Grading and testing are very strict and formal in Haiti; it is much more difficult to attain a grade of B (or its equivalent) in Haiti than it is in the United States. Therefore, Haitian students may tend to attach great importance to grades and tests, even quizzes. The notion that what one learns is more important than the grade one earns will be very confusing to a Haitian student.

A Lone StrikerThe swinging mill bell changed its rate To tolling like the count of fate, And though at that the tardy ran, One failed to make the closing gate. There was a law of God or man That on the one who came too late The gate for half an hour be locked, His time be lost, his pittance docked. He stood rebuked and unemployed. The straining mill began to shake, The mill, though many, many eyed, Had eyes inscrutably opaque; So that he couldn't look inside To see if some forlorn machine Was standing idle for his sake. (He couldn't hope its heart would break.) And yet he thought he saw the scene: The air was full of dust of wool. A thousand yarns were under pull, But pull so slow, with such a twist, All day from spool to lesser spool, It seldom overtaxed their strength; They safely grew in slender lenght. And if one broke by any chance, The spinner saw it at a glance. The spinner still was there to spin. THat's where the human still came in. Her deft hand showed with finger rings Among the harp-like spread of strings. She caught the pieces end to end And, with a touch that never missed, Not so much tied as made them blend. Man's ingenuity was good. He saw it plainly where he stood, Yet found it easy to resist. He knew another place, a wood, And in it, tall as trees, were cliffs; And if he stood on one of these, 'Twoud be among the tops of trees, Their upper brancjes round him wreathing, Their breathing mingled with his breathing. If——if he stood! Enough of ifs! He knew a path that wanted walking; He knew a spring that wanted drinking; A though that wanted further thinking; A love that wanted re-renewing. Nor was this just a way of talking TO save him the expense of doing. With him it boded action, deed. The factory was very fine; He wished it all the modern speed. Yet, after all, 'twas not divine, That is to say, 'twas not a church. He never would assume that he'd Be any institution's need. But he said then and still would say If there should ever come a day When industry seemed like to die Because he left it in the lurch, Or even merely seemed to pine For want of his approval, why, Come get him——they knew where to search.

Nelle Harper Lee (born April 28, 1926) is an American author best known for her 1960 Pulitzer Prize winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird, which deals with the issues of racism that were observed by the author as a child in her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama. Despite being Lee's only published book, it led to Lee being awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom of the United States for her contribution to literature in 2007.[1] Lee has also been the recipient of numerous honorary degrees, but has always declined to make a speech.

Can't believe she's still alive.....and she actually got introduced to the president. -
Harper Lee's birthday and info

After completing To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee accompanied Capote to Holcomb, Kansas, to assist him in researching what they thought would be an article on a small town's response to the murder of a farmer and his family. Capote expanded the material into his best-selling book, In Cold Blood (1966).
-
Lee showed her feistiness in her 1966 letter to the editor in response to the attempts of a Richmond, Virginia area school board to ban To Kill a Mockingbird as "immoral literature": “ Recently I have received echoes down this way of the Hanover County School Board's activities, and what I've heard makes me wonder if any of its members can read. Surely it is plain to the simplest intelligence that “To Kill a Mockingbird” spells out in words of seldom more than two syllables a code of honor and conduct, Christian in its ethic, that is the heritage of all Southerners. To hear that the novel is "immoral" has made me count the years between now and 1984, for I have yet to come across a better example of doublethink. I feel, however, that the problem is one of illiteracy, not Marxism. Therefore I enclose a small contribution to the Beadle Bumble Fund that I hope will be used to enroll the Hanover County School Board in any first grade of its choice.[7]

Boeing's Metal Monoplanes of the 1930s: Aviation History: Wings Over Kansas - 0 views
-
By the end of the 1920s, biplanes were becoming obsolete and manufacturers turned to building all-metal monoplanes. Boeing Aircraft led this technological revolution with welded steel tubing for fuselage structure. This soon became standard in the industry until it was replaced by monocoque sheet metal structures in the mid-1930s.
-
The major drawback of the Monomail was that its design was too advanced for the engines and propellers that were available. The airplane required a low-pitch propeller for takeoff and climb and a high-pitch propeller to cruise. By the time the variable-pitch propeller and more powerful engines were available, newer, multiengine planes were replacing it.
-
United Air Lines, a member of the holding company United Airlines and Technology Corporation (UATC), purchased 60 of the planes and soon outdistanced all of its competitors.

The straight chemise - 1 views
-
In the 1930s, the straight chemise, so popular throughout the Twenties, was belted once again, and lengthened. It began to hug the body and ripple with its movements. Dresses were cut on the bias so that they clung to and moved with the body. These designs required very lightweight fabrics such as crepes and lighter satins-very elegant fabrics indeed.

When we think of the 1930s, the images of the Great Depression leave the impression that nothing good happened because the entire country was focused simply on survival. But in the area of automobile development, car designs of the 1930s developed some of the most significant new features for automobiles despite economic hard times. As is demonstrated by the popularity of vintage 1930s cars, some of the automobile designs of this period in history were exceptionally artistic and sophisticated. It is phenomenal that such forward movement in the 1930s car industry occurred in light of how few in this era were privileged enough to be able to buy any kind of transportation at all, much less a new model that had ground breaking design innovation as part of its feature package.
-
The result was that 1930s cars not only saw a leap forward in technical design but the styles that were created for this era of car manufacturing were distinctive and imaginative. At the beginning of the 1930s cars almost universally were made to a four square design that was nothing if not boring. But as the decade unfolded, some unique designs that we still identify with classic 1930s cars began to become popular.

The 1930s were an important time for cars in the United States with the introduction of four-wheel hydraulic brakes, radio and heaters. Models began being characterized as more aerodynamic and taking on a smoother shape. This decade of car ingenuity also marked the beginning of V-8, the V-12, and the V-16 engines. Despite the depression of the 1930s and the decline of auto purchases, there were a few models of car that were quite popular.

The Development of 1930s Cars - 0 views

At the beginning of the Thirties the American 1930s cars had also foot boards, sunshades on the windscreen of the car, separate drum formed headlights and also rear lights attached to the car by connecting rods. American cars appeared with rounded edges, headlights build within the chassis of the car, but also the driving comfort improved. The radiator grille and shell were titled back slightly, which made the 1930s automobiles looking like more speedier. Affordable security glass was used as windscreens. Low pressure inner tube tires and also windscreen wipers appeared on the American cars during the Thirties mostly as safety measures.

All through the 1930s, GM engineers and designers made continual improvements in 1930's cars' frames, bodies, engines, and transmissions. In 1933, GM added no-draft ventilation to all its cars and developed independent front-wheel suspension. In 1936, Knee-Action suspension made Chevrolets an even smoother ride. All 1937 GM automobiles of the 1930s makes featured an all-steel body and optional windshield defrosters. In 1938, a car radio was introduced as an option on Buicks, and GM’s Harley Earl designed a historic one-off: the Buick Y-Job.
-
he greatest impact of the streamlined designs was in fact that the 1930's cars became eye catchers. Automobiles of the 1930s became to look like art. Most cars were build on a simple, high, carriage-like chassis rolling on wood-spoke wheels and solid tires. From 1932 on, American cars changed.

While by the 1930s, diesel engines were revolutionising rail transport, and giving birth to a burgeoning flight industry, on the sea and on rivers, steam was still king. Unlike with trains and aircraft, large ships remained in service for decades, meaning that many of the ships that transported passengers of the 1930s were built as early as the 1850s, and some ships built in the 1930s remain in service today. The steam turbine, first turned to use in seagoing vessels in 1897, was able to produce far more power than a traditional reciprocating steam engine. By the 1930s, all large ships were being built with such engines, allowing unprecedented speeds. For ships built in the thirties, the most popular fuel for running the boilers was no longer coal, but fuel oil. This meant that modern ships could run with a much smaller crew than earlier vessels. A typical small passenger steamer would have no more than a dozen crewmen, including a few stewards and cooks for the care of passengers. Larger vessels of course could have hundreds of crewmen (The Queen Mary, launched in 1936, had over a thousand), and were almost like floating towns, the crew forming their own community below decks.

lthough not the only passenger airplane. Boeing had introduced its Model 80 in 1928, which also was designed as a passenger transport.
-
The Ford's most common variant, the 5AT, introduced in 1928, accommodated 13 passengers in its earliest model and was modified to seat up to 17. With no air conditioning and little heating, the plane was hot in summer and cold in winter, and with no circulation system, its environment was made even more unpleasant by the smell of hot oil and metal, leather seats, and disinfectant used to clean up after airsick passengers.
-
The Boeing Model 80 had a higher 14,000-foot (4,267-meter) ceiling but was still subject to turbulence.
