vetiver essential oil | 10ml
Vetivera zizaniodes stapf
Escentia's Vetiver essential oil is 100% pure. The scent is earthy, strong and grounding. It has been used in many perfume industries and is composed of multiple sesquiterpenes, making it extremely grounding to one's emotions. It is used for its grounding effect during massage treatments. The oil from the vetiver plant has been found to help treat the symptoms of ADHD and ADD, may increase libido and help alleviate insomnia. It helps to reduce stress and anxiety and connect one to the earth. Vetiver oil also contains immune-supporting properties and is a great way to fortify your immune system
Product Specifications: Vetiver is a large, tufted bunchgrass and can reach up to 1.5 metres (5 feet) in height. The thin leaves and stems are erect and rigid, and the plant bears small brown-purple flowers in long spikes. The fragrant roots grow downward in the soil and can attain depths of more than 3 metres (10 feet). The plant is very drought resistant.
typical country of origin:
vetiver essential oil can be used to:
Vetiver essential oil is safe to use when distilled and released as a vapor. It can be added to an aromatherapy diffuser and can be applied topically (although it MUST be diluted into a carrier oil, such as grapeseed, first).
- Vetiver oil for alertness and mental fatigue: Vetiver has been used to increase concentration and help users to stay awake and alert.
- For anxiety: It has been shown to decrease anxiety and alleviate symptoms of depression. This is said to be attributed to its grounding properties. It has also been said to assist those with ADHD by decreasing mental fatigue and improving alertness.
- Deeper breathing when asleep: using vetiver in a diffuser when asleep has been shown to improve your breathing patterns. It could be used to assist those who snore heavily.
- It contains antioxidants: Vetiver is said to possess powerful antioxidants, which search the body for free radicals (which are responsible for ageing) and remove them from the system.
Blends well with: Bergamot, Clary Sage, Cypress, Frankincense Serrata, Helichrysum Italicum, Lavender, Lemon, Marjoram Sweet, Myrrh, Nutmeg, Patchouli, Black Pepper, Rose Absolute, and Sandalwood.
technique of extraction method:
Vetiver essential oil is distilled from the vetiver plant's roots, which are aged before being soaked in water. The highly concentrated oil that is released is then skimmed off the top of the water. It's used in holistic practice for its soothing, grounding capabilities. Vetiver is in the same family as other grasses used for their essential oils, including lemongrass and citronella. Vetiver oil is quite fragrant, with a distinctive sharp and earthy scent you may recognize from men's cologne.
May affect sensitive skin. Keep out of reach of children. Vetiver should not be used during pregnancy or while breastfeeding, unless under the guidance of an aromatherapist. However, it carries very little risk of toxicity. Avoid contact with eyes, inner ears, and sensitive areas.

World Atlas of Total Sky-Cover.
Environmental research papers,
AIR FORCE GEOPHYSICS LAB HANSCOM AFB MA
Pagination or Media Count:
The purpose of this atlas is to establish a global cloud climatology that details seasonal and diurnal variations. The Boehm Sawtooth Wave BSW simulation model is used to devise a method for describing the frequency distribution of total sky-cover. Two parameters, scale distance and mean sky-cover, permit the calculation of the sky cover distribution from clear to overcast. This is an efficient means of data storage, since two numbers define the entire frequency distribution. Hence, the frequency distribution of sky cover can be found for locations world-wide using the global analyses of mean sky cover and scale distance given in the atlas. Twenty maps are presented for each of these parameters - one set 4 times daily 0000-0200, 0600--0800, _PHONE_, _PHONE_ LST, for each midseason month January, April, July, and October, and another set of monthly means for all hours for each midseason month.

Download citation file:
the advent of the information age demands products easy to identify, the accelerated pace of people's lives, but also require product easy to operate. Products to meet these requirements will need an accurate form of semantics, which is one of the optimal designs of products. Product semantics refers to the appearance of the product itself, through the Industrial Modeling Language, to represent the use of product-related content. In this paper, the product form of semantics from the user in the form of symbolic elements of cognitive psychology, analyzes the research on the product form the user requirements and preferences of...

The VBA Weekday Function
Related Function:
VBA WeekdayName
Description
The VBA Weekday Function returns an integer (from 1 to 7), representing the day of the week for a supplied date.
The syntax of the function is:
Weekday( Date, [FirstDayOfWeek] )
Where the function arguments are:
Date - The date that you want to return the weekday of.
[FirstDayOfWeek] -
An optional FirstDayOfWeek enumeration value, specifying the weekday that should be used as the first day of the week.
This can have any of the following values:
vbUseSystemDayOfWeek - The first day of the week is as specified in your system settings
vbSunday - Sunday
vbMonday - Monday
vbTuesday - Tuesday
vbWednesday - Wednesday
vbThursday - Thursday
vbFriday - Friday
vbSaturday - Saturday
If omitted, the [FirstDayOfWeek] argument uses the default value vbSunday.
VBA Weekday Function Examples
The following examples use the VBA Weekday function to return the day of week for the date 12/31/2015 (a Thursday).
Example 1
' Return the weekday for the date 12/31/2015 (first day of week is Sunday)
Dim wkday As Integer
wkday = Weekday( #12/31/2015# )
' The variable wkday now equals 5.
Note that, in the above call to the Weekday function, the [FirstDayOfWeek] argument is omitted and so it uses the default value vbSunday. Therefore, 12/31/2015 (a Thursday) relates to weekday number 5.
Example 2
' Return the weekday for the date 12/31/2015 (first day of week is Thursday)
Dim wkday As Integer
wkday = Weekday( #12/31/2015#, vbThursday )
' The variable wkday now equals 1.
Note that, in the above call to the VBA Weekday function, the [FirstDayOfWeek] argument is set to the value vbThursday. Therefore, 12/31/2015 (a Thursday) relates to weekday number 1.
VBA Weekday Function Error
If the Date argument that is supplied to the Weekday function cannot be interpreted as a valid date, the function returns the error:
Run-time error '13': Type mismatch

Resonance Raman spectroscopy has been used to study chemically modified retinal analogs involving chain substitutions, ring substitutions or Schiff base linkages. In addition, retinal fragments and fully deuterated retinals were investigated, and infrared spectra of the four isomers of retinal were obtained. Low frequency resonance Raman spectra are also reported for all of the isomers of retinal, for the protonated and unprotonated Schiff bases of trans-retinal, for beta-Ionone and for trans-3-dehydroretinal. Band assignments were made to specific vibrational motions using the results of normal coordinate calculations. These investigations have led to a detailed understanding of the spectral features observed in the resonance Raman spectra of the retinylidene chromophore in rhodopsin and our results form the basis for interpreting the informative Raman spectra of rhodopsin in live eyes. Such investigations should allow, for the first time, a detailed and fundamental understanding of the basis of variations in the sensitivity of the eye to different laser wavelengths. Author

Shallow Geothermal Energy Use for the Protestant School St. Marien in Neubrandenburg
The Evangelische Schulstiftung (Protestant School Foundation) in Mecklenburg-West Pomerania and North Elbia erected a new school in Neubrandenburg as part of its development into a Christian Community School. The investors focused on energy optimisation and sustainability. In addition to passive energy-saving measures, a green roof and rainwater utilisation, active systems such as photovoltaics and shallow geothermal energy were also planned. GTN was responsible for the latter.
A supply concept was developed and implemented that is based on combined heating and cooling using a groundwater reservoir with low-temperature systems (underfloor heating, etc.).
The groundwater flow of 35 m³/h is developed via a production and an injection well, each 30 m deep, and utilised by heat pumps with 180 kW heating output. Cooling energy is generated by direct heat exchange with the groundwater to the extent of 40 kW.
The school building is largely equipped with a system for concrete core activation.

CONCERNED ABOUT PRUSSIC ACID & NITRATE LEVELS
IN YOUR CROP?
Nitrate and Prussic acid occur naturally in plants however if plants are damaged or stressed, Nitrate and Prussic acids can rise causing toxicity in ruminant animals once eaten. Causes of high Prussic Acid or Nitrate levels, include damage, stress, drought conditions, frost, high nitrogen fertilisers and certain herbicides. Feed Central has developed an on-farm test kit for growers of forage sorghum to test their crop within minutes for Prussic Acid & Nitrate levels.
Current lab testing is done through quantitative means. The in-lab tests have a 2-week turnaround, in which time crop results could change and render the results meaningless.
Our qualitative test is a faster alternative that can be carried out on the farm and produces results between a couple of minutes to one hour.
Test kits includes: 5x Prussic Acid Tests, 5x Nitrate Tests, step-by-step instructions, information sheets, safety gloves.

gaa handball
Overview — By Pat Daly GAA Head of Games
The main objectives of the GAA's Games Grassroots to National Programme (GNP) are to maximise participation and optimise playing standards. The big challenge for those in charge of teams is to ensure that games are structured to cater for the needs and abilities of those who participate.The GAA Coaching and Games Development Committee has developed 3 GO Games in Hurling and 3 in Gaelic Football known as —
What are the Key Objectives of the Go Games?
The key objectives of the Go Games can be summarised as follows:
 1. Promote Full Participation: Provide playing opportunities for all children at their respective levels of participation by ensuring everyone gets to play in the game and that nobody remains a substitute. "Playing, not winning, is the name of the game."
 2. Propagate the Principles of Fair Play: Promote sportsmanship by ensuring that all participants endeavour to play by the rules and give due respect to the opposition, the match officials and the game.
 3. Cater for the varying developmental needs of young players: Use modified playing rules and equipment that are appropriate to the age group and ability level of those participating
 4. Implement the GAA's Code of Best Practice for Youth Sport: Give practical expression to the GAA's Code of Best Practice for Youth Sport by invoking the principles of the Code at the fundamental levels of participation. N.B. While the playing rules for First, Quick and Smart Touch are not necessarily set in stone - the principle of ensuring that all participants get to play the full game is, as is the principle of not awarding medals or trophies arising from success in the Go Games.
What are the Benefits of the Go Games?
The benefits of the Go Games are:
 1. Increased enjoyment
 2. Increased number of touches on the ball
 3. Increased physical work rate
 4. Increased perception of competence

The Pitch-Key is capable of de-tuning and re-tuning the string very accurately but it is important to make sure that your guitar is properly prepared as follows:-
The use of a low-friction nut is recommended, as are nut slot grease and locking tuning posts. It is important that the Pitch-Key touches only the strings of the guitar so that it does not restrict any natural string movement.
Your guitar will require a minimum 30mm free string length in between the nut and the tuning post for use with the Pitch-Key. Note that slotted headstock instruments may not be suitable due to
the restricted space in between the strings and the headstock.
If preferred, the stabilizer leg gap can be carefully enlarged to suit the diameter of a typical adjacent string. Ensure that the final gap does not fit tightly over the adjacent string. An Occasional application of light oil to the moving parts is recommended for continued smooth operation.

the long-term goal of this research is to develop multimedia technology and interactive instructional strategies to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of obtaining informed consent for human DNA and tissue biorepositories. Studies suggest that individuals do not sufficiently understand the information presented during biorepository consent processes, and that traditional consent processes pose resource challenges for large-scale biorepositories. Based on experiments testing multimedia presentations for patient education purposes, multimedia has the potential to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of obtaining biorepository informed consent by increasing participant understanding and recollection of information presented. Yet, this potential has not been systematically investigated in the unique context of biorepository consent. In particular, there is a need to understand the separate effects of interactivity (i.e., question asking, feedbac provided to subjects) and multimedia (i.e., multiple information delivery formats) on participant knowledge, understanding, and decision to participate. This study will compare a standard paper-based consent process (control) to multimedia and interactive consent processes, using an experimental design with random assignment, integrated into actual recruitment at the University of Iowa Hospitals and Clinics'(UIHC) comprehensive DNA and tissue biorepository. To assess the separate effects of interactivity and multimedia, low and high interactivity conditions will be tested for both the paper and the multimedia conditions. In the high interactivity conditions, participants will be asked questions about the information presented and provided feedback on their responses. Interactivity and multimedia are expected to significantly improve subject knowledge and understanding when compared to the paper-based control. High interactive multimedia is expected to decrease staff time devoted to obtaining informed consent. Two hundred (200) patients will participate in the study from the Dermatology and Immunology/Rheumatology Clinics at the UIHC. Participants will be enrolled into the UIHC biorepository via one of the four study conditions. Results of the study will be used to develop a multisite comparative study designed to demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of interactivity and multimedia consent under different environments, forms of media, and informed consent protocols. This research has the potential to improve on current paper-based informed consent processes and to establish the feasibility of alternative, and more effective, multimedia consent processes for human DNA and tissue biorepositories and other research-driven efforts in genetics and genomics.
Biorepositories may ask thousands of people a year to donate biological samples, allow access to their health information, and participate in research. Yet, there is little research on the best ways to deliver informed consent information to individuals so that they can make an informed decision about participating in biorepositories. This study will test an interactive, multimedia tool for delivering informed consent information about biorepositories to individuals in an understandable and effective way.

Boston's Casserly House is a crossroads where Jesuit-minded volunteers bridge across generations not only to serve vulnerable immigrants struggling to build a life in the United States — but also to help one another on their own life journeys.
For nearly a decade, Ignatian Volunteer Corps and Jesuit Volunteer Corps members have come to Casserly House to teach English, build basic job skills and assist immigrants and refugees on the path to citizenship. In the afternoons, they put at-risk children on more solid academic footing with a neighborhood after-school tutoring program.
In the process, the volunteers learn to walk with one another, each helping the other navigate the waters of their own lives, one at the beginning and the other in the afterword of career and family raising.
In 2014, Anna Ryan was 22 with a newly minted diploma from St. Joseph University in Philadelphia. She had decided to spend that year with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, the largest lay Catholic full-time volunteer program placing mostly young adults in social justice and service organizations around the world. But when she arrived in the immigrant-settled neighborhood around Casserly House, she was, she admits, completely out of her element.
"I was very much on an unfolding discernment process and trying to figure out where I saw myself in the world and what vocation meant for me," says Ryan, now an assistant director of Retreats and Spiritual Life at St. Peter's University's campus ministry.
Jim McCarthy, on the other hand, was fully retired from a corporate career and already in his fifth year as an Ignatian Volunteer at Casserly. Personally, his own grown children were forging lives of their own, sometimes making decisions that unsettled or worried him.
Yet it was the gulf of years and experience between them that brought them together, each bringing a perspective that helped support the other in their work at Casserly and also in their personal lives.
"Living with five other women (at the JVC house), I could see very clearly and very early on that I had a unique work environment," Ryan recalls. "I had support and mentorship and stability in a way that some of them didn't have."
For Jim, "the mentoring went two ways," he says. Younger JVs like Ryan opened his eyes to the millennial culture, what pushes and pulls at them, what influences their decisions. They helped him understand his own children.
"We have a bottomless number of volunteers who come," says Sr. Nancy Braceland of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston, which founded Casserly House in 2000. "It's not hard to get volunteers; what's hard is having the right volunteers and people do the right kind of mentoring and build up a team."
That was what she had in mind when she brought in McCarthy in 2009, a year after she first brought in a JVC volunteer to staff and run the programs. She saw an opportunity for an older volunteer to mentor a younger generation.
"For me, it was important to have someone motivate and help the Jesuit volunteers succeed," says Sr. Nancy, who retired as director of Casserly this past August. "That's been a really critical piece of having Ignatians there."
The intergenerations of volunteers come together at Casserly House, a three-decker structure originally built to house the influx of immigrants coming to work in New England's burgeoning factories in the early 1900's. Today the top two floors of the house are occupied by three Sisters of St. Joseph of Boston, including Sr. Nancy. Casserly House operates out of the first floor.
Working in tight quarters, the JVs and IVC volunteers (there are two who alternate days) manage the daily challenges and operations. The JV runs the after-school program, while the Ignatian Volunteers coordinate the services for adults.
Together they fill essential staff roles, from recruiting and managing volunteers to guiding operations. IVC volunteers also take on the critical responsibility of strengthening the financial health of Casserly, applying for grants and maintaining and sustaining relationships with funders and supporters.
Despite days that are busy and full, the volunteers never fail to eat lunch together in the small kitchen. It is a time of reflection and sharing and of being present to one another. For McCarthy, who now serves on the House's advisory board, it was an opportunity to reinforce the Ignatian spirituality of service for his younger cohort.
"We all ate at the kitchen table and very frequently we would have luncheon discussions about how we experienced God during the day," says McCarthy, who this summer ended his volunteer work with IVC after eight years. "What I was trying to model was the respect and dignity that each person deserves."
Although Sr. Nancy is no longer the director and McCarthy is no longer an Ignatian Volunteer at the house, that model of support and discernment continues today. JVs and IVC volunteers still work together at Casserly, helping dozens of children with homework and hundreds of immigrants looking to get jobs or achieve citizenship.
"I find it inspiring that young people come out of school and would want to serve and live in community," says Mary Beth O'Sullivan, an IVC volunteer serving her second year at Casserly House as program manager. "I like to think my role is to affirm what is good and right in what they do."
"I think we can learn from each other," she adds.
Editor's note: See this month's Reflections Blog post by former Jesuit Volunteer Corps member and current IVC Regional Director Teddy Michel and read how his formative years as a JV helped shape his world view.

What superstition about the Christmas season does Marcellus relate?
This excerpt can be found in Act I, Scene 1 of Hamlet. Marcellus says that when Christmastime nears, cocks crow all night long, and during that time, evil spirits do not haunt the earth, because it is such a sacred time:
And then, they say, no spirit dare stir abroad,
The nights are wholesome, then no planets strike,
No fairy takes, nor witch hath power to charm,
So hallow'd and so gracious is the time.
This statement comes in the context of the sentries' encounter with the ghost of King Hamlet. The ghost vanished with the crowing of the rooster, and the coming of the dawn, and Horatio says that he has heard this is a frequent characteristic of ghosts. Marcellus agrees, and tells the story about Christmas to support Horatio's theory.

|Dunedin Railway Station|
Anzac Square and Dunedin Railway Station
|Address||Anzac Square, Dunedin|
|Lines||Main South Line|
|Connections||Taieri Gorge Railway|
|Owned by||Dunedin City Council|
Possibly the best-known building in the southern half of New Zealand's South Island, Dunedin Railway Station is a jewel in the country's architectural crown. Designed by George Troup, the station is the fourth building to have served as Dunedin's railway station. It earned its architect the nickname of "Gingerbread George".
Dunedin was linked to Christchurch by rail in 1878, with a link south to Invercargill completed the following year, and the first railway workshops were opened at Hillside in South Dunedin as early as 1875. Early plans were for a grand main station on Cumberland Street, but these never got any further than the laying of a foundation. Instead, a simple weatherboard-constructed station was built next to the site in 1884, though this was only ever intended to be a temporary structure. It took close to 20 years for government funding to be allocated to the new structure, and planning for the new station only really commenced as the 19th century was drawing to a close.
The logistics of constructing what would be (for a time) New Zealand's busiest railway station took three years before construction finally began in 1903. Dunedin, at the time a major commercial hub, required a station suitable to a wide range of activities: it was a commercial and industrial centre, close to still-active gold and coalfields, and was surrounded by a hinterland that was dependent on both livestock and forestry for its economy.
In an eclectic, revived Flemish renaissance style, (Renaissance Revival architecture), the station is constructed from dark basalt from Kokonga in the Strath-Taieri with lighter Oamaru stone facings, giving it the distinctive light and dark pattern common to many of the grander buildings of Dunedin and Christchurch. Pink granite was used for a series of supporting pillars which line a colonnade at the front of the building. The roof was tiled in terracotta shingles from Marseilles surmounted by copper-domed cupolas. The southern end of the building is dominated by the 37-metre clocktower which is visible from much of central Dunedin.
The booking hall features a mosaic floor of almost 750,000 Minton tiles. A frieze of Royal Doulton porcelain runs around the balcony above it from which the floor's design (featuring a locomotive and related symbols) can be clearly seen. The station's main platform is the country's longest, extending one kilometre.
The building's foundation stone was laid by the Minister of Railways Joseph Ward on June 3, 1904. The Prime Minister Richard Seddon was also present. The station was opened by Ward, by then Prime Minister, in 1906. The construction of the building was kept within budget, and cost £40,000.
In its early days, the station was the country's busiest, handling up to 100 trains a day, including suburban services to Mosgiel and Port Chalmers, Railcars to Palmerston and the Otago Central Branch and other trains to Christchurch and Invercargill. The city's economic decline and the reduction in the prominence of rail transport mean that only a handful of trains use the station today.
The station used to have dock platforms at both the north and south ends and a crossover midway along the main platform. Large shunting yards, most of which have now gone, occupied land to the south of the station. Much of this land has now been subdivided into wholesale and light industrial properties.
With the decrease in passenger rail traffic, the station now serves more functions than the one for which it was originally designed. Bought by the Dunedin City Council in 1994, the station's uses have greatly diversified, though it is still the city's railway station, catering for the Otago Excursion Train Trust's Taieri Gorge Railway tourist train. Much of its ground floor is now used as a restaurant, and the upper floor is home to both the New Zealand Sports Hall of Fame and the Otago Art Society. A produce market is held in the station's grounds to the north of the building every Saturday morning. Every year in March, the station takes centre stage in the South Island's main fashion show, with the main platform becoming reputedly the world's longest catwalk.
A thorough refurbishment of the exterior took place in the late 1990s, accompanied by the landscaping of the gardens outside the entrance, in Anzac Square.
In October 2006, the centenary of the station was celebrated with a festival of railway events, including the operation of eight steam railway locomotives from all over New Zealand. In 2006 the Dunedin Railway Station was recognised by DK Eyewitness Travel as one of "The World's 200 Must-See Places".
On February 12, 2008, a freak accident occurred when a container wagon struck and partially destroyed a historic footbridge which stands at the southern end of the station. Four pedestrians were on the bridge at the time, with one suffering minor injuries when she fell 4.5 metres from the wreckage. Reconstruction of a footbridge of similar design on the same site joining Anzac Square with the industrial zone close to Dunedin's wharves is due to begin in September 2008.
The square lies at the southern end of Anzac Avenue, a kilometre-long tree-lined street running roughly parallel to the railway, which leads to Logan Park, the northern end of which is part of State Highway 88, which links Dunedin with Port Chalmers. Logan Park was the site of the 1925 New Zealand and South Seas Exhibition, and the avenue and square were named to commemorate the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps, the "ANZACs", who were New Zealand's main military force during the then recently concluded First World War. After the refurbishment of the square, a large plaque dedicated to New Zealand's Victoria Cross recipients was relocated to the north end of the square, close to the start of Anzac Avenue. This has since been relocated again, and now stands close to the city's main war memorial in Queen's Gardens, 400 metres to the south.
The northern end of Anzac Avenue is likely to be severely affected by the construction of a new city stadium to replace Carisbrook close to Logan Park, and it is likely that the course of State Highway 88 will be diverted away from the northern end of Anzac Avenue. Directly across the square from the station is Lower Stuart Street, which leads to the city's centre, The Octagon.
Dunedin Railway Station is served by daily sightseeing trains to Middlemarch or Pukerangi via the Taieri Gorge, and to Palmerston. Although lacking any facilities specific to bus travel, the station is Dunedin's terminal for shuttle vans to Dunedin International Airport and for most long-distance bus companies, other than Intercity, which has its own terminal nearby.

Strain Hardening Exponent
The strain hardening exponent (also called strain hardening index), noted as n, is a material's constant which is used in calculations for stress-strain behavior in work hardening. It occurs in the formula known as Hollomons equation after John Herbert Hollomon Jr. who originally proposed it[1]:
? = K ? n,
where ? represents the applied stress on the material,
? is the strain,
and K is the strength coefficient.
The value of the strain hardening exponent lies between 0 and 1. A value of 0 means that a material is a perfectly plastic solid, while a value of 1 represents a 100% elastic solid. Most metals have a n value between 0.10 and 0.50.

Chemical weapons suppliers of Sardasht attack must be tried: Iran's Zarif
Iran has called on the international community to prosecute those responsible for supplying former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein with chemical weapons which were used during the chemical bombardment of Iran's Sardasht during the IraqIran War.
Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif made the call on Sunday, which coincides with the 28th anniversary of 1987 chemical bombardment of the northwestern city of Sardasht, which killed over 100 Iranian civilians and injured hundreds of others.
Zarif called on the international community to carry out their "legal and moral responsibility" towards the victims and their families and facilitate the punishment of the perpetrators and supporters of such inhumane acts.
As an active member of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, the Islamic Republic of Iran, along with other member states, will keep on trying for the "total annihilation" of all chemical weapons in the world, Zarif said.
He added that Iran is one of the main victims of chemical weapons.
Sardasht was the third populated city in the world, after Japan's Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to be deliberately targeted with weapons of mass destruction.
It was also the first town in the world to be attacked with poisonous gas.
The actual death toll is far greater than announced. Nearly 5,000 residents of the town, which had a population of 20,000 at the time of the attack, are still suffering from serious respiratory and skin ailments and disorders.
Iraq once possessed a huge arsenal of chemical weapons, the production of which was partly facilitated by exports of chemicals from the United States and other Western countries.
There is no doubt that Iraq acquired the technology and the materials to develop chemical weapons from the US and a number of Western countries, which not only equipped the Iraqi regime with the tech but also supported it financially.

Accumulated base: 50 F degree days and departure from normal-May 1 through July 29, 2007.
The third week of July produced slightly above average temperatures in the northwest two-thirds of Iowa, with southeast Iowa right on average. We are now entering the second part of the traditional dog days of summer, a period from July 3 to about August 11. It is named for the astronomical pairing of the sun with the dog star, Sirius, the brightest star in the northern hemisphere. Ancients thought the dog star added to the heat of the sun and attributed the star with oppressive summer heat.
Crops are progressing, but particularly in dry areas, soybeans have been slow to fill rows (if they have) and corn has now pollinated for the most part. At the risk of sounding like a broken record, any rain would be welcome nearly anywhere in the Iowa.

Recent erosion along the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal has exposed an unusually rich Upper Cretaceous fossiliferous outcrop at the Biggs Farm, near the eastern end of the Canal. Some III species of mollusks representing 72 genera have been identified. Coelenterata, Porifera, Annelida, Brachiopoda, Crustacea, and a few fragmentary vertebrate remains have also been found. Five species are being described as new, and there are 54 new records for the Cretaceous of Delaware.
The preservation of the material suggests that the animals lived on a sandy bottom in water between 50 and 100 feet in depth, possibly near the mouth of a bay.
Inasmuch as there is a mixing of some species characteristic of the Matawan Group and other species characteristic of the Monmouth Group, it is believed that the fauna at this locality lies near the Matawan-Monmouth boundary, perhaps in the lower part of the Monmouth Group.

Location: Melbourne, Australia
Year: March 2023
In early 2023, Taurus Engineering partnered with a company in Queensland, Australia, to deliver a pressure vessel for air purification in the chemical industry in Melbourne.
Build for demanding applications
The pressure vessel was built to the main specification of AS1210 Class 3 Pressure Vessel, with additional examination and pressure testing required to be done to Spec (4037-1999_R2016). All welding was done to ASME IX specs.
Constructed using grade 304 stainless steel with thicknesses between 5mm and 20mm, the vessel was made of plate, pipe, fasteners, rod, and machined flanges. These materials were chosen for their strength, malleability, and resistance to corrosive environments and applications.
Designed for corrosion challenges
The vessel was designed for a specific application in the chemical industry. However, due to its use, there were potential corrosive challenges that needed to be considered during the construction process.
Welding the pressure vessel presented multiple challenges, including Die Pen testing and 100% visual examination, as the vessel needed to meet the hazardous Class 3 specifications. Quality assurance checks needed to be thorough, and all material certificates were checked upon arrival. Multiple parties were involved in the welding process to ensure that no preparation was missed and that all quality assurance documents showed compliance with the AS1210 Class 3 specs.
The vessel had a capacity of 3.6 m3 and a maximum operating pressure of 0.58 bar. Its technical details made it unique and of particular interest to the chemical industry. The successful delivery of this pressure vessel demonstrated our expertise in meeting the specific needs of clients in the chemical industry and our commitment to meeting the highest quality standards.
Location: Christchurch, NZ
Our team had the pleasure of providing a pressure vessel to a food industry client located in Christchurch. The project involved fabricating, welding, and pressure testing the vessel to ensure it met all industry standards and requirements.
At every step of the process, our team prioritized quality and safety to deliver a product that would meet the unique needs of our client. We worked closely with the client to understand their specific requirements and ensure that the finished product met their expectations.
The vessel is now in use, supporting our client's operations and helping to ensure the safety and quality of their food products.
In 2021, our team had the opportunity to work on a boiler stack fabrication project for a recycling plant located in Christchurch, New Zealand. The project involved fabricating and welding a 6mm 1800 JD boiler stack, which was made out of 600NB SC4 10 316 pipe.
Our team was able to complete the project on schedule and ensure that the final product met all necessary specifications and standards. The finished boiler stack was installed and is now in use at the client's recycling plant in Christchurch.
We take pride in delivering quality workmanship and meeting the unique needs of our clients. This project was no exception, and we are pleased to have played a role in supporting the client's operations and commitment to sustainability."

Multimedia Case Study > Tip the Balance on Waste
"Tip the Balance - on Waste" is a waste reduction programme designed by Hot PJ for senior primary students within Canterbury.
Developed by Environment Canterbury on behalf of the Canterbury Joint Waste Committee, "Tip the Balance" is designed to challenge students to rethink the choices they make when it comes to choosing their school lunch, with the aim of reducing waste.
Students embark on a proactive journey:
- travelling back through the life cycle of an aluminium can - a very long life!
- making choices about what food and drink to have in their lunch box
- finding out how 'wastewise' these lunch choices are
- comparing their choices with a group of virtual friends and seeing who ends up with the best 'wastewise' score.
The interactive resource is supported with a Student Workbook and a Facilitator's Guide.

Repairing the Dahla Dam and its irrigation system is one of Canada's three signature projects in Afghanistan. Through this project, 80 percent of Kandaharis who live along the Arghandab irrigation system will have access to a secure water supply to stimulate agricultural production. Having this project underway is an important step in the economic development of Kandahar province and Afghanistan.
For centuries, the Arghandab Valley, where the dam is located, has been known as the breadbasket of Afghanistan. The region has the potential to be the most productive agricultural area in the country, with the greatest scope for creating food surpluses for processing and export.
The Dahla Dam and irrigation system is Afghanistan's second largest dam. Built in the 1950s, years of disrepair and war have left it functioning at a reduced capacity.
Repairs include replacing generators, repairing water valves, and fixing gates to improve control over the flow of water from the Arghandab River into the 40-kilometre network of canals. Downstream, a major desilting of the canals will ensure that the increased water flow will reach individual Kandaharis. As for the dam itself, sediment in Afghanistan's dusty climate has collected in the bottom of the reservoir. This has further reduced the capacity of the reservoir by up to 30 percent.
The repair of the Dahla Dam and irrigation system will:
The project is managed by a joint venture of experienced Canadian firms: SNC-Lavalin and Hydrosult.Progress to date:
The Dahla Dam and Arghandab Irrigation Rehabilitation Project has achieved the following significant results to date:

FFC #70 - Why math is not like writing
Posted April 26th, 2021 at 09:40 PM by The Grim Reaper's Friend
TGRF's Fan Fiction Chronicles - Entry #70
I'm beginning to see why some people like math. In math the rules are absolute. The goals are plain. The obstacles are clear. There is a right way to solve every problem.
I admit to not being a mathematician. Therefore my interpretation of the field may not be entirely accurate.
Writing is like the opposite of math. Some things have rules, some do not. What rules there are must be followed, bent, or broken depending on the situation. There are usually several goals, and defining them is not easy. You also never know if you have the right goal or if you're working towards something else. The obstacles are hard to find for the same reason. If the goal is wrong, the obstacle is too. Often there are multiple obstacles. There are a multitude of right ways to solve every problem, each of which offer varying levels of success. Sometimes solutions create more problems.
It's easy to wish for the unchanging rigidity of math.
I would like to note that this feeling quickly vanishes when faced with such things as math tests.
Why am I saying all this? You can probably guess why: once again, TGRF is stuck somewhere in the writing process.
Some things never change.
I wanted to explain what's going on, since it's been awhile since I've given you a true update. And as is usually the case, updating you involves relating why things aren't working the way I wish they were.
Way back in FFC #61, I figured out (or thought I did) one of my biggest issues with writing: the absent middles.
In summary: I was trying to use character change to find a story, rather than using character change to structure an existing story. The issue is that character arcs have a beginning, midpoint, and end. Everything else comes down to: the character changes. That's not a story, that's an outline. Thus, by trying to use character arcs to create stories, I was coming up with stories with no middles.
In the above-linked FFC, this finally dawned on me. To prove to myself that this was in fact the case, I created an arc-less pure plot story. It worked great, until I got to the end, and realized why we need character arcs (things just kind of resolved, with no reason why they resolved). But the point is, it didn't have an absent middle. The middle was the biggest part (which is as it should be).
So I happily reported my findings and went on my way.
And now here we are again, staring at absent middles.
It turns out saying you know how to do something and actually doing it are two very different things.
Once again, I've been trying to create stories from character arcs. I need to stop trying to do that. What I need to do is to find a story that I'm interested in, and start there. Now, You might ask how I can start with a character arc and not a story.
I'm probably the only one asking this, but whatever. I need to think out loud here.
Take one of my more recent failed ideas for fan fiction. This idea started with a simple premise: Aquilla has just joined the alliance, and now must race to protect her amulet before Utgar's armies arrive. What's the first thing I did once I had that basic idea? I started creating an arc. Other problems aside, this created the issue where the beginning, end, and midpoint are fleshed out, but the middle comes down to: Aquilla changes.
I need to change that first step. Instead of going straight to a character arc, I should have done... something else. But what that something else is... that I don't know. That's where my issue is. I need to get a story, but at the same time I need to somehow make a character arc central to it (as I learned with the plot-based story), somehow without starting with a character arc.
It's like looking at an algebra problem with lots of variables, where more than half of them have nothing to do with the problem. And also where I don't know what the answer is supposed to be. Or how to solve for it.

I guess you could try making a "stuff happens" plot first (you know, the kind you wrote when you were 9) and then see if you can fit a character arc into it
The pitch you give is a very plotty scenario to me, and I off the top of my head wonder what the character arc in it could be. You could probably give me a minute to think of a plot involving racing to hide the amulet from Utgar with lots of battles and a side-plot involving Drake's group in Aquilla's territory. Then you could tell me after the outline was done what the character arc was and I'd probably find a way to graft it onto the outline made (a few needed changes notwithstanding). The main problem with that would likely be that the arc wouldn't be the focus, just another element to the story.
I did that a few times in the fanfic competition to be honest, because you are often already given your plot in the form of a prompt. The arc I added after getting an idea, simply to give the story a bit more personality.

_USER_ Adding the arc in after the plot was created was indeed what I tried to do. And technically I could have done it, but it didn't feel... I don't know. Organic? Like it fit? It wasn't the focus, and maybe my problem is that I'm so unused to arcs not being the focus that it didn't feel right to me, but I don't know. It was definitely an interesting exercise if nothing else.
However, I'm researching how other authors go about making their stories. Hopefully this will help. I found a college class taught by Brandon Sanderson which he kindly put on YouTube which seems promising...

As a math teacher, I just need to push back on one thing here:
The first parts are right, but the last isn't always true. In math, there is a right way to solve a problem -- and there are probably several other right ways to solve the same problem. It's a common misconception about math, and I often tell my students that there may be one correct answer to the problem, but there are multiple ways to get there.
But yes, solving problems in math is different than solving them in writing.

_USER_ True. I fear my experiences with algebra have faded to the back of my mind, but your words bring back certain... memories. I remember taking issue with the answer book several times when an answer was marked wrong because I hadn't solve it the right way Who cares how I solved it? I got the right answer, didn't I?!?

Blossom and blue sky in an English heaven
Under an English heaven - blossom and blue sky at Chelmarsh, near Bridgnorth.
St Peter's Church, which dates from the 14th century, has been described as one of the finest pieces of medieval architecture in Shropshire.
It replaced an earlier church on the same site, and evidence of its Norman origins can still be seen today.
The north aisle has a blocked Norman doorway, and the bowl of the font is from the same period.
At one time the church was thought to be connected by an underground passageway to Chelmarsh Hall, a former granary that became a sanctuary for monks.
I hadn't planned this shot, but was driving past and just had to stop!

$CJEM.Add('document','example', 'onmousedown',
 DocumentExampleMouseDownHandler, null, msec);
}
// Captured the document example mouse down event.
function DocumentExampleMouseDownHandler(src)
{
 alert("You captured the '" + src.EventType +
 "' from the control: '" + src.ControlID + "'");
}
// Capture the Window Load Event one time.
$CJEM.Add('window','window','onload', WindowLoadHandler, 1);
Example 5 - Attaching More EventCallBacks
You can also attach more than one EventCallBacks to the same event. This allows the handler to call separate methods on one event, for example like below. When the span is clicked, it will fire the DocumentMouseDownHandler1 and DocumentMouseDownHandler2 methods. The neat thing is you can set delays also like the previous example. So DocumentMouseDownHandler2 will fire 2 seconds after the first alert. This allows for major power, especially with AJAX.
JavaScript
// Captured the Window Load Handler.
function WindowLoadHandler(src)
{
 // Capture the document example mouse down.
 $CJEM.Add('document','example', 'onmousedown', DocumentMouseDownHandler1);
 // Capture the document example mouse down.
 $CJEM.Add('document','example', 'onmousedown', DocumentMouseDownHandler2, null, 2000);
}
// Captured the document mouse down event.
function DocumentMouseDownHandler1(src)
{
 alert("You captured the first '" + src.EventType +
 "' from the control: '" + src.ControlID + "'");
}
// Captured the document mouse down event.
function DocumentMouseDownHandler2(src)
{
 alert("You captured the second '" + src.EventType +
 "' from the control: '" + src.ControlID + "'");
}
// Capture the Window Load Event one time.
$CJEM.Add('window','window','onload', WindowLoadHandler, 1);
Example 6 - Bubbling Events
When an event fires, it will bubble through all parent containers. This is a great feature implemented by most major browsers. The problem is browsers have different ways to handle it. Handling the scope and naming conventions of methods for cancellation can be a real pain. So I decided to fix these issues and make it simple and easy, the way it should have been done. To stop event bubbling, just 'return true' in your EventCallBack method. If you want event bubbling to occur, just return false or don't add a return. This not only makes it easy to stop bubbling, but fixes the scope issues.
JavaScript
// Captured the Window Load Handler.
function WindowLoadHandler(src)
{
 // Capture the document mouse down.
 $CJEM.Add('document','document', 'onmousedown', DocumentMouseDownHandler);
 // Capture the span1 mouse down with bubbling.
 $CJEM.Add('document','span1', 'onmousedown', Span1MouseDownHandler);
 // Capture the span2 mouse down without bubbling.
 $CJEM.Add('document','span2', 'onmousedown', Span2MouseDownHandler);
}
// Captured the document mouse down event.
function DocumentMouseDownHandler(src)
{
 alert("You captured the '" + src.EventType +
 "' from the control: '" + src.ControlID + "'");
}
// Captured the span1 mouse down event and bubble to document.
function Span1MouseDownHandler(src)
{
 alert("You captured the '" + src.EventType +
 "' from the control: '" + src.ControlID + "'");
}
// Captured the span2 mouse down event and stop bubbling.
function Span2MouseDownHandler(src)
{
 alert("You captured the '" + src.EventType +
 "' from the control: '" + src.ControlID + "'");
 // Cause the event to stop bubbling.
 return true;
}
// Capture the Window Load Event one time.
$CJEM.Add('window','window','onload', WindowLoadHandler, 1);
Creating Your EventCallBack Method
Once you have created your EventCallBack method, CJEM will pass your method one parameter object. It will contain the following:
 1. ClassObject - The name of window, document, class or variable that holds the method to call.
 2. ControlID - The id for the window, document or control to attach the event to.
 3. EventType - The event type name, onmousedown, onmouseup, onmousemove, onblur, etc.
 4. TotalInstance - The total instances left before the event stops handling.
 5. Wait - The total milliseconds to wait before calling your EventCallBack method.
 6. UserObject - A custom parameter for adding anything you want that will be transfered to the EventCallBack.
 7. event - This is the window event object.
The parameter object above will give you tons of information helping you to create remarkable controls. Scoping will no longer be an issue to access information like the class name, control id, parent id, event type, window event, etc.
Prevent Default Event Behavior
Someone requested me to show an example of how to prevent the default behavior of an element. Adding the code below to a callback handler will stop the event from firing its default behavior. The example shows a standard link element that will not work on single click or mouse down, but only on double click. Using the code below will enable this to work.
JavaScript
// Captured the Window Load Handler.
function WindowLoadHandler(src)
{
 // Setup events
 $CJEM.Add('document','link', 'onmousedown', mousedownhandler);
 $CJEM.Add('document','link', 'onclick', mousedownhandler);
 $CJEM.Add('document','link', 'ondblclick', doubleclickhandler);
}
// Handles the link mouse down and click.
function mousedownhandler(src)
{
 if(src.event.preventDefault){ src.event.preventDefault()}
 else{src.event.stop()};
 src.event.returnValue = false;
 src.event.stopPropagation();
 return true;
}
// Handles the link double click.
function doubleclickhandler(src)
{
 window.location = $O(src.ControlID).href;
}
// Capture the Window Load Event one time.
$CJEM.Add('window','window','onload', WindowLoadHandler, 1);
Custom JavaScript Event Manager - Source Code
Below is the Custom JavaScript Event Manager (CJEM) source code. I will also upload a compressed version later for use on the web.
JavaScript
// Registers a Namespace.
var $N={R:function(N){var o=window;var x=false;
 for(var a=N.split('.');a.length>0;){var s=a.shift();
 if(a.length==0){if(o[s]){x=true;}}if(!o[s]){o[s]={};}o=o[s];}if(x){return 1;}}};
// Finds an object by id.
function $O(S){return document.getElementById(S);}
// Check if object is undefined, null or string is empty.
function $NU(O){if(O==undefined||O==null){return true;}
 else{if(typeof(O)=='string'&&O==''){return true;}else{return false;}}}
// Custom Javascript Event Manager.
var $CJEM = {
 // The events array collection.
 Events: null,
 // Add an event to the manager.
 Add: function(ClassObject, ControlID, EventType,
 EventCallBack, TotalInstance, Wait, UserObject) {
 // Check if events collection is null and create it or reuse it.
 if ($NU(this.Events)) { this.Events = new Array(); }
 // Check if that id exists already as object or create it.

By fading of your radio signal we mean that incident wave change in the sector strength of signal received from distant transmitter. The fading of signal may be put in the following two categories namely general fading or synchronous fading and selective fading. The fading is caused because of interference between waves that have traveled by slightly different paths. The fading generally is slow taking some minutes to visit from maximum to minimum signal strength. Generally the entire signal fades synchronously. Such a fading is known as general fading or synchronous fading. Amplitude modulated signals traveling through ionosphere experience general fading. The fading might be sensitive to frequency. Thus in amplitude modulated carrier wave the carrier as well as the two side bands may well not fade inside and out synchronously. Such a fading is called as selective fading. Selective fading commonly ends in signals involving large bandwidth like frequency … Read the rest

When it comes to establishing a unique and captivating brand, every visual element plays a crucial role. From your logo to the colors you choose, every detail contributes to the overall impression your brand leaves on its audience. One of the most effective ways to enhance your brand's visual presence is by utilizing stock photos that harmonize with your brand's identity and messaging. Here are some tips and tricks to help you create a perfect union between your brand and stock photos:
1. Know Your Brand's Personality
Before diving into the vast world of stock photos, take a moment to reflect on your brand's personality. Is it playful and energetic, or is it sophisticated and professional? Understanding your brand's essence will guide you in selecting stock photos that resonate with your target audience and align with your brand's character.
2. Align with Your Brand's Values and Message
Stock photos can be a powerful tool for communicating your brand's values and message visually. Choose images that convey the right emotions and portray the ideals your brand stands for. For example, if your brand focuses on sustainability, incorporating images of nature or eco-friendly practices can reinforce your commitment to the environment.
3. Consistency is Key
A cohesive visual identity is crucial for brand recognition. When selecting stock photos, be mindful of maintaining a consistent style across your website, social media, and other marketing materials. Consistency in color schemes, image composition, and overall aesthetics will help your brand appear polished and professional.
4. Think Beyond Literal Representations
Consider using stock photos that evoke emotions or concepts rather than literal representations. Abstract images or photos with symbolic elements can spark curiosity and create a lasting impact on your audience. By moving away from traditional clichés, you can bring a fresh perspective to your brand's visual storytelling.
5. Customize to Make It Your Own
Many stock photo websites offer editing capabilities, allowing you to tailor the images to fit your brand's unique style even further. With simple modifications like cropping, adjusting color tones, or adding overlays, you can enhance the visual coherence between your brand and the selected stock photos.
6. Don't Overdo It
While stock photos can undoubtedly elevate your brand's appeal, it's essential not to rely too heavily on them. Balance is key, and incorporating authentic, original visuals alongside stock photos can create a more genuine and relatable brand image. Custom photoshoots or user-generated content can provide an added layer of authenticity to your brand's visual repertoire.
Remember, stock photos are a fantastic resource for supporting your brand's visual narrative, but they should never define your entire brand identity. By carefully selecting and harmonizing stock photos with your brand's personality, values, and message, you can create a consistent and captivating visual experience that resonates with your audience.

Bonneville Flood Walters Bar Area
suggested grade levels: 9-12
view Idaho achievement standards for this lesson
View the map and answer the following questions:
1. Determine the maximum water level height of the Bonneville Flood at high water stand.
2. Locate the pendant bar on Walters Bar. How did the pendant bar form and the resulting Jensen Lake?
3. Provide an explanation for the thick deposits of sand on the north side of Walters Bar.
4. Use the following photographs: * wb#4wabu.jpg * wb#5wabu.jpg * wb#9wabu.jpg
to determine the height of the boulders that were deposited on Walters bar by the Bonneville Flood. (Use Sara for scale, height = 5'5" Note you will need to convert feet to meters.) Click here for some useful conversion tables.
5. Use Hjulströms diagram to determine velocity of water needed to move boulders that were deposited on Walters Bar. Note: You may have to extrapolate on the Hjulströms diagram to determine the velocity.
6. Conduct a survey of boulder size on Walters Bar demonstrating water velocity decreased from proximal to distal portion of bar. (note: may want to incorporate the boulder size database).
7. Measure the width of the canyon at the Can-Ada Counties border. Measure the width of the canyon on the western most portion of the map near Walters Ferry. What is the difference between these two measurements? How did the canyon width control flood water flow and how does this relate to the production of the resultant features?
8. See figures wb#2wabu and wb#3wabu. Define festoon crossbedding. How are festoon cross stratification formed? Determine the relative thickness of the entire gravel unit and also the thickness of one cross bed. (You can use Sara once again for scale) Describe the flood mechanism that formed this deposit.

Sicilian Linen Towns
A few readers have written to us asking how and from where they can pick up old style tablecloths, bed linen and embroidered work in Sicily.
Our research has led us to the eastern side of the island and the towns of Sortino in the province of Siracusa, Vittoria in the province of Ragusa and Castiglione in the province of Catania.
The workmanship in this part of the island is known as'sfilato siciliano'. It is a technique which first appeared in the 15th century and was essentially the embellishing of white linen cloths with colorful threads.
The women of the time would remove threads of the linen and replace them with colored embroidery.
It must have been an intricate job and, in fact, it did become simplified over the years and only certain decorative areas were eventually reworked.
Many of the old techniques have disappeared but the craft itself was kept alive in the islands convents and specialist 'bottegas'.
A variation which is alive and well is practised at Erice in the west of Sicily. It is called 'frazzata' and involves the use of a hand loom to replace threads with extremely colorful cotton.
The cotton is inserted to form bright, geometric patterns often inspired by floral and Middle Eastern designs. The popularity of the 'frazzata' is such that what was once a craft practised in the home is now a recognizable industry.
What is there to see at Erice, Sortino and Castiglione?
Erice - The famous Temple of Venus which was uncovered following excavations in the Norman castle; a relic from the time when the city was destroyed by the Carthaginians in 260 BC. The tortuous medieval town was called Monte S.Giuliano until 1934.
Sortino - The necropolis of Pantalica built into the chalk rocks.
Castiglione - The old fortifications which look towards the coast at Taormina and Mount Etna in the south. The nearest town of Linguaglossa takes its name from a large tongue of lava which arrived in the area in 1634 and is commemorated by a memorial stone in the town hall

The treasures are protected from 99% of the sun's harmful UV rays.
Named for several prominent conservationists, the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller Mansion and National Historical Park came under the auspices of the United States National Park Service in 1987. Today the Park Service continues to manage and preserve the mansion along with its surrounding 550-acre mountain forest. The mansion abounds in precious irreplaceable furnishings, draperies, artwork, paneling, and floors that needed protection from the damaging rays of the sun.
Seeing how other national landmark sites have met similar challenges, the National Park Service turned to LLumar Window Film for help. LLumar N-1065 SR CDF, a solar control window film, reduces the sun's most damaging rays and is virtually invisible from either side of the glass. The Park Service had the film professionally installed on over 2,700 square feet (250 square meters) of complex multi-paneled windows.
Today, the treasures residing in the Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller Mansion are protected from 99% of the sun's harmful UV rays. This protection was achieved without affecting the mansion's original, elegant window façade. Visitors to the mansion are unaware that its windows are filmed, but the Park Service knows its valuable exhibits are protected from damage by the sun for generations to come.

To examine these relationships, the project leaders conducted research at two elementary schools in southern California: Lugonia Elementary School in Redlands, and Inland Leaders Charter School in Yucaipa.
Pilot testing of spatial activities and assessments took place at Lugonia Elementary School during the spring of 2016. The purpose of that research was to fine tune the activities and assessments that would be used in the larger research study. A comparison-group study was conducted at Inland Leaders Charter School during the 2016-17 school year. The goal of this study was to gather data that could be used to explore relationships among spatial thinking skills, computational thinking abilities, and mathematical performance.
Two treatment classrooms in each K-5 grade at Inland Leaders Charter School implemented spatial thinking activities for approximately 30 minutes each day during the 2016-2017 school year.
Two control classrooms in each grade did not do the designated activities. The spatial activities included creating designs with manipulatives such as design blocks and tangrams, mapping classrooms and schoolyards, using a map to find treasures, and providing directions with coordinate systems. At the beginning and end of the school year, all students completed spatial and mathematics assessments. A spatial-computational thinking assessment was also piloted with K-2 students.

Wii IR camera as standalone sensor

Using the Wii Remote IR camera directly with an Arduino

wii_remote_ir_sensor_sample.pde2.5 KB
The Wii Remote became a very intersting tool for hacking and other uses where it not has been mentioned for. After the first hacks appears in the internet a lot of people are doing great stuff with it.
This tip&walkthrough is about using the IR camera from the Wii Remote as a standalone sensor. It is based on hack of a japanese guy named kako. There also exists a Make article
This sensor is great for tracking infrared sources. It can track upto 4 sources independently and give out the coordinates and the strength ob each tracked object. The IR camera has an I2C interface which can be easy accessed by a microcontroller. Here an Arduino board has been used.
Wii Remote disassembling:
To get the IR camera out of the Wii Remote, the Wiimote must be disassembled. A Tri-Wing screw driver has been used for this task. The IR camera is on the front of the board. To get the IR sensor out a hot air gun is been usefull.
This walkthrough only works for an original Wii Remote. There exists some Wii Remote clones, which are cheaper than the original one but they have different sensors with unknown pinout, so be warned!
The schematic slightly differs from Kako's aproach, it has been taken form the CC2 ATM18 project. A quartz oscillator has been used. A frequency bettween 20..25MHz will work. Unfortunately the sensr is a 3.3V device. Some level conversion must be done before connecting it to a 5V Arduino board. The sensor gets it power source from 2 diodes in series with a 5V from the arduino board which give roughly 3.6V. 2 pullup resistors on the I2C pins limits the voltage down to 3.6.
Schematic and a board layout is atached to this article.
 - Wii Remote IR Camera (from a original Wii Remote, not a clone!!)
 - 24Mhz quartz oscillator (or 25MHz, but not a resonator!)
 - 2x diode 1N4148 or equivalent
 - 2x elecrolytic capacitor 10uF
 - 1x ceramic capacitor 100nF
 - 2x resistor 2.2kOhm
 - 1x resistor 22kOhm
 - perf board 60 x 25 mm
 - pin bar 1x4
 - pin bar 2x4
 - bar jack 2x4
The Arduino control software is also based on Kako's sources. It simply initialise the IR camera sensor and sends the readed blob information to a PC: The sourcecode has been slightly modified to work with the PC software.
The PC software is also taken from the CC2 ATM18 project and can be downloaded here.
An Arduino sketch is attached to this article. At the moment I am working on a processing sketch for graphical represantation of the Wii IR Camera output.
To be continued...

I've managed to dismantle another Wiimote properly and have soldered the sensor to a piece of perfboard.
This time, instead of having nothing, I have data flowing on my serial monitor but there are only zeroes. I have moved an IR led in front of the sensor but it doesn't change anything.
I have no oscilloscope, so I can't check precisely what's coming from the sensor. All I could achieve was a test to know if there was some voltage coming out from pins 5 to 8 and there is indeed.
I have checked the circuit and I think everything is connected correctly.
What and how can I test to ensure it's not the sensor which is broken again? :-(
zero data flows means :
1. the clock is not sufficient to drive the camera ( in my case, using 24mhz crystal, kako schematic, 74ls14, just got 3 MHz), fixed by using 74HC04 and got around 22 Mhz with 15pF capacitor, 18Mhz using 22pF
2. the reset is not correctly connected ( it's happen too. make sure you use the right 22k or 30k for reset and it got 3.3v ), fixed by make another pcb, but stilll cannot detected by wiiblobtrack, but read the position of IR correct
3. if SDA and SCL line pull up by 3.3v, use 2k2, but if 5v, use 4k7 ( yup... it happen that the data is still logic 0 because the pull-up is not sufficient )
this is my case so far about zero data flow.
to test the sensor, is put back the sensor to wiimote again... i did it about 7 times.. just solder all 8 pins, not the side pin, and test it again. hope it works
o yeah. i test it using PC, connect using bluetooth, wii whiteboard v 0.3 from johnny lee
1. I have used the updated schematics with a 24 MHz clock oscillator so I don't think there's an issue here. I would need an oscilloscope to check that. Might be my next purchase...
2. I think the reset is correctly connected.
3. I am using two pull-up resistors from 3.3 V, so it's 2k2 indeed.
I don't want to resolder the sensor to the Wiimote, it's a bit too hard to unsolder and resolder, I fear to destroy it.
I was first using the parts indicated in the schematics to get the 3.3 V (it was 3.36 actually) but to simplify I have modified the circuit and now I take it from the Arduino. Actually it's 3.28 V (the Arduino takes its power from the USB connection). Could it be an issue?
RobotFreak's picture
Did you checked the pinout of the clock oscillator? I remember CtC had a problem with his Wiimote boards using different types of clock oscillators.
Using the 3.3V from the Arduino board should be ok.
I bought another Wiimote and this time decided to solder some cables directly to the back of the Wiimote's board to test the circuit prior to unsolder the IR sensor. And it's working! So one must be really careful when unsoldering - this is yet my third dismantled Wiimote.
I can confirm that you can use the 3.3V output from the Arduino (Uno Rev. 2 in my case). Also, the pull-up resistors for SDA and SCL are not needed because the IR sensor is the only device on the I2C bus.
I'm going to try getting the blob sizes too.
Getting the z position trough blob size is easy. However the resolution is 4 bits only. Also, I have a jump between a value of 6 and a value of 15 when getting closer to the camera. I think I'll use two IR sources with constant distance and calculate the evolution of the tracked distance to infer the distance with a better resolution.
I figured out that the clock oscillator I bought is a bit different than the one shown on the diagram. Mine looks like this:As you can see it has only two pins. Is is also written "24.000 QIC" over it. Can I use this component? Can I power it with 5 V? Do I connect the other connection to the sensor's CLK input?
RobotFreak's picture
This is a crystal oscillator not a clock oscillator. But you can build a clock oscillator from it with a circuit like this (X1 is the crystal oscillator).
Kaku has been used a similar circuit with a crystal oscillator:
I decided to buy a regular quartz oscillator because components from the 74AC family are not so easy to find and are reported to create some noise if they are not properly used. Also I am also not sure the 74AC04 could be replaced by a 74HC04 because ICs of the 74AC family have a faster edge rate.

I've used a 74HC04 with a crystal to create a clock signal, but it was a different project so can't speak to the rise/fall times.

Digital font based on Spacerite's original Condensed Roman alphabet. Both OpenType and TrueType formats included with the download.
SKU: MLC-CondensedRoman-SR Category: Tag:
Spacerite Condensed Roman basic character map
Monument Roman: Condensed
Created for sandblast engraving, this alphabet was designed to accompany the Spacerite Modified Roman alphabet. Typically used for given names and dates. The alphabet saw most of its usage from the 1940s through the 1990s, and some manufacturers still use the Spacerite letter sets today.
The designer of the alphabet is currently unknown.
The Spacerite Condensed Roman alphabet was likely created in the early 1940s. According to a blueprint design book produced by Sand-Craft Services of Oshkosh, WI, it was still a relatively new alphabet when the book was printed in 1948. The alphabet is a condensed version of the Spacerite Modified Roman, meant to be used for names and dates in smaller panels or where the Modified Roman would not fit. By this time the Spacerite sets were being used almost exclusively for sandblasting, and the change is reflected in the thicker serifs given to this alphabet wich allows for better sandblasting than the previous two roman styles created by the company.
Spacerite Condensed Roman lettering on a headstone, with date error fix attempted.
The original alphabet contained what is believed to be the first ampersand available for a Spacerite alphabet, as well as periods, a dash, and a bullet. All other punctuation and extra characters have been created by the MLC.
