Brown v. Board of Education is decided on May 17, 1954

Brown v. Board of Education is decided: In a major civil rights victory, the U.S. Supreme Court hands down an unanimous decision in Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, ruling that racial segregation in public educational facilities is unconstitutional. The historic decision, which brought an end to federal tolerance of racial segregation, specifically dealt with Linda Brown, a young African American girl who had been denied admission to her local elementary school in Topeka, Kansas, because of the color of her skin.

In 1896, the Supreme Court ruled in Plessy v. Ferguson that “separate but equal” accommodations in railroad cars conformed to the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of equal protection. That ruling was used to justify segregating all public facilities, including elementary schools. However, in the case of Linda Brown, the white school she attempted to attend was far superior to her black alternative and miles closer to her home. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) took up Linda’s cause, and in 1954 Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka reached the Supreme Court. African American lawyer (and future Supreme Court justice) Thurgood Marshall led Brown’s legal team, and on May 17, 1954, the high court handed down its decision.

In an opinion written by Chief Justice Earl Warren, the nation’s highest court ruled that not only was the “separate but equal” doctrine unconstitutional in Linda’s case, it was unconstitutional in all cases because educational segregation stamped an inherent badge of inferiority on African American students. A year later, after hearing arguments on the implementation of their ruling, the Supreme Court published guidelines requiring public school systems to integrate “with all deliberate speed”.

Brown v. Board of Education served to greatly motivate the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s and ultimately led to the abolishment of racial segregation in all public facilities and accommodations.

Role of the Composite Warfare Commander (CWC)

In deciding the assignment and location of warfare commanders and coordinators the CWC should take into account the tactical situation, size of force and the capabilities of the available assets to cope with the expected threat.

Such analysis may lead the CWC to decide to retain direct control of one or more of the warfare areas. When appropriate, a designated commander may be assigned alternate and supporting functions in addition to his primary responsibility.

1. Location of CWC

The battlegroup commander requires a clean tactical picture to control his forces effectively.

(a) has ready access to his principal assets;

(b) is minimally handicapped by any emission controls (EMCON) or communications limitations; and

(c) has optimum facilities for receipt, processing, and display of information concerning unit readiness and the tactical situation.

Within the battlegroup, the CWC can best control combat operations from the carrier.

Tightly structured rules of engagement (ROE) may require the CWC to maintain more direct control of assets.

Methodologically speaking, the CWC doctrine provides a structure around which tactics can be executed.

However, CWC is not a “tactic” unto itself.

Individual mission parameters must dictate how much or how little the doctrine is employed.

2. CWC Limitations

As with any command theory or doctrine, the CWC concept has its limitations.

For example, the CWC doctrine is designed for macro battlegroup or task force level operations.

Smaller task units or elements may allow a separate Officer in Tactical Command (OTC) to fulfill all sea control functions himself.

The CWC doctrine also developed during the Cold War for potential multi-threat combat operations against the former Soviet Union.

Contingency operations encompassing lesser threats or politically selective operations involving tightly structured ROEs may require the CWC to maintain even more direct control of assets.

Conceptually, the CWC doctrine provides a framework around which tactics are executed. In all cases however, the assigned mission must dictate how much or how little the doctrine is employed.

Another limitation is the multiple tasking of battlegroup platforms without clear definition of priorities.

Most importantly, the CWC and his individual warfare commanders must understand their responsibilities and how they may change in different tactical situations or as a limited engagement transitions to hot war.

and let him make her sorry to see him leave.”

“You are not only responsible for what you say,

but also for what you do not say.”

“There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.”

“For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.”

“Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.”

“Our souls may lose their peace and even disturb other people's,

if we are always criticizing trivial actions -

which often are not real defects at all,

but we construe them wrongly through our ignorance of their motives.”

“The things that we love tell us what we are.”

“A man has free choice to the extent that he is rational.”

“Love takes up where knowledge leaves off.”

“To one who has faith,

no explanation is necessary.

To one without faith,

no explanation is possible.”

to know what he ought to believe;

to know what he ought to desire;

and to know what he ought to do.”

Mr. Answer Man Please Tell Us: Why Are Bathtubs So Small? The Answer Is More Complex Than You Might Imagine

The scene is a familiar one to most people: You lie in a bathtub full of water and bubbles. The water is hot and you're ready to relax. But no matter how you position yourself, you find yourself facing an agonizing dilemma - either your legs end up sticking out of the water, or your head and shoulders do. Whichever way you're contorted, part of you is cold.

Bathing, victorian-style

In order to fully understand the reason why bathtubs aren't comfortably human-sized, it's important to consider how the world was different when plumbing first made its way into our homes.

“Indoor plumbing came into the United States in the late 1880s”, Jeremy Cressman, a veteran of the residential and commercial bath industry who currently serves as the vice president of sales and marketing at BLANCO America. In the late 19th century it was difficult to make large bathtubs because of the expense involved—though cost wasn't the only thing governing typical tub size. People were a little smaller, too. And baths tended to be made with cast iron, so they were heavy and difficult to move. (Contemporary bathtubs are often made from fiber-reinforced plastic.)

It was when production building took off in the early 20th century that a “cookie-cutter approach” to housing standardized the size of the domestic bath, Cressman says. Bathrooms were approximately 5 feet by 7 feet, with the tub—typically measuring 5 feet in length and 32 inches in width—placed along the smaller wall. The bathtub's mass-produced dimensions have always presupposed the size of a person, and excluded those shaped differently.

The Bathtub Boom

Alison K. Hoagland, author of The Bathroom: A Social History of Cleanliness and the Body, says that just after World War II, Crane - a major producer of bathtubs - reported that 75 percent of their business was in 5-foot tubs, as smaller tubs are cheaper and therefore more appealing to landlords.

They're also easier to maintain, and require a smaller volume of water. For this situation to change, “Architects would have to design different-sized bathrooms, and then you'd need a critical mass of demand to bring the price down”, Hoagland says. This doesn't look likely to happen any time soon.

“The bathing industry makes that [size bathtub] because they know that's where the volume is”, Tim Ahearn, national sales manager at BLANCO America - who was head of sales at Jacuzzi Luxury Bath for more than 30 years.

Given how much else has changed since the Victorian era, however, it's surprising that bathtubs haven't followed suit. According to award-winning architect Christie Pearson, author of The Architecture of Bathing, architectural historian Sigfried Giedion was making this point way back in his 1948 book, Mechanization Takes Command.

Pearson believes that even now, our attitudes toward bathing are inextricably bound up with the prudish age in which the practice entered the home.

“What is being implied”, she tells, “is [that] bathing isn't enjoyable, and you shouldn't be there for too long. You have to have a bathtub to clean your children, but once you get big enough, you ought to be taking a shower.”

Online discussions about the perplexing shortness of bathtubs feature theories about people being in danger of drowning if tubs grew any longer, baths being more for children than they are for adults, and bathtubs simply weighing too much if they became too large.

Really, only the second idea holds water, as it were - and even here, it may be that baths are associated more with children precisely because they are too small for many adults to enjoy, not the other way around.

Out with the Bathwater

Whether it has to do with their inconvenient size or pure aesthetics, many people - Millennials in particular - are abandoning bathtubs altogether.

“The volume for tubs has been declining over the years, and most especially the large-volume purchasers like multi-family housing developers or hotel brands”, Cressman says.

This shift likely has something to do with our changing pace of life. Meanwhile, Hoagland points out that our commuting lifestyles make a quick daily shower more efficient than a time-consuming bath.

In the Victorian era, when you might have only bathed once a week, it made more sense to do so in a slow, relaxed manner. Eco-friendliness has also become a concern, with many people opting for showers over baths in an effort to conserve water.

Unfortunately, this growing culture of shower-takers will not incentivize the manufacturing of longer bathtubs. For that to happen, Pearson advocates for nothing less than a radical reappraisal of the bath—one that goes beyond just its physical dimensions.

As we take fewer baths and begin to perceive the bathtub itself as too impractical to spend much time in, we lose touch with an important aspect of life.

The bath is relaxing in a way a shower can only wish it was.

“It's a vessel for dreaming; for languor; for non-productive time”, Pearson says. “It's a vessel for reverie. How much space does that deserve, and how are we being encouraged to value or devalue it by the square foot?”

Where Did That Saying Come From?

“A bad penny always turns up:”

Meaning: A disreputable or prodigal person will always return. More generally, this proverb refers to the recurrence of any unwanted event.

History: This proverb has lived long in the language. It derives from the notion that some coins were 'bad', that is, they were debased or counterfeit.

The 'clipping' of coins was rife in the Middle Ages, long before standardisation of the coinage was reliably enforced. This example from the reign of Edward I shows the degree of 'badness' that pennies then endured.

The term 'bad penny' was established enough in English by the late 14th century for it to have been used in William Langland's famous prose poem The vision of William concerning Piers Plowman, 1370-90:

“Men may lykne letterid men... to a badde peny.”

The expression continued to be used and, by the 18th century, the proverb as we now know it began to find its way into print. An example is found in 1742 in Henry Fielding's translation of Aristophanes Plutus:

“his [the phrase ‘A very bad stamp’] is literal from the Greek... It was a Metaphor taken from their Money. We have a Proverb in English not unlike it, a bad Penny.”

What made whoever coined this proverb link bad pennies with the notion of something unwelcome returning isn't now clear. Perhaps it was the sense that, if you clip or pass on a bad penny, it won't be long before it comes back to you in your change. Our present day expression of that would be 'what goes around comes around'.

Bizarre News (we couldn’t make up stuff this good - real news story)

To be declassified: UFO broke sound barrier with no sonic boom

Fish school, insects swarm and birds fly in murmurations. Now, new research finds that on the most basic level, this kind of group behavior forms a new kind of active matter, called a swirlonic state.

Physical laws such as Newton's second law of motion - which states that as a force applied to an object increases, its acceleration increases, and that as the object's mass increases, its acceleration decreases — apply to passive, nonliving matter, ranging from atoms to planets.

But much of the matter in the world is active matter and moves under its own, self-directed, force, said Nikolai Brilliantov, a mathematician at Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology in Russia and the University of Leicester in England. Living things as diverse as bacteria, birds and humans can interact with the forces upon them.

There are examples of non-living active matter, too. Nanoparticles known as “Janus particles”, are made up of two sides with different chemical properties. The interactions between the two sides create self-propelled movement.

To explore active matter, Brilliantov and his colleagues used a computer to simulate particles that could self-propel. These particles weren't consciously interacting with the environment, Brilliantov told Live Science. Rather, they were more akin to simple bacteria or nanoparticles with internal sources of energy, but without information-processing abilities.

The first surprise was that this active matter behaves very differently than passive matter. Different states of passive matter can coexist, Brilliantov said. For example, a glass of liquid water can gradually evaporate into a gaseous state while still leaving liquid water behind. The active matter, by contrast, didn't coexist in different phases; it was all solid, all liquid or all gas.

The particles also grouped together as large conglomerates, or quasi-particles, which milled together in a circular pattern around a central void, kind of like a swirl of schooling sardines. The researchers dubbed these particle conglomerates "swirlons," and named the new state of matter they formed a “swirlonic state”.

In this swirlonic state, the particles displayed bizarre behavior. For example, they violated Newton's second law: When a force was applied to them, they did not accelerate.

“[They] just move with a constant velocity, which is absolutely surprising”, Brilliantov said.

The simulations were basic, and experimental work with real-world active matter is an important next step, he said. Brilliantov and his colleagues also plan to do more complex simulations using active-matter particles with information-processing abilities. These will more closely resemble insects and animals and help to reveal the physical laws governing schooling, swarming and flocking. Ultimately the goal is to create self-assembling materials out of active matter, Brilliantov said, which makes it important to understand the phases of this kind of matter.

“It's quite important that we see the nature of active matter" is much richer than that of passive matter”, Brilliantov said.
