>> Scott Moss: Let's just go over quickly a simple Todo implementation here in React for the web. There's a few ways you can do this, and I'll probably walk through one or two different ways we can do it. So a basic Todo app, the first thing we want to do is, we know that we need to keep track of the Todos that we've written here on the page.
[00:00:20] So inside of our constructor function, after we call super, because we're extending component here, I'm just gonna set up a place where we can actually store those todos. I'm just gonna call them todos. And it's gonna be an array. And then I'm gonna come down here to our return, and I'm gonna set up some basic templating for our todo app here.
[00:00:38] So let's just have a div and then we use a form here. So we can use the enter button for free and then what we'll do is we need to have a input. So let's make a input and let's put a placeholder. So there's new todo and it will also need a button that will say create.
[00:01:03] And then underneath that form, that's where we're just list all of our todos. So I'll just make a ul here and then inside that ul I'm going to iterate over the todos inside of our state. So using the brackets for that interpolation JavaScript, I'll say this.state.todos.map which is gonna give us access that individual todo.
[00:01:31] And then I'm just going to go ahead and return an li here for each todo with a todo in there. So that's literally just iterating over the todos array and then for each one return this element. That's what's happening here, I'm just doing it all on one line.
[00:01:49] It's fancy. So we got that part. So the next thing we need to do is somehow is capture the value of the input which is gonna be where we type in our new todo. And then on click, add that new todo to our todos collection. So there's two ways we can do it.
[00:02:05] The first we can do it is you can keep track of that state of the input. And that's what I will do first. So I'll just come in here, and say, new todo on state. And I'm gonna set it to empty string by default. Then I'm gonna come down to our input, and I'm going to bind to this value prop here.
[00:02:23] And the value is going to be this.state.newTodo. So that's gonna be a value for our input, which is just going to be an empty string. But now when that value changes, also once, I'm sorry when the input value changes, also wanna update this.state.newTodos value. So what I can do is also I can use the onChange property here and I can pass in a method.
[00:02:52] So let's just make of that it we'll call this handleChange and it's gonna receive the event so I'll just put e here. And because this event right here is actually gonna be the change event that happened on this input. So we can actually get the value by saying, const we'll say value =,
[00:03:21]
>> Scott Moss: From the e.target. So I'm just gonna get the value here. This is just a shortcut. This is de-structuring. This is equivalent of just doing that, it's the same thing. I just didn't wanna write value twice. So I did destructuring on the property or an object. So we get the value there and then we need to update the new todo with that value.
[00:03:49] So then we'll say this.setState, which is a function and the state that we want to set. So the state you wanna set the new todo. And we wanna set that equal to the value that we just got. So now when we type, and then we need to come down to the onChange, and actually type in that method.
[00:04:07] So this.handleChange.bindthis. So now as we type the value updates, let's just check that out right quick. I guess I need to serve it.
>> [INAUDIBLE]
>> Scott Moss: Yeah, sorry about that, that is kind of small, yeah. [LAUGH] Is that better? Is that better, yeah? Cool, I'll bump this, too, there we go.
[00:04:35] So now when we type, the input updates as normally. But just to show you why we actually needed that. If I got rid of the onChange, and left the value, the input's not gonna update. Let's check it out. See, I'm actually typing right now, but the input's not updating because the values is bound to whatever the state is which is never changing it's always an empty stream.
[00:05:02] So, it doesn't matter what you type in, the value is always going to be set to whatever the state is. So that's why we had to put that onChange there. So now onChange, we're just updating the state so that unidirectional data flow. So the input changes the state and the state comes back around, and then changes the value.
[00:05:22] So we have that. And then on the button click, what we wanna do, is we wanna take that value, and we wanna add it to our todos array. So we can do on here, is we can say onClick.
>> Scott Moss: And then onClick, let's just say this.handleClick. And let's come in here, make another method called handleClick.
[00:05:50] Now this also is gonna receive the click event and because we're using a form, we wanna prevent the default, otherwise it's going to try to send it to the server.
>> Scott Moss: There we go. And then all we wanna do in here is just update the Todo state with the newTodo state.
[00:06:10] So we can just say const todos =. We can make a new array here inline. And we can spread over the already todo state. And then we just go ahead and add in the new todo state, which is this.state.newTodo. And then now all we gotta do is call set state.
[00:06:34] This.setState and the state that we wanna set this todos. And I only have to write it once, again, because it's the same name. The to do value is the same name as the to do property, it's equivalent of doing this. So I can just do it once, sweet.
[00:06:55] Don't you also wanna set new todo? Yeah, and then I also want to overwrite, I need to do to be a new string so it empties out the value, the input so it's not stayed in there. Nice, so let's check this out. So if we say, clean up.
[00:07:14] We get the clean up the value emptied out. Lift, code, there we go. So that's one way to do it. Another way we could have done, actually, any questions on that so far? No?
>> Speaker 2: I wasn't sure if I caught how I cleaned out the the value.
>> Scott Moss: Yeah.
[00:07:34]
>> Speaker 2: Aside from setting the state was there something else?
>> Scott Moss: Nope, that's it. We just set the state, and that's because the input is always gonna be bound to that state. So whatever that state is, that's the value of the input

Advantages of Comic Book
It is basic for a man to have the musings that will push them to make a book. An individual must have the goals that they have to achieve when they have made a book. It is essential for a man to ensure that they have advanced toward most of the activities they will understand with the objective for them to be in a condition to achieve their principal mission and be able to get the tips that they need to use in their lives and read more here. Right when a man has picked what the book is about they should start to make it. It is fundamental for a man to have a base all around requested word checks objective with the objective that they can work to achieve it. A man ought to continually guarantee that they have gone to the base word check that they have set for reliably. Likewise it is basic for a man to put time to wear out their book each day. It is fundamental for one to allot time that they will work for their book each day so they can have the capacity to finish it inside the due date that they will have set. When one works for their book every day at the time they will have set they will constantly drive their consistency and it will be principal for them to wrap up their book. An individual ought to have a place where they will work from dependably. It is crucial for one to ensure that the place is beguiling with the objective that the general open can move a solid exertion.
It is vital for a man to guarantee that they have met the without fall flat word check with the target that they can accomplish their reliably due dates. It is thus essential for a man to guarantee that they have been dynamic in the midst of the time with the goal for them to be able to accomplish what they have set. The experts of the book should empower it to various individuals who have formed the book the book beginning at now so they can get some examination which will draw in them to survey the region that won't be made in a favored way. It is essential for one to get an early examination with the target that they can be able to complete their book on time. One should dependably guarantee that they have put the vast majority of the contemplations in the book so the customers can be a bundle to profit by the book when they inspected it.


Focus Group:
Strengthening and Diversifying the Clergy
In order to have a stronger and sustainable Clergy, it must be diverse. Our goal is to include all people, men and women with diverse backgrounds, as equal partners in the Church, as they already are in the eyes of God. Here are some of the questions this Focus Group is exploring:
 - How can we include women in highly visible diocesan-wide leadership roles? How can we increase women's voices and their votes in matters of church governance?
 - How can we address the diminishing number of clergy and seek a way forward by encouraging women and men called to serve in the Church?
 - We aim to promote discussions between laity and clergy about women serving in the diaconate and married men and women serving as priests.
 - How do we work with the diocese to better understand the attitudes of the laity about a variety of church issues, and how the laity can help support the priests in every parish, through surveys and active listening sessions?

Water vapor above a temperature of 212°F at atmospheric pressure is in the super heated state. The characteristics of the relative humidity scale change drastically in the super heat area. It is somewhat like going through the sound barrier, the physics take on new characteristics in the super heat area just as they do in the super sonic area. This can be confusing if not prepared for the change.
Below 212°F it is possible to achieve 100% relative humidity at any temperature. Above 212°F (in the super heat area) the maximum possible relative humidity plunges rapidly as the temperature increases. Pure steam (212°F dew point) will register only 20% on the relative humidity scale at 300°F. At 350°F the maximum possible RH is only 10%. At 400°F, maximum RH is only 5.9% and at 700° F, maximum RH is a mere .48%.
An RH instrument with a published accuracy of +/-1% will only indicate true moisture level with an accuracy of +/-5% at 300°F (+/-1% out of 20%), +/-10% at 350°F, +/-17% at 400°F, and will be useless at 700°F, even if the sensor is not destroyed by the high temperature.
Most RH instruments have a reduced accuracy specification above some specific temperature. An instrument with a published accuracy of +/-1% may be +/-2% above 200°F. This is sometimes hard to find on the data sheet, but is usually there somewhere. If the RH accuracy drops to +/-2% at elevated temperatures the true moisture level will have an accuracy of +/-10% at 300°F, +/-20% at 350°F, and +/-34% at 400°F.
Even if we forget about the absolute accuracy of an RH instrument above 212°F, the RH scale itself has problems in the super heat area. An RH instrument that is totally accurate may indicate 10% RH at a temperature of 300°F. This point is equivalent to 50% moisture by volume, or a dew point of 179°F or a humidity ratio (lb water vapor/lb dry air) of .622. This same instrument will display 10% RH at 350°F at 100% moisture by volume, or a dew point of 212°F, or a humidity ratio of infinity.
The above shows that the relative humidity scale is essentially useless or even misleading at temperatures above 212°F.
Some relative humidity instruments can indicate dew point or another absolute humidity scale. This is done by measuring RH and temperature and then calculating absolute humidity. This method is not accurate above 212°F because of the limited maximum indication on the RH scale.

'Hairy Ball Theorem' (Topology)
1. "You can't comb the hairs on a coconut."
2. "There exists a calm point on earth where there is no wind."
Both 1 & 2 are 'Hairy Ball Theorem'.
If we have a ball with hairs sticking out from each point on it, then impossible to comb the hairs flat with a continuous movement without leaving at least one hair sticking up vertically (typically, at the center of a swirl). Not applicable to doughnut.
=> Wind pattern:
Ball = Earth
Combed down hairs = wind
Length of hairs = wind's force
=> there must be a place on Earth where there is no wind at all.

 When approaching the topic of hair chemistry, one may think about the question, where does hair come from? Saclike holes called follicles are located all over the human body. At the bottom of these follicles are a cluster of papilla responsible for the growth of hair. As the papilla, otherwise known as hair bulbs reproduce to make new hair cells, the old ones are pushed up towards the surface of the skin causing the hair to grow longer. This may seem like a simple concept to grasp. However, the process

It's that time of year. You've committed to that diet. This will be the year you stop drying laundry on the treadmill and start running on it. And you're going to start paying more attention to recycling. But how about a new year's resolution related to adoption?
Words can be very powerful things. Although you may not know it, some of the adoption language commonly heard today can actually have a very negative effect on adoption, as well as adopted children, adoptive families and birth parents.
The way we speak about adoption helps others form their opinion of adoption. It can also impact how an adopted child feels about their adoption and their identity. For example, referring to your child as your "adopted son" or "adopted daughter" could make them feel as if they don't truly belong to your family, a feeling that could greatly impact a child's self-esteem.
In addition, one very commonly used phrase regarding birth parents is that they "gave up" or "gave away" their child for adoption. This negative term implies that the birth parents didn't care about their child – when, in reality, birth parents choose adoption out of nothing but love for their child. Instead of this negative language, say that a birth parent "placed their child for adoption" or that they "made an adoption plan." This positive language more accurately reflects the situation, without painting a negative picture of birth parents.
According the U.S. Census, 1 in 25 households with children has at least one adopted child. An even greater ratio of people have certainly been touched by adoption through friends and extended families.
That's why we're promoting the use of positive adoption language as a new year's resolution. It's up to us to change the conversation among our friends and families and in our schools and communities. Below is a list of some commonly used negative adoption language and the positive phrases that should be used in their place:
Negative: Real parent
Positive: Birth parent, birth mother, birth father
Negative: Give up/give away child for adoption
Positive: Place child for adoption, make an adoption plan
Negative: To keep
Positive: To parent
Negative: Unwanted child
Positive: Child placed for adoption
Negative: Is adopted
Positive: Was adopted
Negative: Adoptive parent
Positive: Child with special needs
Positive: Born to unmarried parents
Make 2012 the year that the adoption conversation changes!

Discrete Fourier transform matrix in Galois field
dm = dftmtx(alph)
dm = dftmtx(alph) returns a Galois array that represents the discrete Fourier transform operation on a Galois vector, with respect to the Galois scalar alph. The element alph is a primitive nth root of unity in the Galois field GF(2m) = GF(n+1); that is, n must be the smallest positive value of k for which alph^k equals 1. The discrete Fourier transform has size n and dm is an n-by-n array. The array dm represents the transform in the sense that dm times any length-n Galois column vector yields the transform of that vector.
 Note: The inverse discrete Fourier transform matrix is dftmtx(1/alph).
The example below illustrates the discrete Fourier transform and its inverse, with respect to the element gf(3,4). The example examines the first n powers of that element to make sure that only the nth power equals one. Afterward, the example transforms a random Galois vector, undoes the transform, and checks the result.
m = 4;
n = 2^m-1;
a = 3;
alph = gf(a,m);
mp = minpol(alph);
if (mp(1)==1 && isprimitive(mp)) % Check that alph has order n.
 disp('alph is a primitive nth root of unity.')
 dm = dftmtx(alph);
 idm = dftmtx(1/alph);
 x = gf(randi([0 2^m-1],n,1),m);
 y = dm*x; % Transform x.
 z = idm*y; % Recover x.
 ck = isequal(x,z)
The output is
alph is a primitive nth root of unity.
ck =
The Galois field over which this function works must have 256 or fewer elements. In other words, alph must be a primitive nth root of unity in the Galois field GF(2m), where m is an integer between 1 and 8.

The dictionary contains about 30,000 vernacular and literary English names of plants (plus a few American), both wild and cultivated, with their botanical name and a brief account of the names' meaning if known. It was conceived as part of the author's wider interest in plant and tree lore, and ethnobotanical studies.
Knowledge of plant names can give insight into largely forgotten beliefs. Why for example is, or was, the common red poppy known as "Blind Man"? An old superstition has it that if the poppy were put to the eyes it would cause blindness. Such names were probably the result of some taboo against picking the plant. Similarly, other names were likely to have been applied as a result of a country mother's warning to her children against eating poisonous berries. For the warning carries more weight when the name given to the berry reinforces the warning. Many such plants or fruits may be ascribed to the devil, Devil's Berries for Deadly Nightshade is an example.
Names may also be purely descriptive, and can also serve to explain the meaning of the botanical name. Beauty-Berry is an example: it is the name given to the American shrub that belongs to the genus Callicarpa, which is made up of two Greek words that mean beauty and berry.
Literary, or "book" names, have also been included in this dictionary, as being a very important part of the whole. Many of them provide links in the transmission of words through the ages. Thor's Beard, for example, is a book name for "houseleek", and has never been used in the dialect. But it highlights the legend that houseleek is a lightning plant, and by reverse logic is a preserver from fire.

The Arts Research Monitor, created by Hill Strategies Research in 2002, provides synopses of qualitative and quantitative research findings in the arts and culture. The Monitor should be useful to artists, arts managers, funders, policy makers, researchers and others with an interest in learning more about the arts and culture. The Arts Research Monitor is funded by the Canada Council for the Arts and the Ontario Arts Council.
Based on in-depth interviews with marketing managers from four Australian performing arts organizations, this article proposes four key indicators of the quality of audience experience in the performing arts: knowledge transfer or learning, risk management, authenticity, and collective engagement.
This English report attempts to provide a conceptualization of the quality of arts experiences that is flexible (i.e., relevant to various contexts, art forms, and levels of audience familiarity with the arts) and "meaningful in the context of Arts Council England's role and philosophy". The authors argue that, alongside an emphasis on accountability, a structure for learning could be an important component of an arts council's activities. In addition to quality of experience, a learning evaluation system could include value for money, organizational strength and resilience, as well as artist development.
This English review of "academically-robust research and influential policy papers from the past twenty years" examines two streams of research about the value and impact of cultural experiences: "1) how individuals benefit from attending and participating in cultural programmes and activities; and 2) the creative capacities of arts and cultural organisations to bring forth impactful programmes". The report concludes that "while individual experiences are the building blocks of the value system, the literature agrees that cumulative impacts – the effects of a lifetime of involvement in arts and culture – are the fuel for larger societal outcomes".
This report examines performing arts attendance in Quebec over a ten-year period (2004-2013), including performances of theatre, dance, music, comedy, circus, and magic. In 2013, the most recent year of the study, there were 17,100 performances with an admission fee in Quebec, attracting 6.7 million spectators and generating $229 million in box office revenues. Over the long term, performing arts attendance in Quebec has not grown.
This English literature review was intended as a summary of "the strength of the evidence base between 2010–13 about the economic, social, health and wellbeing, education, lifelong learning and environmental impacts and outcomes of arts and culture in England". Based on the 90 reports examined, the literature review found that the "arts and culture play an important role in promoting social and economic goals through local regeneration, attracting tourists, the development of talent and innovation, improving health and wellbeing, and delivering essential services".

Overview of Architectural Survey Program
Maine's architectural survey program began in 1972. Since then, the effort to catalogue and document the historic human-made environment has continued to be a central goal of the Commission's mandate with more than 21,700 properties surveyed to date. The survey component of the overall preservation planning program is a vital one. Surveys document at a variety of levels the historic human-made environment of our communities. This in turn enables us to identify those properties which merit nomination to the National Register of Historic Places and to thereby extend protection to those resources.
CONSULTANTS AND SURVEYORS…
Looking for guidelines for survey activities in Maine?
In addition to geographic based surveys, the Commission has also undertaken theme based survey projects to identify specific property types on a state-wide or regional basis. In the past, theme-based projects have included an inventory of designed landscapes, railroad related buildings, shoe-industry related buildings, sporting camps, textile mills, motor courts, and historic highway bridges, the latter undertaken by the Maine Department of Transportation. Future areas of study will focus on Grange Halls, post World War II commercial and residential architecture, automobile-related resources, and boys and girls summer camps.
One of MHPC's focuses in recent years has been the recordation of agricultural outbuildings and historic farmsteads. These resources are rapidly disappearing from Maine's landscape, and the survey of these properties have resulted in a greater understanding of the state's specialized agricultural buildings and landscapes. This effort will aid in the development of agricultural and rural historic district listings in the National Register.

What is recorded in a survey?
Properties over 50 years old, including, houses, barns and farms, churches, public buildings, schools, commercial structures, industrial structures, cemeteries, landscapes. Also cultural features, including tree lines, stone walls, and town pounds.
How is survey linked to the National Register?
The information collected during an architectural survey forms the basis for determining the eligibility of a National Register of Historic Places historic district. They provide visual, structural, and historical information that can be evaluated against the National Register criteria; they help to identify trends in style and design; chart neighborhood evolution; and illuminate structures or residences of significant historical importance.

The ability to respond to environmental temperature variation is essential for survival in animals. Flies show robust temperature-preference behaviour (TPB) to find optimal temperatures. Recently, we have shown that Drosophila mushroom body (MB) functions as a center controlling TPB. However, neuromodulators that control the TPB in MB remain unknown. To identify the functions of dopamine in TPB, we have conducted various genetic studies in Drosophila. Inhibition of dopamine biosynthesis by genetic mutations or treatment with chemical inhibitors caused flies to prefer temperatures colder than normal. We also found that dopaminergic neurons are involved in TPB regulation, as the targeted inactivation of dopaminergic neurons by expression of a potassium channel (Kir2.1) induced flies with the loss of cold avoidance. Consistently, the mutant flies for dopamine receptor gene (DopR) also showed a cold temperature preference, which was rescued by MB-specific expression of DopR. Based on these results, we concluded that dopamine in MB is a key component in the homeostatic temperature control of Drosophila. The current findings will provide important bases to understand the logic of thermosensation and temperature preference decision in Drosophila.

A Laboratory Landscape for the Outskirts of Bangkok, Thailand
As metropolitan Bangkok sprawls and expands, the boundaries of the nearby Dong Phayayen-Khao Yai (DPKY) Forest Complex and UNESCO World Heritage site are under increasing pressure. This project seeks to preserve the integrity of the UNESCO-mandated buffer zone between the Thai capital and the Forest Complex by transforming it into a vast agricultural testing zone.
Blanketed with rice paddies and dotted with agricultural laboratory buildings and schools, the buffer zone would become a testing field, focusing on studying and effectively producing food for Bangkok's growing population. The project imagines a form of bargain: the more productive this agricultural "laboratory," the more likely it is to remain an intact and effective protector of the World Heritage site it surrounds.

The best way to predict poverty is by combining satellite images with machine learning
earth nightlights
Coming out of the dark.
 - Ananya Bhattacharya
By Ananya Bhattacharya
Tech reporter
Published This article is more than 2 years old.
The first step to eliminating poverty is identifying the regions most by plagued it.
In 2015, the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals set forth 17 global missions. One of the most ambitious is to eliminate poverty by 2030. But, currently, on-the-ground economic measures are sparse and sometimes unreliable in poorer countries, which lack resources to collect accurate data. Much of the data from Sub-Saharan African countries is not well-documented, edited, or released to the public domain, according to the World Bank.
"How are we going to know if we've eliminated poverty if we don't collect data?" says Marshall Burke, an assistant professor in Stanford University's Department of Earth System Science. "It's like setting a weight loss goal but not having a scale to know if you've made any progress."
One solution might be to take a satellite's-eye-view of the planet. Looking down from outer space, places on earth that appear brighter at night tend to be the most developed. In impoverished areas, luminosity levels are lower. The World Bank has previously used "night lights" from nighttime maps to measure regional inequality income inequality in Africa. Using it as a proxy for economic well being, Burke and a team of researchers have developed an algorithm that's better at predicting poverty than all existing methods. They wrote up their work in a study published in the journal Science today (Aug. 19).
To create the model, researchers fed three inputs into a computer: nighttime luminosity data, daytime high-resolution imagery, and actual survey data about measuring two factors: consumption expenditure, which measures household spending, and asset wealth, which includes cars, TVs and other goods owned. The researchers chose five countries from the continent—Nigeria, Tanzania, Uganda, Malawi, and Rwanda—which had recently collected high-quality household data.
A two-step process called "transfer learning" is used to train the algorithm: First, data on night light and daytime images are combined. The computer starts mapping things like roads, urban areas, waterways and farmland. Then, the model looks for correlations. For instance, areas with houses and cars are likely to be more lit than barren regions. Second, the model ingests the actual survey data and checks it against the correlations, learning, for example, that areas with more cars are also more likely to rare higher on household spending in the surveys. Then, the magic: the model takes all that and uses the map to make predictions that fills gaps where there isn't good data.
So far, the researchers have been able to accurately estimate household consumption and asset wealth more than half of the time. They say their model is more effective than using both satellite imagery or household data independently, or any other existing methods.
The other great thing about the tool? The price. It's "nearly costless to scale across countries," the researchers write in their paper. All the hi-res imagery used for the project was free, from Google Maps. All the code is open-source so anyone can download and modify it. With more satellite imagery expected to be made publicly available soon, from the European Space Agency and other organizations, modified models can ingest new data and make predictions across time and regions. Right now, says Burke, they can estimate a snapshot of the state of poverty. But to make predictions about the future, they'd need a bunch of snapshots to see how things have changed over time. In the foreseeable future, the team hopes to "make maps that can update all the time," Burke says, as more hi-res imagery is made available and patterns emerge over the years.
The new way of tracking poverty can replace door-to-door household surveys, which are typically expensive and "institutionally difficult, as some governments see little benefit in having their lackluster performance documented," the researchers write. Eventually, Burke and his co-authors hope that governments and organizations across the world will no longer bet blindly on their anti-poverty efforts, but really figure out what's working and what's not. "They can use [the model] as a tool to evaluate anti-poverty programs that they don't get to do, mainly for lack of data."

Districts are an important unit for administrative purposes, but they vary little in their impact on students' attainment, at least in the UK. Further, government attempts to raise attainment are often disappointing. The project described in this article aimed to engage schools in reform to change students' attainment and attitudes in schools across a whole district. The intervention, peer tutoring, has a good research pedigree in small-scale studies, but scaling it up to district-level implementation has not been rigorously evaluated. Over 2 years, 129 elementary schools in 1 Scottish district were randomly assigned to different interventions. The implementation was not perfect, but the results were positive with respect to cross-age tutoring, which had effect sizes of about 0.2. Despite limitations, the study demonstrates that it is possible to carry out a clustered randomized controlled trial (RCT) on a large scale working with districts and suggests that peer tutoring has promise when scaled up.

Can I make my own acrylic pouring medium?
Pouring medium recipe: Mix equal parts water and white glue in a jar and shake to mix.
Add the pouring medium to the paint.
I like to add it to half empty bottles of paint but you can mix it in other cups if your bottles are full..
What creates cells in acrylic pouring?
Cells in acrylic pouring tend to form when there is a difference in density between the paint colors. There are different methods of achieving cells in an acrylic pour, but the number of cells that appear and the size of the cells are largely determined by the difference in the densities of the colors.
How do you make Mod Podge with pouring medium?
1 part paint to 3 parts Pouring medium. If you still need to, thin with more water to a good pouring consistency. Add silicone according the size of your cups.
What can I use in place of pouring medium?
Your Pouring Medium can be many things. We have experimented with water, Mod Podge (Glossy), dish soap, PVA Glue, Acrylic Flow Improver and more.
Why can't I get cells in my acrylic pours?
The key to success for many beautiful acrylic pouring cells is the consistency of your acrylic colors mixed with pouring medium. Only if this consistency fits, you will prevent the different colors from mixing too firmly and the cells from running (too liquid) and cells from forming at all (too thick).
How much Floetrol do I add to acrylic for pouring?
As a starting point, mix 1 part floetrol with 1 part acrylic paint. Stir slowly with a wooden stick until you reach a smooth consistency. When you lift the wooden stick out of the pouring mix, the paint should have a runny consistency.
How much water do you add to acrylic paint for pouring?
We recommend using a minimum of 1 part GOLDEN Medium to 10 parts water to thin acrylics above a 1:20 ratio, or whenever more durability is needed. Doing so will increase film strength and lower sensitivity to both water and other GOLDEN Mediums and Varnishes.
What is a good substitute for Floetrol?
Best Alternative Pouring Mediums Part OneBehr Premium Plus Faux Glaze.Golden Polymer Medium-Gloss.Elmer's Glue All.Pearl Ex pigment powders in flamingo pink, misty lavender, and spring green.Small stretched canvas.True Flow acrylic paintin black.Digital scale.Tongue depressors.More items…
Can I use water instead of pouring medium?
The Pouring Medium as an important factor. In Acrylic Painting, you use water to dilute your acrylic paints. This works well, but is not recommended for Acrylic Pouring. Water not only changes the consistency, but also the pigment density and the adhesion of the paint to the painting surface.
How do you thin acrylic paint for pouring with water?
The amount of water you add depends on the desired effect and the surface. Adding up to 30 percent water to acrylic paint thins it but still allows it to coat a surface. Adding 60 percent or more water creates a watery paint application called a wash.
Do you need Floetrol for acrylic pouring?
All those characteristics make it ideal for acrylic pouring! By improving both flow and leveling, Floetrol makes paint easier to work with. You can get those large cells more easily, even without an additional additive like silicone. … The longer your paints take to dry, the more you can tweak and finesse your pours!
What can I use to thin acrylic paint for pouring?
To thin and mix paint for acrylic pouring you will use two main ingredients: acrylic paint and pouring medium. You mix the paint with the medium until your final mix runs like warm honey, motor oil, or chocolate syrup. If necessary add some water to thin further.
What can you use instead of pouring medium?
4. Elmer's Multi-Purpose Liquid Glue. It might surprise you, but simple liquid glue is actually a very effective, budget-friendly pouring medium. Elmer's Glue-All (not its School Glue) performs well as an extender when mixed with water and paints, and it dries clear with no residue.
Can I use water instead of Floetrol?
Why not Just use water instead of floetrol Floetrol provides additional benefits over just water. Water will only reduce or thin the paint you are using. Floetrol is a conditioner which means it enhances the qualities of the water based paint your using while also helping it to be thinner for easier application.
Can you use Elmer's School Glue for Acrylic pouring?
Elmer's Glue-All is a multi-purpose glue that works well as a budget pouring medium.
Can you use olive oil for acrylic pouring?
Oils are a popular mixing medium in art. Acrylic pours are no stranger to this. However, some oils are heavy and greasy and some are easier to mix in. Coconut oil, baby oil, cooking oil and olive oil are examples of greasy oils that end up making your acrylic pour a cholesterol ridden mess (pun intended).

JACKSON, Wyo., April 8, 2008 /PRNewswire/ -- Building green may be all the rage, but for Tom Ward you might say the challenge is building brown -- and literally, from the ground up. The architect-inventor holds the patent to EarthWall, a seismically-stable rammed earth construction process for sustainable building. The main component of EarthWall? It's clean, natural and available in abundance: plain old dirt.
Watching the six o'clock news one evening in 1999, Ward recognized an opportunity to save lives. During coverage of the aftermath of an earthquake in Turkey, the Wyoming architect noticed that some of the homes -- those built from the region's indigenous rammed earth technique -- sustained less damage than the structures built with more modern methods. Ward wondered how the ages-old technique might be made more stable -- eventually developing an innovative method of stabilizing the earthen walls with reinforced steel rods in a "rational structural post tensioning system" -- that effectively creates earthquake resistance in rammed earth structures.
A principal in Ward + Blake Architects, the Jackson, Wyoming architect pursued the idea and his brainstorm held up in tests performed by the University of Wyoming's Civil Engineering Department as the first seismically stable rammed earth wall. In 2006, he received a patent on the eco-friendly building system that could help people in Third World countries construct earthquake-resistant homes. His innovative new-yet-old building technology -- with the potential for worldwide application -- won Ward + Blake a Newton Foundation research grant.
"Fifty percent of the world's population lives in earthen houses, many of them in seismically active parts of the world," says Ward. "This strong, low-tech method could allow for the rebuilding of structures in areas ravaged by earthquakes -- or even for replacing existing structures to prevent future damage-without resorting to expensive, culturally foreign building systems."
"The aspect that is most exciting to me," Ward adds, "is the potential for the worldwide application of EarthWall. Perhaps if the process is one day adopted in Third World countries, it will save not only homes from collapsing -- but lives as well."

Long Crested Weirsby Robert E. Walker, California Polytechnic State Univ, San Luis Obispo, CA, USA,
Document Type: Proceeding Paper
Part of: Planning, Operation, Rehabilitation and Automation of Irrigation Water Delivery Systems
A method has been developed to integrate and evaluate the head relationship between canal weirs and turnouts. The objective is to minimize flow variations through the turnout and at the same time permit the canal flow to vary to meet the changing needs of the system. A step-by-step procedure is presented for the computations of the required length of a long crested weir. Using the long crested weir results in a more stable flow rate through the turnout with less labor. The benefit to the water user is that less labor is required to manage or control the water.

In a Yorkshire Evening Post article that appeared on the 23rd June 2007, columnist John Thorpe described the inauguration of Leeds' new trolleybus system that took place on the 20th June 1911. The first bus was driven from Thirsk Row (off Wellington Street) to Farnley by Lord Mayor William Middlebrook. The second bus was driven by Deputy Lord Mayor Frederick James Kitson, the grandson of James Kitson, the founder of the Airedale Foundry. Farnley is four miles away from the city centre, and the round trip took 45 minutes.
The photo below appeared in The Electrical Review published on March 29, 1912, and shows a conductor using a trolley-pole to manipulate the trolley heads.
According to the Electrical Review, Leeds had just one trolleybus route at that time which ran from City Square to Moor Top, via Lower Wortley and Farnley., There were four trolleybuses in operation, and they were run by Leeds Tramways. The buses were manufactured by the Railless Electric Traction Company and were powered by Siemens engines. Later on, two additional routes were added, between Guiseley and Otley, and Guiseley and Burley-in-Wharfedale.
Leeds got rid of its trolleybuses in 1928.

عنوان مقاله [English]
نویسندگان [English]چکیده [English]
This paper investigates the effects of roughness of the flood plain on hydraulic overbank flow in a compound channel with non-prismatic floodplains. Experiments are done using three depth ratio, three divergence angles and three-roughness size of the floodplain. The flow velocity was measured using a three dimensional Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter (ADV) and directional current meter in a lattice along the divergence channel in three sections of the flume (entrance, middle and end of the divergence) with a different depth ratio. Using the experimental data, the values of the shear stress, depth–averaged velocity, local and zonal roughness coefficients, turbulence parameters and divided discharge between the main channel and floodplain were calculated. The results show that with increasing the floodplain roughness, in non-prismatic section, the ratio of the velocity at floodplain to main channel decreased about 31% and turbulence flow increased about 25%. Also under these conditions, the shear stress at interface zone was increased from 26 to 48%. As well as with increasing depth ratio, the above mentioned values are markedly reduced.

Egghead Eggshell Planter
By: Amanda Formaro
Age: 5 and up
Parental supervision is recommended
No fancy materials are needed. With just an eggshell, a little soil and some seeds, you can grow your own planter. It's the ultimate in eco-friendly craft ideas!
What you'll need:
- Clean eggshell with just the top broken off
- Half a cup of potting soil
- Teaspoon of grass, wheat or rye seed
- Five to six inch strip of card stock
- Glue or tape
- Black marker (optional)
How to make it:
- If you wish, decorate your strip of cardstock. We flecked some yellow and blue paint onto ours with an old toothbrush.
- Tape or glue the cardstock into a ring to hold the egg.
- Use a small spoon to fill the egg almost to the top with potting soil.
- Sprinkle the soil with seed.
- Add a thin layer of potting soil on the top.
- Carefully water so as not to overflow or soak it.
- Keep in a sunny location.
- Your seeds will begin to sprout in a day or two and your egghead will grow "hair" in about a week! (See photo.)
- If you like, you can decorate the outside of the egg with a black marker by drawing a face on your egghead.
- Use a small measuring spoon to scoop the soil and add it to the egg. Use a small spoon to add the seeds as well.
- If you have cats, wheat seed grows thick wheat grass and is a tasty and nutritional addition to their diet. It also aids in food digestion!
- You can also use an egg carton to sprout any kind of seeds that you like. Some seeds that sprout quickly and grow easily are green beans and radishes.

JELTA closes its 10th English conference with a burst of new spirit
The Johor English Language Teaching Association (JELTA) concluded their 10th English Conference at New York Hotel, Johor Bahru on the 29th July 2019, on a high note with special guest renowned author and activist, Datin Paduka Marina Mahathir and Setiawangsa MP Nik Nazmi.
Also present at the closing ceremony were the Deputy Head of Academic Sector Johor State Education Department, Shahilon Abd Halim, JELTA President, Vincent D'Silva, teachers, students and other guests.
Parallel to the conference's theme of "Multiple Perspectives in the Teaching and Learning of English as a Second Language", Marina in her special address as an author, columnist and social activist, told her story on how going back to learning creative writing formally helped her discover the need to be critical on what we have consumed daily. She also encouraged teachers to pass on the importance to read and write, taking examples of how the world gets to know popular countries like China and India because of the books that were written by their local authors.
Nik Nazmi brought up the importance of learning and teaching the English language to equip teachers, tutors, and anyone who are in charge to teach or lead in the language department and most importantly for the next generation. He cited that the English language has remained the main medium of communication including educational materials like journals, periodicals, text books and many more. Taking example from neighbouring country, Singapore, he talked about the importance to strengthen the core of national school's education and becoming the first choice for parents to enroll their children into.
One plenary and 2 workshop were held on the final day of the conference and it officially closed after a session of group photography and handing out the token of appreciation to the special invited guests.


Medical research safeguarded in Europe
The European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO), the leading pan-European association representing medical oncology professionals, has welcomed the adoption of the Clinical Trials Regulation by the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament, which enters into force today June 16, 2014).
The new clinical trial framework acknowledges the importance of using data stored for a clinical trial beyond the end of the study itself, for research purposes. Practically speaking, the Regulation states that when a patient gives his/her consent for a clinical trial, he/she can easily give a one-time consent for data to be used beyond the trial, for the purpose of medical research, still with the possibility to withdraw it at any time[1].
"The adoption of the Clinical Trials Regulation by the EU represents an important milestone according to ESMO, in support of our efforts to safeguard medical research in Europe," said Paolo G. Casali, ESMO Public Policy Committee Chair. "ESMO is keen on protecting and furthering medical research in Europe, and the EU has given a clear signal that they support medical research, including oncology research and care, whilst fully respecting the right of the patient to privacy and confidentiality."
The Regulation, which will now become law in all 28 EU Member States, provides a harmonised framework for conducting clinical trials: it introduces strong transparency of clinical trial data through the publication of all studies into a single website. Furthermore, whilst maintaining the central role of ethical committees, it streamlines the application process, adding strict timelines for approval by Member States, and creating a single portal that reduces the bureaucratic burden on researchers, particularly for multi-country clinical trials.
"The lengthy procedure of starting a clinical trial until the inclusion of the first patient has been known to the scientific community for a long time," said Christoph Zielinski, ESMO Board member responsible for relations with cooperative research groups. The magnitude of the problem has increased when international cooperative groups have introduced large clinical trials across European countries where regulations are different, leading to non-uniform trial execution. "The new Regulation should facilitate the performance of clinical trials in Europe, synchronising national regulations into a supranational strategy."
"The novel Clinical Trials Regulation represents Europe's unique chance of overcoming the old directive to make Europe competitive, attractive and visionary in conducting the fundamental clinical trials necessary for our fight against cancer," said Christian Dittrich, Coordinator of the ESMO Faculty for Principles of Clinical Trials and Systemic Therapy. "It is equipped to ensure that medical research will be able to continue in a smooth manner, for the ultimate benefit of patients."
"The new Regulation includes many topics that patients have been advocating for," said Jan Geissler, Chronic Myeloid Leukaemia Advocates Network. "Patients need more progress in research to develop new, effective and safe therapies at a faster pace, and with the new Regulation European cancer research will become more patient-centric." "The concept of a one-time consent is an essential component of successful medical research," said Rolf A. Stahel, ESMO President. "Its inclusion in the new Clinical Trials Regulation is a welcomed recognition of its importance for the medical community at large, like other crucial aspects that ESMO is relentlessly acting on to secure a trouble-free research environment for medical oncology in Europe."
ESMO collaborates closely with many European organisations, in a constant effort to support medical oncology. For the new Clinical Trials Regulation, EORTC has been at the frontline of a collective effort with ESMO, allowing us to continue to represent our members on key issues in our role as the leading medical oncology society in Europe.

Great Buddha of Kamakura
Tuesday, 29th November 2005 by Alex Turnbull
Right in the middle of our thumbnail, you can just make out the shape of the Great Buddha of Kamakura. Around 13 metres tall, the bronze statue is said to have been cast all the way back in 1252, and according to Wikipedia:
The Great Buddha was originally housed in a temple, but this was washed away by a tsunami in 1498, since when the statue has stood in the open air.
Wikipedia also mentions that each one of the Great Buddha's eyes are a metre wide!

Certain regions of the world are in timezones with Daylight Savings Time (DST) where the clocks change by an hour twice a year. Different timezones have DST on different dates and some have none at all. A quick Google search will show you when your (and your students') changes are, if any.
Don't worry, it's not as hard to figure out as it can first seem! Cambly's system automatically makes these changes for you on the system. Here are some things to keep in mind:
1. Timezone setting
Make sure you're in the correct Location and Timezone by checking the settings in your tutor profile, and the settings on your computer. If you make any changes, make sure you click'save' and then log out and back in to see the changes on your schedule.
2. Preparing your schedule for your DST change
Lesson times, reservation blocks or Priority Hours you see on your schedule before your DST change will appear the same after your DST change. These scheduled times will not change.
For Example: In September, you accept a reservation for November 10th at 8:00am. The Daylight Savings Time change takes place on November 5th. After the DST change, your reservation will still appear on November 10th at 8:00am.
3. Organizing your schedule post DST change
If you want the lesson time to stay the same for you, leave it as is. If you want the lesson time to stay the same for your student, please schedule the reservation either +1 or -1 hour after the DST change.
If I want my student to have the same reservation time, how do I know whether to add or take an hour from the lesson time?
If you are entering DST (springing forward) add 1 hour to the reservation time.
If you are leaving DST (falling back) subtract 1 hour from the reservation time.
4. Preparing your schedule for a student's DST change
If your student is changing their time but you are not, you have two options.
- You can leave the lesson time the same. This means the lesson time will be one hour different for your student.
- If you would like to keep the lesson time the same for your student, please schedule the reservation either +1 or -1 hour after the DST change.
5. Repeating Lessons
If you want the lesson time to stay the same for your student, please schedule the repeating lesson up until the date of your DST change, and then schedule a new repeat lesson +1 or -1 hour after that date. If you already have months of future repeating lessons reserved, you can cancel repeating lessons from a certain date onwards. Then, create a new repeating reservation with the new time.


Converting variable types—use PUT() or INPUT()?
7
How many times have you had a need to convert between variable types such as converting character to numeric or numeric to character? For example, what if you have a character variable with numeric values but you need to perform some calculations? Or, if you have a numeric variable but you need to concatenate it to a character variable? If you are like most SAS programmers, you need to use PUT() and INPUT() at least once to complete these tasks.
The answer to the question "Do I use PUT() or INPUT()?" depends on what your target variable type is and what your source variable type and data are. Below are three questions to consider:
 1. Is your target variable character or numeric?
 2. Is your source variable character or numeric?
 3. If your source variable is character, is your data value character or numeric?
Based on your answers to the three questions above, you can identify whether PUT() or INPUT() comes first. Keep these four rules in mind when writing your SAS statements:
 - PUT() always creates character variables
 - INPUT() can create character or numeric variables based on the informat
 - The source format must match the source variable type in PUT()
 - The source variable type for INPUT() must always be character variables
The following examples show how to use these rules to convert from character/numeric or numeric/character:
A PUT() converts character variable to another character variable.
B PUT() converts numeric variable to a character variable with numeric value.
C PUT() converts character variable with a user defined format to another character variable.
D INPUT() converts character variable with numeric value and informat to a numeric variable.
E INPUT() converts character variable with numeric value and informat to a character variable.
F INPUT() converts character variable with numeric value and informat to a numeric variable.

 Function Call Raw Type Raw Value Returned Type Returned Value
A PUT(name, $10.); char, char format 'Richard' char always 'Richard '
B PUT(age, 4.); num, num format 30 char always ' 30'
C PUT(name, $nickname.); char, char format 'Richard' char always 'Rick'
D INPUT(agechar, 4.); char always '30' num, num informat 30
E INPUT(agechar, $4.); char always '30' char, char informat ' 30'
F INPUT(cost,comma7.); char always '100,541' num, num informat 100541

 1. Do you have any easy tricks for preserving the variable name when you convert it? Right now I do this (assume x is numeric and a is character):
 data new (drop = __:)
 2. For years I have used the LENGTH statement to convert a numeric variable to character, or vice versa, so simple I feel sneaky! Here's the little bit of code:
 **assume varx is the original numeric variable you want to convert to char**;
 DATA final; LENGTH $ varx; SET oldfile(RENAME=(varx=vartemp));
 varx = vartemp; drop vartemp; run;
 **on the log will be a warning that you are using a numeric variable to create a character, but it will proceed nicely. You can certainly reverse this, by stating the LENGTH statement for a numeric variable.

Can you name the ant that produces the most toxic venom known? On the pain scale of 0 to 4, where does the sting of the female tarantula hawk fall? How many dogs die each year from ingesting or mouthing Sonoran Desert toads, according to the Arizona Drug and Poison Information Center?
"Tread Lightly: Venomous and Poisonous Animals of the Southwest," published by Rio Nuevo Publishers in Tucson, has the answers. Written by an emergency room physician and a registered nurse, Rich and Margie Wagner, this authoritative and informative book covers almost every wild critter in Arizona that bites, stings or secretes a toxic substance.
The nearly 100-page book boasts 55 color photos, illustrating venomous creatures and look-alike species that only appear as if they might do harm. Some of the more threatening ones will surprise you. Although we all know about Gila monsters and rattlesnakes, not many Arizonans are conversant with the dangers of cone-nose bugs and buckmoth caterpillars.
Unlike some other guides, this one gives first-responder advice. It provides phone numbers and Web sites of local poison control centers, and describes the recommended first aid or antidote for each animal discussed. The authors also explain the difference between venomous animals (such as brown spiders) and passively poisonous ones (such as toads).
The presentations describe each species' range and habitat, diet, life span, physical characteristics, behavior and reproductive potential, as well as the effects of its venom. Rattlesnakes get the most ink, as well they should. Prevention of bites is stressed, and there is a good discussion on how one gets struck, along with a summary of rattlesnake biology and behavior. The reader learns which species and strikes are most dangerous. Good advice is provided regarding first aid treatments not to be given — crucial information if one is bitten while in a remote area.
Containing the most up-to-date information on everything from Africanized honeybees to the use of cell phones, "Tread Lightly" is the latest word on an ever-interesting subject. Every family in the Southwest should own a copy.

Have you used AutoCAD saved views yet? We already covered the benefits here: 5 Benefits of using AutoCAD saved views. It is very useful to use it, particularly when you work with a very large drawing.
In this tip, we will see how we can use it when we open a DWG.
Let's see this sample file.
This is a road plan, and the drawing is very large. You can create several saved views to quickly navigate to a part of this drawing. If you don't know how to create a saved view, learn how to create a saved view here.
Select Initial View
When you click open, on the right side of AutoCAD open dialog box, there is an option to select initial view. By default AutoCAD will open the location where the last time you save the file.
If you activate the option and click open, you will see this dialog. In the list are saved views within the drawing.
Select a view and click OK. This allows you to show an area immediately after you open the drawing.
Partial open view
The more interesting this is the ability to open your drawing partially. If you have a very large file, you can choose to open a part of your drawing.
You can open it partially by selecting the layers to load. Or you can load all objects within a saved view boundary. It means you can load it much faster than loading the entire drawing, especially if the drawing is very large.
In the Open dialog box, click the small arrow to see all options. Click partial open.
In the next dialog box, you will see the saved views list on the left side. Choose which one you want to load. On the right side, you can choose which layers to load. In this case, I click Load All.
After you click Open, AutoCAD will load only objects within or crossing the saved view boundary.
This is very helpful to open only small part of a large drawing. And also helpful to troubleshoot a drawing when your drawing is corrupt.
Is there a way to set the default view when opening a drawing? I have a client that wants the same view/size when opening dwgs so I'd like to create custom views and set the drawings to open to that view automatically without input from the client.
AutoCAD always opens the drawing with the view displayed after the last save. You can restore the view, then save and close the drawing. Your client will see the display when he opens the drawing.
Of course, you can create a script or a custom command to do that.
I haven't works with very large drawings for quite some time, but I wish I had known about this then. Nice post Edwin.

Manx National Heritage is delighted to announce the opening of MUSEUM 100, an exhibition marking the centenary of the Manx Museum, which celebrates its 100th birthday next month.
Opening on Saturday 22 October 2022, MUSEUM 100 is yearlong major exhibition, which has been 18 months in the planning and will feature a kaleidoscope of over 150 objects and treasures from the Manx Museum's collections, many of which will be on public display for the first time. Highlights include the oldest surviving Manx registered motor vehicle, the first piece of Viking treasure ever collected by the Manx Museum and a magnificent Bryan Kneale mural.
Katie King, MUSEUM 100 Exhibition Curator, explains:
"The Manx Museum is home to an extraordinary collection of artefacts and archives that help tell the story of the Isle of Man and its people.Our national collections have grown over 100 years and reflect 10,000 years of our Island's cultural heritage. They reveal stories about who we are as a nation and provide a constant source of inspiration and pride for each new generation.
But if we look back some 150 years things were very different. It is hard to believe now, but there was a time when some Manx people felt their own history was so insignificant that the idea of a national museum was mocked? Surely, they said, there could be nothing of cultural significance to fill even one small room?"
A 'tenacious band of patriots' determined to research and protect the heritage of the Isle of Man, led by scholar Philip Moore Callow Kermode recognised the need was urgent. Farmers were using the Island's medieval stone cross-slabs to fill gaps in hedges and builders sent a Viking treasure hoard to the tip. Manx cultural assets were sitting in British national museums.
These scholars devoted themselves to rescuing and explaining the Island's heritage. Their work uncovered such astounding artefacts that people started to take notice. An Act of Tynwald established the Museum & Ancient Monuments Trustees in 1886.
The Trustees mission was to preserve the Isle of Man's cultural heritage and to build a national museum. Gathering a collection of significant artefacts proved straight forward enough, but finding a permanent home for the collection was a 30-year struggle. Philip Kermode again led the charge and on 2 November 1922 the Manx Museum was finally opened, in the former Noble's Hospital building, which was gifted to the Manx Museum & Ancient Monument Trustees by the Henry Bloom Noble Charitable Trustees.
The Manx Museum was officially opened on 2 November 1922 by Lieutenant Governor Fry. In his opening speech he remarked "One hour spent in a museum will be worth, many hours spent in a book." Their dream had been realised; the people of the Isle of Man had their treasure house – The Manx Museum, Thie Tashtee Vannin.
Today the Manx Museum continues to tell the story of the Isle of Man and its people; revealing stories about how we have grown as a nation and providing a constant source of inspiration for each new generation. The museum holds over one million artefacts in the national collections, and all are connected to the people of the Isle of Man and belong to the people of the Isle of Man.
"When the Manx Museum first opened in 1922 this was a revolutionary approach. Whilst museums across the water were collecting antiquities and curios from far-off lands, the Manx Museum was collecting everyday objects belonging to ordinary people. Manx National Heritage still follow the same fundamental principle of capturing the stories of the people of the Isle of Man told through their possessions and keeping them safe for the future. The collections include library and archives, art, archaeology, clothing and textiles, furniture, natural history and social history. Our role is to preserve and make accessible these treasures for future generations – for you, your children and your grandchildren".
Running alongside the exhibition will be a specially commissioned family audio adventure. 'MISSON 100 – SAVE THE STORIES' has been created for Manx National Heritage by children's theatre specialists Hello Little People. The audio adventure will take visitors on an immersive experience around the museum galleries as participants take on the role of Agent 100.
MUSEUM 100 opens on Saturday 22 October 2022 and runs until October 2023. The Manx Museum is open daily 9:30am – 4:30pm.
The Museum & Ancient Monuments Trustees were founded in 1886 to preserve the Isle of Man's cultural heritage and to build a national museum. The organisation was founded in 1886, with a remit to collect and preserve the history of the Manx people and the Island itself. Some 130 years later we still follow that same principle. This means that the Manx Museum's collections are unique, in that they only contains artefacts that are connected to the Isle of Man.
In 1922, the Isle of Man's first national museum opened, the Manx Museum. In 1938 we opened our first branch museum, at Cregneash and in 1951 a second branch museum at the Nautical Museum in Castletown.
In 1951, the remit of the Trustees was broadened to include protecting the natural environment, and their name was changed to the Manx Museum and National Trust. Further sites were added with The Old Grammar School (1970), The Grove Museum of Rural Life (1978), The Calf of Man (1986), Peel Castle, Castle Rushen and the Laxey Wheel (1989), House of Manannan (1997), Rushen Abbey (2000), Old House of Keys (2001).
Today The Manx Museum is part of Manx National Heritage, the trading name for the Manx Museum & National Trust (1951) and a registered charity, responsible for protecting and promoting the Isle of Man's natural and cultural heritage, looking after some of the island's most special places, spaces, archives and museum collections, making these available to people across the world.

|Renault 8 Horsepower Type AX Motorcar (1911)Belonging to Wilson James Ashburner, a retired engineer with a passion for all things mechanical. It was one of the first motorcars to be registered on the Isle of Man and always caused much excitement when people saw it being driven in the towns and villages. The car itself was maintained by William Knox's Engineering Company (William was the father of Archibald Knox). The family were great friends. This model was one of the most successful small cars of the pre-First World War era. Whilst not rare in its own right, this vehicle is special in that it is the oldest surviving Manx registered vehicle. It was issued the registration number MN12 and still holds the same registration. This makes it the oldest surviving number to car pairing on the Isle of Man. When the vehicle was donated to the Manx Museum it was finished in yellow paint, though there is evidence that it has had other paint schemes in the past. The wheels have wooden spokes and detachable rims. To prepare for MUSEUM 100 the car's engine has been conserved and partially restored.|

He found fame with his brothers as the Bee Gees, but in the early 1970s in a low point their career, the family returned to the Island to take advantage of its low tax status. Maurice lived in a large house called Kidborough and was friendly with the donors of this item. The soundtrack of 'Saturday Night Fever' revived the fortunes of the band, and Maurice finally left the Island for good around 1979/80. He then gave away a number of items to friends, including his record player. Maurice Gibb died in 2003, in Miami Florida.|
