Margaret Sanger's statue at the Smithsonian Institute is 'a slap in the face to Black folks'

The controversy around the removal of statues that portray racist historical figures fail to spotlight Margaret Sanger, whose bust is in the Smithsonian and whose name is displayed on a Planned Parenthood building. Sanger was a proponent of eugenics who spoke to the women's branch of Klan in 1926. She also created the "Negro Project" in which she schemed to use Black ministers in her work because she did not, "[…] want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population."
Despite acknowledgment that their founder had "flaws," Planned Parenthood continues to honor her as a "trailblazer." But, as society learns of Sanger's eugenic ideology which led to the forced sterilization of minorities, as well as her speech before the Klan, they have become increasingly critical. This has prompted the abortion corporation, whose history also includes associations with the racist eugenics movement, to allegedly "disavow" Sanger's racist beliefs.
But, as Live Action News has documented, those words have little meaning when you see that Sanger's name is prominently displayed on one of their facilities. And worse yet is the fact that the Finger Lake facility is listed as Title X-funded in New York's 2016 directory. This means that this Planned Parenthood facility receives tax dollars, despite displaying the name of a racist on their building.
Margaret Sanger's name on Planned Parenthood building
Just as outrageous is the fact that when a local media outlet highlighted this Planned Parenthood they failed to mention Sanger's past. Instead, the news outlet touted Planned Parenthood's "services" even though nationally Planned Parenthood is losing patients and decreasing legitimate health services while increasing the number of abortions. By using half a billion in tax dollars every year, Planned Parenthood has managed to garner over 34 percent of the nation's abortion market share while skating criticism of their racist history.
In addition to placing her name outside the facility, Planned Parenthood's centers in two states are named after Sanger:
Margaret Sanger Health Center – Tucson, AZ
Margaret Sanger Center – New York, NY
As a result, the city of New York's website shows the street in front of Planned Parenthood's New York facility has been designated "Margaret Sanger Square"..
Margaret Sanger Street
In addition, NYC's Margaret Sanger Clinic has been designated a National Historic Landmark even though it is not open to the public. But, Margaret Sanger buildings and landmarks are just the tip of the iceberg.
Statues of the Klan speaker also exist and surprisingly have been allowed to remain. According to Halpern Blog, the Old South Meeting House in Boston has a statue of Sanger on display as seen below:

And the Brooklyn Museum celebrates the eugenicist with a display called, "Margaret Sanger's plate at The Dinner Party." They describe the table setting as "painted with bright red glazes that evoke the female reproductive organs and the blood that is involved in the reproductive process, as well as the battle for reproductive freedom."
Margaret Sanger bust national portrait gallery of Smithsonian
Just as disturbing is the fact that Sanger's bust is displayed at the Smithsonian Institute next to those of legitimate civil rights heroes. The bronze sculpture is owned by the National Portrait Gallery and is located in the "Struggle for Justice" exhibit. The Gallery's description of Sanger reads in part:
Adding to her life of controversy is her association with the eugenics movement-which included promotion of forced sterilization for those deemed mentally unfit-a movement that for a time was endorsed by many of the era's prominent thinkers.
The bust was the gift of Mrs. Cordelia Scaife May an anti-immigration zealot who was a key backer of John Tanton, a former Michigan Planned Parenthood Director who founded anti-immigration groups, such as FAIR. May was also instrumental in a failed bid to pressure the US Postmaster in 1966 to produce a commemorative stamp in honor of Sanger.
According to a report by the LA Times May was, "a generous supporter of Planned Parenthood, which in its early days supported population control."
A letter of outrage, written and signed by several prominent Black leaders, called for the removal of the bust. The group asked if the Smithsonian Institute was aware that Sanger supported eugenics, held an elitist attitude toward those she regarded as "the feeble minded," spoke to Ku Klux Klan supporters, and communicated with Hitler sympathizers:
How can a person like Sanger, who found common cause with the racial agenda of the Ku Klux Klan ("KKK"), be ranked among true champions of 'justice?' She was a purveyor of grave injustice against the most vulnerable.
Ironically, Sanger's bust is featured in the NPG's 'Struggle for Justice' exhibit, alongside two of America's most celebrated and authentic champions of equal rights – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Rosa Parks. If Sanger had her way, MLK and Rosa Parks would not have been born.
At a press conference denouncing Sanger's bust two years ago, the Rev. Dr. Johnny Hunter, spokesperson for BlackGenocide.org, commented that "Putting that mess up there is not going to help. The last thing we need is a White Supremacist sitting between the bust of Martin Luther King and Rosa Parks. That's just a slap in the face to Black folks."
Star Parker, a Black pro-life advocate, also responded, "Margaret Sanger is a racist who wanted to end the black population through birth control and abortion. She founded Planned Parenthood. But the Smithsonian, funded by our tax dollars, celebrates this woman, even mentioning her advocacy of eugenics! They don't even hide it! It is breathtaking in its idiocy."
In Fiscal Year 2016, the Smithsonian's federal appropriation was $840 million and by 2017 it grew to $922 million. Tax dollars make up about 60 percent of their budget (a combination of the congressional appropriation and federal grants and contracts).
Instead of removing Sanger's bust, the National Portrait Gallery Director Kim Sajet's response was to diminish Sanger's racism, by writing, "Her association with the eugenics movement shadowed her achievements in sex education and contraception, making her a figure of controversy, one whose complexities and contradictions mirror her times." She told the Black leaders, "I […] respectfully decline to remove her portrait [sic] from the museum."
Apparently, the excuse that a racist was just a product of their time and therefore deserves to be honored holds true only if you are the founder of the largest abortion corporation in the United States.

Black Lives Matter display in North Carolina shocks students

REPUBLISHING FROM LIFE DYNAMICS BLOG
Black students in North Carolina learn that abortion is killing their race with a provocative "Black Lives Matter" exhibit at a historical black college.
Rev. Johnny Hunter, a past co-host, on Life Talk TV, shared how he and several other African American pro-lifers brought the "Black Lives Matter" project to the campus of Fayetteville State College after participating in a similar event in Washington, D.C.
The project consists of provocative signs created by the Center for Bioethical Reform (CBR), a national pro-life organization.
According to Gregg Cunningham, executive director of CBR, "The exhibit was inspired by the tragic series of encounters between black suspects and white police officers in which the suspects lost their lives while being taken into custody."
The Black Lives Matters slogan took on new life in Ferguson, Missouri and was recently the theme of protesters in Baltimore after another shooting occurred there.
The Fayetteville exhibit was sponsored by the Life Education and Resource Network (L.E.E.R.N.), the largest African American pro-life network in America, and the response was huge.
Rev. Hunter said the "Black Lives Matter" displays they exhibited also included a picture of an the aborted child.
The message each sign conveyed was that all black lives matter, born and unborn.
Additional signs read: "Hands up don't shoot", and "Abortion Suppresses The Black Vote."
"It was the most moving thing," Dr. Johnny Hunter an exhibit organizer reported.
Hunter said the students stopped in their tracks when they saw the display.
In addition, the black students enthusiastically took copies of Maafa21, a documentary about the racist history of abortion produced by Life Dynamics, which features a powerful sermon of Rev. Hunter's.
Another organizer, Rev. Clenard Childress, founder of Black Genocide.org, also spoke to Life Dynamics about the event and pointed out that Planned Parenthood's racist founder, Margaret Sanger used religion i.e. "black pastors" to hide her eugenic plot.
"In our exchanges with hundreds of students, and with the golden opportunity to debate over the campus radio station, it was quite evident faith is still vital in the presentation of the truth in the pro-life debate. In the final analysis, we see that a very high percentage of the African American students consider their faith as important and that abortion is a violation of their faith. Hearts were won and opinions changed!" Rev Childress stated.
"After viewing the signs, many students sat down and read the pamphlets we were handing out.
"We passed out Mark Cruthcher's MAAFA 21 to both students and staff. One teacher even played it while we were there in their sociology class," he stated.
Rev. Hunter added that, "Even students that professed to be pro-choice had to do some thinking after the dialoguing went on."
Hunter said that Planned Parenthood and their supporters tried to shut down the display but failed.
"The most powerful part of all is when I looked at the sheet we had put out for students to sign up and almost thirty students had signed up to do something when this was over with," he said.

Media Ignores 400 Blacks Marching to Defund Abortion which Targets their Race
Posted in Black Conservative, Black Genocide, Black Neighborhood, Black Pastor, Blacks protest abortionn with tags Abortion, black march, Clenard Childress, Dr. Johnny Hunter, Dr. Kermit Gosnell, Eugenics, Life Education And Resource Network, Pro-Life, Racism, Say So March, SCOTUS on October 24, 2014 by saynsumthn
They called it the Say So March and on October October 11,12,13 of 2014 Blacks held demonstrations in cities nationwide to draw attention to the large numbers of African Americans targeted for abortion.
The group Marched in DC to the steps of the Supreme Court with a message, "Stop Funding Racism from Abortion."
The event was sponsored by the The Life Education And Resource Network, LEARN, which is the largest African American Pro-life network in the country.
The purpose of the demonstrations, according to the group's press release, was to encourage social activism and bring national attention to the 1,786 African American children killed each day by abortion.
Though African American women make up 12% of the population, they account for 37% of all abortions. African Americans in the United States are presently beneath the replacement rate of the existing population, the group explained.
In one of several locations where protests were held, Black leaders assembled at outside Philadelphia's House of Horrors abortion clinic once owned by now jailed Kermit Gosnell:
Despite over 400 people (predominately African Americans) participating in demonstrations in Newark, NJ, Lawnside, NJ, Philadelphia, PA, District Heights, MD, and Washington, DC., the media virtually ignored them.
Connie Eller, President of Missouri Blacks for Life, traveled from St. Louis to participate in the March. She stated, "The endangerment of women nationally is at an all time high. Can you imagine the carnage that is going to result in California and any other state that permits such a deplorable standard of care. Is this because predominately these will be African American women? This is racism at its worse."
"Politicians and the Pulpits of Black America have betrayed its people. They have been Shepard's leading the sheep to the slaughter," stated Rev Luke Robinson, Senior Pastor of Quinn Chapel AME Church of Fredericksburg Maryland. Rev Robinson was the keynote speaker at the rally at District Heights Church of Maryland, "Where are the leaders of righteousness and j common sense? There is no way we can continue on this path of destruction and our established leaders have failed miserably." Rev Luke Robinson also heads The Voice Of Truth and Life Ministries of Maryland.
In 1999, the group held a similar demonstration as documented in the video below:
In that 1999 March, LEARN's National Director Johnny Hunter, called for a boycott of abortion giant Planned Parenthood in 1999, "We have had to boycott buses in the pass, we have had to boycott grocery stores, we wouldn't even buy toothpaste if we didn't like it. Its a simple solution, boycott Planned Parenthood."
Rev. Hunter was later the featured preacher at the conclusion of the documentary, Maafa21, which exposed the racial targeting of abortion on the Black community.
The film has been screened nationwide and can be viewed in full here ( http://www.maafa21.com.)

The group says they will eventually March in DC to the steps of the Supreme Court and they have a message, "Stop Funding Racism from Abortion."
Your Prayerful Presence Will Make A Difference
If You Love The Children Say So !
The event is sponsored by the The Life Education And Resource Network, LEARN, which is the largest African American Pro-life network in the country.
The purpose of the demonstrations, according to the group's press release, is to encourage social activism and bring national attention to the 1,786 African American children killed each day by abortion.
Marches will be held in Newark NJ, Lawanside NJ, Philadelphia PA, District Heights of Maryland and Washington Dc.
Also present at the 1999 March was Starr Parker the founder and president of CURE who added, "It is time for us to wake up and stop this holocaust. It is time for our congressional leaders and Supreme Court to understand that we need a new civil rights amendment. We need to overthrow Roe v Wade! It is time for us to stand up and say Roe V Wade and Dred Scott read verbatim and there is something wrong with calling a human being, a human life, property."
Organizers for the 2014 March say they are outraged that Black Civil Rights groups have not defended the unborn!
They point out that as part of the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation (CBCF) 44th Annual Legislative Conference, Planned Parenthood Federation of America will partner with honorary host Congresswoman Robin Kelly and sponsor BET Networks for an issue forum on Saturday, September 27, at 10 a.m.
This blog has written about the connections the Black Caucus has with Planned Parenthood in the past (here).
"It is abominable and the epitome of gross negligence when black elected officials caucus and plan with the leading killer of black children and facilitators of mental anguish of black women," stated Rev Dr. Clenard Childress Jr. assistant to the National Director and founder of the website BlackGenocide.org.
Rev Clenard Childress, who is the chief organizer of this march, points out that "National attention would be nice but national conviction is why we are marching. African Americans whether they are Democrat, Republican or Independent cannot any longer allow public perception to be that people of color condone and support the dismemberment of children in the womb."

Black leaders from LEARN – such as Dr. Johnny Hunter, Dr. Clenard Childress, Akua Ferlow , Star Parker president of C.U.R.E.
"Stop giving to groups that are trying to wipe us out. We're calling on all Black folks that the way to stop this thing is a very simple solution. We've had to boycott buses in the past. We've had to boycott grocery stores; we wouldn't even buy toothpaste if they didn't like us. Well, I've got a solution- it's a very simple thing. Let's boycott the abortion industry." ~ Dr. Johnny Hunter
"It is time for the Congressional leaders and the Supreme Court to understand that we need a new civil rights amendment, we need to overthrow Roe. V. Wade. It is time for us to stand up and say Roe v. Wade and Dred Scott read verbatim. And there is something wrong with calling a human being – a human life- PROPERTY. We are calling today for a boycott of Planned Parenthood. We want you to shut up your doors and leave our communities right now. We are calling on Black America to stop going into these clinics. They are convincing you that they are providers of health care and they are providers of slaughter and we want them to leave our neighborhoods…It is time for the pastors to stand up- get some back bone and see what is happening in our neighborhoods."
"If we believe murder to be wrong only because of human suffering involved we have an unstable foundation for making an ethical decision. The basic criteria for such decision will be the desire to minimize suffering instead of developing respect for life. Eventually that criteria or that basis provides the rationale for abortion of the handicapped and the deformed babies."
"One of the problems with the fall of Rome, let me tell you how they became so immoral. That mothers were having children. They didn't have abortions they would go ahead and have the children and put them on the street. And the government, the Roman authorities, forbid anyone to touch the babies, let them die. But, the Church, under the threat of death, would go out in the street and get the babies. And many of them were persecuted many of them were killed. But, they went out anyway and would pick up the children and take the children home and raise the children. That's what a remnant church does. A remnant church isn't just sitt'n up talking about how they're going to get blessed and how they're going to get debt free. A remnant church are those who are willing to go in the streets and pick up what was laying on the wayside and not sit up and talk about how inconvenient this might be. When do we place a value on life?" ~ Bishop Eddie Long
Blacks protest NAACP Image Awards for Eugenics and Planned Parenthood abortion support
Posted in Johnny Hunter, NAACP, Planned Parenthood and NAACP with tags Abortion, African American, black protest, Dr. Johnny Hunter, Eugenics, NAACP, Planned Parenthood, Stephen Broden, Twitter, Walter Hoye on February 3, 2013 by saynsumthn
Black activists gathered in Los Angeles Friday afternoon to protest the NAACP Image Awards, and make the statement that, because of the NAACP's support of abortion the NAACP was complicit in eugenics against the black race.
Dr. Johnny Hunter, Dallas Pastor Stephen Broden, Rev. Walter Hoye, among others also asked the NAACP why they were not speaking out after Planned Parenthood allowed a 24 year-old African American abortion patient to bleed to death.
The group's twitter page was suspended prior to the protest in what Mark Crutcher, President of Life Dynamics described in his blog as being "Yetted" referring to a black activist from the 60's and 70's by the name of Samuel Yette who was silenced when he wrote a book exposing population control targeting blacks years ago.
Samuele Yette's Ghost and the NAACP
Posted in Johnny Hunter, NAACP, Planned Parenthood and NAACP, Samuel Yette with tags Abortion, Dr. Johnny Hunter, Eugenics, NAACP, Newsweek, Planned Parenthood, Samuel Yette, Twitter on February 1, 2013 by saynsumthn
By Mark Crutcher
It's January, 2013. Dr. Johnny Hunter, a Black man, is quoted on Twitter criticizing the association between the NAACP and Planned Parenthood because of that organization's racist and eugenics history. Within minutes, after saying that Planned Parenthood has the NAACP on a leash, this Black group's Twitter account is suspended and taken down. To put it succinctly, Hunter had been "Yetted."
If you're not familiar with that concept, let me offer a short history lesson.
In January of 2011, an African-American man named Samuel Frederick Yette died in a Maryland nursing home. He was a man of enormous accomplishments having earned two college degrees, been an officer in the Air Force as well as an award-winning journalist, author, lecturer and university professor. In 1964, he had been appointed Executive Secretary of the Peace Corp after which he became Special Assistant for Civil Rights to the Director of the U.S. Office of Economic Opportunity. He later became the first Black reporter hired by Newsweek magazine where he rose to the position of Washington D.C. Bureau Correspondent.
But in 1968, Mr. Yette wrote a book exposing high-level plans within the United States to use birth control and abortion as instruments of Black genocide. Immediately after this book was published, Yette was summoned to his supervisor's office and fired. He was told that Newsweek was under pressure from the Nixon White House to get him out of Washington. Later, despite the fact that his book was selling well, had won at least two national awards and was being used as a textbook in colleges across the country, Yette's publisher dropped him and took the book off the market.
Mr. Yette was chopped off at the knees because, by the late 60s, population control – especially Black population control – had become a virtual religion for America's power structure. And these people do not tolerate dissent well – especially when it comes from uppity Black opinion molders. Yette described the situation perfectly in January of 1972 when he told a reporter for Jet magazine: "I do not mean to be pejorative or vindictive, when I say this, but had I been a nigger instead of Black, a spy instead of a reporter, a tool instead of a man, I could have stayed at Newsweek indefinitely."
Now if you're tempted to think that this has changed over the years, let me remind you what happened to 2012 Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain. As his campaign picked up steam, he began reminding the public that Planned Parenthood had been founded by ultra-wealthy white racists and eugenicists. He went on to point out that Planned Parenthood was carrying out the agenda these people had laid out by disproportionately placing their abortion and birth control facilities in minority communities. Then, within just a few hours after he started calling for Planned Parenthood to be stripped of its taxpayer funding, anonymous women started dropping out of the trees to claim that he had sexually harassed them.
Eventually, Herman Cain was forced out of the race and, to no one's surprise, these women disappeared as quickly and mysteriously as they had appeared. Somehow, the allegations and the alligators evaporated simultaneously.
Today, America's "Population-Control / Family-Planning Cartel" includes the politically ambitious quislings and shameless hucksters over at the NAACP. The fact is, given their unholy marriage to Planned Parenthood, it seems appropriate for the NAACP to just go ahead and change its name to the National Association for the Abortion of Colored People. When my friend, Johnny Hunter, began to point that out, it was inevitable that he would be Yetted.

WNW has recently launched a new website for Torquay Boys Grammar School.
We have worked closely with the school in order to include all the information required of a school as well as the features which they wanted their site to have.
This website needed to be clear for new users to navigate as well as existing parents, including all the information which both segments would need. This meant we needed to have extremely clear and simple navigation.
Using main topics in the navigation bar and then drop-down menus achieved this simple process for the users while maintaining the sleek look of the website. The navigation bar shrinks when you move down the page to make the best use of the main content area.
OFSTED reports are important to both schools and parents which is why we include this crucial piece of content as our centre of the homepage.
The website is mobile responsive which is an extremely important aspect of a website these days. The feature will also assist them in Google's search rankings, as Google values responsive websites and offers a ranking boost for this aspect.
We included a CMS system using WordPress; this will allow the school to update their own content and add new photos where required. We showed members of the school exactly how to use this feature when they came into our offices.
Why don't you take a look at the new website, and if you are interested in a new website design then feel free to contact us.

UCLA Health Data Breach Affects 4.5 Million Patients: What You Should Know
18 July 2015, 9:58 am EDT By Dianne Depra Tech Times
UCLA Health released a statement Friday saying it was a victim of a data breach, estimating that up to 4.5 million patients could have been affected by the attack.
The cyber-attack involved portions of its network containing personal as well as medical information but UCLA Health said that it doesn't have evidence at the moment to prove that information had actually been acquired or at least accessed. The health system is now working with FBI investigators and has hired experts from a private computer forensics company to get to the bottom of the problem.
"Our patients come first at UCLA Health and confidentiality is a critical part of our commitment to care. We sincerely regret any impact this incident may have on those we serve," said Dr. James Atkinson, president and interim associate vice chancellor for the UCLA Hospital System, adding significant steps have already been taken to provide its network with further protection against data breaches.
Suspicious activity was first detected in the UCLA Health network last year in October, prompting an investigation assisted by the FBI. During that time, it was not apparent that the hackers had gained entry into parts of the network housing medical and personal information.
It was only on May 5 that UCLA Health found that the part of the network in question has been accessed, potentially exposing information like patient names, birth dates, addresses, Social Security numbers, health plan or Medicare ID numbers and others.
While UCLA Health still has no evidence showing patient information had been actually acquired or at least accessed, it is still offering possibly affected individuals with services for identity recovery and restoration to reduce risks. Protection tools for health care identity are also being provided while those whose Medicare ID numbers or Social Security numbers are stored in the affected portions of the network will be getting credit monitoring assistance. All of these are being offered for 12 months free of charge to affected individuals.
UCLA Health will also be sending letters out to affected individuals to provide them with details on how they can access the identity theft services being offered. A website has been established as well to facilitate information dissemination and patients with concerns can get in touch with a representative from UCLA Health weekdays through a special hotline.

HEIHE, China, September 26. /ITAR-TASS/. Russia and the People's Republic of China have founded a joint company to implement a project for the construction of a bridge across Amur River (or Heilong Jiang in Chinese) in the area of the cities of Blagoveshchensk (Amur Region) and Heihe (Chinese province of Heilongjiang), with an amount of needed investments being not determined so far, Heihe Mayor Zhang Enliang told ITAR-TASS on Friday. The construction is to be started in one year's time.
Zhang Enliang pointed out, "We have founded a joint company which will control the process of building the bridge. The newly founded Sino-Russian joint entity will make it possible to start designing the facility, work out standards for the new bridge and determine an amount of investments required for implementing the project". He did not mention a name of the company or who acted as a co-founder on the Russian side.
Earlier, the amount of investments from the Chinese side was estimated at about $220 million, in 2008 prices. Under an interstate agreement, signed in 1995, it is planned to build an automobile bridge and a railway one across the Amur stage-by-stage. A motorway bridge will be the first to be built: its construction is to begin in summer 2015.
The bridge over the Amur river will be more than one kilometer long and 15 meters wide. Traffic will be a two-lane one. Oncoming traffic will be separated by a safety zone in the middle of the bridge. There will be sidewalks on both sides.


The stigma of mental-health exists in many workplaces. In a recent study, 71% of employees indicated concerns of workplace stigma around mental health. Stigma is concerning because it can provide a barrier to action. This barrier becomes an important topic when we see statistics showing that 1 in 3 Canadian employees report having or having had, a mental health condition such as depression or an anxiety disorder. What options are available to approach workplace mental health? How can we build a case to introduce sustainable self-care programs to support this Mental Health landscape in Canada?
We've identified the perception that an employee "lacks capacity", as a key factor driving workplace mental health stigma. This perception has a real impact because it brings an aspiring and suffering colleague to a potential "loss" in the eyes of their peers and leadership. This perception may lead to missing a promotion, being viewed as a drain on resources, and/or leading to the selection of someone else for their desired position. Research into how the brain functions is showing that we can engage practices that not only help counter the effects of major mental health issues, such as depression and anxiety, but also strengthen our ability to be more resilient in the face of mental health issues. This understanding can shift an organizations culture from viewing mental health as a "dysfunction", to viewing mental health as a continuum we all experience and an opportunity to develop skills for sustainable high performance.
Organizations that foster and advocate a research-based understanding of mental health in their workforce create a ripple of positive impact; cultivating self-care abilities within their employees and an overall sense of psychological safety. Based on the mental health data, we at MGC view this work as an important public health initiative. And, with over 5500 studies assessing its effectiveness, we believe that mindfulness is a strategic part of advancing this agenda.
Intentionally crafting a mentally healthy workplace is also good for the bottom-line and the organization as a whole. Employees at large (approximately 87%) believe that a mentally healthy workplace impacts the ability to meet business needs. Wellness approaches at work are a thing of the past; the quickly evolving demographic of knowledge workers are searching for workplaces that promote and advance self-care strategies in the workplace. Moreover, by doing so, you can affect the bottom-line. In a study completed on a training program deployed by MGC at Myplanet, a prominent software development leader, mindfulness training developed skills such as; resilience, stress-reduction, self-awareness and the ability to deal with conflict - this led to a lower risk of turnover indicating a $2,748.52 value for mindfulness training per employee. A recent study conducted by Morneau Shepell found that supporting and treating mental illness can yield a return of $4.80 for every $1 spent. As with any initiative the challenge comes with curating the right training; with research supporting it and a proven track record of sustaining.
With mindfulness research disrupting our way of thinking about mental health, making it accessible and something we can target with specific practices, we can bring mindfulness to the workplace to support and sustain mental health initiatives. Workplace relevant mindfulness training can support resilience, decision-making, focus, interpersonal skills and emotion-regulation - all of which are workplace relevant, and essential skills for the 21st-century knowledge-worker. Approaching mental health in this way, we've found, decreases stigma and increases workplace integration of sustainable self-care practices because the approach towards the topic comes from a place of professional skills development, not dysfunction. Importantly, working with the minds of an organization's greatest asset, it's workforce, is a matter of great importance and consideration. When it comes to mind-training like mindfulness, it is vital to consider the risk of choosing trainers that lack the necessary mental health training and certification to handle the inevitable mental health and substance abuse challenges in the workforce. By selecting experts in both workplace mindfulness and mental health, an organization maximizes their strategic impact of enhancing professional skill and providing empirically supported and sustainable self-care in the workplace.

Ricardo de Albuquerque é um bairro de classe média e classe média-baixa da Zona Norte do município do Rio de Janeiro.
Seu IDH, no ano 2000, era de 0,807, o 84º melhor do município do Rio de Janeiro.

História
Suas terras pertenciam ao engenho N. Sra. De Nazaré, dos herdeiros do capitão Bento de Oliveira Braga.

Do lado leste da Estrada de Ferro Dom Pedro II (depois Central do Brasil), uma parte do engenho de Nazaré ficaria com o fazendeiro Luiz Costa, loteador da região. Ali, o "Lar Brasileiro" fundaria, em 1935, o loteamento "Vila N. Sra. de Pompéia" - aprovado na gestão do prefeito Pedro Ernesto -, onde vários logradouros foram abertos e reconhecidos posteriormente, em terrenos da Cia Suburbana de Terrenos e Construções S.A. A Igreja Nossa Senhora de Pompéia, construída na região, teria como seu primeiro vigário o padre Aldolino Gesser.

Possui uma estação ferroviária inaugurada no dia 1º de julho de 1913 em homenagem ao poeta e diretor da ferrovia Coronel José Ricardo de Albuquerque, fica a 24,45 km da Estação Central do Brasil, sendo a quadragésima quarta estação. Na década de 1950 saía desta estação um ramal de uso militar que seguia para base militar no campo de Gericinó e cujo leito acompanhava a estrada do Engenho Novo e dividia um morro em dois, fazendo no meio um corte chamado de "Rasgão", atualmente extinto e desaparecido.

Na avenida Marechal Alencastro fica o cemitério de Ricardo de Albuquerque, que faz limite com a extensa área militar do campo de Gericinó. À leste da ferrovia, no início do século XX, as terras pertenciam a Dona Joana Fontoura, que vendia lotes próximos a estrada do Camboatá. O coronel Carneiro da Fontoura dela compraria um lote para a sua chácara, para os lados da estrada Dona Joana (atual rua Fernando Lobo) e estrada do Alcobaça (atual rua Alcobaça), naqueles campos e colinas verdejantes, atualmente ocupados por loteamentos proletários e comunidades de baixa renda.

O bairro faz divisa com Realengo à oeste; Anchieta e Parque Anchieta ao norte; Guadalupe ao leste; e Deodoro e Vila Militar ao sul.

Antigamente existiam fazendas nesta localidade, a maior delas sendo conhecida pelo nome de "Sapopemba". O trem àquela época já circulava e fazia paradas nessa região. Por causa dessa fazenda, o nome da estação - e do bairro por extensão - era Parada Sapopemba.

Cultura
O grupo de pagode Pique Novo teve berço nesse bairro, começando a carreira nesse lugar no final de 1989 e o bairro possui duas escolas de samba: Arame de Ricardo e Império Ricardense.

Dados
O bairro de Ricardo de Albuquerque faz parte da região administrativa de Anchieta. Os bairros integrantes da região administrativa são: Anchieta, Guadalupe, Parque Anchieta e Ricardo de Albuquerque.

A denominação, delimitação e codificação do bairro foi estabelecida pelo Decreto Nº 3158, de 23 de julho de 1981 com alterações do Decreto Nº 5280, de 23 de agosto de 1985.

Estação de Trem
Inaugurada em 1913 pela Estrada de Ferro Central do Brasil, a estação atualmente faz parte do Ramal Japeri da concessionária de trens urbanos SuperVia e recebeu sua edificação atual no ano de 2000. Foi umas das 6 estações estratégicas para os Jogos Olimpicos realizados no Rio em 2016.

Escolas
Jardim Escola Janelinha para o mundo, Colégio Quintanilha, Educandário Newton Monteiro, Faetec, Instituto educacional aprender e aprender, Colégio Ricardense, Coelho Neto, Noronha Santos, Narbal Fontes, Alexandre Farah e Centro Educacional Cassiano Figueiredo.

Suicide bomb targets Italian army trainers in Somali capital
NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) — A suicide car bomber on Monday targeted a European Union military convoy carrying Italian military trainers in the Somali capital, a Somali police officer said.
The car bomber detonated his explosives-laden vehicle next to a military convoy near Somalia's defense ministry compound, injuring several soldiers, said Capt. Mohamed Hussein. One civilian was killed in the powerful blast, he said.
Somalia's Islamic extremist rebels, al-Shabab, claimed responsibility for the blast through its radio arm, Andalus.
There was no immediate comment from the European Union on the attack on its military convoy. The Italian military trainers were reportedly trainings members of the Somali army.

The name Bartlett immediately brings to mind Bartlett Wash, a giant slickrock playground in Moab filled with sweeping wall rides, natural drops, and endless line choices that are only limited by your imagination and the capability of your equipment. It's a name well-suited to MRP's new dual-crown fork intended for enduro, freeride, and bike park riding. Typically you'd only find 170mm of travel on burly single-crown forks, but there's been a recent resurgence in the popularity of running a lightweight dual-crown fork on your enduro or park sled for greater chassis stiffness and better steering precision, characteristics that improve the fork's handling when you're charging hard on aggressive terrain. Packed with all the revolutionary technology that MRP has developed in recent years, the Bartlett 27.5 170 Boost Fork is ready to slay big lines without a big weight increase.
Like their award-winning Ribbon fork, the Bartlett uses MRP's FulFill air spring with independently adjustable positive and negative air chambers. If you want a super supple feel off the top, you can run a little more negative air pressure for smooth bump-gobbling trail manners. For a more supportive feel off the top, run a little more positive pressure to keep the fork riding higher in its travel on those high-speed bike park flow trails with jumps and bigger hits. For balanced performance, you can always run the chambers at equal pressures.
In addition to the independently adjustable air chambers, MRP incorporates their on-the-fly Ramp Control system that lets you tune the progressivity of the fork with a 16-position knob. Turning up the Ramp Control adds speed-sensitive end-stroke and bottom-out force control to better mitigate violent, high-speed impacts without the need to disassemble the fork and add volume spacers. That being said, the Bartlett does have the ability to run Huck Pucks—threaded spacers that you can add to the Ramp Control cartridge for macro-tuning of the air spring volume. Once you've found your perfect settings, you can keep the fork feeling consistent with the PSST valves. Changes in elevation and temperature cause pressure build-up in the fork lowers that can radically alter the feel of the stroke. Rather than having to insert zip ties into the fork lowers to bleed that excess air, the PSST valves do it at the press of a button, ensuring your fork's performance doesn't suffer at nose-bleed inducing elevations.
MRP uses a twin-tube damper for this fork rather than an open-bath or mono-tube design. They claim this offers advantages in performance, ride control, and durability compared to the aforementioned designs. Furthermore, the damper uses a low-pressure internal floating piston instead of a bladder, reducing stiction and providing more reliability and consistency over long-term use. You get 8 clicks of low-speed compression adjustment and a speed-sensitive rebound adjustment that responds well to all types of terrain. Additionally, the travel is internally adjustable in 5mm increments, and the fork's chassis comes with MRP's signature Outcast arch design that puts the weight reliefs in a forward-facing position to mitigate mud build-up in the arch, something we've all experienced with conventional arch designs.

National Gallery acquires Renaissance painting by Lucas Cranach the Elder
From Wednesday, 20 February 2019, visitors to the National Gallery will be able to view a new acquisition by one of the Renaissance's most significant figures by Lucas Cranach, the elder.
Venus and Cupid (1529) by Lucas Cranach the Elder (1472–1553), one of the leading German painters of the early 16th century, will be displayed in Room 4 and is an important addition to the National Gallery's impressive collection of paintings by an artist widely regarded as a master of the German Renaissance.
The painting has been generously gifted to the National Gallery from the Drue Heinz Charitable Trust following the death last year of Mrs Heinz, a committed and renowned patron of the arts in the United States and Britain.
The painting depicts two mythological figures and is one of a series that Cranach produced during the 1520s and 30s, including the National Gallery's own Cupid complaining to Venus (about 1525).
One of the characteristics that defines Cranach's career is his practice of producing a range of works based on similar subject matter.
With this new acquisition, Gallery visitors will now be able to see the small variations made over time between two of Cranach's Venus and Cupid works and understand how a much sought-after Renaissance artist organised his workshop to produce pictures on popular subjects.
The painting, in Cranach's distinctive, mature style, depicts Venus unclothed, except for a transparent veil she holds in her left hand, alongside Cupid in a landscape setting.
In a notable change from the National Gallery's other version – which was most likely created first – the wings of Cupid are now red and match the broad-brimmed red velvet hat worn by Venus.
As court painter to successive Electors of Saxony, Cranach was working in Wittenberg, considered to be the centre of the Protestant Reformation which he embraced, and even painted several portraits of his friend Martin Luther.
With this acquisition, visitors can continue to experience the effect this movement had on art, as the demand for overtly religious painting in parts of Europe decreased and instead gave rise to a focus on Classical mythology.
A plaque found on the tree in the painting, referencing a Greek poem, explains that Cupid, after stealing a honeycomb, has been stung by a bee.
Offering the moral lesson that pleasure is brief but pain can be enduring, this would have been familiar to many at the time as the prominent Lutheran Philip Melanchthon – another friend of Cranach at Wittenberg – was producing Latin variants of the poem.
Furthering the religious context, the headdress of Venus carries an inscription in German that reads 'all is vanity' – a reference to the book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament.
Curator of Early Netherlandish, German, and British Paintings Susan Foister said: "This exquisite small painting shows off Cranach's characteristic combination of moral purpose with painterly delight in the representation of the female nude set in an idyllic landscape."
The public are now able to view Venus and Cupid, which has only been on UK public display once since the 1950s, due to the legacy donation by Mrs Drue Heinz. The painting, which had previously been in the Cook Collection since at least 1915, was first acquired by the Heinz family in 1964, and it subsequently passed to Mrs Heinz who most generously chose to leave the painting to the nation.
National Gallery Director, Dr Gabriele Finaldi, said: "Venus and Cupid is a significant addition to the Gallery's representation of Cranach, one of the most impressive and prolific painters of the Renaissance in Germany. We are grateful to Mrs Heinz and her charitable trust for this generous gift to the nation."

Kushner bid to buy the Globe keeps inching along
On April 29, 2011 By Dan KennedyIn Media
A lightly publicized effort to buy the Boston Globe from the New York Times Co. continues to inch forward.
Casey Ross, writing in the Globe, reports that businessman Aaron Kushner is prepared to offer more than $200 million for the Globe, the Telegram & Gazette of Worcester and Boston.com. That's considerably more than the $35 million figure that was bandied about two summers ago, which the Times Co. ultimately chose to walk away from.
No one even knows if the Sulzberger family would consider selling the Globe at this point, and Kushner is just a guy with money. What makes his bid interesting is that he's pulled into his group such people as former Globe publisher Ben Taylor, his cousin Stephen Taylor, a former Globe executive, and Ben Bradlee Jr., a former top editor. (The Taylors were also involved in one of the efforts to buy the Globe two years ago.)
As Ross notes, the Globe is doing better today than it was during the crash-and-burn summer of 2009, though it's hardly out of the woods. A lot of us would welcome a return to local ownership as long as that wouldn't presage either a wholesale dismantling or a diminution of news standards and values. Kushner sounds serious about wanting to reinvent the Globe, though I suspect he's kidding himself if he thinks he's got some secret formula.
Earlier this year, Katherine Ozment profiled Kushner for Boston magazine. He did not, shall we say, come across as the second coming of Gen. Charles H. Taylor. Nevertheless, this is an intriguing moment in the life of the region's dominant media organization.

Sounds like Mr. Kushner absorbed a lot of the local zeitgeist while he was getting his degrees at Stanford. I will leave it to others as to whether that is a good thing.

I'm sorry but I can't help but remember that in the original "Get Smart", Don Adams would tell him mother-in-law that he was a greeting card salesman because he couldn't tell her he was a secret agent. How ironic.

Energizing Europe
Construction of the Trans-Anatolian Gas Pipeline (TANAP) is on schedule, even ahead of schedule, to be completed for commissioning at the end of 2020. It will transport natural gas from the Caspian Sea basin to Turkey and Europe. Turkmenistan can be directly connected to this system only through construction an offshore pipeline from Turkmenistan to Azerbaijan across the Caspian Sea (Trans-Caspian Pipeline, TCP). Turkmenistan's strategic long-term objective is to export available large volumes of gas to the EU. A framework agreement to supply Turkey with gas was already signed in November 2014.
The EU's interest in Turkmen gas makes the TCP an integral part of the Southern Gas Corridor. The TCP is an offshore pipeline in the Caspian Sea with a length of 300 kilmetres and a currently-planned full capacity of 32 billion cubic metres per year (bcm/y). The TCP will branch off from a connection with the East-West Pipeline (EWP) within Turkmenistan, at the Turkmen shore of the Caspian Sea. It will be connected to Sangachal terminal in Azerbaijan, whence to the expanded South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP) for natural gas. From the SCP, gas can then be transported to Europe via the TANAP-plus-TAP system, then at a later stage through the White Stream. Turkmen gas will thus be linked directly into the European gas grid.
The circumstances for implementing the TCP have never been more favourable and advantageous. Economies in Central and Northern Europe that wish to increase their use gas as an economically justified way to reduce of CO2 emissions and smooth the transition to renewables, would welcome significant volumes of Turkmen gas in order to enhance competition if these are supplied in a timely fashion and via lowest-cost routes. The White Stream route makes both Turkmen and Azeri gas price-competitive in Central and Northern Europe and other critical markets, because it does not require expensive new infrastructure.
It is essential not to delay the implementation of the requisite infrastructure projects. Although there are no legal barriers to White Stream, obtaining crossing permits in a timely manner will encourage intergovernmental format of negotiations. Coastal states do not have the legal means to prevent construction and operation of White Stream. The existence of Blue Stream (or Turkish Stream in future) is not a legal (or technical) obstacle to White Stream. There are many cases where undersea pipelines cross other pipelines and cables.
It is important to debunk the oft-encountered, misinformed and incorrect view that development of a system to carry 30-40 bcm/y of Turkmen gas to European markets would require installation of major new infrastructure costing many billions of dollars. The argument that expensive new infrastructure is needed, depends upon the assumption that the Turkish route will be used for bringing Turkmen gas to Baumgarten. Not only is the Black Sea route from Georgia more direct than that, however, but also in combination with existing pipelines such as the TBP, it makes the gas much less expensive.
Proven deep-water technology dictates the phased development of the White Stream pipeline project, with two separate strings, each optimally carrying 16 bcm/y. Technical examination of the option for the Black Sea crossing using LNG tankers revealed that the pipeline has very significant commercial advantages for a sufficiently large demand by EU Member States.
Moreover, the trans-Black Sea pipeline option creates, for the producer, a much higher confidence in security of demand, in comparison, for example, with the floating LNG option. That higher security of demand is necessary for success of the Trans-Caspian Pipeline.
The two entry-point option reduces geopolitical risks by diversifying routes and, still more important, reduces cost by bringing Turkmen gas to Central Europe via the White Stream and Trans-Balkan Pipeline (TBP) rather than via Turkey.


The late Mrinal Sen's career took off with a 1959 film, Neel Akasher Neechey, a rare portrait of a Chinese protagonist in Indian cinema.
Mrinal Sen's directorial career started with a hiccup. Raat Bhore, starring Uttam Kumar and Sabitri Chatterjee as the lead pair, was released the same year as Sen's contemporary Satyajit Ray released Pather Panchali (1955). But while Pather Panchali made Ray the immediate toast of the town (and the world), Raat Bhore sank at the box office and was panned by the critics.
In 1959, however, Mrinal Sen made a second film, Neel Akasher Neechey, and this one gained him both popular approval and acclaim from high places. Even here, though, Sen was not the first choice as director. The singercomposer Hemanta Mukherjee (known to Hindi film-viewers as Hemant Kumar) was starting his own film production house and initially approached Sen only to write the script. It was only later, when he had disagreements with the director he had chosen, that Hemanta decided to offer the job to Sen.
Based on a piece called 'Cheeni Feriwalla' from the famous Hindi writer Mahadevi Varma's book Smriti ki Rekhayein (Lines of Memory), the film traces the unexpected connection that develops between an itinerant Chinese peddler and a Bengali housewife who is an active participant in Gandhi's Civil Disobedience Movement. The treatment of the central relationship tugs unabashedly at heart-strings – Mrinal Sen later looked back at it as embarrassingly sentimental. But the thematic content is interesting even today.
Neel Akasher Neechey opens in the Kolkata of 1930, and in bringing that historical-political context to life with shots of newspaper headlines, nationalist speeches, and street-corner protests, Sen shows glimpses of the fullfrontal political filmmaking that he would later be identified with. The first time we see our protagonist, Kali Banerjee as Wang Lu, he is but a blip on a screen dominated by a horde of schoolboys chanting, "The policeman's stick, we don't fear it!" The city is in the grip of nationalist fervour, and the Chinese street seller is caught unawares. But the policeman who grabs him also lets him go almost immediately, recognising an outsider even as they both speak in Hindustani – as Calcuttans used to call the hybrid Hindi of the city's streets, a lingua franca likely shaped by the Bengali speaker's inability to handle the high genderedness of Khari Boli Hindi, and spoken by the polyglot city of Biharis and Anglo-Indians and Armenians and yes, the Chinese.
Among the first interactions the film shows between Wang and the locals is another troupe of children following him in the streets, yelling, "Here comes the Chinaman, he'll take you away!" The scene offers up the first of the urban myths that seem to follow the foreigner in India. One little girl tries to stop the other kids, but even her childish sweetness is based on the belief that if you call a Chinaman a Chinaman, you'll turn into one yourself, conjuring up what is to her clearly a horrifying vision ("Chinaman ke Chinaman bolle, shobai Chinaman hoye jabe"). Another weird Chinaman myth is provided by a household help called Haran, who claims they save their ill-gotten gains as gold teeth.
The exchange between Wang and the little girl evokes another important film of the period, Kabuliwala, which was made in Bengali in 1957 and in Hindi in 1961. Based on Tagore's 1892 short story, it was also centred on a man from a distant country who walks the streets of Calcutta selling things. And sure enough, this is borne out by what happens next. Where the Afghan Kabuliwala saw his far-away daughter in the figure of little Mini, Sen's lonely Chinese-silk-seller begins to see his long-lost sister in Basanti, the Bengali bhadramahila whose colloquial use of "bhai" Wang hears literally.
The sister-brother theme is, of course, one that has particular resonance in Bengali cinema, from Pather Panchali's Durga and Apu to Ritwik Ghatak's Subarnarekha and Meghe Dhaka Tara. But here Sen uses it to a broader effect, suggesting a bond of kinship across class and language and country. He even brings in the rakhitying that was adopted by Bengal's Swadeshi movement to produce a ritual bond between communities.
Calcutta's Chinatown appeared in several big Hindi films of the period, notably Howrah Bridge (1958) and Chinatown (1962), both made by Shakti Samanta. But it served primarily as a setting for illegalities, with the depiction of the Chinese community stopping at Helen singing 'Mera Naam Chin Chin Chu' and Madan Puri as a Chinese villain named John Chang. In Neel Akasher Neechey, that depiction feels more substantial: the Tiretta Bazar ghetto where Wang lives, the Chinese temple where he once prays, the dhaba where a mix of locals and Chinese men eat, the latter eating their rice with chopsticks from a bowl. Together with a running stereotype of all Chinamen being involved in the opium trade, Sen creates a vivid picture of life in Calcutta as a Chinese alien.
It is a sad comment on how little faith our state has in our people that declining Sino-Indian relations after 1962 led the same film to be banned, albeit briefly.

Evidence for ocean water invasion into the Chicxulub crater at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary
Goto, K.; Tada, R.; Tajika, E.; Bralower, T. J.; Hasegawa, T.; Matsui, T. (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
The possibility of ocean water invasion into the Chicxulub crater following the impact at the Cretaceous/Tertiary boundary was investigated based on examination of an impactite between approximately 794.63 and 894.94 m in the Yaxcopoil‐1 (Yax‐1) core. The presence of cross lamination in the uppermost part of the impactite suggests the influence of an ocean current at least during the sedimentation of this interval. Abundant occurrence of nannofossils of late Campanian to early Maastrichtian age in the matrices of samples from the upper part of the impactite suggests that the carbonate sediments deposited on the inner rim margin and outside the crater were eroded and transported into the crater most likely by ocean water that invaded the crater after its formation. The maximum grain size of limestone lithics and vesicular melt fragments, and grain and bulk chemical compositions show a cyclic variation in the upper part of the impactite. The upward fining grain size and the absence of erosional contact at the base of each cycle suggest that the sediments were derived from resuspension of units elsewhere in the crater, most likely by high energy currents association with ocean water invasion.
Oxygen isotopic alteration in Ca‐Al‐rich inclusions from Efremovka: Nebular or parent body setting?
Fagan, T. J.; Krot, A. N.; Keil, K.; Yurimoto, H. (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
In situ SIMS oxygen isotope data were collected from a coarse‐grained type B1 Ca‐Al‐rich inclusion (CAI) and an adjacent fine‐grained CAI in the reduced CV3 Efremovka to evaluate the timing of isotopic alteration of these two objects. The coarse‐grained CAI (CGI‐10) is a sub‐spherical object composed of elongate, euhedral, normally‐zoned melilite crystals ranging up to several hundreds of Pm in length, coarse‐grained anorthite and Al, Ti‐diopside (fassaite), all with finegrained (∼10 μm across) inclusions of spinel. Similar to many previously examined coarse‐grained CAIs from CV chondrites, spinel and fassaite are 16O‐rich and melilite is 16O‐poor, but in contrast to many previous results, anorthite is 16O‐rich. Isotopic composition does not vary with textural setting in the CAI: analyses of melilite from the core and mantle and analyses from a variety of major element compositions yield consistent 16O‐poor compositions. CGI‐10 originated in an 16O‐rich environment, and subsequent alteration resulted in complete isotopic exchange in melilite. The fine‐grained CAI (FGI‐12) also preserves evidence of a 1st‐generation origin in an 16O‐rich setting but underwent less severe isotopic alteration. FGI‐12 is composed of spinel ± melilite nodules linked by a mass of Al‐diopside and minor forsterite along the CAI rim. All minerals are very fine‐grained (<5 μm) with no apparent igneous textures or zoning. Spinel, Al‐diopside, and forsterite are 16O‐rich, while melilite is variably depleted in 16O (δ17,18O from ∼‐40‰ to −5‰). The contrast in isotopic distributions in CGI‐10 and FGI‐12 is opposite to the pattern that would result from simultaneous alteration: the object with finer‐grained melilite and a greater surface area/ volume has undergone less isotopic exchange than the coarser‐grained object. Thus, the two CAIs were altered in different settings. As the CAIs are adjacent to each other in the meteorite, isotopic exchange in CGI‐10 must have preceded incorporation of this CAI in the Efremovka parent body. This supports a nebular setting for isotopic alteration of the commonly observed 16O‐poor melilite in coarse‐grained CAIs from CV chondrites.

I-Xe measurements of CAIs and chondrules from the CV3 chondrites Mokoia and Vigarano
Whitby, J. A.; Russell, S. S.; Turner, G.; Gilmour, J. D. (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
I-Xe analyses were carried out for chondrules and refractory inclusions from the two CV3 carbonaceous chondrites Mokoia and Vigarano (representing the oxidized and reduced subgroups, respectively). Although some degree of disturbance to the I-Xe system is evident in all of the samples, evidence is preserved of aqueous alteration of CAIs in Mokoia 1 Myr later than the I-Xe age of the Shallowater standard and of the alteration of a chondrule (V3) from Vigarano ~0.7 Myr later than Shallowater. Other chondrules in Mokoia and Vigarano experienced disturbance of the I-Xe system millions of years later and, in the case of one Vigarano chondrule (VS1), complete resetting of the I-Xe system after decay of essentially all 129I, corresponding to an age more than 80 Myr after Shallowater. Our interpretation is that accretion and processing to form the Mokoia and Vigarano parent bodies must have continued for at least 4 Myr and 80 Myr, respectively. The late age of a chondrule that shows no evidence for any aqueous alteration or significant thermal processing after its formation leads us to postulate the existence of an energetic chondrule-forming mechanism at a time when nebular processes are not expected to be important.
Aerogel keystones: Extraction of complete hypervelocity impact events from aerogel collectors
Westphal, Andrew J.; Snead, Christopher; Butterworth, Anna; Graham, Giles A.; Bradley, John P.; Bajt, Sasa; Grant, Patrick G.; Bench, Graham; Brennan, Sean; Pianetta, Piero (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
In January 2006, the Stardust mission will return the first samples from a solid solar system body beyond the Moon and the first samples of contemporary interstellar dust ever collected. Although sophisticated laboratory instruments exist for the analysis of Stardust samples, techniques for the recovery of particles and particle residues from aerogel collectors remain primitive. Here, we describe our recent progress in developing techniques for extracting small volumes of aerogel, which we have called "keystones," which completely contain particle impacts but minimize the damage to the surrounding aerogel collector. These keystones can be fixed to custom-designed micromachined silicon fixtures (so called "microforklifts"). In this configuration, the samples are self-supporting, which can be advantageous in situations where interference from a supporting substrate is undesirable. The keystones may also be extracted and placed onto a substrate without a fixture. We have also demonstrated the capability of homologously crushing these unmounted keystones for analysis techniques that demand flat samples.
Thuathe, a new H4/5 chondrite from Lesotho: History of the fall, petrography, and geochemistry
Reimold, W. U.; Buchanan, P. C.; Ambrose, D.; Koeberl, C.; Franchi, I.; Lalkhan, C.; Schultz, L.; Franke, L.; Heusser, G. (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
On July 21, 2002, a meteorite fall occurred over the Thuathe plateau of western Lesotho. The well-defined strewn field covers an area of 1.9 x 7.4 km. Many of the recovered specimens display a brecciated texture with leucocratic, angular to subrounded clasts in a somewhat darker groundmass. Mineralogical and chemical data, as well as oxygen isotopic analysis, indicate that Thuathe is an H4/ 5, S2/3 meteorite, with local H3 or H6 character. A number of anomalous features include somewhat high Co contents of kamacite and taenite relative to normal H-group chondrites. Oxygen isotopic data plot at the edge of the normal H chondrite data field. Variable contents of metallic mineral phases and troilite result in a heterogeneous bulk composition (e.g., with regard to Si, Fe, and Mg), resulting in a spread of major element ratios that is not consistent with previously accepted H-group composition. Trace element abundances are generally consistent with H chondritic composition, and Kr and Xe isotopic data agree with an H4 classification for this meteorite. Noble gas analysis gave U, Th-4He gas retention and K-Ar ages typical for H chondrites; no major thermal event affected this material since ~3.7 Ga. The exposure age for Thuathe is 5 Ma, somewhat lower than for other H chondrites. Cosmogenic nuclide analysis indicates a pre-atmospheric radius of this meteorite between 35 and 40 cm. In the absence of evidence for solar gases, we classify Thuathe as a fragmental breccia. Numerous narrow, black veins cut across samples of Thuathe and are the result of a brittle deformation event that also caused local melting, especially in portions rich in sulfide. The formation of these veinlets is not the result of locally enhanced shock pressures (i.e., of shock melting) but rather of shearing under brittle conditions with local, friction-related temperature excursions causing melting mostly of Fe-sulfide and FeNi-metal but also, locally, of silicate minerals. Frictional temperature excursions must have attained values in excess of 1500 degrees C to permit complete melting of forsteritic olivine.
High-calcium pyroxene as an indicator of igneous differentiation in asteroids and meteorites
Sunshine, Jessica M.; Bus, Schelte J.; McCoy, Timothy J.; Burbine, Thomas H.; Corrigan, Catherine M.; Binzel, Richard P. (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
Our analyses of high quality spectra of several S-type asteroids (17 Thetis, 847 Agnia, 808 Merxia, and members of the Agnia and Merxia families) reveal that they include both low- and highcalcium pyroxene with minor amounts of olivine (<20%). In addition, we find that these asteroids have ratios of high-calcium pyroxene to total pyroxene of >~0.4. High-calcium pyroxene is a spectrally detectable and petrologically important indicator of igneous history and may prove critical in future studies aimed at understanding the history of asteroidal bodies. The silicate mineralogy inferred for Thetis and the Merxia and Agnia family members requires that these asteroids experienced igneous differentiation, producing broadly basaltic surface lithologies. Together with 4 Vesta (and its smaller "Vestoid" family members) and the main-belt asteroid 1489 Magnya, these new asteroids provide strong evidence for igneous differentiation of at least five asteroid parent bodies. Based on this analysis of a small subset of the near-infrared asteroid spectra taken to date with SpeX at the NASA IRTF, we expect that the number of known differentiated asteroids will increase, consistent with the large number of parent bodies inferred from studies of iron meteorites.
Sodium-metasomatism in chondrules in CO3 chondrites: Relationship to parent body thermal metamorphism
Tomeoka, Kazushige; Itoh, Daisuke (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
We have studied the mineralogy and petrology of mesostases of 783 type I chondrules in seven CO3 chondrites that range in petrologic subtype from 3.0 to 3.7. Chondrule mesostases in the CO chondrite of subtype 3.0 consist mainly of primary glass and plagioclase, while chondrule mesostases in the CO chondrites of higher subtypes (3.2-3.7) contain various amounts of nepheline in addition to glass and plagioclase. Nepheline has replaced glass and plagioclase, forming finegrained aggregates and thin parallel lamellar intergrowths with plagioclase. The nephelinization has proceeded preferentially from the outer margins of chondrules toward the inside. Although the degree of nephelinization differs widely among chondrules in each of the metamorphosed chondrites, our modal analyses and bulk chemical analyses of individual mesostases indicate that the amounts of nepheline in chondrules systematically increase with the increasing petrologic subtype of the host chondrites. Nepheline also has a tendency to increase in grain size with increasing petrologic subtype. We conclude that nepheline in chondrules in the CO3 chondrites has formed largely as a result of effects related to heating on the meteorite parent body. We suggest that nepheline initially formed as hydrous nepheline under the presence of aqueous fluids and subsequently was dehydrated after exhaustion of aqueous fluids. The degree of hydrothermal activity must have increased with increasing degree of heating, and thus, chondrules in more thermally metamorphosed chondrites produced larger amounts of nepheline. The results imply that CO3 chondrites have gone through lowgrade aqueous alteration and subsequent dehydration at the early stage of heating on the meteorite parent body.
The activity of chromite in multicomponent spinels: Implications for T-fO2 conditions of equilibrated H chondrites
Kessel, Ronit; Beckett, John R.; Huss, Gary R.; Stolper, Edward M. (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
Activities of chromite in multicomponent spinels with compositions similar to those of H chondrites were experimentally determined by equilibrating Pt-alloys with spinel at known temperature and fO2. Our results are consistent with predictions based on the spinel solid solution model incorporated into the MELTS program. Therefore, we combined literature formulations for the activities of components in spinel, the ferromagnesian silicates, and alloys with measured and literature (bulk alloy) compositions of the meteoritic phases to constrain T-fO2 conditions for the Hgroup chondrites Avanhandava (H4), Allegan (H5), and Guarea (H6). Log10fO2 values based on the assemblage of olivine + orthopyroxene + metal are 2.19-2.56 log units below the iron-wstite (IW) buffer for any equilibration temperature between 740 and 990 degrees C, regardless of petrographic type. Only lower limits on fO2 could be determined from spinel + metal equilibria because of the extremely low concentrations of Cr in the alloys of equilibrated H chondrites (3 ppb). Log10fO2 values required by spinel + metal equilibria are inconsistent with those for olivine + orthopyroxene + metal if equilibration temperatures were at or above those inferred from olivine-spinel thermometry. This probably indicates that the closure for spinel + metal equilibria occurred under retrograde conditions at temperatures below ~625 degrees C for Allegan and Guarea and below ~660 degrees C for Avanhandava.
Formation of accretionary dust mantles in the solar nebula: Evidence from preirradiated olivines in CM chondrites
Metzler, Knut (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
CM chondrites are regolith breccias consisting of lithic clasts embedded in a fine-grained clastic matrix. The majority of these lithic clasts belongs to a texturally well-defined rock type (primary rock) that can be described as an agglomerate of chondrules and other coarse-grained components, most of which are surrounded by fine-grained rims (dust mantles). Metzler et al. (1992) explain these textures as the result of accretionary processes in the solar nebula, while an alternative model explains them to be the result of regolith processes on the parent body (Sears et al. 1993). The main intention of the present study is to discern between both models by investigating the occurrence, frequency, spatial distribution, and textural setting of preirradiated (track-rich) olivines in CM chondrites. Track-rich olivines were studied in situ in six polished thin sections from 4 different CM chondrites (Cold Bokkeveld, Mighei, Murchison, Nogoya) by optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It was found that their occurrence is restricted to the clastic matrix of these meteorites. The primary rock seems to have formed in an environment shielded from cosmic radiation, since fragments of this rock are free of track-rich grains and solar noble gases. This finding supports the solar nebula model for the formation of dust mantles around chondrules and other coarse-grained components, and points against a regolith origin. In Cold Bokkeveld, a small breccia-in-breccia clast was found, which has been irradiated as an entity within the uppermost millimeters to meters of its parent body for at least about 3 Ma. This clast seems to represent a compacted subsurface layer that was later excavated by impact and admixed to the host breccia. Furthermore, the results of this study may affect the interpretation of compaction ages obtained by fission track methods, since these ages may be mixtures of different contact ages between finegrained, U-rich dust and U-poor olivines. In some cases, they may date the formation of dust mantles in the solar nebula, while in other cases the lithification of the host breccias may be dated.
Discovery of Earth's quasi-satellite
Connors, Martin; Veillet, Christian; Brasser, Ramon; Wiegert, Paul; Chodas, Paul; Mikkola, Seppo; Innanen, Kimmo (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
The newly discovered asteroid 2003 YN107 is currently a quasi-satellite of the Earth, making a satellite-like orbit of high inclination with apparent period of one year. The term quasisatellite is used since these large orbits are not completely closed, but rather perturbed portions of the asteroid's orbit around the Sun. Due to its extremely Earth-like orbit, this asteroid is influenced by Earth's gravity to remain within 0.1 AU of the Earth for approximately 10 years (1997 to 2006). Prior to this, it had been on a horseshoe orbit closely following Earth's orbit for several hundred years. It will re-enter such an orbit, and make one final libration of 123 years, after which it will have a close interaction with the Earth and transition to a circulating orbit. Chaotic effects limit our ability to determine the origin or fate of this object.
Infrared, Raman, and cathodoluminescence studies of impact glasses
Gucsik, Arnold; Koeberl, Christian; Brandstätter, Franz; Libowitzky, Eugen; Zhang, Ming (The Meteoritical Society, 2004-01-01)
We studied the infrared reflectance (IR), Raman, and cathodoluminescence (CL) spectroscopic signatures and scanning electron microscope-cathodoluminescence (SEM-CL) images of three different types of impact glasses: Aouelloul impact glass, a Muong Nong-type tektite, and Libyan desert glass. Both backscattered electron (BSE) and CL images of the Muong Nong-type tektite are featureless; the BSE image of the Libyan desert glass shows only weak brightness contrasts. For the Aouelloul glass, both BSE and CL images show distinct brightness contrast, and the CL images for the Libyan desert glass show spectacular flow textures that are not visible in any other microscopic method. Compositional data show that the SiO2 composition is relatively higher and the Al2O3 content is lower in the CL-bright areas than in the CL-dark regions. The different appearance of the three glass types in the CL images indicates different peak temperatures during glass formation: the tektite was subjected to the highest temperature, and the Aouelloul impact glass experienced a relatively low formation temperature, while the Libyan desert glass preserves a flow texture that is only visible in the CL images, indicating a medium temperature. All IR reflectance spectra show a major band at around 1040 to 1110 cm^(-1) (antisymmetric stretching of SiO4 tetrahedra), with minor peaks between 745 and 769 cm^(-1) (Si-O-Si angle deformation). Broad bands at 491 and 821 cm^(-1) in the Raman spectra in all samples are most likely related to diaplectic glass remnants, indicating early shock amorphization followed by thermal amorphization. The combination of these spectroscopic methods allows us to deduce information about the peak formation temperature of the glass, and the CL images, in particular, show glass flow textures that are not preserved in other more conventional petrographic images.
