NACA And NASA, Part II
Armstrong later said he "would hope that history would grant me leeway for dropping the syllable and understand that it was certainly intended, even if it was not said - although it might actually have been". Ford and James R. Hansen, Armstrong's authorized biographer, presented these findings to Armstrong and NASA representatives, who conducted their own analysis. The article by Ford, however, is published on Ford's own web site rather than in a peer-reviewed scientific journal, and linguists David Beaver and Mark Liberman at Language Log were skeptical of Ford's claims. Armstrong has expressed his preference that written quotations include the "a" in parentheses. When Armstrong made his proclamation, Voice of America was rebroadcast live via the BBC and many other stations worldwide. The estimated global audience at that moment was 450 million listeners, out of a then estimated world population of 3.631 billion people.

Here's the snowfall inside the barn. It looks worse than it is. A few seconds with a broom will dispose of this later, once all the wind has dropped and the snowfall has stopped. We won't plow or shovel until late this afternoon or even tomorrow morning. It isn't worth it. The Land Rover found itself in a small snow-free zone, the result of some kind of self-induced vortex. We used this spot for a partial trail, to help us in our trek to the barn, but there was a pretty good drift in front we had to wade through first. The dogs were well over nose-level. They actually didn't want to leave the house this morning, and had to be coaxed out. Actually, that's a bit wimpy for farm dogs, isn't it? Aimee must have spoiled them. It couldn't possibly have been anything to do with me. Better hunker down some more, and perhaps save that special experience for when we really need it. The power has flickered on and off a few times, rebooting the DSL modem and interfering with my newspaper-reading this morning, but so far it hasn't stayed off. Which is a good thing.
When thinking long term about Alphabet, many investors look at its Other Bets portfolio, which includes its "moonshot" wagers on things like self-driving cars or a cure for aging. 100 billion of revenue on an annual basis. The core search business is the Yellow Pages of the modern era, a cash cow that can and will generate reliable cash flows from advertisements placed within organic search results. Google's ancillary products like GMail, Android, and Chrome help the company learn more about its users, showing them the most valuable advertisements. Not only does Google have the best search results; its treasure trove of data on its users enables it to earn more on every click than a competitor could. The search business may be better insulated from competition than any other business on the planet. Jeremy Bowman (Disney): The last four years have been frustrating for Disney investors. The stock has essentially gone nowhere as worries about cord-cutting and declining subscribers at its cash cow ESPN have stymied the stock.
He offered her a car loaner, very nice, but she declined as it wasn't needed. Eric gave her an estimate for the cost and the time needed to service. We had the car back by 4pm, all servicing completed, the car washed and cleaned, in time, as promised. Overall, the experience was the best, deserving a maximum rating at this time. Thank you Eric and the servicing crew for a great experience! This is a shout out to Zoran Bosiljkic ! Greats person all around , nice , polite , courteous & not pushy. Best salesman we have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. No back & forth & no pulling teeth. Transaction was quick & smooth ! Thank you Jaguar Land Rover of Bellevue & Zoran Bosiljkic Yet another disappointment. Went in yesterday for a replacement on 2 door seals which is under warranty. Also to reapply crystal fusion to windshield.
