Jack Boyd and Hans Mark
INSIGHT | ASK MAGAZINE | 35 From Masters with Masters: Jack Boyd and Hans Mark In August 2012, NASA Chief Knowledge Officer and Academy of Program/Project and Engineering Leadership Director Ed Hoffman sat down with Hans Mark, from the University of Texas at Austin, and NASA’s Jack Boyd at the Ames Research Center as part of the Academy’s Masters with Masters series. Dr. Mark has held several roles, including NASA deputy administrator, Ames center director, chancellor of the University of Texas, secretary and undersecretary of the air force, director of the National Reconnaissance Office, and director of research and engineering at the Department of Defense. Jack Boyd has worked at Ames for more than sixty years and is the senior advisor to the Ames center director. He has been the NASA associate administrator for management, and has also served as the acting deputy center director for Ames. Ames engineers (left to right) Allen Faye, Merrill Mead, and Jack Boyd discuss aircraft design and handling.

In Memoriam Rudolf E. Kalman
1 In Memoriam (photo: NAE) Rudolf E. Kalman May 19, 1930 - July 2, 2016 Professor Rudolf Emil Kalman, formerly Graduate Research Professor and Director of the Center for Mathematical System Theory at the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida and the chair for Mathematical System Theory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) in Zurich, Switzerland, passed away peacefully at his home in Gainesville, Florida, on July 2, 2016, after a short but valiant fight with cancer. He was 86 years old. He is survived by his wife Constantina nee Stavrou, their two children Andrew and Elisabeth, and their families. Starting in the early 1960’s, Kalman’s creative genius launched an era of transformative strides in systems science that enabled technological achievements that include the landing on the moon and GPS-enabled cellphones. Chief amongst his creations was the Kalman filter which resides deep inside almost every navigation system, sensor technology, and computer-controlled regulation device. The present special commemorative issue of the ASME Journal of Dynamic Systems, Measurement, and Control is dedicated to his memory and has been assembled to touch upon representative lines of research that spawned from his profound thought and to reflect upon his salient influence in so many facets of engineering and science. Rudolf Emil Kalman was born in Budapest on May 19, 1930, the son of Otto and Ursula Kalman. The Kalman family left Hungary in 1943, during World War II, and emigrated to the United States. The family arrived in Youngstown, Ohio, in 1949. Kalman attended Youngstown College for three years before being admitted at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to study electrical engineering. -

A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas. -
Crater Geometry and Ejecta Thickness of the Martian Impact Crater Tooting
Meteoritics & Planetary Science 42, Nr 9, 1615–1625 (2007) Abstract available online at http://meteoritics.org Crater geometry and ejecta thickness of the Martian impact crater Tooting Peter J. MOUGINIS-MARK and Harold GARBEIL Hawai‘i Institute of Geophysics and Planetology, University of Hawai‘i, Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96822, USA (Received 25 October 2006; revision accepted 04 March 2007) Abstract–We use Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) topographic data and Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) visible (VIS) images to study the cavity and the ejecta blanket of a very fresh Martian impact crater ~29 km in diameter, with the provisional International Astronomical Union (IAU) name Tooting crater. This crater is very young, as demonstrated by the large depth/ diameter ratio (0.065), impact melt preserved on the walls and floor, an extensive secondary crater field, and only 13 superposed impact craters (all 54 to 234 meters in diameter) on the ~8120 km2 ejecta blanket. Because the pre-impact terrain was essentially flat, we can measure the volume of the crater cavity and ejecta deposits. Tooting crater has a rim height that has >500 m variation around the rim crest and a very large central peak (1052 m high and >9 km wide). Crater cavity volume (i.e., volume below the pre-impact terrain) is ~380 km3 and the volume of materials above the pre-impact terrain is ~425 km3. The ejecta thickness is often very thin (<20 m) throughout much of the ejecta blanket. There is a pronounced asymmetry in the ejecta blanket, suggestive of an oblique impact, which has resulted in up to ~100 m of additional ejecta thickness being deposited down-range compared to the up-range value at the same radial distance from the rim crest.
