Optimal selection of passes
Preliminary numerical results obtained from the application of a linear feature selection technique to the determination of combinations of passes which best discriminate between a given set of crops in a given area of interest, are reported. The results obtained are not purported to hold in a general situation, but only for the given set of crops and the given, but unknown, levels of several factors-such as soil type, and fertilizer practice, holding in the area of interest. However, by identifying the various factors affecting the spectral signatures, and by formulating a regression model one could use the feature selection technique to determine the regression coefficients for predicting optimal passes for a given set of crops. Another use of the feature selection technique as applied to multiple pass registered data is the generation of enhanced grey scale displays by using a single linear combination of all channels of all designated passes as opposed to a single channel within a single pass

A History of Blacks in Kentucky: From Slavery to Segregation, 1760-1891
A History of Blacks in Kentucky traces the role of blacks from the early exploration and settlement of Kentucky to 1891, when African Americans gained freedom only to be faced with a segregated society. Making extensive use of numerous primary sources such as slave diaries, Freedmen’s Bureau records, church minutes, and collections of personal papers, the book tells the stories of individuals, their triumphs and tragedies, and their accomplishments in the face of adversity.

Costuming and Its Relation to the Individual
Have you ever noticed the costuming of cartoon comic supplement characters?. Indeed! who would wear such clothes? The lanky Andy Gump who wears a No man\u27s collar is ridiculously garbed for his campaign. His Prince Albert, vividly striped trousers and inevitable stove pipe elongate his gaunt figure. To complete the picture, there is a three-inch collar which almost interferes with his hearing. The names of Mutt and Jeff recall similar exaggeration of physical peculiarities by costuming
