jewish Saint'
In 1908, following instructions from then Chief Rabbi of Morocco, Rephael Ancáua, Rabbi Shalom Imanuel Muyal traveled to Amazon in order to verify the situation of hundreds of families of Moroccan Jews which started emigrating in 1810.

In 1910, Rabbi Shalom Imanuel Muyal died of yellow fever and is buried in the Manaus Catholic Cemetery. He has come to be regarded as a saint by many in the local non-Jewish population, who make regular pilgrimages to his gravesite.

Local Christians in the Amazonian city have made it a tradition to turn up at Muyal's burial spot in the Saint John the Baptist Cemetery to pray for miracles. When their prayers are answered, they put up small signs of thanks.

title: Heidenberg (Wasgau Felsenland)

text:
The Heidenberg is a 420-metre-high hill in the southeastern Wasgau, the region that covers the southern part of the Palatinate Forest in Germany and the northern Vosges in France. The Heidenberg's north flank is in the parish of Busenberg, its south flank in the parish of Erlenbach bei Dahn.

On its western slopes is the Buchkammerfels, a striking rock formation in which, in a rock spur with vertical sides, there is what is suspected to be the site of a castle that consisted of inaccessible rock chambers (known as Buchkammern or Heidenkammern).
The rock chambers are first mentioned in 1635, where they are described as dungeons. This function is just as unverified as the theory that they might have been used by the inhabitants of Drachenfels Castle as an outlying observation post.

title: 1st Mini Album (Jung Joon-young EP)

text:
Jung Joon Young 1st mini album is the self-titled debut EP by South Korean rock singer, Jung Joon-young, released by CJ E&M on October 10, 2013. It consists of six songs containing a pre-released track "병이에요 (Spotless Mind)", the title track, "이별 10분 전 (The Sense of an Ending)", and two songs that he participated in writing and composing: "아는 번호 (Missed Call)" and "Take off Mask" and other two songs "정말? (Really?)", and "Be Stupid".

His 1st Mini Album did well; The album ranked at the top spot both on the daily and weekly chart of Synnara Record as a bestselling album during its first week and it totally sold over 12,804 copies from October until the end of 2013 in Korea. Plus, "병이에요 (Spotless Mind)" landed at the third place and "이별 10분전 (The Sense of an Ending)" also took the second place on the chart of MBC's music show 음악중심  (Music Core).

Jung Joon-young received New Male Solo Artist for "이별 10분전 (The Sense of an Ending)" at the 3rd Gaon Chart K-Pop Awards.

Background and release
On April 21, 2013, it was announced that CJ E&M signed with Jung Joon Young on April 20 and they were supposed to release his debut album at the earliest that summer of the year.
However, it was delayed until October due to his passion to make it perfect and it was referred that it took a pretty long time for him to select the best songs he could be satisfied with.

It was described that he participated actively in producing his 1st Mini Album especially making N version of "병이에요 (Spotless Mind)" MV and album photos through the reality show Be Stupid.

On Oct 01, 2013. Jung Joon-young released his single "Spotless Mind", a pre-released title track off his upcoming album, along with two versions of the music video ("N" version and "S" version).
Just an hour after release, "Spotless Mind" immediately made an impact on the country's charts and nabbed the top spot on Mnet, Bugs, and Soribada.

Soon after, 1st Mini Album was released on October 10 of that year.

Promotion
Jung Joon-young unveiled the detailed story behind the making of his album and the great effort for working on his album through On Style's reality show, "Jung Joon-young's Be Stupid" which aired four episodes from Sep 10 to Oct 1, 2013.

On October 4, he revealed the track list of 1st Mini Album through the graffiti mural on a wall near Hongik University with the help of art students.

On Oct 10, he held a showcase to celebrate the release of his 1st Mini Album, and started his official activities as a singer by making his debut show performance of the title track "이별 10분전 (The Sense of an Ending)" through Mnet’s "M Countdown".
He promoted the title track "이별 10분전 (The Sense of an Ending)", along with the track "병이에요 (Spotless Mind)" on music shows such as Mnet's M! Countdown, KBS's Music Bank and MBC's Show! Champion from October 10 to November 12.

He met many fans through signing events not only domestically but also abroad. He visited Taiwan in order to promote his first mini album on December 8, 2013 and held a fan meeting with 1,000 Taiwanese fans and had an autograph-signing event with his song performances for those who had purchased a special limited edition of his album.

Composition and singles
He reportedly devoted much effort and time to his first mini-album. He attended many meetings with the staff to include his unique colors into the album. So he mentioned that "I hope that people will be able to see every side to the album, and not just the title song and pre-released song" through the interview with YesAsia.
According to his agency CJ E&M, "We have paid special attention to the sound of the album. In contrast to the mechanical sound that is currently in, we gathered some of the best engineers in Korea into the studio, and went for a sound that makes you feel like you’re listening to live music. Colorful rock music with a high quality sound is the core of this album."

Pre-released single : "병이에요 (Spotless Mind)"

"병이에요(Spotless Mind)", written by Luvan and Wonderkid, tells a story of a young man struggling to cope with the aftereffects of a painful break-up. The track is a song that highlights Jung Joon Young's deep emotional voice with a rock ballad sound. The name of the track was inspired by the American movie Eternal Sunshine on the Spotless Mind, which takes listeners on a movie-like experience with his imaginative and sorrowful melody and lyrics.
A representative for the singer stated, "Jung Joon-young has strong opinions and also has a love for rock, which is reflected directly in his debut single. Through his music listeners would be able to know what kind of person Jung is, and what kind of music he would like to play."

Title track : "이별10분전 (The Sense of An Ending)"

Jung Joon Young's debut mini album's title song is a rock ballad song called "이별10분전 The Sense of an Ending". The song was produced by SCORE, who previously worked with artists such as Younha and Primary, and emphasizes Jung Joon Young's deep husky voice and a live band sound. The song features sad lyrics and Jung Joon Young's poignant vocals, just in time for the chilly autumn weather. According to Jung Joon Young, "We tried to minimize the electronic sound, and instead tried to create an authentic sound, as if you are listening to a live band. This song features a man's emotional voice as he looks forward to a farewell, and hopefully brings back the male vocal's rock ballad genre. We wanted to preserve the classic aspect of the genre, as well as tastefully develop it into a song to fit in with 2013's modern sound."

Self-created songs : "Take Off Mask" and "아는 번호 (Missed Call)"

He proved his ability as a musician by participating in composing and writing lyrics on two songs.
He composed the western style rock song "Take Off Mask" with Lee Ji Hoon, which features his unique musical style and slightly exaggerates his vocal color.
He also participated in writing lyrics and composing the rock ballad "아는 번호 (Missed Call)" which expresses the depressed feeling of a man who still misses a former girlfriend with a dark and sad melody and lyrics. It combines a band sound and orchestra sound perfectly.

Other singles : "Be Stupid" and "정말? (Really?)"

"Be Stupid" is an upbeat song with a rock punk beat that includes a Japanese rock feeling and its lyrics seem to talk about his own style. It expresses  free, easy-going, and self-satisfied life style "Be Stupid".
"정말? (Really?)" is a bright pop rock with a band sound that blends beautifully with string arrangements.

title: Environment of Karachi

text:
Islamabad has many environmental issues, severely affecting its biophysical environment as well as human health. The industrialization as well as lax environmental oversight have contributed to the problems. The various forms of pollution have increased as Karachi which has caused widespread environmental and health problems. Air pollution, lack of proper waste management infrastructure and degradation of water bodies are the major environmental issues in Karachi.

Pollution
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or nonpoint source pollution. According to a study by National Institutes of Health, chromium and lead levels are high in almost all ground water sources, however extremely high concentrations were found in industrial areas. Presence of any one of the heavy metal contamination necessitate the need for the estimation of other heavy metals as significant positive correlation was found between chromium and lead concentration, indicating the possibility of similar contamination sources in Karachi.

Coast Pollution
The Karachi coastline, which stretches over 135 km, is facing severe pollution due  to a combination of industrial, port, municipal, and transportation activities in the area.  The coastline is being overwhelmed with water-borne pollution being discharged in the  shipping process into the marine environment. A recent study found that some of the  marine life was contaminated with lead, which if consumed by humans through seafood, has been linked to anemia, kidney failure and brain damage. In fact, the study also discovered that even the mangrove forests protecting the feeder creeks from sea erosion  as well as a source of sustenance for fishermen are threatened by this pollution. In the Korangi Industrial Area, 2,500 industrial units including 170 tanneries dispose untreated waste into the Arabian Sea.

Air pollution
Air pollution is the release of chemicals and particulates into the atmosphere. Common gaseous pollutants include carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) and nitrogen oxides produced by industry and motor vehicles. Photochemical ozone and smog are created as nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons react to sunlight. Particulate matter, or fine dust is characterized by their micrometre size PM10 to PM2.5. The air in Karachi is polluted by automobile smoke, especially rickshaws and buses, industrial emissions, open burning of garbage, house fires, and other particles but the government and environment organizations do not seem to take the issue seriously or in a timely manner.

Rickshaws
The two-stroke engine on rickshaws and motorcycles are one of the major polluters of air in Karachi and rest of Pakistan. The two-stroke engines, as well as defective or poorly maintained vehicles, are major polluters by producing carbon dioxide emissions. Two-stroke engines as well as defective vehicles using substandard lubricant are major emitters of sulfur dioxide and smoke. Automobiles operating on compressed natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas are major air polluters.

Light pollution
The Light pollution includes light trespass, over-illumination and astronomical interference.
Light pollution is the presence of anthropocentric and artificial light in the night environment. It is exacerbated by excessive, misdirected or obtrusive use of light, but even carefully used light fundamentally alters natural conditions

Littering

Littering is the criminal throwing of inappropriate man-made objects, unremoved, onto public and private properties. The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation have suffered due to mismanaged administrative and financial affairs and are now facing serious difficulties in discharging basic duties such as collection and disposal of municipal garbage from important residential areas.

Noise pollution
Noise pollution which encompasses roadway noise, aircraft noise, industrial noise as well as high-intensity sonar. The noise for Karachi came to 80 dB (A), the General Noise Index x (G.N.I.) to 460, and the noise pollution level (N.P.L.) to 99 dB (A). These values are significantly higher (P less than 0.01) than the available international data. The sources of noise production were identified as, the road traffic, human activity, industrial and civil works, mechanical and engineering workshops. The most noticeable sources of noise pollution in Karachi, are the autorickshaws, trail motor bikes and the fag horns of public transport. The noise emanating from a wide variety of sources such as; Motorcycles, Auto-Rikshaws, Cars, Wagons, Mini-buses & Buses, Trucks, Tractors, Water tankers, Bulldozers and Machine drills etc.

Soil contamination
Soil contamination occurs when chemicals are released by spill or underground leakage. Among the most significant soil contaminants are hydrocarbons, heavy metals, MTBE, herbicides, pesticides and chlorinated hydrocarbons.

Naya Nazimabad Contamination
The Naya Nazimabad  a neighbourhood of Karachi was developed on contaminated soil resulting in serious health issues for the residents. There has been a coverup to downplay the contamination of Naya Nazimabad in Pakistan's media. Shunaid Qureshi, developer of Naya Nazimabad, CEO Al Abbas Sugar Mills and former Chairman of Pakistan Sugar Mills Association (PASMA) were arrested in January 2014. The Javedan Cement Limited (JCL) was privatized and sold at very low prices of Rs. 4.3 billion ($43 million) to Haji Ghani and Shunaid Qureshi. The new owners almost immediately stopped production, dismantled the cement factory and converted the 1,300 acres JCL land into Naya Nazimabad housing project worth over Rs. 100 billion ($1 billion).

Radioactive contamination
Radioactive contamination resulting from 20th century activities in atomic physics, such as nuclear power generation and nuclear weapons research, manufacture and deployment. (See alpha emitters and actinides in the environment). The Karachi Nuclear Power Complex is located 50 km from Karachi downtown. The KANUPP-1 is a 137 MW CANDU reactor. There are two 1100 MW each CAP1400 Nuclear reactors under construction. In November 2013, Pakistan and China confirmed that CAP1400 Nuclear reactor, based on AP1000 Westinghouse Electric Company Pressurized water reactor, will be built at Karachi. Questions are also raised about the design model of the proposed Karachi power plants. It has been claimed that the design of the Karachi plants, the ACP-I000, is still under development and thus untried and untested.

Thermal pollution
Thermal pollution is a temperature change in natural water bodies caused by human influence, such as use of water as coolant in a power plant.

Visual pollution
Visual pollution, which can refer to the presence of overhead power lines, motorway billboards, scarred landforms (as from strip mining), open storage of trash, municipal solid waste or space debris. The Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC) has imposed a ban on installing new advertising billboards, signboards and other hoardings in the metropolitan for the next three months. The decision was taken in a meeting of KMC’s senior officials after the corporation took notice of visual pollution blighting the landscape of the city. There are over 3,000 billboards in Karachi causing visual pollution.

Water pollution
Water pollution id by the discharge of wastewater from commercial and industrial waste (intentionally or through spills) into surface waters; discharges of untreated domestic sewage, and chemical contaminants, such as chlorine, from treated sewage; release of waste and contaminants into surface runoff flowing to surface waters (including urban runoff and agricultural runoff, which may contain chemical fertilizers and pesticides); waste disposal and leaching into groundwater; eutrophication and littering.

110 million gallons per day of raw, untreated water from the Indus River is mixed with treated water from the Karachi Water and Sewerage Board (KWSB)’s water treatment plants, and this mixed water is supplied to the city. The KWSB claims that this water is fit for consumption. The quantity of chlorine has also been increased to ensure that all sorts of bacteria and germs are eliminated.

Karachi has drinking water pollution and inaccessibility. There is dissatisfaction with garbage disposal in Karachi. Instead of disposing garbage at the solid waste management plant, the people have been throwing and burning it at various residential and commercial points in the city, causing immense pollution.

Tanning
Pakistan exports leather product using Leather production processes including tanning. In addition to the other environmental impacts of leather, the production processes have a high environmental impact, most notably due to:
 the heavy use of polluting chemicals in the tanning process
 air pollution due to the transformation process (hydrogen sulfide during dehairing and ammonia during deliming, solvent vapours).

One tonne of hide or skin generally leads to the production of 20 to 80 m3 of turbid and foul-smelling wastewater, including chromium levels of 100–400 mg/L, sulfide levels of
200–800 mg/L and high levels of fat and other solid wastes, as well as notable pathogen contamination. Pesticides are also often added for hide conservation during transport.
With solid wastes representing up to 70% of the wet weight of the original hides, the tanning process comes at a considerable strain on water treatment installations.

Industrial
Karachi’s industries generate a cocktail of chemicals and toxic substances, and a significant amount of industrial effluent is discharged into creeks, rivers, or the sea.

Textile
Pakistan exports textile products and the Textile mill effluents is causing huge pollution of its water. Textile mill effluents (TMEs) are wastewater discharges from textile mills that are involved in wet processes such as scouring, neutralizing, desizing, mercerizing, carbonizing, fulling, bleaching, dyeing, printing and other wet finishing activities. They are not generated at facilities that conduct only dry processing (carding, spinning, weaving and knitting), laundering or manufacturing of synthetic fibres through chemical processes.

Environmental Management
Environmental management comprises two terms: environment and management. So at first, we have to know, what management is. Then we can easily understand about the environmental management.

Management is the process of planning, designing, controlling, coordinating, staffing or leading to acquire a desired objective.

At first, one views about management functionally, such as measuring quantity, adjusting plans, meeting goals. This applies even in situation where planning does not take place. From this perspective, Henri Fayol considers management to consist of six functions:
Whatever, everyday we are managing everything, every idea. It leads the proper to reach the desired goal.

Environmental management system is a systematic approach of planning, designing, coordinating, leading and controlling all the activities and what objectives/ functions of any entity to have a desired outcome in terms of enhancing environmental quality.
Objectives of Environmental Management

From a practical point of view,
 We want a healthy living environment. To ensure it we have to remove all kinds of pollution or environmental media. In situ management: where we find problem, we manage here.
 Separate the source and receptor and keep a buffer zone between them as it works like sink. This zone can be physical or by distances. Its goal is to create buffer zone.

title: Oriented FAST and rotated BRIEF

text:
Oriented FAST and rotated BRIEF (ORB) is a fast robust local feature detector, first presented by Ethan Rublee et al. in 2011, that can be used in computer vision tasks like object recognition or 3D reconstruction. It is based on the FAST keypoint detector and a modified version of the visual descriptor BRIEF (Binary Robust Independent Elementary Features). Its aim is to provide a fast and efficient alternative to SIFT.
