One of my work-from-home projects was getting to know the staff of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST, then called the National Bureau of Standards, or NBS) in 1918. Quite an interesting bunch. Among them was a chemist turned pandemic poet; one of the earliest known Asian American women to work at NIST; a Black man thwarted in a legal career who nevertheless participated in a civil rights case decided by a presidential committee; a pair of brothers from Puerto Rico whose accomplishments would stretch from World War I to the Cold War; and a laboratory assistant who became an impresario of gay-friendly nightlife in Washington, D.C.
The NIST archives has a collection of staff photographs from 1918. This was the first time all staff were photographed for identification purposes, due to security needs during World War I. These photos are historically important because they include not only well-known scientists but also rank-and-file staff members. And the photographs were taken during a time when the NIST workforce was diversifying to meet the demands of the war.
The staff members in these photos were identified by initials and last names only. My work-from-home project was to fill in their complete names to facilitate further historical research. This was not as straightforward as it sounds. No known listing of their full names existed. Identifying these individuals took a great deal of research using census records, old city directories and newspaper stories, and other historical documents. I was using the tools and techniques of a genealogist to learn more about our staff predecessors.
This research turned up their full names as well as information about their lives. And like any good genealogy, many of the details were quite unexpected. Let me introduce you to some of these fascinating NIST employees from 1918.
The pandemic poet
Campbell E. Waters and Lois Crump
1918 might seem like ancient history to some, but in one way that year is quite relatable to today. Before COVID-19, the last major pandemic to affect the United States was the 1918 influenza pandemic, which killed millions of people worldwide, and more than 500,000 in the United States. Masks, sanitization and social distancing became the norm for the 1918 NIST staff, just like it is now for us. These everyday efforts to fight a deadly disease inspired NIST chemist Campbell E. Waters to pen a poem he titled "Rules for Influenza." This poem would likely have been lost if it weren't for office clerk Lois Crump, who included it in a letter to her fiancé serving as a soldier overseas. Their correspondence was later published as a book: The Great War at Home and Abroad: The World War I Diaries and Letters of W. Stull Holt.
Here is a lightly edited version of the poem for this exhibit:
Rules for Influenza
Oh, shun the common drinking cup,
void the kiss and hug,
For in them all there lurks that [scourge],
The influenza bug.
Cough not, nor sneeze when in a crowd;
'Tis neither kind nor neat,
Because it scatters germs around.
So try to be discreet.
Lick not the thumb in turning o'er,
The papers in your file,
And wear your health mask, though you look
Like time. Forget it. Smile.
Remember doorknobs harbor germs,
So wash before you eat.
Avoid the flying clouds of dust
While walking on the street.
Most anything you do — or don't —
Is apt to cause disease,
So don't do anything you do
Without precautions, please.
Elizabeth Yung-Kwai
One of the earliest known Asian American women to work at NIST, Elizabeth Yung-Kwai was the daughter of a Chinese American diplomatic family. The Wellesley College student worked in the Electricity Laboratory investigating self-luminous materials used by the military in aircraft instruments, compasses, watches and gunsights. She co-authored a paper, "Studies of Radium Luminous Materials," that was presented at the April 1919 meeting of the American Physical Society. After raising a family during the 1920s and 1930s, she would return to government service during World War II as a member of the Women's Army Corps.
Frank Davenport Calmore
Frank Davenport Calmore was a clerk in the NIST instrument shops while attending the Howard University School of Law. Although he completed his law degree, he would spend the next several decades working as a train steward in Texas. Seemingly prevented from starting a legal career, he nevertheless used his legal training on several occasions to advocate for fair employment for Black Americans in the railroad industry.
Most notably he was a plaintiff in a 1943 discrimination case brought before President Franklin Roosevelt's Committee on Fair Employment Practice. During World War II, President Roosevelt issued an executive order banning discriminatory employment practices by federal agencies, unions and companies involved in war-related work. The Committee on Fair Employment Practice was set up to enforce the provisions of the order. Calmore successfully testified before this committee against a railroad company that had replaced its Black dining car stewards with less experienced white employees. The committee ordered the railroad to stop its discriminatory practices.
In the 1950s Calmore became chairman of the San Antonio, Texas, chapter of the NAACP's legal-redress committee, which fought to integrate city schools, swimming pools and parks.
Los hermanos Cordero
Fidel and Manrique Cordero.
Brothers Fidel and Manrique Cordero moved as teenagers from their hometown of Maricao, Puerto Rico, to Buffalo, New York, where Fidel became a watchmaker and Manrique worked for the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car Co. After Fidel joined the Army in 1917 and was assigned to NIST to conduct aeronautical research, Manrique soon followed him to Washington and was employed at NIST as an instrument maker.
When the war ended, Manrique transferred to the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey, but Fidel remained at NIST for the next 40 years, designing measurement instruments for aircraft, including altimeters, anemometers, cabin pressure indicators, a sky compass, a stick-force indicator, oxygen flow regulators, and vibration and yaw meters. He also designed an aneroid for radiosondes, a micromanometer for use on mass spectrometers, and a water- and shock-proof compass for the Navy. At the end of his career, he was part of a team honored with the 1959 Department of Commerce Exceptional Service Award for its contributions to the development of infrasonic microphones to detect atomic bomb tests during the Cold War.
The Krazy Kat Klub
Cleon F. Throckmorton
Cleon F. Throckmorton worked as a laboratory assistant for electrical research while studying at George Washington University. In 1919 he opened the Krazy Kat Klub in Washington, D.C., a speakeasy that openly welcomed a gay clientele. The club took its name from a popular comic-strip character of the period, who was notably androgynous. Throckmorton's club became a nightlife hot spot for the city, and a popular gathering place for D.C.'s gay community, before closing in the late 1920s.
Throckmorton relocated to New York and became a prominent set designer for the theater, including for playwright Eugene O'Neill, who won the Nobel Prize in literature in 1936. Throckmorton's work was in such demand in the 1920s and 1930s that, according to theater historian Richard Somerset-Ward, his name appeared on more Broadway playbills than anyone except the New York City fire commissioner (who was listed as an official endorsement of theaters' fire safety). By the 1950s Throckmorton was creating sets for early television productions. He was inducted posthumously into the Theater Hall of Fame in 2002.

Are you a genealogy buff who likes a challenge? We have not been able to identify the full names of every individual in the 1918 staff photos and could use your help. Finding their unabbreviated first names enables further historical research about them, and makes their photos more easily findable by other historians and genealogists. You can review the entire 1918 staff collection on the NIST Digital Archives to see which names we still need. There we have also included two NIST staff directories from 1918 that list employees' home addresses for that year (but unfortunately not their full names). The addresses are another piece of information helpful in verifying their identities. Send your findings and evidence to museum [at] nist.gov.

BQM-1BR - Brazilian Multi-Purpose UAV that is used as a target in a test of new types of weapons, as well as the drone used for testing new control systems of unmanned aircraft.
The BQM-1BR unmanned aerial vehicle is an exclusively military development created with the direct leadership of the Brazilian Armed Forces. The main reason for the creation of this project was the urgent need to use a large number of devices capable of moving in space with remote control, and if initially the BQM-1BR UAV was positioned exclusively as a drone-target, then later, by some improvement of the design of the unmanned aircraft, Here modern control systems, which provided the possibility of testing this drone while developing other drones.
BQM-1BR UAV equipped with a jet engine provides the ability to overclock up to speed in 530 km \ h., At the same time, the maximum range of the drone flight 450 kilometers, which is perfectly suited for testing advanced anti-aircraft systems and weapons.
The BQM-1BR unmanned aerial vehicle has an excellent aerodynamic shape, which actually provides the drone with the ability to accelerate to high speed, while the UAV fuselage length is 3,89 m., And the wingspan is 3,38 m. missile systems.
Drone can be moved at an altitude of up to 6,5 kilometers, however, due to lack of opportunities surveillance camera installation, as well as the impossibility of its use because of the extremely high speed of flight, for such purposes UAV model BQM-1BR not apply.

Recommendations Best second chance novel in your opinion?
Discussion in 'I'm Looking For...' started by Expatamoeba, Feb 10, 2019.
So what's the best second chance novel you've read so far? Personally I like second coming of avarice and Human Emperor. The character development is executed well and the MC tried his best to re do his past mistakes. However, in other second chance novel I've read, most of the MC doesnt reflect on his past mistake. They just collect harem or face slapping people while still keep on doing stupid things.
Thorel and GDLiZy like this.
If Rebirth of The Heavenly Demon had continued its translation, that might be one for me.
The Reincarnation Of The Strongest Sword God?
It's actually a manhua, my favorite is 'The Last Human'.
The MC is pretty cool and so far doesn't seem to be doing any mistakes. And he's not being super ambitious after being given a second chance. He just wishes to survive with his friends and lover this time, and is not worried about the fate of the world so there's little chance for things to go wrong for him this time.
Khatulistiwa and TianKrea like this.
Thorel and Khatulistiwa like this.
Does Human Emperor count as 2nd chance? More like 3rd chance. I didn't see the point in having the MC start in our world, then transmigrate to the magical Tang dynasty and then start over again. Since he was an original resident of our world, his blind faith and loyalty seemed a bit extreme and unrealistic.
It's an awesome stories because lot of inventions in it. And the drama is minimal and nice fluffy moments.
If you can read fanfiction then I have a bunch of recommendations, second chances/reincarnate as your past self novels are very common in that story medium, and I have many examples, although mainly in the Harry Potter fanfictions. You can give some more qualifications too, I know so many I can probably find just about any type of story.


Set at a high-tech security firm named Contra Security They take extreme — and often questionable — measures to sell their protection services. Contra Security, corporate America's answer to The A-Team, gives clients a sense of security by first ripping it away. Hence the title, Breaking In.
hehe, ok, it´s FOX. Family Guy is really the best example..
BUT, if they really think about to do more "Breaking in" Season(s) in the future, they should hire a person who is really into Computers and linux and stuff!
I hope it´s clear what i want to say: They should change these things and get more serious.
It would be nice to see another Fox show succeed after two cancellations. I guess Fox cancels so many quality shows that it is no surprise that they have the only previous example of this, Family Guy. It seems most Fox shows are either cancelled too soon or are listed as barely survived, but Fox was nice enough to stick with them.
Although they are reporting that if it does get picked up, it likely won't be at upfronts.

100 days of Trump — and resistance from grassroots women's groups
The multiplicity of harms can feel overwhelming. But with thoughtful coordination we can support each other to resist this administration's agenda and its global impacts.

There's been a pattern to the whirlwind first 100 days of the Trump presidency. In the face of multiple wars and famine threats, Trump responds on two fronts. First, he exacerbates problems, and then he eviscerates potential solutions.
It's like setting a house on fire, while draining the water from the fire truck. And for those trapped in the blaze, local grassroots women's groups are often the only first responders they can count on.
Take US military policy. Trump has ratcheted up airstrikes while seeking to loosen restrictions meant to limit civilian deaths. In March alone, US-led airstrikes on Iraq and Syria killed over 1,782 civilians. Trump expanded "areas of active hostilities" in Yemen and Somalia, placing thousands more people in the cross-hairs of US drone operators. And in Afghanistan, he launched the "mother of all bombs," a phrase that insults mothers everywhere, perhaps none more than those struggling to keep their children safe from US airstrikes.
Equally insulting is Trump's purported concern for the "beautiful little babies" killed in the 4 April chemical attack in Idlib, Syria. Rather than channel moral outrage at the attack to reinvigorate peace talks, as many Syrian women's groups have demanded, Trump opted for an illegal missile strike. The move fuels more war, while doing nothing to prevent future attacks on civilians.
In fact, any humanitarian rationale for war is suspect coming from Trump. He was remorseless about ordering a January attack in Yemen that killed 10 children. No one in Trump's administration is calling for justice for the nearly 300 civilians, including children, killed in a single US airstrike in Mosul, Iraq; or for the deaths of over 30 civilians, killed when the US bombed a school in Syria.
...any humanitarian rationale for war is suspect coming from Trump.
Meanwhile, the administration actively blocks support to people facing attack. It has banned refugee families from the countries it is bombing. It also proposes draconian cuts of more than one-third to foreign aid programs that help communities survive and recover from war.
In many of these communities, it's grassroots women's groups that are stepping into the breach to provide life-saving assistance. For example, when thousands of families fled Mosul from ISIS violence and US airstrikes, they found shelter with the Organization of Women's Freedom in Iraq, which set up safe houses and distributed humanitarian aid.
Likewise, in Syria and its neighboring countries hosting refugees, local women's groups are at the forefront of providing aid, including reproductive healthcare for women.
Such critical work has globally been dealt a severe blow by Trump's global gag rule, which strips US funding from healthcare facilities in poor countries that so much as mention abortion rights. This, in combination with Trump's defunding of the UNFPA, a major reproductive health and family planning agency, will cause needless death and suffering among the world's poorest women.

This is not the only burning crisis that women first responders are mobilising to address. The uptick in US violence comes as international aid agencies warn that famine is about to overtake places like Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and Nigeria, endangering the lives of over 20 million people.
Trump's response to the crisis? He hopes to slash vital humanitarian programs that would save lives, for example by cutting US contributions to the UN by 50%. Trump's proposed budget would also exacerbate causes of famine such as climate change and war. It would gut the Environmental Protection Agency, charged with implementing US climate policy, and shift $54 billion from social spending, including programs to combat violence against women, to the US military.
So where war and climate change may drive millions to the brink of survival, Trump stands ready to push them over the edge. In Yemen, he plans to further enlarge a civil war into a proxy war for regional powers, by fueling Saudi Arabia with weapons and military support. The war compounds the destruction of a protracted drought, clearly driven by climate change, which Trump has dismissed as a hoax. The consequences for Yemeni civilians are catastrophic, with two-thirds of their population in need of humanitarian aid and with the threat of mass starvation looming.
The multiplicity of harms can feel overwhelming.
In Somalia, as people migrate to find food amidst worsening famine and drought, there is greater risk that they will be mistaken for fighters or killed as a result of loosened restrictions on civilian casualties. Meanwhile, in Kenya where many Somalis have sought refuge, women first-responders are sourcing food aid from local women farmers, in a win-win that saves lives while sustaining local economies.
It is as if the Trump administration is hoping that we won't be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.
That we won't grasp the connections between fundamentally dangerous policies and their real-life impacts. That we won't register the gulf between US rhetoric and reality. That we won't be able to resist militarism, environmental destruction and humanitarian disaster, and ramp up support for humanitarian relief – like that spearheaded by women in places rocked by disaster and conflict.
But we can do all of this. We can support the work of grassroots women's organizations providing necessary humanitarian aid while calling for policies that uphold peace and justice.
We can call out false attempts to wrap destructive actions in humanitarian ideals, and we can call for support and welcome to refugees and migrants.
We can condemn war crimes and rights violations by all states, we can condemn the US's own needless killing of civilians, and we can call for a halt to US military escalation.
The multiplicity of harms can feel overwhelming. That's because no single person can take it all on. What we need instead is thoughtful coordination among those resisting Trump's agenda – in the next 100 days and beyond – to support each other's efforts to douse the fires he spreads and to build back from the ashes together.

Understanding the rise of Trump
women and power


Recently a couple was surprised to find out that a listing they were interested in had sold before they even had a chance to see it. This was particularly disconcerting because all the other listings they had considered were marketed for a week or more before offers were accepted. Then, in most cases, there were several other buyers vying to buy the property. But, the one that got away sold with only one offer, leaving the buyers wondering if they had missed out on an excellent opportunity.
It turns out that the listing in question wasn't the right house for these buyers. But, the quick sale does raise a question. In a hot seller's market, as are occurring in many areas of the country, especially in California, why would a seller accept an offer quickly without the benefit of full market exposure?
Some sellers feel under pressure to sell quickly. For instance, sellers who buy before they sell may feel more comfortable with a fast sale at a good price than they would waiting for weeks wondering if they'll receive a better offer. That extra time could cost the sellers a lot if they are paying for two mortgages plus interim financing.
Sellers with small children, and some elderly homeowners, find the marketing experience particularly disruptive. A fast sale can be worth it to these sellers, even though it may mean leaving money on the table.
A quick sale can occur if a buyer makes a pre-emptive offer that the seller accepts. A pre-emptive offer is an offer that's made before the seller's designated date to hear offers, or before the property is exposed to the market. In this situation, the buyer writes an offer early and insists that it be presented to the sellers. The sellers don't have to respond. But state law may require that any and all offers be presented to the seller.
There are drawbacks to both buyers and sellers with pre-emptive offers. If a seller is intent on waiting for market exposure before entertaining any offers, a pre-emptive offer will usually need to be very strong in order to entice the seller into changing his game plan. In other words, it needs to be an offer he can't refuse. With a pre-emptive bid, the buyer will never know if he paid too much. Likewise, if the seller accepts an offer before receiving market exposure, he will never know if he could have sold for even more.
HOUSE HUNTING TIP: To ensure that you don't miss out on a listing, make sure that your agent tells you about any new listing that might work for you. Some real estate agents subscribe to listing alert services that will notify you directly when a new listing that meets your specifications comes on the market. Find out as soon as possible how the seller is planning to deal with offers. The seller could be ready to hear offers as soon as the property is listed, so you might have to move quickly.
In any event, don't wait for a public open house to see the property if your agent thinks it's a good fit. If after previewing the property, you want to make an offer, make sure the listing agents knows this. This way you insure you will be informed if another buyer makes a pre-emptive bid. It would be in the seller's best interest to consider both offers. But there's no chance of this happening, if the sellers don't know that you want to buy the property.
THE CLOSING: Real estate is a fast business that waits for no one. And sellers can accept offers whenever they want.

The Most Fun I Never Want To Have Again
R. D. Koncerak
In the early 2000's, America was in the midst of an economic boom. Nowhere was the prosperity more evident than across metro Atlanta and Georgia's thriving community banking industry. Georgia saw more new bank start-ups than almost any other US state between 1997 and 2007…and then suffered more bank failures than most states combined between 2008 and 2012. What happened? This book tells that story. At year-end 2012, the largest 1% of US banks controlled eighty six percent of American domestic deposits …which means that 99% of America's 7,083 financial institutions held only fourteen percent of domestic deposits. Despite their challenges, community-based financial institutions remain America's predominant banking model. This is a story about the "other" 99 percent of American banking.Join author R.D. Koncerak on an eye-opening, insider's look at Georgia's community banking industry. From the forces that fueled the boom through 2007 to the crises that sent world markets reeling in 2008, this book is part financial documentary, part autobiography, and entirely entertaining. Koncerak combines an engaging writing style with a range of industry sources to deliver a firsthand account of success and failure in the business of banking. Chapters include organizing and launching a bank as a new business venture, managing in times of crisis and the FDIC closure process for a financial institution in distress. The book also offers candid leadership and career advice based on the author's adventures in the field. This exposé includes trade articles and SEC extracts that provide insight into the greatest financial disaster to hit the United States since the Great Depression.Finally, "TMF" includes two guest chapters: an insightful industry overview from accomplished financial author John Mauldin, and advice on the future of community banking from strategist Karl Nelson.
Anyhow: https://t.co/J6Rpb3LcvF Two thumbs up. Swashbuckling startup story with a heavy helping of career advice (of lets say limited utility to the modal person following me); quite a bit of behind-the-scenes color which was fascinating to me. The FDIC orientation a hoot.

Lying for Money
Dan Davies
Financial crime seems horribly complicated but there are only so many ways you can con someone out of what's theirs. In fact, there are four. A veteran regulatory economist and market analyst, Dan Davies has years of experience picking the bones out of some of the most famous frauds of the modern age. Now he reveals the big picture that emerges from their labyrinths of deceit.Along the way you'll find out how to fake a gold mine with a wedding ring, a file and a shotgun. You'll see how close Charles Ponzi, the king of pyramid schemes, came to acquiring his own private navy. You'll learn how fraud has shaped the entire development of the modern world economy. And you'll discover whether you have what it takes to be a white-collar criminal mastermind, if that's what you want. (Which you don't. You really, really don't.)
The Man Who Solved The Market is probably my favorite book this year, and it is *wild* that it recounts a single lifetime.

Flash Boys: Not So Fast
Peter Kovac
In Flash Boys, Michael Lewis alleged that the entire U.S. stock market is rigged. This is an extraordinarily serious accusation. If it is true that a conspiracy of stock exchanges, banks, regulators and high-frequency traders has rigged the market, this has profound implications for every aspect of our financial system. It's rather surprising, then, that this book alleging a vast high-frequency trading conspiracy included no high-frequency traders. Flash Boys lacks a single insider's account, and it shows. Electronic trading is extremely complicated, and if you neglect to talk to any electronic traders, you're probably going to get it wrong. Flash Boys: Not So Fast, written by a former high-frequency trading executive and regulatory compliance expert, provides the missing insider's perspective on today's stock market and answers the question of whether or not Michael Lewis is right. Not So Fast reviews the alleged scams described by Lewis and applies the same rigorous analysis that real trading strategies are subjected to, methodically walking through them step by step and explaining what is actually possible in today's markets and what is not. Extensively researched and documented, Not So Fast provides a clear, accurate picture of how today's markets operate, including what works, what doesn't work, and what changes need to be made.

The Trump administration unveiled its $4.1 trillion budget Tuesday. The plan includes massive cuts to social programs, while calling for historic increases in military spending. The budget proposes slashing $800 billion from Medicaid, nearly $200 billion from nutritional assistance programs, such as food stamps and Meals on Wheels, and more than $72 billion from disability benefits. The plan would also completely eliminate some student loan programs. It would ban undocumented immigrants from receiving support through some programs for families with children, including the child care tax credit. The budget also calls for an historic 10 percent increase in military spending and another $2.6 billion to further militarize the U.S.-Mexico border, including $1.6 billion to build Trump's border wall. For more, we speak with Nobel Prize-winning economist Joseph Stiglitz.

The evening promises to be a culturally exuberating extravaganza for people of all age group. Enjoy a tête-à-tête with Frederick Lavoie, a Quebec based Canadian non-fiction writer and journalist who will elaborate Amdavadis on the topic of 'Resisting Fake News'.
Ahoy Ahmedabad! National award laureate visual artist Vipul Prajapati is all set to come up with his latest solo show at the city's most loved culture destination, 079 Stories. The show is a compilation of drawing and paintings on various themes that are mainly showcasing his thoughts and recent experiences in the most aesthetically sound manner.
The Unread Open Mic event is all set to unfold with the opening of a poetry anthology that comprises works of 100 writers hailing from approximately 30 different cities. The creative fiesta will be celebrated at Project Otenga and host stand-up comedy performances, musical renditions, literature recitals etc.
Artist Manish Chavda will bring his exuberant oils in the show titled 'Song of Birds' at the Hutheesing Centre. Chavda is known for his lavish depiction of natural elements, in his work he provides a unique vantage point to view the intricacy and beauty of nature.
The week is full of colours and merriment to mark the vivid festival of colours, Holi. And 203rd Ahmedabad Art Weekly is celebrating the occasion with utmost enthusiasm and encouraging people to relish it with utmost fervour. The festival is said to mark the Spring Equinox and is said to be an official initiation of Spring season and end of the winters. On this day people celebrate the victory of good over evil by distributing sweets and applying colours on each other and Holi is considered to be amongst the most important festival in the Hindu religion. So through this, we wish each and every a happy and safe Holi and request each one to save as much water as possible.


Boxing Gloves now available in black - great not just for the girls like Infinity and Unity who regularly hit the boxing gym - but also for all our Smart Doll girls n boys. Not so great for picking your nose - unless you have huge nostrils. Or should I say "Snot so great" ?
The gloves are made of soft vinyl and you have to remove the hands before attaching them to the arms. How about paring up with red in some Rocky Balboa shenanigans?
The gloves come with a bit of string that you attach yourself so that you can hang them from the neck. The red boxing gloves didn't come with the string at launch but if you got them and want the string then leave a message in the notes.

Q: Orthonormal frame on $\mathbb{S}^3$ orthogonal to foliations Does there exist a smooth orthonormal frame $X_1,X_2,X_3$ on $\mathbb{S}^3$ such that the distribution spanned by $X_i$ and $X_j$ is integrable for all $1\leq i,j\leq 3$?

A: I assume that you are asking about the global problem of existence on the round $3$-sphere, as the local existence of such frame fields is well-known and goes by the name 'triply orthogonal systems' in the classical literature.
Because the problem is conformally invariant, the local problem is the same as finding such orthonormal frame fields in $\mathbb{R}^3$.  There, the existence and uniqueness theorem can be stated as follows:
If $S\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ is an embedded smooth surface and $X_1,X_2,X_3$ are a smooth orthonormal frame field along $S$ with the property that each of the $X_i$ is nowhere tangent to $S$ along $S$, then there is an open neighborhood $U$ of $S$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ on which the $X_i$ extend uniquely to $U$ as an orthonormal frame field such that the 2-plane fields $D_{ij}$ spanned by $X_i$ and $X_j$ for $i\not=j$ are integrable in $U$.
In the real-analytic category, this result was known to Darboux, but, in the smooth category, the first place I know of a proof is in a 1984 paper by Dennis DeTurck and Deane Yang, Existence of elastic deformations with prescribed principal strains and triply orthogonal systems, Duke Math. J. $\mathbf{51}$, 243–260.
Globally on $S^3$, as far as I'm aware, there is no known solution.  It is interesting to note that by a 1964 result of Novikov, any codimension $1$ foliation of the $3$-sphere has a compact leaf that is a torus.  This can be used to show that there is no real-analytic codimension $1$ foliation of the $3$-sphere.  (See H. Blaine Lawson, Jr. The Qualitative Theory of Foliations, CBMS Regional Conference Series in Mathematics, Volume 27 (1977), AMS/CBMS.)
Thus, while there might be a global smooth solution on the $3$-sphere, there cannot be a global real-analytic one.

Watch This High-Energy La La Land Reenactment Race Through the Whole Movie
By Raisa Bruner
January 26, 2017 5:20 PM EST
Popular YouTube duo Superfruit (also known as two of the members of the a cappella sensation Pentatonix) released an energetic musical-medley-slash-dramatic-reenactment of Oscar favorite La La Land on their channel earlier this week, and it somehow manages to speed through the entire film in five and a half minutes of continuous song and dance.
Featuring fellow Pentatonix vocalist Kirstin Maldonado, the trio run through the film's major plot points and songs all within the low-fi confines of a casual makeshift studio space. From the pensive "City of Stars" (complete with Ryan-Gosling-style hat tricks) to a dizzying version of "Someone In the Crowd," they bring a whole new spin to the modern movie musical, which just garnered a record-tying 14 Oscar nominations. And their fans love it: the video has racked up over half a million views in the two days that it's been live.
Watch them bring La La Land to life in a new way, above.
