Radar Bomb Scoring train US Air Force RBS Express
RBS Express railroad trains were 3 mobile United States Air Force radar stations for 1CEVG Radar Bomb Scoring (RBS) of Strategic Air Command bomber crews beginning in March 1961. Electronic equipment included the MSQ-39, TLQ-11, MPS-9, and the IFF/SIF for the MSQ-39 along with support railcars (work train), and the trains were temporarily used at various rail sites (e.g., sidings) with the radar attennas emplaced using hoists built onto flatcars. Pulled by a contracted locomotive that left the train at the site (e.g., for 45 days), and a North American B-25 Mitchell was used for calibration of the radar station.
Each train used existing U.S. Army stock from Ogden General Depot, and each train's 21 cars (17 support and 4 radar cars) included a generator car, two box cars (one for radar equipment maintenance, and one for support maintenance) [a] dining car, two day-room cars, supply cars, admin car, and 4 Pullman sleepers. Depot maintenance for the trains was at the Tooele Army Depot southwest of Salt Lake City (Army Rail Shops). Major Eugene R. Butler was the 1st commander of the First RBS Express, and each 1CEVG squadron's detachments manned a train[2] (after the 1965 discontinuation of RBS squadrons, RBS detachments continued operating trains.) Butler's command had 60 11th RBS airmen: 15 from the Joplin Bomb Plot and others from the bomb plots at La Junta CO, Bismarck ND, Minneapolis MN, Salt Lake City UT, St Louis MO, and Little Rock AR.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

SUMMARY
=======
Lynching is the practice of murder by a group by extrajudicial action. Lynchings in the United States rose in number after the American Civil War in the late 1800s, following the emancipation of slaves; they declined in the 1920s but have continued to take place into the 21st century. Most lynchings were of African-American men in the South, but women were also lynched, and white lynchings of blacks occurred in Midwestern and border states, especially during the 20th-century Great Migration of blacks out of the South. The purpose was to enforce white supremacy and intimidate blacks by racial terrorism. On a per capita basis lynchings were also common in California and the Old West, especially of Latinos, although they represented less than 10% of the national total. Native Americans and Asian Americans were also lynched. Other ethnicities (white, Finnish-American, Jewish, Irish, Italian-American) were occasionally lynched.
The stereotype of a lynching is a hanging, because hangings are what crowds of people saw, and are also easy to photograph. Some hangings were professionally photographed and sold as postcards, which were popular souvenirs in some parts of the U.S. Victims were also killed by mobs in a variety of other ways: shot repeatedly, burned alive, forced to jump off a bridge, dragged behind cars, and the like. Sometimes they were tortured as well, with body parts sometimes removed and sold as souvenirs. Occasionally lynchings were not fatal (see Lynching survivors in the United States). A mock lynching, putting the rope around the neck of someone suspected of concealing information, might be used to compel confessions.According to the Tuskegee Institute, 4,743 people were lynched between 1882 and 1968 in the United States, including 3,446 African Americans and 1,297 whites. More than 73 percent of lynchings in the post-Civil War period occurred in the Southern states. According to the Equal Justice Initiative, 4,084 African-Americans were lynched between 1877 and 1950 in the South.Lynchings were most frequent from 1890 to the 1920s, with a peak in 1892. Lynchings were often large mob actions, attended by hundreds or thousands of watchers, sometimes announced in advance in newspapers and in one instance with a special train. However, in the later 20th century lynchings became more secretive, and were conducted by smaller groups of people.
According to Michael Pfeifer, the prevalence of lynching in postbellum America reflects lack of confidence in the due process judicial system. He links the decline in lynching in the early twentieth century with the advent of the modern death penalty: legislators renovated the death penalty...out of direct concern for the alternative of mob violence. He also cites the modern, racialized excesses of u ...

Joseph Smith Man and Seer The Book of Mormon Lecture 02 by Hyrum Andrus
Hyrum L Andrus
All rights reserved August 10-12, 1989
Lecture – 2 JOSEPH SMITH
I have always liked the words of Brigham Young, who said, I feel like shouting 'Hallelujah' all day long when I think that I ever knew Joseph Smith, the Mormon Prophet! [Journal of Discourses 3:51] There is also the inspired and accurate statement of evaluation by John Taylor, which has been placed in the Doctrine and Covenants, in which he said, Joseph Smith the Prophet and Seer of the Lord has done more, save Jesus only, for the salvation of men in this world than any other man that ever lived in it. [D&C 135:3]
The Prophet Joseph stands at the head of the dispensation of the fulness of times, the dispensation into which all other dispensations must finally be gathered in order to make the fulness of times, or the fulness of dispensations, and in order to give the righteous of all ages a fulness of glory in the eternal world. When this is accomplished, then, as the Lord says in Section 29:30, the last shall be first. The Prophet Joseph Smith will stand in proper status as he who has not only done most for the salvation of men on this earth, with the exception of Christ only, but he will stand next to Christ in the eternal worlds in relation to the Lord's work.
The Prophet Joseph Smith was seen and written about by many, many people. One of the most sophisticated observers was Josiah Quincy of the famous Quincy family. Josiah later became Mayor of Boston. He and Charles Francis Adams visited the Prophet Joseph Smith in May of 1844, just a little over a month prior to the martyrdom. Quincy later wrote a book called, Figures of the Past, and the last chapter in it is called, Joseph Smith at Nauvoo. He begins that chapter with these words:
It is by no means improbable that some future textbook for the use of generations yet unborn will contain a question something like this: What historical American of the 19th century has exerted the most powerful influence upon the destinies of his countrymen? And it is by no means impossible that the answer to that interrogatory may be thus written: Joseph Smith the Mormon Prophet. And the reply, as absurd as it doubtless seems to most men now living, may be an obvious commonplace to their descendants. History deals in such surprises and paradoxes quite as startling as this. The man who established a religion in this age of free debate, who was and is today accepted by hundreds of thousands as a direct emissary from the Most High, such a rare human being is not to be disposed of by pelting his memory with unsavory epithets. Fanatic, imposter, charlatan, he may have been, but these hard names furnish no solution to the problem he presents us. Fanatics and impostors are living and dying every day, and their memory is buried with them. But the wonderful influence which this founder of a religion exerted and still exerts, throws him into relief before us, not as a rogue to be incriminated but as a phenomenon to be explained.
Then he goes on and talks about the Prophet. In the course of his article, he describes him. A fine looking man is what the passerby would instinctively have murmured upon meeting this remarkable individual who has fashioned the mould which was to shape the feelings of so many thousands of his fellow-mortals. But Joseph Smith was more than this. And then he talks about great men with whom he has rubbed shoulders, those who exuded charisma, personality, character, all those things that make a human being great. He identifies a gentleman by the name of Elisha R. Potter of Rhode Island, and then he comments as follows. Of all men I've ever met, these two, Potter and the Prophet Joseph Smith, seem best endowed with that kingly faculty which directs by intrinsic right the lives and the interests of other people.
An old gentleman who joined the Church in the early days of the Church and later settled in Logan, Utah, was interviewed one day by a reporter who asked him if he knew Joseph Smith. He said, Did I know the Prophet Joseph? Well, I should think I did. I was one of his hired men for several years, and that simply means that I was a member of his family. Well, what sort of man was he, anyway? asked the inquirer. The old veteran looked keenly at his inquirer, and said, He was the biggest-hearted, bravest, most whole-souled man I ever knew. That's what he was. If ever I loved a man, it was Joseph Smith. Outside of all his priestly connections, he was an admirable man, a good man. I tell you, at least that's the way I regarded him. He was a lover of a good horse, and there wasn't any better horses around that country than Old Charley and Joe Duncan, the two animals he rode. And there wasn't many better horsemen, either, about them parts than the Prophet. Joe Duncan was a chestnut sorrel and was a beauty, … Get the full transcription from hyrumandrus.com!
