In 1961, Johnson did trajectory analysis for Alan Shepard’s Freedom 7 Mission, the first to carry an American into space. “You tell me when and where you want it to come down, and I will tell you where and when and how to launch it.” “Our office computed all the (rocket) trajectories,” Johnson told The Virginian-Pilot newspaper in 2012. But her work at NASA’s Langley Research Center eventually shifted to Project Mercury, the nation’s first human space program. Johnson focused on airplanes and other research at first. Signs had dictated which bathrooms the women could use. Johnson and other black women initially worked in a racially segregated computing unit in Hampton, Virginia, that wasn’t officially dissolved until NACA became NASA in 1958. Johnson was one of the “computers” who solved equations by hand during NASA’s early years and those of its precursor organization, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a statement that Johnson “helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space even as she made huge strides that also opened doors for women and people of color.” Johnson died Monday of natural causes at a retirement community in Newport News, Virginia, family attorney Donyale Y.

![]() I would have appreciated separate films about young Vito and the evolution of Michael. But I am not sure the flashbacks strengthen the film. As Michael changes, we see why he feels that he must. To be sure, the life of young Vito helps to explain the forming of the adult Don Corleone, and to establish in the film the Sicilian code of omerta. Here the murder becomes another rung on Vito’s ladder to success. It is a built-in reality that we tend to identify with a film’s POV. Such events as Vito’s murder of the minor-league New York godfather have their barbarism somewhat softened as Coppola adopts Vito’s point of view and follows him as he climbs rooftops to ambush the man and successfully escapes. No false romanticism conceals the necessity of using murder to do business. These scenes, taking place in Sicily and old New York, follow the conventional pattern of a young man on the rise and show the Mafia code being burned into the Corleone blood. The devolution of Michael Corleone is counterpointed by flashbacks to the youth and young manhood of his father, Vito ( Robert De Niro). Consider how deeply we are moved by certain operatic arias that are utter nonsense. ![]() But the score is sad, and music can often evoke emotion more surely and subtly than story. If Rota’s score had been energetic and pounding, we might see him as more closely paralleling Tony Montana in a better film, Brian DePalma’s “ Scarface” (1983). In attempting to fill the shoes of his father, Michael has lost sight of those values that made Don Corleone better than he had to be and has become a new godfather every bit as evil as he has to be. If the score evokes pity, it is Michael’s self-pity. In “Part II” (1974), we see him lose his remaining shreds of morality and become an empty shell, insecure and merciless. Why should we regret the passing of a regime built on murder, extortion, bribery, theft and the ruthless will of frightened men? Observe how powerfully Nino Rota’s music sways our feelings for the brutal events onscreen.Īt the end of Francis Ford Coppola’s masterwork “ The Godfather” (1972), we have seen Michael Corleone ( Al Pacino) change from a young man who wanted to stand apart from his family to one who did not hesitate to take up the reigns of control. Nostalgic, mournful, evoking lost eras, it stirs emotions we shouldn’t really feel for this story, and wouldn’t, if the score were more conventional for a crime movie. The musical score plays an even greater role in “The Godfather: Part II” than it did in the original film. ![]() The Padlock’s terrain ranges from mountains with snow and pines, to sagebrush and rolling hills. “The predictions are that there will be some profitability in the cow-calf sector that’s the other reason to try to hold on to these cows,” he says.Ĭonversely, if rain doesn’t come for another year or two, the approach will prove to be costly, but they’ve built some flexibility into their operating plan. When it does finally rain, Patterson says they don’t want to be in a position to have to replace cows in an economic environment where cows are expensive to purchase and calves are going to be worth quite a bit to sell. Although it’s still a tremendous cost to the operation, buying replacements in the current market would be more expensive.” “Those costs,” Patterson says, “get capitalized, the expenses come off of the income statement onto the balance sheet, and the animal is depreciated over a period of time. Padlock works to develop as many of their heifers as possible on ranchland in order to keep costs as low as possible. Patterson says the cost of producing a bred heifer has risen almost $200/head in the last five years. Part of Padlock’s plan involves utilizing raised replacement heifers. “The weather threats are a very real risk, but we aren’t anxious to liquidate a lot of cows.”ĭuring his presentation, Patterson outlined some of programs and steps the operation has taken to position itself against the challenges ahead, as well as for the coming opportunities. After losing 80,000 acres of rangeland to wildfire last year, Patterson says the operation’s current overall goal is to get through the drought and hold the cowherd together. The 70-year-old Padlock Ranch sprawls across nearly 500,000 acres in Wyoming and Montana. The key is being prepared.Īppearing before attendees of the recent 9th Annual Cattlemen’s Workshop in La Grande, OR, Patterson began by saying: “We’re as dry as everyone else around us north of Sheridan, WY, but we have the ability built into our production plan to deal with this situation.” Trey Patterson, chief operations officer of the Padlock Ranch, says he’s among those concerned about the risks currently facing the cattle industry, but he’s optimistic and sees tremendous opportunities ahead for cattle producers. ![]() Drought, wildfires and high feed prices have forced many cattle producers across the nation to evaluate their operating systems as they struggle to survive these weather-induced lean years.

![]() ![]() Just say that the building blocks of wavelengths and what those are doing is kind of the essentials of UV.Īshkahn: And UV basically, how it’s keeping things clean is that it is, unlike a lot of the other things like chlorine, and bromine, peroxide, stuff like that, UV is actually breaking down the RNA and sometimes the DNA of these kinds of pathogenic organisms that are in your solution and stops them from being able to replicate. Graham: But even the difference between low pressure and medium pressure, a lot of that also does have an effect on just the wavelengths that are going on. ![]() Graham: But a lot of it is based around that simple idea of wavelengths, right? It’s how can you get those specific wavelengths of light to pass through as much of the water as you possibly can and do a good enough job disinfecting for the flow that you have.Īshkahn: There’s also things like UV interacting with chlorine and how much collectors, things about UV absorption with the actual microorganisms and trying to up the absorption of the organisms for the UV to be more thorough, it’s just all sorts of crazy, crazy stuff. And there’s some differences between low pressure and medium pressure systems and there’s obviously unbelievably complicated stuff that goes into UV, there’s so many things and we honestly know all of those things. But there’s some extremely common ones in terms the wavelengths that go into different types of disinfection and stuff like that. And when we talk about UV lights in the form of sanitation, we’re also just talking about a specific section of the UV range. Graham: And UV is a specific spectrum of the light.Īshkahn: So UV is a spectrum of the light. Let’s get real with UV.Īshkahn: Both a particle and a wave. Graham: Let’s just talk about what we really want to talk about instead of answering those questions at all?Īshkahn: I think we should talk about UV in general. Graham: All of these are important question.Īshkahn: This is perhaps a good opportunity to, and I think maybe let’s just go over. Graham: Is it that you just have a policy of replacing the bulb every six months and nothing’s going wrong? ‘Cause in the case-Īshkahn: Is it that you’re looking at the light bulb on the ceiling of your room and just confused? Like what what makes you think that you have to replace them every six months? Is it just because the light is literally not working at some point?Īshkahn: Yes what is it that’s leading you to this conclusion? Graham: And there’s a lot going on there. Graham: Today’s question is, “I feel like have to replace my UV bulbs once every six months or so. ![]() Start MuMu Player and complete Google sign-in to access the Play Store.
