News Katherine Johnson, ‘hidden figure’ at NASA during 1960s space race, dies at 101 - The Washington Post

News

Her title, poached by the expertise that would possibly well per chance soon manufacture the providers of a great deal of her colleagues former, became once “computer.”

Mrs. Johnson, who died Feb. 24 at 101, went on to assemble equations that helped the NACA and its successor, NASA, send astronauts into orbit and, later, to the moon. In 26 signed reports for the effect company, and in many extra papers that bore others’ signatures on her work, she codified mathematical suggestions that dwell on the core of human effect jog.

She became once now not the first unlit woman to work as a NASA mathematician, nor the first to write down a analysis myth for the company, however Mrs. Johnson became once within the end acknowledged as a pathbreaker for ladies and African People within the newly created field of spaceflight.

Treasure most on the help of the scenes participants of the effect program, Mrs. Johnson became once overshadowed within the celebrated imagination by the lifestyles-risking astronauts whose flights she calculated, and to a lesser extent by the division heads beneath whom she served.

She failed to allege mainstream attention until President Barack Obama awarded her the Presidential Medal of Freedom — the country’s most sensible probably civilian honor — in 2015. The next year, her analysis became once notorious in doubtlessly one of the most sensible-promoting e book “Hidden Figures” by Margot Lee Shetterly and the Oscar-nominated film adaptation starring Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer and Janelle Monáe.

Mrs. Johnson became once “vital to the success of the early U.S. effect functions,” Bill Barry, NASA’s chief historian, mentioned in a 2017 interview for this obituary. “She had a unique mind, curiosity and skill position in mathematics that allowed her to fabricate many contributions, every of that would possibly well per chance very neatly be thought to be well-known of a single lifetime.”

A math prodigy from West Virginia who mentioned she “counted ­every thing” as a child — “the steps to the road, the steps up to church, the will of dishes and silverware I washed” — Mrs. Johnson worked as a schoolteacher sooner than being employed as a computer on the NACA’s flight analysis division, essentially based at Langley Study Middle in Hampton, Va.

The company became once established in 1915 and started enlisting white ladies to work as computers 20 years later. Sunless computers, assigned mainly to segregated providers, like been first employed all over the labor scarcity of World Battle II. Mrs. Johnson became once one of about 100 computers, roughly one-third of whom like been unlit, when she joined the NACA.

The movie “Hidden Figures” took occasional liberties with truth to stress the indignities of segregation. Mrs. Johnson, performed by Henson, is forced to bustle half of a mile to attain the “colored” lavatory. Essentially, Mrs. Johnson mentioned, she used the loo closest to her desk.

“I failed to essentially feel worthy discrimination, however then that’s me,” she recalled in a 1992 NASA oral ancient past. When she detected hints of racism, equivalent to when a white colleague stood up to leave as soon as she sat down, she mentioned, she tried to now not answer. “I don’t keep on my emotions on my shoulder. So I bought along magnificent.”

Mrs. Johnson had a bachelor’s level in mathematics and spent her early occupation studying knowledge from plane crashes, serving to devise air security standards at a time when the company’s central tell became once aviation. Then, in October 1957, the launch of the Soviet satellite tv for computer Sputnik thrust the effect bustle into corpulent tilt.

Mrs. Johnson and dozens of work-mates wrote a 600-page technical myth titled “Notes on Condo Expertise” outlining the mathematical underpinnings of spaceflight, from rocket propulsion to orbital mechanics and warmth security.

Regarded as one of rocket science’s most vexing challenges, they soon realized, became once calculating flight trajectories to make certain that astronauts returned safely to Earth, splashing down within the ocean reasonably stop to a Navy vessel waiting to pluck them from the water.

For astronauts equivalent to Alan B. Shepard Jr., who grew to turn into the first American in effect when Freedom 7 launched on Would possibly per chance well furthermore 5, 1961, the math became once moderately straight forward. Shepard’s craft rose and fell, love a champagne cork, without entering orbit.

Calculating the trajectory for an orbital flight, equivalent to the one to be undertaken by Marine pilot John Glenn in 1962, became once “orders of magnitude extra complex,” mentioned Shetterly, the “Hidden Figures” author.

“I mentioned, ‘Let me assemble it,’ ” Mrs. Johnson recalled in a 2008 NASA interview. “You expose me whenever you happen to want it and where you would like it to land, and I’ll assemble it backwards and expose you when to use off.”

Mrs. Johnson’s findings, outlined in a 1960 paper she wrote with engineer Ted Skopinski, enabled engineers to resolve exactly when to launch a spacecraft and when to originate its reentry. The paper, “Option of Azimuth Perspective at Burnout for Inserting a Satellite tv for computer Over a Selected Earth Set,” marked the first time a lady wrote a technical myth in NASA’s elite flight ­analysis division.

“That it's probably you'll work your teeth out, however you didn’t gather your name on the parable,” she mentioned within the 1992 oral ancient past, crediting her step forward to what she described as an assertive personality. When a superior mentioned that she would possibly well per chance now not accompany male colleagues to a briefing related to her work, Mrs. Johnson requested, “Is there a regulations that says I'm able to’t wander?” Her boss relented.

Mrs. Johnson’s handwritten calculations like been mentioned to love been extra depended on than these performed by mainframe computers. A short time sooner than Glenn launched into effect, he requested engineers to “gather the girl to test the numbers.”

“Your whole ladies like been called ‘the ladies,’ ” mentioned Barry, “and everyone knew exactly which woman he became once talking about.” Mrs. Johnson, who became once then 43, spent a day and a half of checking the trajectory calculations made by the IBM computer sooner than giving the wander-forward to Glenn, who grew to turn into the first American astronaut to orbit the Earth.

In a subsequent myth, Mrs. Johnson took her calculations one step extra, working with a whole lot of colleagues to resolve how a spacecraft would possibly well per chance circulation inner and out of a planetary body’s orbit. Her formulas like been well-known to the success of the Apollo lunar program and are silent in expend on the brand new time, Barry mentioned. “If we return to the moon, or to Mars, we’ll be the expend of her math.”

Modest beginnings

Katherine Coleman became once born in White Sulphur Springs, W.Va., then a town of about 800, on Aug. 26, 1918. Her mother became once a aged instructor. She credited her proclivity for mathematics to her father, a farmer who had worked within the fade enterprise and would possibly well per chance like a flash calculate the will of boards a tree would possibly well per chance gather.

By 10, Katherine had executed your whole coursework supplied at her town’s two-room schoolhouse. Joined by her mother and her three older siblings, she moved to Institute, a suburb of the instruct capital, to help the laboratory college of West Virginia Inform School whereas her father remained at home to make stronger the household.

Mrs. Johnson went on to search at West Virginia Inform, a historically unlit college, with plans to valuable in French and English and turn into a instructor. A mathematics professor — W.W. Schiefflin Claytor, broadly reported to be the third African American to receive a doctorate in math — persuaded her to interchange fields.

Mrs. Johnson later recalled his announcing: “You’d manufacture a merely analysis mathematician, and I’m going to stare that you just’re ready.” She had never heard of the win 22 situation sooner than. “I mentioned, ‘The effect will I gather a job?��� And he mentioned, ‘That will probably be your tell.’ ”

After graduating in 1937, at 18, she taught at a segregated main college in Marion, Va., a town come the North Carolina border.

Three years later, she became once one of three unlit college students selected to integrate West Virginia University’s graduate functions. She dropped out of her master’s in mathematics program after one semester to originate a household along with her husband, James Goble, a chemistry instructor. She later returned to instructing, in West Virginia, sooner than a brother-in-regulations instructed she observe for a computer win 22 situation at Langley.

Goble died of cancer in 1956, and three years later Mrs. Johnson married James Johnson, an Navy artillery officer. He died in 2019.

Mrs. Johnson’s demise became once confirmed by lawyer and household handbook Donyale Y.H. Reavis, who mentioned she died at home in Newport News, Va., however failed to quote a particular reason.

Survivors include two daughters from her first marriage, Joylette Hylick of Mount Laurel, N.J., and Katherine Moore of Greensboro, N.C.; six grandchildren; and 11 sizable-grandchildren. Her daughter Constance Garcia died in 2010.

Mrs. Johnson became once invited to circulation to Houston within the mid-1960s to wait on set what's now the Lyndon B. Johnson Condo Middle, however she declined the supply to help her household’s ties to the Hampton neighborhood, Shetterly mentioned.

At Langley, where she retired in 1986, she performed calculations that sure the enlighten 2nd at which the Apollo lunar lander would possibly well per chance leave the moon’s ground to attain to the allege module, which remained in orbit high above. She also contributed to NASA’s effect shuttle and Earth satellite tv for computer functions.

After the launch of “Hidden Figures,” Mrs. Johnson performed down the significance of her impartial within the early years of the effect program. “There’s nothing to it — I became once merely doing my job,” she instructed The Washington Post in 2017.

“They wished knowledge, and I had it, and it didn’t topic that I came across it,” she added. “At the time, it became once merely a inquire of and an answer.”

The drill campaign focuses on the Refractory Zone. An independent technical report in accordance with National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, prepared by B. Turcotte and G. Servelle of InnovExplo Inc. from Val-d’Or, Québec, and O. Peters, of AGP Mining Inc., dated March 24, 2016, was filed for the Project’s Graphene-Battery Zone. The report presented a mineral resource estimate of 18.4 M Tonnes at a grade of 3.19% carbon flake graphite (“Cg”) in the Indicated category and 16.7 M Tonnes at 3.75% Cg in the Inferred category using a cut-off of 1.5% Cg. The Project also includes several other untested anomalies.

The drill hole intercept is approximately 450 m SE from high grade intercepts drilled in 2017: 7.74% Cg over 135.6 m including 16.81% Cg over 44.1 m from LL-16- 01, and 14.56% Cg over 110.8 m from LL-16-03. Both holes are located at the Refractory Zone.

On the basis of the available geophysical and 2016 drilling data, the strike length of the mineralization is estimated at 900 m in the NW-SE direction and is open in both directions. A detailed interpretation of the results will be carried out to better estimate the thickness and strike length of the mineralized zone.

The Project consists of contiguous claim blocks totaling 29 km2 situated approximately 53 km E of Imerys Carbon and Graphite, formerly known as the Timcal graphite mine, North America’s only operating graphite mine, and located 117 km northwest of Montreal.

The 2019 exploration program is managed by Consul-Teck Exploration of Val-d’Or, Quebec, who designed the drilling campaign, supervised the program and logged and sampled the core.

Quality Assurance/Quality Control

Consul-Teck Exploration implemented QA/QC procedures to ensure best practices in sampling and analysis of the core samples. The drill core was logged and then split, with one half sent for assay and the other retained in the core box as a witness sample. Duplicates and blanks were inserted at a regular interval into the sample stream.

The samples in secure tagged bags were delivered directly to the analytical facility for analysis. In this case, the analytical facility was the ALS Minerals laboratory facility in Val-d’Or, Quebec. The samples are weighed and identified prior to sample preparation. The samples are crushed to 70% minus 2 mm, then separated and pulverized to 85% passing 75µm. All samples are analyzed for Carbon Graphite using the C-IR18 method.

Fresh Ideas for Travel in Pinnacles National Park by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: While walking around the Chaparral Trailhead Parking area with a view looking to the east-southeast to the High Peaks with its eroded rock formations and volcanic leftovers. This is in Pinnacles National Park. With this image, I took advantage of some high ground I was located on and captured a look across some wild grasses and sage brushes. With that angled look, I brought the High Peaks up into the image and had only a little portion of blue skies above to be a backdrop for the setting.

New Pacific Reports First Results from 2019 Drill Program at Silver Sand, Bolivia – Continuing intersecting wide silver mineralization near surface including 169 g/t silver over 144.2m

Snippet: 

The 2019 drilling program at Silver Sand commenced in late April and is expected continue throughout rest of the year. These first eight holes were part of the infill drilling program to bring drill hole density to approximately 25 metre by 25 metre spacing and to produce a mineral resource estimate in accordance with NI 43-101 at the end of 2019. These holes were approximately oriented at azimuths of 60 degrees and dips of -45 degrees. These first eight infill holes have intercepted significant silver mineralization similar to those reported from the 2018 drilling program, and adequately confirms the continuity of mineralization within the drilled extents.

The Third Web #16 - Urbit, Your New Server

The range of third-web platforms in development today is greater than ever. From data-centric blockchain based approaches to agent-centric designs like Secure Scuttlebut, the potential futures of the third web are rapidly expanding. Today we look at another approach with the Urbit platform. Like Secure Scuttlebutt, Urbit is agent centric. It is a deterministic operating system designed to be the filter between a user and the online services they use. I last covered Urbit in 2016 and the project is now nearing public launch. Galen Wolf-Pauly explains.What is Urbit?A personal ServerA secure computer that you actually ownStores an event log of everything that has ever happened to itThat's designed to live on any cloud serverBut be controlled by a private key that you actually ownYour Urbit is meant to replace all of the consumer cloud software that you already useHow can it possibly be better than all of the expensive software that has already been created?The basic thesis is that everything we use today runs on top of a unix of some kind.The reason we wound up in this centralised world of cloud-based software is that Unix is too complicated.Because the Unix is complicated, complicated layers between Unix and the application are needed.The Urbit solution is to rip all of that out and create a single, extremely simple, complex system.Urbit is a virtual machine, programming language, and operating system in 30,000 lines of code.For comparison, Wordpress, an application that runs on Unix is 500,000 lines of codeTechnical simplicity should turn into user interface simplicity.Additionally, by hosting your Urbit in the cloud you no longer have a middleman serving you applications, Instead you only need them to host your virtual computer. What does an Urbit future look like?A single platform allows tighter integration of, for example, productivity software like Git & Asana.As a designer, Galen looks forward to interface standardisation, -having messaging, documenting, code collaboration, task management and other consumer software working seamlessly as one system.Rather than interfaces built for many people.Do we need a new back end for a new front end? Hasn't Wechat done this?Today we use many services that have unified UIsGoogle has both email and documents but do you really trust Google to have total control and visibility into your use of those services?What if Google goes away?Being able to run a server myself that I trust will be around a long time and is secure to me makes me feel alot better. [Platform Risk]Wechat is a really great achievementApps are more like modulesBut you have given total power to a single companyThe decentralised Wechat pitch has gotten tired but Urbit is very much targeting that problem.The future of cloud computing does look like that but makes no compromises in privacy or durability.So is your vision as a designer that an individual defines their interface standard and that the applications automatically conform to that individual standard?Yes, instead of going to facebook, twitter, Google Docs, etc. and having them deliver the interface to me it is much more like installing a desktop application.In a desktop application scenario most applications make use of common interface elements because it makes more sense to the userYour computing environment should feel like your physical environment. Individuals have different preferences with regard to furnishing and it is relatively easy to pick from different modules of furniture or colours of walls. These are decisions of the size that we are comfortable making. Contrast this to computing interfaces which are like a prefab trailer, or hotel room that you wind up living in the whole time but have no power to customise, only choose between. The alternative is being a Linux SysAdmin who builds their entire interface home themselves. That tradeoff is as unfair and unrealistic as everyone physically building their own homes from scratch.To clarify, it is people working on Urbit full time who would be the ones building interfaces but those interfaces would be able to be applied to all of the applications that run on Urbit, and tweaks to those interfaces would affect all apps.Moving on from the interface. What is the advantage over existing cloud platforms? How is it possible to build something from scratch that is easier to use than the systems that have been developed by hundreds of thousands of people over the course of 30 years?Firstly, Urbit runs on Unix, the internet, TCP/IP, UDP We take the existing infrastructure and build a new layer on top.We are antagonistic toward the existing web stackUrbit is designed for an individual to useYou can think of Urbit as a personal blockchain or a 100 year computer - something that has never existed.Who is the target user?The gold standard is 'œWould I recommend this to my Mom?'More than just the technical community is interested in online privacy and security.The question is more like 'œWould I send an Urbit to my cousin?'This year your friend will be able to acquire an Urbit address and use it to chat with others and make the decision for themselves.Urbit is most interesting to somewhat technical people who are interested in unusual system software. It is also populated by small interesting micro-communitiesThe Urbit testnet has been live since 2013Does Urbit have enterprise applications?In the world of agriculture you cannot customise the software that runs in the machinery commonly available.You can't customise the software inside a Nest IoT device. You cant even connect it to a different server.Urbit operates on it's own network of devices.It is ideal for industrial IoT and can communicate on a local network.Currently data from these devices is collected and stored by third parties who represent a risk of abuse or leaks. Let's take a look at how it works, the networking and application stack.3 main components:Azimuth - the identity system. A series of Ethereum contracts. An Azimuth point is like a combination between a domain name, an email address and an IP address. There is a finite address space and each address is represented as a pronounceable phrase. In total there are ~4 billion user addresses. These addresses are divided hierarchically and have different uses in mind: 264 'œMoons' (devices), 232 'œPlanets' (user addresses), 216 'œStars' (routing nodes), 28 'œGalaxies' (protocol governors).Arvo - the Urbit OS. Very clean separation from external identity system on Ethereum, connected by a common key pair. The Arvo OS has a file system, a system for building applications, a webserver, a networking protocol which is routed over UDP, a vault for secrets or keychain, and a build system. These aree individual kernel modules that provide things from the web stack. A core kernel manages the interactions between these components. The OS is written in a custom language called Hoon which compiles to the Urbit assembly language called Nock. The result is a single deterministic function that Urbit executes every time it gets an event.Aegean?Who makes money from Urbit?Employees of the Tlon company that is developing Urbit, in the form of wages.Holders of Azimuth address space.Providers of Urbit hosting & application development services Recently, Curtis Yarvin, the founder of the Urbit project, left. Is it true that he gave all of his address space to Tlon?NoCurtis Yarvin signed over the the Galaxy addresses he held to Tlon. He retained the control of the stars.Future & FearsThe biggest threat to Urbit is success. If it begins to succeed as an alternative computing model, its possible that large players will attempt to build products that solve the same problems.Urbit's goal is not to be a single network, but rather a network of networks.It takes granular tools to map the way people interact in a computing environment and Urbit aims to make the many different permutations of human communication representable. from Money 101 https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/the-third-web-16-urbit-your-new-server via http://www.rssmix.com/

Naknek Lake and Distant Mountain Peaks of Mount Katolinat and Mount La Gorce (Katmai National Park & Preserve) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: I captured this image at the Lower River Platform with a view looking to the East. The view is across the waters of Naknek Lake with the peaks of Mount Katolinat and Mount La Gorce off in the distance. By pulling back on the focal length and angling my Nikon SLR camera slightly downward, I felt I was able to bring out a more sweeping view across this landscape in Katmai National Park.

Some Have an Arrogant Loneliness (Denali National Park & Preserve) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: Some Have an Arrogant Loneliness Caught up in whatever ailment or emotions strikes All they have to do is look around For the trees and mountains are friends And provide entertainment and comfort for the lonely. Another work of short poetry or prose to complement the image captured one late afternoon in Denali National Park & Preserve while enjoying sights on the bus ride out to North Face Lodge. With this image, I pulled back on the focal length to capture more of the grandeur present as I looked across this glacial valley and then to some distance ridgelines and snow packed mountains. While I was on a bus at a few second stop, my thinking with this image was to let the viewer of this image seemingly stand in wide eye amazement; hence pulling back on the focal length. I did some initial post-processing work making adjustments to contrast, brightness and saturation while playing around as I learned how to work with DxO PhotoLab 3 that I’d recently purchased after moving away from Capture NX2. I finally cropped a portion of the hazy skies above as I felt the negative space didn’t add to the image and it also added to a more panoramic setting.
