Ein ISS Schulkontakt zwischen Christopher J. Cassidy, KF5KDR an Bord der ISS und Schülern aus Lewiston, Maine USA.
Bei diesem Event konnte ich von Anfang bis zur Verabschiedung alles sehr gut mithören.
In den letzten Minuten habe ich wahrscheinlich die Reflexionen von den Bergen empfangen, den die ISS war zu der Zeit eigentlich wesentlich weiter Ost-Westlich aber in der Rechtung war das Rausch/Signal Verhältnis schlechter alt in die falsche Richtung.
Besonderen Dank an:

GOPR1086 Former Slaves in Lewiston
Historical Society Hosts Program on Former Slaves in Lewiston after Civil War
Androscoggin Historical Society will sponsor a program “From Slavery to
Lewiston,” by Candace Kanes, about the lives of former slaves and how they came to live
in Lewiston. The talk takes place on Tuesday, February 28, at 7 p.m. at the Society’s
Davis-Wagg Museum on the third floor of the County Building.
On April 6, 1866, about a dozen former slaves arrived in Lewiston through the
auspices of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen, and Abandoned Lands, which worked to
find permanent employment for those freed from bondage by the Civil War. They were
the first black residents of Lewiston.
For several years, Candace Kanes, an independent historian and museum
consultant, has been researching former slaves who came to Maine following the 1863
Emancipation Proclamation.
A former newspaper reporter and editor in Ohio and Maine, Kanes holds a
doctorate in American history from the University of New Hampshire. She has taught
history and women’s studies at Bates College, Lewiston-Auburn College, the University
of Southern Maine, the University of New England, and, for many years, at the Maine
College of Art. She was the curator and historian of the Maine Memory Network and
Maine Historical Society for 12 years, where she also curated a number of museum
exhibits.
Her talk will also include information about the Freedmen’s Bureau, its
commissioner, Brig. Gen. Oliver Otis Howard of Leeds, and some of the other former
slaves who were resettled in Maine.
Admission for this program is free, although donations are gratefully accepted.

Inside the Artist's Studio: Liselot van der Heijden
Born in the Netherlands, lives and works in New York City and Haarlem (NL). Her studio is located at The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts in midtown Manhattan.
Liselot van der Heijden produces installations, videos, objects and photographs. Recurring themes in van der Heijden's works are control and power of the gaze, the tendency to objectify the other and nature as a cultural/political idea and anthropomorphic projection. Her work suggests that representations of nature reveal more about cultural, ideological, political and social frameworks, than actual nature.
Over the past decade, van der Heijden has exhibited at various institutions throughout Europe and the United States. Her work was shown at LOOP, Barcelona, Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, Musée d'art Moderne et Contemporain de Strasbourg and Centre Contemporain d'Istres, France, Videonale 8, Bonn, Smart Project Space, Amsterdam, and Centre de Cultura Contemporania de Barcelona. In the United States, venues include Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum, Santa Barbara, CA, the Bates Museum of Art, Lewiston, Maine, Mason Gross Galleries, Rutgers University, New Brunswick, NJ, Danforth Museum, Framingham, MA, 40000, Chicago, Quotidian Gallery, San Francisco and the Smithsonian Institution, Washington DC. In New York City, she has shown works at the New Museum, the Queens Museum, the Brooklyn Museum, Lincoln Center, LMAK Projects, Luxe Gallery, Schroeder Romero, Exit Art, Artist Space, White Box, Momenta Art and the Dumbo Arts Festival, among other venues.
Liselot van der Heijden received a fellowship from the Civitella Ranieri Foundation and numerous residencies from the Experimental Television Center. She has a BFA from the Cooper Union and a MFA from Hunter College. Van der Heijden has lectured on her work in venues such as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, New York University, The School of Visual Art, and Pace University in New York. From 1999 until 2005, she taught at the Cooper Union and Pratt Institute. In September 2005, she joined the faculty of The College of New Jersey.

Sherbrooke ARISS Contact only Youtube Version
Three schools in a single ARISS contact

Date : 29 / 10 / 2009
Author : Jim Linton - VK3PC
A small school at Sassafras about 40km east of Melbourne is the latest to have an amateur radio contact with a crew member on the International Space Station (ISS) and in doing so achieved a notable first for this activity.
A total of 11 students from Sherbrooke Community School put questions to Astronaut Robert Thirsk, but in a spirit of friendship shared their experience with two other schools. The ARISS contact on Wednesday 28 October also included questions from Sherbrookes sister schools - the Jiaolun Middle School in China and the Early Learning Centre at Thimphu in Bhutan.
Seven of the Sherbrooke students involved are radio amateurs, each holding an Australian Foundation Licence (Christopher VK3FLAT, Emma VK3FERP, Sam VK3FSAM, James VK3FJAM, Oscar VK3FOSC, Callum VK3FSDP and Monique VK3FWPZ). They used their personal callsigns during the contact and will qualify for a personal QSL card when the crew returns to earth. ARISS Coordinator, Tony Hutchison VK5ZAI who helped facilitate the contact said the involvement of students who have their own amateur licence in the ARISS proram is rare. It previously occurred in 2002 with girls at the Harrogate Ladies College in the UK. had their ARISS contact.
The Sherbooke school event unfolded before an audience of parents and friends, plus the Local Member of Parliament, and State Minister for Sport, Recreation and Youth Affairs, James Merlino. With Ivy VK3IVY moderating the contract, as acquisition of the NA1SS signal occurred on Wednesday 28 October at 0713 UTC, the audience listened intently as Christopher VK3FLAT asked about static electricity and whether it was a problem when a supply vessel docked with the space station.
Static electricity is not so much a problem during docking, but it is something the astronauts are mindful of particularly during extra-vehicular activity outside the space station. Sam VK3FSAM asked on behalf one of Sherbrookes sister schools, what astronauts missed most while on the space station, and Thirsk replied that is was his family, not being able to be with them while six months in space. Callum VK3FSDP inquired, again for a sister school, whether the astronauts could see snow on the Himalayas.
The reply was yes, on those mountains and elsewhere on earth. Astronaut Robert Thirsk who has the Canadian callsign VA3CSA conceded that the busy work schedule and long days on the space station means he has not found a lot of time to use amateur radio or contacts other than with schools through the ARISS program.
Among other questions it was found that the ISS uses mainly fluorescent lighting but is undergoing a transition to more LED lights, the crew see a circle around the earth during daylight and a black sky when looking deep into space. The ISS orbits the earth once every 90 minutes, 16 times in daylight and 16 in darkness.
The contact was made possible through the W6SRJ telebridge at Santa Rosa, California, and lasted just over nine minutes. School Principal, Robert Shepherd who recently obtained his Foundation Licence callsign VK3FRMS was extremely proud of his students and described it as a really successful communication. You (the students) did it perfectly. Mr Shepherd said the school has been one of the most successful in generating new radio amateurs, some 10 students and four teachers.
Congratulations to the founder of radio amateur at the school, teacher Ed Seeto VK3FEET, Sherbrooke Community Radio Club President Jim McNabb VK3AMN and everyone involved in making this ARISS contact a huge success.

SUMMARY
=======
Robert Francis Kennedy (November 20, 1925 – June 6, 1968) was an American politician and lawyer who served as the 64th United States Attorney General from January 1961 to September 1964, and as a U.S. Senator from New York from January 1965 until his assassination in June 1968. Kennedy, like his brothers John and Edward, was a prominent member of the Democratic Party and has come to be viewed by some historians as an icon of modern American liberalism.Kennedy was born in Brookline, Massachusetts, the seventh child of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. and Rose Kennedy. After serving in the U.S. Naval Reserve as a seaman apprentice from 1944 to 1946, Kennedy returned to Harvard University and graduated in 1948. He received his law degree from the University of Virginia and was admitted to the Massachusetts bar in 1951. He began his career as a lawyer at the Justice Department but later resigned to manage his brother John's successful campaign for the U.S. Senate in 1952. The following year, he worked as an assistant counsel to the Senate committee chaired by Senator Joseph McCarthy. He gained national attention as the chief counsel of the Senate Labor Rackets Committee from 1957 to 1959, where he publicly challenged Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa over the corrupt practices of the union and authored The Enemy Within, a book about corruption in organized labor.
Kennedy resigned from the committee to conduct his brother's campaign in the 1960 presidential election. He was appointed United States Attorney General after the successful election and served as the closest advisor to the President from 1961 to 1963. His tenure is best known for its advocacy for the civil rights movement, the fight against organized crime and the Mafia, and involvement in U.S. foreign policy related to Cuba. After his brother's assassination, he remained in office in the Johnson Administration for several months. He left to run for the United States Senate from New York in 1964 and defeated Republican incumbent Kenneth Keating. In office, Kennedy opposed racial discrimination and U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War. He was an advocate for issues related to human rights and social justice and formed relationships with Martin Luther King Jr. and Cesar Chavez.
In 1968, Kennedy became a leading candidate for the Democratic nomination for the presidency by appealing to poor, African American, Hispanic, Catholic and young voters. His main challenger in the race was Senator Eugene McCarthy. Shortly after winning the California primary around midnight on June 5, 1968, Kennedy was mortally wounded wh ...

SUMMARY
=======
Edmund Sixtus Muskie (March 28, 1914 – March 26, 1996) was an American statesman and political leader who served as the 58th United States Secretary of State under President Jimmy Carter, a United States Senator from Maine from 1959 to 1980, the 64th Governor of Maine from 1955 to 1959, a member of the Maine House of Representatives from 1946 to 1951, and the Democratic Party's candidate for Vice President of the United States in the 1968 election.
Born in Rumford, Maine to Polish parents, Muskie graduated from Bates College in Lewiston, and Cornell University in Ithaca. He worked as a lawyer for two years before serving in the United States Naval Reserve from 1942 to 1945 during World War II. Upon his return, Muskie served in the Maine State Legislature from 1946 to 1951 against heavy Republican opposition. Despite an unsuccessful bid for the mayoralty of Waterville, he was elected the 64th Governor of Maine in an upset victory as its first Roman Catholic in 1954. Although elected as a reform Governor, Muskie split from his mandate; he amended its constitution multiple times to consolidate power, suspended the as Maine goes, so goes the nation doctrine, pressed aggressive economic expansionism and instated environmental provisions. Muskie's actions severed a nearly 100-year Republican stronghold, led to the political insurgency of the Maine Democrats, and pushed Maine into the Golden Age of Capitalism. He used his increased public presence to gain a seat in the United States Senate representing his home state.
His legislative accomplishments during his career as a Senator facilitated a vast expansion of modern liberalism in the United States. He fathered the 1960s environmental movement which culminated in the passage of the Clean Air Act of 1970 and Clean Water Act of 1972—hallmarks of international environmental policy. A supporter of the civil rights movement, Muskie rallied support for the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the creation of Martin Luther King Jr. Day and tapered Richard Nixon's Imperial Presidency by advancing New Federalism. Muskie ran alongside Hubert Humphrey against Nixon in the 1968 presidential election, only to lose by 0.7 percentage points (42.72% vs. 43.42%), one of the narrowest margins in the history of the United States. He would go on to run in the 1972 presidential election where he secured 1.84 million votes in the primaries coming in fourth out of 15 contesters. The release of the controversial Canuck letter derailed his campaign.
After the election, he returned to the Senate where he gave the 1976 State of the Union Response. Muskie served as first chairman of the new Senate Budget Committee from 1975 to 1980 where he established the United States budget process. Upon his retirement from the Senat ...

SUMMARY
=======
Frederick Douglass (born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey; c. February 1818 – February 20, 1895) was an American social reformer, abolitionist, orator, writer, and statesman. After escaping from slavery in Maryland, he became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York, gaining note for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings. In his time, he was described by abolitionists as a living counter-example to slaveholders' arguments that slaves lacked the intellectual capacity to function as independent American citizens. Northerners at the time found it hard to believe that such a great orator had once been a slave.Douglass wrote several autobiographies. He described his experiences as a slave in his 1845 autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, which became a bestseller, and was influential in promoting the cause of abolition, as was his second book, My Bondage and My Freedom (1855). After the Civil War, Douglass remained an active campaigner against slavery and wrote his last autobiography, Life and Times of Frederick Douglass. First published in 1881 and revised in 1892, three years before his death, it covered events during and after the Civil War. Douglass also actively supported women's suffrage, and held several public offices. Without his approval, Douglass became the first African American nominated for Vice President of the United States as the running mate and Vice Presidential nominee of Victoria Woodhull, on the Equal Rights Party ticket.Douglass was a firm believer in the equality of all peoples, whether black, female, Native American, or recent immigrant. He was also a believer in dialogue and in making alliances across racial and ideological divides, and in the liberal values of the U.S. Constitution. When radical abolitionists, under the motto No Union With Slaveholders, criticized Douglass' willingness to dialogue with slave owners, he famously replied: I would unite with anybody to do right and with nobody to do wrong.
Calvin Coolidge
John Calvin Coolidge, Jr. (/ˈkuːlɪdʒ/; July 4, 1872 – January 5, 1933) was the 30th President of the United States (1923–1929). A Republican lawyer from Vermont, Coolidge worked his way up the ladder of Massachusetts state politics, eventually becoming governor of that state. His conduct during the Boston Police Strike of 1919 thrust him into the national spotlight and gave him a reputation as a man of decisive action. Soon after, he was elected as the 29th Vice President in 1920 and succeeded to the Presidency upon the sudden death of Warren G. Harding in 1923. Elected in his own right in 1924, he gained a reputation as a small-government conservative, and also as a man who said very little.
Coolidge restored public confidence in the White House after the scandals of his predecessor's administration, and left office with considerable popularity. As a Coolidge biographer put it, He embodied the spirit and hopes of the middle class, could interpret their longings and express their opinions. That he did represent the genius of the average is the most convincing proof of his strength. Some later criticized Coolidge as part of a general criticism of laissez-faire government. His reputation underwent a renaissance during the Ronald Reagan administration, but the ultimate assessment of his presidency is still divided between those who approve of his reduction of the size of government programs and those who believe the federal government should be more involved in regulating and controlling the economy.
