With a female protagonist coming to terms with claiming and wielding her power, this fantasy adventure is rooted in timeless, universal themes. There are moments Magical Eyes: Dawn of the Sand resembles other coming of age tales infused with magic and mayhem so closely that it lacks freshness (and antagonist Drago will forever be Draco Malfoy in my imagination) . However, the story blossoms each of the many times descriptive writing juxtaposes Princess Martina's inner and outer worlds, deftly showing how each one tests the princess' courage and belief in herself. This book is ideal for multi-generational sharing, a great choice for reading together at bedtime (aloud, with character voices!) or over a rainy weekend. Be sure not to miss the colorful illustrations at the end of the book.
Today we are interviewing the fictional Ed Earl Burch, anti-hero extraordinaire. Burch is the driving force behind Jim Nesbitt's crime series, LAST SECOND CHANCE and THE RIGHT WRONG NUMBER – two Top Picks here at Underground Book Reviews!

El cráter de la Tierra de Wilkes es una gigantesca estructura geológica de probable origen meteorítico que recibe su nombre por la región en la que se ubica, aproximadamente a 70° S de latitud y 120° E de longitud —entre la cordillera Gamburtsev y las Montañas Transantárticas—, bajo el indlandsis antártico. Descubierto en 2006 por los satélites GRACE de la NASA, es uno de los mayores cráteres de impacto de la Tierra, con una extensión de casi 500 km de diámetro. En la actualidad, la estructura permanece oculta bajo una capa de hielo de más de un kilómetro de espesor.

Originalmente, los científicos no pudieron datar con exactitud el origen de la formación por las difíciles condiciones de la zona, abriendo un amplio margen de entre 500 y 100 millones de años. Sin embargo, hallazgos posteriores delimitaron su antigüedad en aproximadamente 250 millones de años, coincidiendo con la extinción masiva del Pérmico-Triásico o «Gran Mortandad», la mayor extinción en la historia de la Tierra, que acabó con el 70 % de las especies terrestres y el 90 % de las marinas. De hecho, los expertos sugieren que el impacto que dio origen a este cráter puede estar directamente relacionado con la aparición de los traps siberianos, considerados como los principales causantes de la extinción.

Descubrimiento

El hallazgo fue confirmado en 2006 por un equipo dirigido por Ralph von Frese y Laramie Potts, basándose en las mediciones de los radares de gravedad y subsuelo de los satélites GRACE de la NASA, dos naves que sobrevuelan la Tierra a 500 km de altura en búsqueda de variaciones en el campo gravitatorio. Las mediciones gravimétricas de los satélites detectaron un gigantesco mascón ubicado en la Tierra de Wilkes —Antártida—, con un tamaño dos veces mayor que el del cráter de Chicxulub y que, tras ser comparado con el cráter de Vredefort —provincia del Estado Libre, Sudáfrica— y como resultado del descubrimiento de fragmentos de meteoritos de condrita en estratos del Pérmico-Triásico de la Antártida y Australia, fue datado en unos 250 millones de años.

Los mascones —término derivado de la unión de las palabras inglesas «mass concentrations»— son regiones con densidad de masa notoriamente superior al promedio de la corteza, formadas por el impacto de grandes meteoritos o por grandes y repentinas efusiones de lava —que a su vez suelen deberse a eventos de este tipo—. El de la Tierra de Wilkes se extiende a lo largo de 350 por 500 km, en una forma alargada probablemente ocasionada por la proximidad con el límite entre las placas Antártica e Indoaustraliana. Algunos investigadores sugieren que el impacto pudo haber desencadenado la ruptura del supercontinente de Gondwana creando esta falla tectónica, que empujó a Australia hacia el norte.

Impacto

Características
De confirmarse los indicios que relacionan el cráter de la Tierra de Wilkes con un impacto astronómico, un asteroide capaz de generar un mascón de esas dimensiones debería medir aproximadamente 48 km de diámetro, es decir, de cuatro a cinco veces mayor que el responsable del cráter de Chicxulub, asociado a la extinción de los dinosaurios.

Considerando las probables características del terreno en aquella época en el lugar de impacto y el perfil del asteroide en cuestión, la colisión habría producido unos 8000 millones de megatones —80 veces más que el evento de Chicxulub—. A 1000 km del impacto, la bola de fuego aparecería en el cielo con un brillo 130 veces superior al Sol, se registrarían vientos  de 5000 km/h con presiones de hasta 32,6 bares, y terremotos por encima de los 11 grados en la escala de Richter. Incluso a 10 000 km del impacto, los resultados serían devastadores, especialmente a largo plazo.

Posibles consecuencias para la vida
Si se descarta la hipótesis de los impactos múltiples como causante de la extinción del Cretácico-Terciario, un solo asteroide de 10 km de diámetro bastó para acabar con el 80 % de los seres vivos de la Tierra, incluyendo a todas las especies de dinosaurios no avianos. Cabe esperar que la colisión de un asteroide 4 o 5 veces mayor multiplique los efectos devastadores que tuvo para la vida el evento del límite K/T hace 65 millones de años. Es posible que el bólido que ocasionó el cráter de la Tierra de Wilkes hubiera bastado, por sí solo, para cercenar una amplia mayoría de los clados animales de la Tierra.

Más allá de las consecuencias directas del impacto de un gran asteroide, conviene considerar que este tipo de eventos conllevan importantes efectos secundarios. Entre ellos, destacan el notorio descenso de las temperaturas en todo el globo durante años por el polvo en suspensión en la atmósfera —que bloquearía el paso de buena parte de los rayos del Sol, como un invierno nuclear de gran envergadura—, la consecuente pérdida de vegetación —ya de por sí afectada por la quema inicial derivada del impacto—, la desaparición de eslabones completos en la cadena alimenticia, etc. Todo ello, unido al efecto de la posterior erupción en Siberia, habría resultado en un escenario cercano a la extinción total como indican los registros. Esta teoría, con cierto seguimiento entre la comunidad científica, se conoce como «Modelo del Asesinato en el Orient Express».

Extinción del Pérmico-Triásico

Alcance y repercusiones
La extinción masiva del Pérmico-Triásico fue la mayor de los cinco eventos de este tipo que han ocurrido en la Tierra desde la aparición de la vida pluricelular. Capaz de acabar con un 96 % de los seres vivos en un plazo de  —un período extremadamente corto en escalas de tiempo geológico—, los posibles causantes del proceso —liberación de hidratos de metano, vulcanismo, impacto astronómico, etc.— tuvieron que desarrollarse a una escala sin precedentes y/o en conjunción para alcanzar un nivel de devastación semejante.

La antigüedad del suceso, estimada en unos 252 millones de años, ha borrado prácticamente la totalidad de los vestigios que pudiesen indicar fiablemente las verdaderas razones de la catástrofe. Sin embargo, los expertos coinciden en que la temperatura de la Tierra se incrementó sustancialmente en este corto período —en unos 10 °C, aunque los indicios sugieren que el aumento en la temperatura marina fue incluso mayor—, disminuyeron los niveles de oxígeno de los océanos y subieron las concentraciones de CO2 en todo el globo. La mayoría de las explicaciones propuestas supondrían unos efectos similares.

La extinción del Pérmico-Triásico sigue el patrón cíclico descubierto hace unos años, según el cual la aparición de grandes provincias ígneas y los mayores eventos de colisión se repiten cada 27, 32, 62 y 175 millones de años. Aunque las razones que explican el ciclo varían en función del autor, la mayoría coincide en que debe guardar relación con la órbita solar alrededor del plano galáctico.

Relación con los traps siberianos

Los traps siberianos forman una gran provincia ígnea en Siberia, Rusia. Desde hace años, su aparición se ha relacionado con la extinción del Pérmico-Triásico por su envergadura, que lo convierte en uno de los mayores eventos volcánicos en la historia de la Tierra. Si se confirma el impacto en la Tierra de Wilkes, es posible que su magnitud provocase la apertura de los traps siberianos por réplicas internas, poco tiempo después.

The SWAT Kats' world faces its own "War of the Worlds". Many deaths. (Oneshot – Complete)
Title: INVASION
Author: ulyferal
Rating: T
Warnings: Profanity and violence.
Disclaimer: "SWAT Kats: The Radical Squadron," its characters and concepts are copyright to Hanna-Barbera Cartoons, Inc and are used without permission.
A/N: Just a weird plot bunny I thought of this morning. I'm sure as you read it, it will sound like many of the invasion stories out there like War of the Worlds and Avatar. That's because they influenced it and made it possible. I readily admit, I don't like killing people off or unhappy endings, though quite a few did die in this. Hope you enjoy it… it's very short!
"Get your sorry butt up here!" a gruff voice commanded without heat to the male climbing up to him.
"Shut up, I'm getting there as fast as I can!" an even gruffer voice snarked back.
Reaching the large male, a broad bodied male in ripped clothing came close then stared over the destroyed wall tensely. Nothing moved… at least not at the moment.
"Where are they?" he grumbled more to himself than his companion.
"Waiting for us to make a mistake," the other male grunted, fingering his antique machine gun.
None of them were armed with modern weapons any longer. They scavenged what they could, kept moving, and hoped they'd live to see another morning.
A slim built male with clothing in just as bad a shape climbed up beside them but didn't try to look over the wall.
"Her bleeding is picking up, and nothing I've done has managed to slow it down. We need to find a safe haven soon," he whispered tensely to the pair.
The leader grimaced, a glint of grief and worry flashing in his eyes for a moment before the hard look he'd worn for too long returned.
"Do what you can. They're not showing themselves, but we know they are out there… waiting."
"Damn them to hell!" the slim male hissed, releasing some of his helpless frustration in cursing.
The broad bodied male just grunted in agreement. Their world had been turned into an apocalyptic nightmare over the last six months. Nothing they had done had been able to keep the creatures from taking over. What the aliens wanted no one knew for certain, but what they did know was the hostile visitors didn't care about the inhabitants and had systematically begun slaughtering them.
The only thing of their world left were the small pockets of resistance that wouldn't roll over and die. They were but a tiny handful of a population that used to total eight million but now were no more than a few hundred thousand, and those survivors of the first attack continued to cling to living by hiding deep underground or like this group, fight, run, hide and fight some more.
Of their original number of twenty, only ten remained, and four of those were seriously injured. They were exhausted, starved, and disheartened but just couldn't give up no matter how bad it got. Each harbored the thought that they would never give up until they were killed… anything else meant simply giving up, and that was something they would never do.
Suddenly, an eerie howl filled the night air. The group tensed and held up their weapons.
"Prepare to move!" the leader shouted to the lean male but that one had already melted away, scurrying to get the others on their feet.
Nightmarish things came screaming toward the waiting pair as they opened fire. The leader methodically swept his machine gun at mid level, effectively cutting the things in half… the only sure way to kill them. Next to him the broad male swept deadly fire above them to take out the flyers. The sound of other guns added to theirs from other warriors positioned around them guarding the wounded and non-coms.
A dead enemy flyer landed in their midst, but no more charged them. The broad male gave the dead thing a brief, furious kick then headed down after the leader, who was already making for their makeshift hideaway in a blown out basement.
The ragtag group of non-coms were already moving toward the warriors, the injured being carried by the strongest members they had. Faces stared grimly at their defenders, waiting for instructions.
Without a word, the leader turned about and headed out for a new location, everyone close on his heels.
By the time they found a new hiding place, they'd lost four more of their number, two of which had been the wounded.
Hunkered down in what had once been a restaurant, they did what they could for the injured… a lucky find turned up a first aid kit and a thorough search located canned food, which was wolfed down quickly by the starving survivors.
The warriors of the group had taken up watch some distance from each other but were still within hearing distance.
"From what little intel I've been able to acquire, we're still on target for the mother ship. If we're lucky, we should reach it by day after tomorrow," the thinker of the group spoke, just loud enough for the others to hear but not be overheard by the invaders.
"Good!" the leader grunted, his fingers busy cleaning his weapon and reloading. Grenades hung from a bandoleer he found on a dead soldier… sadly, there were only six of them left and his ammunition was seriously low.
"Do you still think you can take them out, buddy," the broad male asked his friend, staring out the broken window he hid near, watching for any stray movement.
His friend grimaced. "I only hope it will. I won't know until I get inside and see what I'm up against."
"Yeah, that should be easy with the ship crawling with our enemies all around… sure, piece a' cake," a female voice drifted to them from a far corner and the window she guarded.
"That's where this gas bomb will help us by eliminating a huge chunk of them."
The female voice snorted, "Yeah, that's if it penetrates far enough into that damn ship to do enough harm."
"Enough! I know we're all feeling depressed right now but try and keep a more positive attitude!" the leader grunted tiredly.
He well understood her negative feelings. He felt the same way, but they couldn't allow them to cause tempers to flare. Exhaustion made him lower his head a moment and close his eyes. He'd not had more than brief naps when his body cried for sleep. None of them were in any better shape. He didn't want to think how many more he would lose over the next forty-eight hours before they reached their goal.
Only getting to that goal would be the main thing on his mind next to taking out the enemy to save his world. Living beyond that… he didn't really care about anymore.
Just two days later, only four defenders were left when they reached their target. The ship was really no larger than one of their jumbo jets, only more octagon in shape. Their plan was to find a way to slip aboard, inject the gas in the ventilation system, then send a virus through their computer system to take out the rest of the fleet.
Yeah, the plan was based on their own world's tech, but they had nothing more to go on. This was their only opportunity to save any that were left on their world from extinction…if they weren't too late already… none cared to think about that.
"There's our ticket in," the broad male said suddenly, pointing to a skimmer just leaving the ship only ten feet from them.
Without thinking twice, the group leaped from their tenuous hiding place, the landing gear of the ship, and dropped down onto the skimmer. A quick, bloody fight ensued with them as the winner.
"Can you fly this thing?" the leader demanded, keeping low inside the skimmer, a small flying platform the aliens used to get around and could hold over twenty people and equipment aboard it.
"Yeah… piece of cake!" the broad male grunted distractedly as he figured out how to send the skimmer back into the ship.
"Prepare to jump as soon as it clears the doors," the leader warned, readying his legs to do just that.
The skimmer cleared the immense entryway and four shadows leaped off and scurried for a hiding place nearby. The now unmanned skimmer collided with more parked skimmers and enemy waiting to load and leave, causing instant chaos.
The infiltrators hurried after the genius in their midst as they searched for the 'brains' of the ship.
"Look out!" the female hissed, yanking the lean male back and into a tiny alcove as some soldiers raced by.
The female just nodded as they moved out again. Dozens of near misses, short bloody fights, and new injuries later, they reached what they hoped was heart of the ship. Killing all within the room with gas then waiting a nerve-wracking ten minutes, they finally entered the room.
The lean male sighed with relief. Though these creatures looked nothing like them, they did have enough similar characteristics to make them vulnerable to their world's weapons and, thankfully, similar tech, just a little more advanced than their own.
The genius hurried to the control panels and studied them quickly while his companions guarded him and also searched for a way to send more gas through the ship. The female gave a small cry of triumph and began pulling on a panel. The broad male joined her in removing it then dropping their gas grenades into the vents.
Meanwhile, the lean tom had discovered which computer handled the ship's comm and most of its main controls. He typed in his virus and prayed. Nothing seemed to happen for over five minutes, and he was beginning to get very nervous when suddenly everything around him began to act crazy.
With a manic grin, he whooped in triumph. "Let's get out of here!" he shouted.
The leader couldn't agree more as he donned his gas mask then slipped out the now malfunctioning door. The way back to the hangar was easier than the way in since nearly all the invaders were dead.
Soon, they were racing madly away from the aliens ship. Seeking shelter more than a mile away, they finally stopped and watched the ship from a distance. Smoke rose from it in many places, distant booms of things exploding could be heard. This went on for some minutes before a very large flash filled the sky, causing the four to duck and cover their eyes.
When they could see again, the ship was dark and silent, only the light of fires could be seen. But, fortunately, the thing hadn't exploded as that might have succeeded in destroyed the whole area.
Sighing in relief, everyone finally relaxed.
"We did it!" the broad male said, panting.
"Don't know that for sure yet, buddy. Have to wait and see if they are truly defeated," his friend cautioned, but felt happy at what they'd accomplished despite his words.
The leader said nothing as he stared at the dead ship. He wondered how long it would take to find out if their world was safe once more.
~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~
"How the fuck did this happen!" the Project Leader screamed to his subordinates cringing near him.
"We don't know, sir. The survey didn't say this race was even capable of much more than crude fighting methods, and we'd already decimated more than three quarters of the population. They shouldn't have been a threat…"
"Our ships are being affected by some kind of virus. We're lucky not to be falling toward the planet, you moron! Those cats obviously aren't as stupid as you thought, and now the mission is completely ruined!" the Project Leader, a swarthy, nasty man with black hair and goatee, yelled.
"I did warn you, Mason. All my research into this species spoke of resourcefulness and an innate intelligence, but you ignored that for the sake of profit," a lean, blond haired man snorted derisively at the idiot. "Actually, they are a lot like us… never give in… never say die."
Mason raised a fist as if to lash out at the blond, but the other man took a defensive stance and growled, "Go ahead and try it… You couldn't fight your way out of a paper bag, you tub of lard," the blond sneered.
The Project Leader reddened but turned away. "Call in everyone and evacuate before we're completely helpless," he ordered. He didn't know how he was going to explain this fiasco to his backers that he'd been defeated by a bunch of cats. He'd be lucky if they didn't kill him much less laugh at him. He'd never live this down.
It took more than a month to determine the enemy had truly left their world and they were safe. It took years to recover and breed a new population, but, by the end of the decade, there were over a hundred thousand, living and building their world anew.
For now, only one city existed, built on the ruins of the largest city their world boasted. Megakat City was no more, but, in its place, a city of peace and prosperity grew. Mindful of how big a target their city had been, the creators of this new city had built it hidden within a forest they grew to hide them.
That didn't mean they had gone backward in their way of life, oh no. Using the technology of their defeated enemies, they created a world that bristled with modern conveniences and comfort. It was just not as obvious as before. Robots were more in use, taking care of the ecology was the watch word of the day, and living more simply and less stressfully was their new existence. There was no longer a need for a military army, but they did keep a watch command. Their job was to watch the heavens, aid in natural disasters, and keep them all safe. A small police force was all they needed to keep the minor criminal element under control. This meant many of the jobs that the city originally boasted no longer existed.
For the heroes that had finally freed their world from the invaders, they found new ways to contribute to their newly altered world despite some serious war injuries. Commander Ulysses Feral had managed to keep fit despite the loss of his left paw and tail. Felina had only an ear tip and two fingers of her left paw blown off. Chance had lost the ability to pilot a jet when his left leg had been amputated and Jake was the luckiest, having only lost hearing in one ear and the end of his tail.
Feral and Felina were pushed into becoming part of the new system of government. Felina was made chief of the new Space Watch Command, and, with no government left because all of them had been killed, Feral was urged to take the role of leader during the reconstruction of their world. Eventually, a small congress with fewer members… a sort of mini democracy… was set up in place of the old Mayor and council. Feral was called a President with a female vice beneath him.
The SWAT Kats had found a niche as well. During the war, their secret identities fell by the wayside so everyone knew who they were. Chance was urged to join Felina as trainer command for the fledgling Space Command Troops. He was considered a harsh task master but fair. He laughed when his friend told him he was more like Feral than when the Commander was in charge of the old enforcers.
Jake found an outlet for his creative mind. He was made Director in charge of research and development, was responsible for inventing ways to keep their world safe from other space invaders, and created new forms of energy, weapons, aircraft, and vehicles that would make them feel like they could defend themselves better. Using the technology left behind by the now deceased Professor Hackle and various Pumadyne projects, he was able to make their world nearly invincible. No one was going to take them again, he swore it.
It was he that had invented the protection bubble that shielded their world using the technology left behind by the invaders. He also collaborated with other scientists to build a weapon capable of reaching out into space and destroying enemies before they could get close enough to harm them. But, just in case some visitors were friendly, he developed a new communications system using satellites they'd sent to circle their world and even one installed on their moon, to try and speak with the visitors before blasting them to pieces.
The four would get together to relax and try to ease the nightmares caused from their months of fighting that still haunted them even years later. They were good friends only because no one else could understand what they'd been through.
"Here's to the new world we've created!" Chance said, raising a glass of wine to salute another year of peace on the anniversary of their freedom.
"Aw, come on, Chance. We didn't create it, we just saved it so the survivors could create it," Jake chided him.
"We created the peace that allowed them to do," Chance insisted, grinning cheekily at his partner, his mate giving him a light punch to the shoulder for being ornery.
"If you insist," Jake sighed, smiling and shaking his head. His wife merely smiled gently and held his paw.
"I'm just glad to be alive to see it," Feral grunted, shifting his weight as his damaged tail ached from sitting.
"I second that… Peace!" Felina declared firmly, raising her own glass and downing it.
The others repeated that mantra and downed their own drinks at the same time.

A New Season of American Masters premieres Friday, September 4, 2015 at 9pm on WMHT TV.
In recounting Gibson's story, the filmmakers were meticulous in finding period imagery, including over 450 vintage photographs. Producer and director Rex Miller weaves this archival visual material and interviews with those who knew Gibson, such as former New York City Mayor David Dinkins, Wimbledon champions Dick Savitt and Billie Jean King (who also serves as one of the film's executive producers), Jeanne Moutoussamy-Ashe, widow of Arthur Ashe, and more.
Gibson was born in Silver, South Carolina on August 25, 1927. At the age of three, her father moved the family north migrating to Harlem in 1930. Gibson was a tomboy who grew up loving sports, but disliked school so much that she started skipping classes at the age of 12 and, by 18, had dropped out of high school. She played basketball, but "…paddle tennis started it all," says Gibson, in a clip from a 1984 interview.
She learned to play that sport on the streets, but it was bandleader Buddy Walker, who was also the neighborhood play street director, who introduced her to tennis and The Cosmopolitan Club, a private black tennis club.
At the club, she met Fred Johnson, the one-armed coach, who taught her how to play. Under the auspices of the American Tennis Association (ATA), an organization of African American players, she began to develop as a tennis player. It was during this time that she met boxer Sugar Ray Robinson, who would become a friend and mentor.
Though a talented tennis player, Gibson was a street kid who lacked the genteel manner associated with the sport. It was under the tutelage of Dr. Hubert Eaton of Wilmington, NC and Dr. Robert W. Johnson of Lynchburg, VA, two African American physicians who loved tennis and helped young African Americans who wanted to play, that she flourished.
She honed her skill, while receiving lessons in etiquette and the social graces, traveled and played in the segregated south, and even earned her high school degree. Her success in tennis earned her an athletic scholarship (basketball and tennis) to Florida A&M, where she received a BA in 1955 at the age of 27. Yet, with all she achieved, she never felt comfortable with the black middle class.
Gibson's first appearance at the U.S. Nationals in 1950 is an extraordinary and dramatic story. Her triumphant return seven years later to win the U.S. Nationals in 1957 and then again in 1958 has been attributed to her coach at the time, Sydney Llewellyn (her second husband). In 1957 and 1958, Gibson was at the top of her game, winning major tournaments including at prestigious Wimbledon.
Though now a world champion, Gibson was unable to make a living playing amateur tennis. In 1959, she turned professional, touring with the Harlem Globetrotters and played paid exhibition matches. Branching out to other areas, she recorded a jazz album for Dot Records, appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, and even landed a role in a John Wayne/John Ford movie, The Horse Soldiers (1959), In the 1960s, she took up golf and in 1964 she became the first African American woman to become a member of the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association).
In 1965, she married the love of her life, William Darben. Angela Buxton, Althea's doubles partner and friend, and Sandra Terry, Darben's niece, speak lovingly about their relationship, though Gibson and Darben's marriage ended in 1975. Gibson would remarry in 1983 to former coach Llewellyn. Art Carrington, ex-professional player, tennis historian and Athea's friend, recalls she married Llewellyn because she was invited to bring a spouse on a trip for former champions. Buxton shares that they were just very good friends and that Gibson felt Llewellyn had done a lot for her. Five years later, this marriage also ended in divorce. Gibson and Darben remained close, reuniting towards the end of her life.
By 1968, Gibson had stopped competing and for a while worked as a tennis teaching pro. In the years that followed, Gibson found it difficult to make ends meet. Was her failure to achieve financial success partially her own doing? As portrayed in the film, Gibson is crushed when she is turned away — unrecognized and unwelcome — at the on-site restaurant on U.S. Open Championship Day.
Depressed and impoverished, in 1996, Gibson called Buxton to say goodbye. In a generous outpouring of financial support, orchestrated by Buxton, the tennis community showed Gibson she was not forgotten. Gibson died September 28, 2003. She was 76.
Though Gibson's accomplishments put her in the forefront of the struggle to eliminate segregation in tennis and to gain equal rights for players, she was a reluctant figure of the civil rights movement. "As far as Althea was concerned, it was not about representing the race," says Arvelia Myers, Althea's friend and tennis professional. Says Billie Jean King, "Arthur and I used our tennis as a platform, that's not what she wanted. She just wanted to play."
"Gibson's athletic prowess was unmatched on the tennis court, making her a formidable competitor," says Michael Kantor, executive producer of American Masters and tennis enthusiast. "Her story remains an important part not only of sports history and African American history, but of American cultural history. American Masters is proud to share the story of this trailblazing athlete and extraordinary woman."

Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal: Finnish research team confirms Sir Simon Rattle's comments
The Vienna Philharmonic felt "at home" here. The great pianist Hélène Grimaud called it an "almost magical place for music" and Sir Simon Rattle advised the people of Munich to "look to Wuppertal".
What has long been known to the international world of music has now been confirmed by science thanks to a Finnish research team: the Große Saal of the Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal is one of the concert halls with the best acoustics in Europe.
Shortly after the interview with Rattle in November 2012 in the Süddeutsche Zeitung that caused such a stir, Professor Tapio Lokki of Finland's Aalto University announced that his team would like to visit Wuppertal to measure the sound quality of the Große Saal scientifically. The award-winning researcher has developed a new method for the precise comparison of the acoustics of different concert halls. This method not only takes into account purely physical measurements, but is also based on sensory assessments of the spatial acoustics. Lokki's conclusion: "Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal is not very well known among acousticians worldwide. However, the hall has very nice acoustics and it should be much better known. We really liked the Stadthalle and it definitely supports the full dynamics that an orchestra can play. It is one of the best concert halls in Europe."
The Finnish acousticians have developed a symphony orchestra simulator, the so-called "loudspeaker orchestra", and have used it to capture the spatial acoustics of 19 European concert halls. In every venue it was set up in an identical way, so that the concert hall was the single changeable factor that could affect the sound of the recording. This is what made a precise comparison of acoustic properties possible later on in the laboratory. When listening to the music from the different concert halls back in the laboratory with the spatial sound reproduction, all subjective hearing tests were also carried out with sensory test methods that reveal the different perception factors between the concert halls.
Using this combination of objective and subjective sensory data, Professor Lokki's team was able to explain the preference for certain concert halls. The traditional "shoebox" architecture is clearly head and shoulders above the rest. The best concert halls in Europe for acoustics – the Concertgebouw Amsterdam, the Wiener Musikverein, the Historische Stadthalle Wuppertal, the Konzerthaus Berlin – all have a similar construction.

Executive Summary (cont.)
The JFK Act required all government agencies to search for the records in their possession concerning the assassination and place them in the National Archives. The Act provided for the appointment of the members of the Review Board within ninety days, but the transition between the Bush and Clinton administrations caused an 18-month delay between passage of the Act and the swearing-in of the Board members. Only then could the Board hire staff and arrange for office space. This delay had two ramifications. First, the Act stated that the work of the Board was to be completed in three years, an unrealistic goal since more than 18 months had already elapsed. (The Board's work was eventually extended to four years.) Second, agencies were sending documents to the National Archives before the Board established its guidelines for their release. Consequently and unfortunately, once the Review Board did provide guidance to the agencies, much of their initial work had to be revised, further slowing the processing and re-reviewing by the Board and its staff.
The Board's first task was to define the term "assassination record" in order to frame the search for relevant records. The statutory definition, a record "related to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy," specifically included any record from the investigating agencies, and records in the possession of the federal government, and any local or state government that assisted in the inquiry into the assassination. But, as noted in the Senate report, "it is intended and emphasized that the search and disclosure of records under this Act must go beyond those records." Congress empowered the Board to determine whether a document was an assassination record and to cast a broad net for such records. Board members engaged in extensive discussion and sought advice from the public before finally issuing its broad definition. The definition enabled the Board to look beyond the narrower confines of the assassination to find and release valuable documents from the early 1960s that enhance the historical understanding of that era, and the political and diplomatic context in which the assassination occurred.
The Review Board overcame its early challenges and, with the help of its able staff, developed guidelines for the release of documents. These served as the yardstick for both its staff and the federal agencies.
The Board's most important task was to review the information the agencies wished to postpone rather than release and then to vote either to sustain the postponement or release the information. Since the Board was working in uncharted territory, it developed creative methods. Three review stages evolved over the four years of the Board's existence. At first, the Board scrutinized each document with infinite care, and by choosing to meet often, made decisions on a document-by-document basis working to understand both the body of information at issue and the balance required by the JFK Act. It eschewed the more generic issue approach which was preferred by the agencies.
During the second stage, the Board delegated some routine decisionmaking to its Board staff, which proceeded with such care that even the slightest question about a document brought it to the Board's attention. Finally, agencies recognized the voting pattern of the Board and for purposes of efficiency began bypassing the review process on their own initiative and releasing records under the Board's guidelines. The Board's review process ultimately ensured that the Review Board scrutinized each piece of withheld information so that the American public would be confident that assassination records were open to the fullest extent possible.
The JFK Act established a stringent standard for postponing the opening of a record. Its minimal list of required postponements and emphasis on the bias toward disclosure separated it from either the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) or the Executive Order that provides for disclosure of national security information. The Board proceeded cautiously as it examined its first documents under the provisions of postponement in Section 6 of the JFK Act. In particular, the Board balanced evidence for postponement against the public interest in release, bearing in mind the Act's "presumption of immediate disclosure." Before agreeing to postponement, the Board applied the stringent requirements for the "clear and convincing evidence" required by the Act. Decisions had to be made on names, dates, places, crypts, pseudonyms, file numbers, sources of information and the method by which it was obtained. Ultimately, the Board created a set of principles, a kind of "common law," that could be applied to many of the documents. Although the agencies often objected to the Board's decisions, they accepted both the statute and the Board's interpretation of it and, for the most part, cooperated.
The JFK Act specifically instructed the Review Board to go beyond the scope of previous inquiries. Since both the Board and its staff had high level security clearances, no agency could prevent a search through every file. After locating files designated by the agencies, the Review Board staff members pursued new sources of assassination records. Most of the Review Board's additional requests for records went to the CIA and FBI, but there were also requests to the Secret Service, the Departments of State and Defense, the National Security Agency, and The President's Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board.
Given the massive volume of federal records, the search for additional records was time consuming and often frustrating. For every assassination record located and included in the collection, the staff literally reviewed hundreds of documents. The documents located through this search for additional records are among the most important in the collection – many were never reviewed by the prior investigations.
The Review Board, in its effort to make the JFK Collection valuable to historians, encouraged private citizens and organizations that possessed records of their own to donate them to the JFK Collection. The collection was significantly enriched by these donations. They included, for example, the desk diaries of former President and Warren Commission member Gerald Ford, the personal files of Jim Garrison, the New Orleans prosecuting attorney, notes taken during interviews with Lee Harvey Oswald by both a Dallas Police Captain and a former FBI agent, and films from individuals in Dallas and President Kennedy's aide, Dave Powers. They also include a donation of papers from the son of J. Lee Rankin, General Counsel of the Warren Commission, and the diary of Clay Shaw, the only person tried for the murder of John F. Kennedy (and subsequently acquitted). The Review Board added to the collection, too, information from state and local offices and officials who were tied to the Oswald investigation.
The JFK Act also encouraged the Review Board to work with the Department of State to include documents from foreign governments. The Board sought records from Russia, Belarus, Cuba and Mexico. For the most part, these attempts proved frustrating and fruitless owing to political and diplomatic constraints. Although many leads were pursued, only a few new records were obtained. Although this is a genuine loss to the historical completeness of the assassination records, work continues on these attempts and the Board is hopeful that eventually these records, particularly the voluminous KGB surveillance records on Oswald, will be added to the JFK Collection.
In the spirit of openness embodied in the JFK Act, the Review Board devoted a significant amount of time and resources listening to and corresponding with its various constituencies. It held a total of seven public hearings, one each in Dallas, Boston, New Orleans, and Los Angeles and three in Washington, DC. In addition, Board members participated in meetings of historical associations, spoke to countless public groups, and cooperated with assassination researchers and the Coalition on Political Assassinations. Over 100 press releases were issued, and Board members made themselves available for many media interviews.
Twice, the Review Board called together a group of invited guests who are "experts" in their fields. The first conference was held in May 1995. It provided the Review Board and the staff with the opportunity to discuss prior investigative efforts that were thwarted due to lack of access to records. The participants provided the Board staff with recommendations for further searches. The second conference, held in April 1998, focused narrowly on the issue of document declassification. This informative meeting helped Board members to formulate recommendations for this final report.
From time to time the frequent and sustained contact with the public diverted the staff from its primary responsibilities – identifying and releasing records. However, the benefits far outweighed the costs. The Review Board received valuable leads from the public about the existence of other assassination records and, more important, received donations that enhanced the collection at the National Archives.
Finally, the Review Board staff implemented a program to ensure, to the fullest extent possible, that each agency complied with the JFK Act. A signed declaration was required from each agency, under penalty of perjury. This compliance statement described the record searches that the agency completed, records that it located, and other actions it took to comply with the law.
Before agencies submitted their Final Declarations of Compliance, the staff worked with them to resolve outstanding problems. In the compliance statement, each agency addressed the scope and adequacy of its search, the adequacy of its response to the requests for additional information, and the timeliness with which it processed its records for release. The Board and staff also decided to depose officials of agencies with poor records systems and those that failed to comply with the spirit of the Act. The legacy of the JFK Review Board lies in the more than four million pages of records now in the National Archives and available to the public with remarkably few redactions. These records include critical documentation on the events in Dallas, Lee Harvey Oswald, and the reactions of government agencies to the assassination. They also include documents that enhance the historical understanding of that traumatic event in recent American history by placing it in the broader context of political and diplomatic events.

The system can monitor leakage of double-wall tanks in real time, also have sound-light alarm function, and is specifically designed to monitor the leakage of oil and water in the interlayer of double-wall tanks and double-wall pipelines.
Once there is a leakage occurs in the interlayer, the sensor will be triggered, the leak alarm controller will receive a signal from sensor, it will automatically determine leakage information and then give a lighting display and sound light alarm.
According to the alarm, user can make a timely response and take measures to avoid the occurrence of potential hazard and environmental pollution.
Safety: Tested and approved by CQST, and the explosion-proof grade is ExiaIIAT4, can be used in zone 0 and Zone 1.
Reliable: Using float type principle, can adapt to complex scene environment, have strong anti-interference ability.
Convenient installation: The leak signal will be transmitted directly to the leak alarm controller by 2 core cable.

Home Churches St Paul's Chapel and St Paul's Church
St Paul's Chapel and St Paul's Church, Camden
Two great occasions in the history of our parish have been experienced this century - (a) the Pauline Year (28 June 2008 until 28 June 2009) on the occasion of St Paul having been born two thousand year ago, and (b) the 150th anniversary of St Paul's Chapel in 2009.
From these two historical occasions, further initiatives have been taken towards the restoration of St Paul's chapel and the enhancement of St Paul's church. Plans to restore the chapel have been in place for a long time and considerable work has already been completed.
The new work will involve the building of new sacristies between the church and the presbytery. The present sacristies will be turned into a glass Reconciliation chapel on one side (with curtains) with pews on the other for penitents in waiting.
The whole chapel will be restored with new plastering where necessary, complete painting in heritage colours, replacement of the florescent lights with heritage lights, removal of wall papering on the sanctuary, heating, and much more.
Externally, a glass structure has been envisaged near the belltower to offer protection from the elements for people leaving the chapel from underneath the choir loft, as well as for those leaving the church from under the belltower. The glass structure will offer protection in adverse weather conditions for all our parishioners, and especially for wedding cars and funeral cars.
The church will also be given an injection of funds with new air-conditioning, padded kneelers, state-of-the-art audio visual equipment, a new bell, and much more. New foyers are also planned.
Work begun in 2016. And if funds are sufficient, the extension of the presbytery towards the school will also be considered. Collectively, the completion of all these projects will further modernise parish facilities, and provide a quality work and living environment for many decades into the future.

Nintendo Announces OLED Model For Nintendo Switch: Is It Enough Of An Upgrade?
Posted by Hunter Bolding | Jul 6, 2021 | Gaming News, Gaming Products, Latest News & Rumors | 0 |
So the Nintendo Switch Pro we were waiting for, is actually a revision on the existing Switch. Normally we get a fancy title with revisions like this: Nintendo DS Lite, Game Boy SP, stuff like that. Now, we just have to call it the Nintendo Switch OLED. The console on the inside is the same as the first revision done to the Switch. The screen is going to be more vibrant and colorful thanks to the OLED screen. So that's a big plus over the original Switch screen that can sometimes look a bit murky.
That screen is also 7 inches instead of 6.2 inches, so that could be a noticeable difference for some. They likely couldn't make it any bigger than that, otherwise it would be too cumbersome to have in handheld mode. The other changes are to the shell of the device and the dock.
Cosmetic And Quality Of Life Changes
The OLED Switch has a new and improved dock but doesn't include 4K capability or any other performance changes. The dock now has an ethernet port for better online connectivity. It'll come in two variations: white/black and the normal neon red/blue. Older Switch consoles work with the new dock. Existing Switch peripherals also work with the new OLED model.
The OLED Switch retails for $349.99. It releases on the same day as Metroid: Dread, October 8th, so grab one then. Preorders aren't open quite yet, but check out wherever you grab your gaming consoles and games for more details on that.
Is It Worth Upgrading?
So, the big question is, does this feel like it's a worthy upgrade to the existing Switch? If you play in Handheld mode a lot, then it probably is. That OLED screen is beautiful. If you've had a PlayStation Vita Model 1, you know how crisp an OLED screen can look. This is going to improve the fidelity of your games while you're out and about. The bigger screen is also a huge plus and that extra almost inch is going to be pretty nice.
On the other hand, the battery life is likely the same or maybe a bit worse than the current revision. The CPU, RAM, and other hardware are the same as well.
