USS Michigan (SSGN-727)
BUSAN, Republic of Korea. The Ohio-class guided-missile submarine USS Michigan (SSGN 727) passes silhouettes of the rain obscured Oryuk Islets, in background, as she arrives in Busan for a routine port visit. Oryuk translates to "five of six" because the height of the tide determines how the rocks are separated at the waters surface.
Michigan, homeported in Bangor, Washington, is one of two guided-missile submarines (SSGN) currently in the U.S. 7th Fleet area of responsibility. (U.S. Navy photo by Lt. Jared Apollo Burgamy/Released)

Vernal Equinox (Ostara)
This Photo image of Vernal Equinox (Ostara) Clip Art (or other media file) is in the public domain because its copyright has expired. This applies to the United States, where Works published prior to 1978 were copyright protected for a maximum of 75 years. See Circular 1 "COPYRIGHT BASICS" PDF. Works published before 1923, in this case 1884, are now in the public domain.
This photo image of Vernal Equinox (Ostara) Clip Art is also in the public domain in countries that figure copyright from the date of death of the artist (post mortem auctoris), and that most commonly runs for a period of 50 to 70 years from the last day of that year. In this case Johannes Gehrts (1855 - 1921)
Ostara (1884) by Johannes Gehrts. The goddess flies through the heavens surrounded by Roman-inspired cherubs, beams of light, and animals. People look up at the goddess from the realm below.
Wiccans and neopagans observe Ostara, a festival of the Vernal Equinox that celebrates the season's change from dark winter to brightening spring.

The Black Chamber
The American Black Chamber. Forerunner of the National Security Agency. - 141 east 37th street, midtown Manhattan.
i, (+sookie tex) the creator of these The Black Chamber Clip art images, hereby release them into the public domain. This applies worldwide. In case this is not legally possible, I grant any entity the right to use this work for any purpose, without any conditions, unless such conditions are required by law.
If These The Black Chamber Clip art images are subject to copyright in your jurisdiction, i (+sookie tex) the copyright holder have irrevocably released all rights to it, allowing it to be freely reproduced, distributed, transmitted, used, modified, built upon, or otherwise exploited in any way by anyone for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial, with or without attribution of the author, as if in the public domain.
The Black Chamber, also known as The Cipher Bureau, was the United States' first peacetime cryptanalytic organization, and a forerunner of the National Security Agency.
Headed by Herbert O. Yardley (1889–1958), the Black Chamber was founded in May 1919 following World War I. Yardley had commanded the Army cryptographic section of Military Intelligence (MI-8) during World War I.
Jointly funded by the Army and the State Department, the Cipher Bureau was disguised as a New York City commercial code company; it actually produced and sold such codes for business use. Its true mission, however, was to break the communications (chiefly diplomatic) of other nations.
Its most notable known success was during the Washington Naval Conference during which it aided American negotiators considerably by providing them with the decrypted traffic of many of the Conference delegations, most notably the Japanese.
