Off the trains, CTA officials were checking to make sure there is plenty of sand in boxes on “L” platforms, to be scattered to make surfaces less slippery, Hosinski said. Salt is used in bus turnaround areas and leading up to station houses.

In June 1966, a woman picketed in front of a Western Union office in Richmond. Members of the Commercial Telegraphers Union, including about 50 locally, walked off the job for several hours to dramatize their demands for pay raises. On the same day, the union and Western Union agreed to a one-week contract extension to avoid further disruptions while negotiations continued.

“Joe Menosky and I wrote ‘In Theory’, the Data romance, and we had to come up with some stupid subspace anomaly that the Enterprise had to be battling at the same time. It was annoying storytelling, but that was built in to the structure of the show. While you were downstairs with Data, you always kind of wondered what the ship was doing”

That’s not his quarters, there’s no bed for one. And we know that it’s a new set that was built for the express purpose of giving Pike a new meeting room. So it may not be directly connected to the bridge, but this new meeting room takes the place of the old ready room for talking to his officers.

So, I guess what I’m also wondering is, you talked about, certainly on the slide and in the presentation, looking to move some high-grade material forward in the mine plan, and it feels like you’ve been just kind of a little ahead of reserve grade recently. Are you looking to kind of still kind of maintain that, or are you looking for a pretty significant bump in the grade you’re moving forward? And I guess my question really is trying to get at are you gonna kind of be above the reserve grade in aggregate there for a few years, and then kind of to what degree, such that I kind of understand to what degree it might — sorry, it might dip below reserve grade going forward?

But we don’t see any evidence of the girl’s technical ability or why she’d be trusted around the phaser. I have a feeling dialogue or scenes were cut for time that would have fleshed this out.

This April 1960 photo shows the intersection of Chamberlayne Avenue and Brookland Park Boulevard in North Richmond. The area had just been rezoned to permit commercial development along both sides of the Chamberlayne.

DLR – downward, long-wave emissions, stems from the temperature of the atmosphere … taking into account, the emissivity, the DLR varies directly according to the fourth power of the atmospheric temperature. I believe that there is adequate evidence of an increase in the global atmospheric temperature, right? That, according to that T⁴ relationship, says that the DLR should increase. Trying to discern the tiny slivers of the CO₂ narrow band emissions, if they increased, strains credulity. Both times, Feldman 2014 (or is it 2015) and Feldman 2018 (with Methane) … Feldman resorts to using a computer model to calculate counterfactual spectra … thus, even his evidence is model-based.

Video game movies have a bad reputation because, honestly, there are very few that we’d call actually "good." At their best, at least so far, these big-screen adaptations have been fun and trashy entertainment. At their worst, they’re among the worst movies ever made. 

In a year when the cultural conversation around gender and sexual fluidity became more nuanced than ever, Japan-born, U.K.-bred Rina Sawayama’s breakout disco-pop single “Cherry” feels simultaneously revelatory and casual, avoiding the gimmicky trappings of past sexual-experimentation pop anthems. As she sings, “Holding onto feelings/ I’m not used to feeling / ‘Cause, oh, they make me feel alive,” Sawayama’s voice shoots skyward, pairing perfectly with her newly discovered freedom and acceptance of herself as a pansexual woman. – ERIC FRANKENBERG

The effort was certainly unusual. On page 21, he presents a facsimile of a well-known photograph of the lunar surface, the black of outer space cresting up beyond the horizon behind. It bears a terse caption: “Where are the STARS?” Yes, it was foolish of NASA’s counterfeiters to have left stars out of what Kaysing concludes is an obvious composite. Were these photos as fraudulent as he maintains, and had they included whatever details whose absence he cites as clinching proof of their fraudulence, Kaysing would chalk the added touches up to NASA’s fastidiousness. Photos can be faked. So, of course, they must be.
