WIKIPEDIA: In 1950, at the start of the Korean War, von Braun and his team were transferred to Huntsville, Alabama, his home for the next 20 years. Between 1950 and 1956, von Braun led the Army's rocket development team at Redstone Arsenal, resulting in the Redstone rocket, which was used for the first live nuclear ballistic missile tests conducted by the United States. This led to development of the first high-precision inertial guidance system on the Redstone rocket.[51] As director of the Development Operations Division of the Army Ballistic Missile Agency (ABMA), von Braun, with his team, then developed the Jupiter-C, a modified Redstone rocket.[52] The Jupiter-C successfully launched the West's first satellite, Explorer 1, on January 31, 1958. This event signaled the birth of America's space program. Despite the work on the Redstone rocket, the twelve years from 1945 to 1957 were probably some of the most frustrating for von Braun and his colleagues. In the Soviet Union, Sergei Korolev and his team of scientists and engineers plowed ahead with several new rocket designs and the Sputnik program, while the American government was not very interested in von Braun's work or views and only embarked on a very modest rocket-building program. In the meantime, the press tended to dwell on von Braun's past as a member of the SS and the slave labor used to build his V-2 rockets. [edit]. LIFE photo, source Google/Life 2008 (Free).

The date was October 4, 1957, when the Space Race officially began. That was when the USSR launched the first artificial satellite, known as Sputnik 1.

After you have gathered your supplies from Step One, it is now time to set up the first five tabs of your new prayer binder. But first... the most crucial part: Be Kind to Yourself. Enjoy the process. Don't feel stressed that you have to get the whole thing set up TODAY. Work on just ONE section at a time. You've been this long without this binder, a few more weeks won't make a difference. Take a deep breath, and let's dive in. But First: The Most Needed Part of any Prayer Notebook Sticky Notes Do NOT start your prayer notebook without this essential tool! I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I sit down to pray and as soon as I start, a thousand things of "need to do", "Can't forget!", and "Oh! That would be fun!" start buzzing through my mind. I need sticky notes to write all these things down or I will NEVER get through my prayer time. I'm the girl who has had an amazing thought at the beginning of prayer, closed my notebook, ran off do so something AWESOME, and never come back. Don't be me. Keep a post it stack right in your notebook with a pen! Okay, now we can move on. First off, I have one of my favorite quotes in the very front of my prayer binder. I don't read it every day, but do read it over a couple times a week. PRAISE And as you can see from my tabs, my first section is Almighty God, or Praise. Gina Garland titled hers as Almighty God, and the "Hour that Changes the World" book titles it Praise, with an emphasis on adoration. Either way, this is all about praising God. No wants, needs, or problems. This is praise of God and getting your heart and focus set on Him. It's not praise for the sake of "building up" God (He doesn't need it), it's about getting your heart right. Focusing not on you, but on Him. So in this section, I have some meaningful hymns typed out and also have been working on listing some names of God. If you do a Google search on "The names of God PDF" you'll find all kinds of printable resources to add to this section. I really like this one: 30 Days of Praying the Names of God How this works: I set my repeating timer (right now I'm praying in each section for two and a half minutes) and open the section and flip through pages, pausing as something catches my eye and think through it, making it a prayer to God. When the timer rings, I move to the next section. REST The next section is REST. In my previous posts, I had it labeled as "waiting", as the book suggested, but I thought "waiting" had a sense of me waiting for God to do what I asked. When I re-read the chapter, I realized it's more RESTING in God than waiting. So I changed it to REST. When I get to this section, I picture myself snuggling up against my loving Father. I imagine putting my head on his chest and just RESTING on Him. There isn't a lot of praying during this two and a half minutes, but I'll often have a verse come to mind, or a song, and just think through those things as I rest in His amazing arms. I have just these two pages in this section, just to keep my mind focused on what I'm doing if I start to drift off, or my attention wanes. CONFESSION This section is so important. I use the suggestion of the book where I think through the last 24 hours with these questions. And I've added things as I read them in books or see them. This section isn't necessiarily me writing out my sins, but verbally talking them through with God... because if I wrote them all out, I'd be writing for my entire prayer time. God already knows. I'm asking Him to forgive me and show me sins that I'm not even aware of. I have quite a few verses that are full of truth and life when I'm delving into the internal ugliness of my flesh. SCRIPTURE PRAYER This section is just a tab for me to remember what to do next, with two pages. One is notes I took from the book on what scripture prayer is, the other is this: I am currently praying through the Psalms, and may start keeping track of which I've prayed through, because sometimes it's hard to remember early in the morning. You can print off a copy of the above page here. Just for fun. PETITION And the last section of this first part, is prayer for me, or Petition. This is where I start asking God for all the things I need. And because there is so much, and I want to remember to hit all the key points, I divide it up into days of the week. So on Monday I pray for one aspect, and on Tuesday another, etc. The MAIN THING to do when working on this section and praying through it is to keep asking yourself WHY. Ask WHY all the time. WHY do I want this? WHY am I asking? It really helps clear up things... like if you are asking for selfish reasons or godly ones. It helps me think through why I'm asking and helps eliminate any selfish or fleshly prayers. WHY. Always be asking WHY. Here are the items I am praying for each day of the week. Your pages will look different, of course, but this will give you an idea, hopefully. Behind these, I also have a list of "wants", again all thought of when asking WHY. So that's it for the first five tabs. I hope this helps get your binder going. Remember BE KIND TO YOU. And enjoy the process. Just pray through these sections as you set them up, and keep working as you have little windows of time. Let me know if you have any questions!

The first of its kind in North America, we designed our Wood Slat Room Divider to be an innovative and stylish partition that creates separation in a space, while simultaneously elevating the aesthetic appeal.  Meticulously crafted with a high-density MDF core and real wood (Walnut or Oak) veneer, each slat is perfectly straight and dimensionally stable, every time. No need to worry about warping, twisting, or cracking over time. The slats come pre-finished; the Walnut slats are stained for a warm, natural tone and finished with a satin lacquer. The Oak slats are finished with a satin clear coat lacquer. Included with every order is our patent-pending hardware kit, which allows each slat to be rotated 360º, and all wood slats have CNC-drilled holes on each end to make installation a breeze. Not only that, but the hardware allows you to move and remove the slats without damaging them - the spring-loaded design keeps the slats securely in place, while still allowing them to be easily removed in seconds when needed.

Introduction to the Cold War lesson Bundle. Great lesson to get students involved, I use this as my day 1 introducing the new chapter. I use this right after I test on WWII. You can probably use all these resources for at least 2/3 full lessons. kids will have multiple resources and differentiation ...
