Summer experiences at the YMCA bridge cultures
By: Mollie Shauger | Wednesday, August 28, 2019 | Summer Camp
International staff members at Fairview Lake YMCA Camps.
The Metropolitan YMCA of the Oranges is giving youth from other countries a taste of American life and camp, while providing opportunities for local campers and YMCA members to learn about other cultures.
Summer camp experience
For some children, camp may be the first time they are spending significant time with people of different backgrounds, races and religions. These interactions help broaden kids' world view and deepen their knowledge and understanding of other cultures and traditions.
Fairview Lake YMCA Camps is employing staff from Australia, Colombia, Denmark, France, Ireland, Mexico, Russia, Spain and the United Kingdom this summer.
"Our international counselors come to the U.S. using a J-1 Exchange Visa, which allows them to experience American culture and work in the U.S. for a limited period of time," said Emily Rearer, marketing director at Fairview Lake YMCA Camps. "We use an agency to help place counselors here at camp, and they go through the same rigorous background checks and interviews that our American staff go through."
The camp provides the counselors with cultural experiences like trips to New York City, the New Jersey State Fair and Sussex County Farm and Horse show, whitewater rafting, baseball games and waterparks, and the Fourth of July celebrations.
This summer, Fairview Lake also has campers from France and Spain. Almost all of the international campers come for three weeks or more of English language immersion and cultural exchange and they stay right in the cabins with American kids their own age, Rearer explained.
"Many of our international campers return year after year, and we have a few international counselors who were also campers," Rearer said. "It's awesome to see the friendships that develop between all of our campers. Many American kids have never thought about traveling outside of the U.S., and they are inspired to go on exchanges themselves, or study abroad in college."
The West Essex YMCA in Livingston has provided an American day camp experience to students from overseas, by hosting teens from China the last three years. Through this year's Teen Adventure Camp, the teens learned about American law enforcement by visiting the Livingston Police Department, and about the banking system by visiting Columbia Bank. They also took a trip to ShopRite to hear from a nutritionist, and visited Inglemoor Rehabilitation and Care Center where they put on a show for senior residents. The students stayed at Caldwell University during their time here.

The Wayne YMCA hosted 10 high school students from Spain during six weeks this summer, through a partnership with Greenheart Exchange, a non-profit foreign exchange student organization. The teens stayed with local host families, and were able to use the library at the Wayne Y, where they received English language lessons from their Spanish chaperone.
The YMCA also enabled them to experience the Y as a member would, providing access to the facility's pool, basketball courts, and other programs. During their visit, the students gave a presentation about life in Spain to YMCA campers, so that they were able to practice their English skills and also teach campers about their home country.
Having access to the Y was another way the teens could spend time together recreationally, said Laura Tiedge, executive director of the Wayne Y.
The Wayne Y has lent space for English language lessons before, including English as a Second Language instruction for Syrian refugees, but this was the first time they were approached to host exchange students, Tiedge explained.
"For Wayne, this diverse community is something we take a lot of pride in," Tiedge said.
The Wayne Y also hosted 30 teens and their chaperones from the Y Seoul Youth Center in South Korea in July. The group, mostly middle and high school students, came to the U.S. to visit colleges and also see what a YMCA in the U.S. is like, said Bill Kanas, associate executive director at the Wayne Y. They spent about 90 minutes at the Y, where they took a tour of the facility and were able to ask questions, and engage in some physical activity.
Welcoming Week
The YMCA will mark Welcoming Week from Sept. 13-22. Welcoming Week is an initiative of Y-USA's national partner Welcoming America, which celebrates the growing movement of communities across the U.S. that fully embrace new Americans and their contributions to the social fabric of our country. During Welcoming Week, communities bring together immigrants and U.S.-born residents to promote cross-cultural understanding to raise awareness of the benefits of welcoming everyone. To learn more, contact your local branch.
Fairview Lake YMCA Camps is a branch of the Metropolitan YMCA of the Oranges. To learn more about summer camp programs at Fairview Lake, visit fairviewlakeymca.org, or to inquire about opportunities for cultural exchanges at your local YMCA branch, visit metroymcas.org.

YMCA to Operate Campus Kids Summer Camp in Blairstown


On May 13, Diffusion communautaire Baie des Chaleurs Inc. was awarded a licence for a new Community FM station at Carleton. It would broadcast on a frequency of 94.9 MHz with an effective radiated power of 45,600 watts.
CIEU-FM signed on the air.
Diffusion communautaire de la Baie des Chaleurs Inc. had its application to change community station CIEU to a commercial operation (while maintaining its ownership structure and its community orientation) denied on January 8.
On April 12, CIEU was authorized to broadcast a maximum of four minutes per hour of restricted advertising. The station would also be allowed to accept payment for certain classified advertisements.
On April 18, CIEU-FM was given approval to decrease effective radiated power for CIEU-FM from 45,600 to 25,150 watts.
CIEU-FM's application for a rebroadcast transmitter was denied December 9. The application proposed the addition of a transmitter at Gascons, operating on a frequency of 99.5 MHz with effective radiated power of 852 watts. The transmitter would have extended coverage into the area served by CHNC New Carlisle.
On June 18, Diffusion communautaire Baie des Chaleurs inc. was authorized to add a transmitter for CIEU at Paspébiac, operating on frequency 103.1 MHz with an effective radiated power of 16.1 watts.
On September 28, CIEU-FM was authorized to operate a transmitter at Paspebiac on 106.1 MHz with ERP of 34 watts. The 1997 application for Paspebiac (103.1 MHz) was never implemented due to technical problems.
On January 27, the CRTC denied a change of the authorized contour of CIEU-FM-1 Paspebiac. Diffusion communautaire Baie-des-Chaleurs inc. had proposed to increase the average effective radiated power from 33.8 watts to 86.5 watts, increase the antenna height and to relocate the transmitter to a site at Port Daniel.
The transmitter's authorized contour would be changed significantly as the proposed site was located approximately 25 kilometres from Paspébiac. The licensee indicated that the demolition of its transmitter site in Paspébiac because of safety concerns made this application necessary. CIEU-FM-1 was authorized as a low-power unprotected service. Approval of this application would change its operating class to protected status under the Department of Industry's rules. Based on its examination of the record of this proceeding, the Commission considered that Diffusion communautaire's application raised concerns because the proposed contour would be significantly different. The Commission was also of the opinion that the proposed relocation of the transmitter to Port Daniel, some 25 kilometres west of Paspébiac, would result in the Paspébiac market not being served adequately. The CRTC also considered the financial impact that the relocation of the transmitter could have on CHNC. The Commission noted that CHNC's profitability had declined since 2000. Given that the economic situation in this area remained quite weak, the Commission considered that this technical change could have an adverse financial impact on CHNC. In light of the above, the Commission denied the application by Diffusion communautaire Baie-des-Chaleurs inc. to change the authorized contour of transmitter CIEU-FM-1 Paspébiac.
On August 31, the CRTC administratively renewed the licence for CIEU-FM and its transmitter CIEU-FM-1 Paspébiac to December 31, 2011.
On August 28, the CRTC administratively renewed the licence of CIEU-FM Carleton and its transmitter CIEU-FM-1 Paspébiac, to December 31, 2012. On December 21, the licence was renewed to August 31, 2019.

There are people who have lived lives of quiet obscurity and died with some measure of comfort at a ripe old age. Then there are others who change the world by following their dreams and whose strength of will alone could raise an empire out of nothing. Steve Jobs was one of those and his life has changed those of many around him as well as those he never met.
Steve Jobs' biological parents were graduate students at the same university at the time when he was born. His paternal grandfather wanted nothing to do with his father and forbade his mother from marrying him. They decided to give him up for adoption shortly after birth and then circumstances changed allowing them to marry and have another child who they raised as a family while Steve was raised by the Jobs family. He never developed a relationship with his birth parents and saw the Jobs' as his true family in every way.
His adopted father gave him some of his first lessons in electronics which would come in hand later as he acquired other skills. Teachers often saw him as a precocious troublemaker and he was skipped at least one grade because of his ease with learning. He met some of his first collaborators while still in highschool but he had already shown an interest in science and technology by then. College did not hold his attention in the conventional ways. He often went to classes other than those he was assigned and from his academic adventures was able to piece together a broader understanding that eventually served him well in the creation of his first company, Apple Computers.
One of the biggest influences on his success by his own admission was his experimentation with altered states of consciousness. This took the form of meditation, Zen Buddhism and experimentation with LSD. He often credited these with helping him to create. They also played a major role in his ability to adjust to pancreatic cancer, the disease which eventually took his life at the age of 56.
If anything can be taken from this particular life story, it is that the way you start out in life does not have to determine the way you end up. Tenacity can do wonders in reversing bad fortunes.

Truth @ 15 fps Reaches the Tipping Point
February 23, 2007 /1 Comment/in News /by Kyle
The fictional video blog "Truth @ 15 Frames Per Second" that I made last year (started a few months before that other, more famous, fictional video blog) hit some sort of tipping point recently. The actual site, with monetized Revver videos, still only gets about 50 visitors a day, but YouTube is out of control. It's getting a few thousand views a day. Pretty soon the combined views on YouTube will pass 200,000. That's a lot more people than I could ever hope to reach in a short film program at the best film festival. Of course, most of those views are for the webcam sex episode I made specifically for a web audience. And if the YouTube comments are any indication, a large number of those viewers are illiterate, and 15 years old.
But I still think this is great. Among the dozens of useless comments, I've been getting some great, insightful emails from people who watch the whole saga from start to finish. I never thought anyone would do that, it's like sitting down to watch an entire season of a TV show at once. If it's a British comedy series, you can easily do it in one sitting. I just wish YouTube gave me a taste of the money they're pulling in. Revver has earned me $14 so far, and that includes revenue from my other shorts.
Artistically, I think it was a good idea to keep 15fps as a limited series. It ended at a logical place, but without explicitly saying whether Penny and Sean broke up. That other, more famous video blog should have ended much earlier. Once the plotty stuff about devil-worshiping cults kicked in I got bored. But the trouble is, it got bad at the peak of its popularity. They couldn't stop at that point. They would have killed their big ticket to fame and fortune. If I had kept 15 fps going until now I would have run out of ideas because it was a limited concept.
I'm much more interested in limited web series right now. I don't want to promise too much, but I'm working on something now that I hope will allow me to create several 10-ish episode animated web series, possibly at the pace of one a week. It will be a while before I've worked everything out, but if it works it's really going to rock. Stay tuned.
15 fps was a great series. The funniest episode was episode #14.
Penny: "But he doesn't sleep on your side of the bed because I thought that would be weird."
Sean: "So what side of the bed does he sleep on?"
Penny: "My side."
That was hilarious.
I've watched some of the rest of your films and I think you have a bright future; especially if you keep casting Jennie Tarr.

We are already a week into the New Year, time is not slowing down and before we blink we will be starting 2017. In the meantime, we have just under 365 days to work on building our spa business to reach its highest potential. If your 2015 year didn't close out the way you had desired, now is the time to reflect on what you did well, what you could have done better, and ultimately what you want to see happen this year. There is nothing easy about running a spa, there are so many moving parts that all work together. When an aspect of your business is off, it trickles down into all other elements. So if you have no plan, you are setting your business up to fail.
Specific – You have clearly defined what you want to accomplish.
Measurable – You have identified targets and milestones to track your progress.
Attainable – Your goal is realistic and manageable.
Relevant – You have identified a goal that fits with your business model.
Time-Based – You have identified a specific period of time for the goal.
We agree with this very simple formula, however, we wanted to expand on this with our own process. So to start the year off on the right foot, you need to give yourself a few hours to fully commit to designing your Spa Business Goals for 2016.
We have broken it into 6 easy steps to get you moving in the right direction.
Visualize: Think about how you want your business to be seen in the market and by clients. Have you strayed from your initial vision and concept and want to get back? Think of your spa in the best possible light, with all the bells and whistles. Do not be limited by your thoughts. Fully embrace your business vision, no matter how lofty.
Collaborate: Have a visualization session with someone you trust, your business partner, spa director or manager or friend. Let them share their ideas and aspirations for the business. You may just get inspired.
Write it Down: Write down everything that you desire and want for your business. Categorize by department and list in order of priority.
Set Realistic and Achievable Goals: It is okay to have high goals, but make them achievable and attainable. If someone wanted to loose 100 pounds in a month, it would be unhealthy and not achievable. Be realistic and be aware of limitations, don't financially jeopardize your business for a goal that may not make sense. If you need additional research or data to validate your ideas and goals, do it, get expert advise before setting a plan in motion.
Make a Plan: This is the nitty gritty of your goals. Break them down by time and set milestones to getting things done. Assign people to tasks and parts of your project. As Dr. Leo Marvin, from "What About Bob" would say, "Baby Steps". Make each actionable item small enough that it can be completed within a reasonable window of time. We can never predict every step of every plan, but mapping out incremental milestones that you check off will keep you on task.
Pareto Principle or 80/20 Rule: Wikipedia states: "The principle was suggested by management thinker Joseph M. Juran. It was named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who observed that 80% of income in Italy was received by 20% of the Italian population. The assumption is that most of the results in any situation are determined by a small number of causes. "That being said, the 80/20 rule can apply to a lot of areas in life and business. To simplify the rule, 20% of your efforts can yield 80% of of your results. So work smart and efficiently. You may only need to implement small changes to have the greatest impact on your spa business. Think about it, and act accordingly.

Within the first week, George Alley brought a ceiling fan to the shop that he had picked up somewhere and was wondering if we could get it to work. My foreman Charles Foster thought it would be a good small project for me to work on to help me learn about electrical circuits.
After all, this ceiling fan could go slow, medium and fast, and it could go forward or reverse. Only at the moment, all it would do was sit there and hum when you hooked up the power. — So that was my first "unofficial" project, since the main goal was to make George happy so that he would help us out when we needed something special from the mechanics.
We drove to the coalyard and went into the dumper switchgear. Andy and Diane opened up a large junction box that was full of terminal blocks with wires going every which way in an orderly fashion. They located a couple of wires, and Andy unwrapped the wires from the handset while Diane removed the screws holding the wires to the terminal block. Then Andy clipped one wire from the telephone handset to each of the two wires and handed me the phone.
According to Larry Burns in the absence of mercury, ball bearings work just as well.

Syria truce crumbles as air raids hit Eastern Ghouta
A Syrian amputee uses crutches to walk next to a building that was destroyed following a reported air strike on the rebel-held town of Ayn Tarma, in Syria's eastern Ghouta area. (AFP)
Damascus - Syrian government forces have carried out several air strikes in the Eastern Ghouta area outside of Damascus, a day after the Syrian military declared a cessation of hostilities in the area, according to a UK-based monitor.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on Saturday had been relatively calm after the ceasefire took effect with isolated incidents of shellfire.
But on Sunday, six air strikes hit the towns of Douma and Ain Terma in rebel-held Eastern Ghouta, it said.
Al Jazeera's Mohammed Jamjoon, reporting from Gaziantep, on the Turkey-Syria border, said the Syrian military released a statement saying that the spirit of the agreement had first been breached by Jaish al-Islam - an armed opposition group.
"This goes to show how difficult it is to try to make these agreements," he said.
"The cessation of hostilities was signed yesterday but less than 24 hours later the situation is in tatters."
Syria's military declared a "cessation of fighting activities" starting at noon on Saturday in besieged Eastern Ghouta.
A statement from the Cairo-based political opposition movement Al-Ghad said the agreement had been reached in Cairo, sponsored by Egypt and Russia and with the involvement of mainstream rebel groups.
There was to be a full ceasefire in Eastern Ghouta, no government forces would enter the area and aid would be allowed in, it said.
Numerous attempts at a lasting ceasefire in western Syria, where rebels have lost ground to government forces and their allies over the last year, have collapsed with both sides trading the blame.
The United States, Russia and Jordan reached a ceasefire and "de-escalation agreement" for southwestern Syria this month, which has reduced violence. That agreement did not include Eastern Ghouta.

Its wonderful to come home after months of traveling. Not only have I been away from home, but also homeless, in a sense of the word. On the road I'm constantly seeking out accommodation, either as the guest at someone else's home, or the couchsurfer on some strangers couch. Not that I'm complaining… but its nice to finally be home again.
At the moment 'home' is Dad's house, in the 'countryside' (this has a better ring to it in Icelandic). My bed is actually a couch there, but its my couch so I love sleeping on it. I missed drinking tap water, ice cold straight from the source, and showering in hot water that kind of smells like rotten eggs. But its okay because its smells like home.
I love bathing in open air, in an assortment of pools and hottubs, even the ice-cold sea, because there's never a steam room or hot shower too far away. The wind on my wet skin and ice under my toes doesn't even bother me after I've stayed long enough in the hottest hottub, and sometimes I purposely dip in the cold tub or sea just to remember how much more I love the heat.
The sun doesn't rise until after 11 am and sets around 3 pm… and the days have gotten shorter every day. Tomorrow will be the shortest day of the year, but I don't mind, because that means every day after that until June 21 will be longer. Its cold, but not that cold, so I was happy to clean the snow off my car yesterday for the first time – it might mean that we'll have a white Christmas, even though every day last week was warmer than in London, New York or Vancouver.
I've been home nearly a week now, and the only thing I'm still missing are the Northern Lights and my horses. Both are within reach, so I don't feel homesick anymore, but it's amazing how you can't get enough of home even when you're finally home. Oh home, sweet home.
I´ve always wondered what the -stan suffix means. It´s in the names of may central Asian countries, and I always assumed it means ´land´or ´area,´ but some argue it doesn´t refer to any geographical boundary. In Pakistan, someone told me it means ´race´ or ´nation,´ and ´Pak´ means ´pure,´ so I'm currently visiting the land of the pure race. The ironic thing is that this place is completely mixed up, not only the people, but their language, culture, religion and look are far from homogenous.
I arrived in Pakistan, a country wedged between Iran, Afghanistan, China and India, and felt, literally, like I was in the middle of the middle. Where east meets the west, the middle east meets the Orient, Islam meets Hinduism, and a minority of ex-pats and local Christians thrown in the mix. You can dress in jeans and a tshirt, a colourful sari, local Pakistani dress (pants with a matching long shirt and shoulder scarf) or a black burka covering everything but your eyes – and either way you´d fit in. Karachi is a sprawling town of 20 million, and feels a little like Dubai growing on top of Delhi. American fast food chains and European coffee shops squeeze in among the local food shops and bustling street food markets, and like everywhere else in central Asia, banks sit on every corner.
I met a lot of bankers in Karachi. I couchsurfed with one, and met a dozen others, and realized I had fallen into a circle of privileged friends. Similar to in India or Nepal, there´s a social stratification system which ensures good education for some, less for others, and none for the unlucky few. Health, religious freedom, and economic stability are of course affected by this, but strangely enough, arranged marriages were still a problem. I met woman who´s in love with a man engaged to his cousin since birth, and another who took years to finally divorce her ex-husband (from an arranged marriage) and now lives without him or her 18 year old daughter.
Still, my Pakistani friends had their freedom – not conforming to the rules of Islam and indulging in the same things any corporate slave would do, we drove around in their new cars, rode horses on the beach, visited the few tourist sights, drank sun-downers at the yacht club, shared beers at the British Embassy bar, and smoked cigars and cigarettes from their rooft-top patios. We ate home-cooked meals, fast-food-street-food, and dined at Karachi´s best restaurants. My couchsurfing host´s mother fed me breakfast and milk-tea every morning, and told me she loved me as her own daughter.
Being pure doesn´t mean the nation has to be similar – for me it meant a land of genuine people, a place where people made me feel welcome and they all took personal pride in being able to share their home with me. They were as friendly to guests and foreigners as they are to their own families, and if they could, they would have wanted to show me all of Pakistan first-hand. There were some unfortunate events that happened in Pakistan recently – a hotel fire and a fatal plane crash – but I can still say I felt very safe in Pakistan. Accidents happen everywhere, (as well as terrorism – but don't indulge in any of the stereotypes you think you´ve heard about Pakistan) so I hope this doesn't hurt Pakistan´s chance of receiving more travelers and them enjoying the same kind of hospitality extended to me. I´ve already promised to go back, and made plans to see the north with a local friend and backpack thru the countryside with another couchsurfer. I plan on keeping that promise very soon.
I wasn't planning on going to Nepal before Pakistan, since Pakistan is right beside Afghanistan, but the overroad routes between the two were unsafe and my fake husband Michael from Germany couldn't get a visa. For whatever random reason, Icelanders don't need a visa to Pakistan (which was a problem in itself, since every hotel and customs guy asked for my visa and I nearly couldn't leave the country). But yeah, visa-free entry, not visa on arrival, for me and not German Michael. So, in Kabul, when it was time to leave Afghanistan, we had to go to the airport and find a way out by air.
We had preemptivley booked the cheapest flight to New Delhi but missed it after our flight from Bamyan was delayed. So we bought another, much more expensive flight at the airport, to New Delhi, and instead of stopping there went onwards to Kathmandu because… well, why not, we had both never been there (and its hard to breathe in New Delhi). The trip was last minute and very unplanned, but after more than a month in Iran and Afghanistan, it was a breath of fresh air to arrive in a country where I didn't have to be covered, and alcohol and pork were legally sold.
Kathmandu was smaller than I expected, but not as crowded as I feared. Its squashed between China (slash Tibet) and India and the mixture of Buddhist and Hindu religions all nestled under the Himalayas, making the most beautiful backdrop for a cultural mixture of faces and features.
I felt as if I had escaped to a colourful place, full of freedom and spiritual enlightenment. In Pokhara, I took a 2 day course of yoga and meditation, and in Kathmandu, I managed to socialize in cafes and public places as a solo woman. Strangely enough both of those things were equally enlightening. I also jumped off a bridge 70m down to a woman herding her livestock home, but luckily the bungee line bounced me back up.
Nepal is a place to travel to for more than just an unplanned week. And escaping to Nepal in my tshirt and skirt after a month covered from head to toe in black clothes was a form of travel therapy. But a week in Nepal is better than no time in Nepal, and I sent Michael on his way to Germany and had to go back west to Pakistan. The road can get tiring sometimes, but the best thing about traveling is change. And Nepal was a pleasant break from the Silk Road.


So Just moved into a new place that does not have much yard space to do target practice, but the garage is 10 yds long and going out the driveway I can 25 yds. I prefer to use the stacked foam sheet targets like the Black Hole but my arrows normally have about 6 in. sticking out the back side of the target and some times go the whole way through. With having a concrete wall behind the target I would like to get a foam target that will stop this from happening. Does anyone have any ideas of what i should get or should I just go back to the bag targets?
"Hatred eats the soul of the hater not the hated" Alice Herz Sommer age 108.
Yep, the Spider Web is a good one and arrows are easy to pull !!!!!!!!!!
Another good option on a budget is a grain sack filled with plastic bags and pillow stuffing polyester.
I been using spiderweb targets for years. The last one I bought is not like the old spider webs. Shot right through it and shot up pretty quickly.
I think i am either going to try a bulldog target or make my own with the thirdhand archery target skins.
Well, that isn't good news.... If you do get a bulldog, let us know how it works for you.
I've gone the Third Hand route and the Spyder Web route. In my basement I have two Spyder Web targets, one is probably 7 years old and still stopping arrows but they do go a lot farther into it. Outside I have a THA target that is only three years old and is beginning to show wear but I leave it out exposed to our extreme weather. Both options are very good options.
IF only your legs and arms were longer killer!!!!!
I've heard alot of good about the big shot targets. a guy I know shoots 150 to 200 arrows a day an his is still going after a year. I think his is the iron man ones.
you can get a blob in there...I am curious to because I haven't got a target that will last a year before I blow through it, and certainly nothing that will keep it from poking out the other end. Rinehardts have held up the best for me but I hate pulling arrows from them.
Pulling only 25lb Lanny, i would have thought your targets would last a life time.

Building the ultimate map of the Milky Way: Here's what scientists have so far
Beyond the realm of mind-blowing spaceflights, groundbreaking satellites and jaw-dropping lunar landings, the European Space Agency is focused on a crucial quest. It's simply "to create the most accurate and comprehensive multi-dimensional map of the Milky Way."
The ambitious undertaking is called Gaia, and over the past few years ESA has made steady progress on the dream. The scientists who are part of the collaboration have collected tons of spectacular data on more than a billion stars in our galaxy, recording every juicy detail along the way.
And on Monday, the team reached a massive checkpoint for the project.
Luckily for us, he's also released some standout visuals, which encompass the treasure box of cosmic secrets gathered so far. This particular milestone is officially called the Gaia 3 data release, and importantly, it's the one that the ESA says is "the most detailed survey of the Milky Way to date."
In this dataset, not only can you see thousands of solar system objects, like asteroids, moons, and other celestial wonders in our galaxy, but you can also browse millions of galaxies and phenomena outside of it. of the Milky Way.
The position of each asteroid at 12:00 CEST on June 13, 2022 is plotted. Blue represents the inner part of the solar system, where near-Earth asteroids, Mars cruisers and terrestrial planets are found. The main belt, between Mars and Jupiter, is green. The two orange "clouds" correspond to Jupiter's Trojan asteroids.
P. Tanga (Observatory of the Côte d'Azur)
When you look at the statistics from this survey, it's truly mind-blowing. This new trove of galactic intelligence includes some 6.6 million quasar candidates with estimates of redshifts, i.e. the extremely bright jets that power supermassive black holes, and likely their precise locations. It has 4.8 million candidate galaxies, about 813,000 multistar systems, 2.3 million hot stars, and much more.
"Gaia is a survey mission. This means that by repeatedly surveying the entire sky with billions of stars, Gaia is bound to make discoveries that other, more dedicated missions would miss," said Timo Prusti, scientist of the Gaia project at ESA. statement.
The Large and Small Magellanic Clouds appear as bright spots in the lower right corner of the image. The Sagittarius dwarf galaxy is visible as a faint, near-vertical band below the galactic center.

Some interstellar surprises
According to the team, among the most startling findings from Gaia Data Release 3 are strange phenomena called "starquakes."
Starquakes are pretty much exactly what they sound like – tiny movements on a star's surface that can alter its orblike shape. Some of these earthquakes are compared by the ESA to the vibrations we associate with "large-scale tsunamis" on Earth.
"Starquakes teach us a lot about stars, including their inner workings. Gaia opens up a gold mine for the 'asteroseismology' of massive stars," said Conny Aerts of KU Leuven in Belgium, and a member of the Gaia collaboration, in a press release.
Asteroseismology is to the stars what seismology is to the Earth, the study of earthquakes and other wave propagations. A preview of the starquake portion of the new Gaia data can be seen below.
Another startling revelation was that the Gaia telescope duo – which harnesses a massive billion-pixel camera – could detect the chemical makeup of stars being studied. This is a big problem that could revolutionize the field of astronomy.
In short, understanding the exact distribution of chemicals that bind stellar objects together could help us decode when they were born, where they were born, and what trajectory they followed after birth. This could reveal an in-universe timeline.
And with the new data from Gaia, the team discovered that some stars had heavier elements than others. Heavier elements are often metals and are differentiated from lighter elements because they have a different core structure.
This all-sky view shows a sample of the Milky Way stars in version 3 of the Gaia data. The color indicates stellar metallicity. Redder stars are richer in metals.
ESA/Gaia
But the main point here is that the lighter elements, as far as experts know so far, are believed to be the only ones present during the Big Bang. In essence, this means that Gaia Data Release 3 offers direct evidence of an extremely diverse combination of stars in our galaxy in terms of time and place of genesis.
"This diversity is extremely important, because it tells us the story of how our galaxy formed," said Alejandra Recio-Blanco of France's Côte d'Azur Observatory and member of the Gaia collaboration, in a statement. . "It reveals the processes of migration within our galaxy and of accretion from outer galaxies."
This sky map shows the Milky Way's velocity field for about 26 million stars. Blue shows parts of the sky where the average motion of the stars is toward us, and red shows where the average motion is away from us.
ESA/Gaia/DPAC/CU6, O. Snaith, D. Katz, P. Sartoretti, N. Leclerc and the CU6 team.
Taking it all a step further, seeing Gaia's efforts somehow reminds us of our place in the universe. Mapping a region much, much larger than the immediate vicinity of the Earth inevitably forces human existence into perspective.
As Recio-Blanco says, "It shows as clearly as our sun, and we, all belong to an ever-changing system, formed through the coming together of stars and gases of different origins."
Other notable sightings with Gaia include over 800 binary star systems, which refers to two stars orbiting each other, as opposed to the singular sun in our solar system, and a new asteroid study including 156,000 rock bodies.
This image shows the orbits of more than 150,000 asteroids – from inner parts of the solar system to Trojan asteroids at Jupiter's distance. The yellow circle in the center represents the sun. Blue represents the inner part of the solar system, where there are near-Earth asteroids, Mars cruisers and terrestrial planets. The main belt, between Mars and Jupiter, is green. Jupiter Trojans are red.
"We can't wait for the astronomical community to dive into our new data to learn even more about our galaxy and its surroundings than we could have ever imagined," Prusti said.
And when it comes to Gaia's next steps, the team intends to continue working on what will ultimately be the pinnacle of lore from our home galaxy, the Milky Way.
This image shows an artistic impression of the Milky Way, plus an overlay showing the location and densities of a sample of young stars from Gaia Data Release 3 (in yellow-green). The sign "you are here" points to the sun.

1. 只看moving company的网站漂亮,就轻信了他们的服务. 更何况说,有的网站根本不是mover本身,而是moving broker(中介公司)的站点. 夏天搬家公司的业务忙的时候,很多人找不到合适的moving company, 就找这种moving broker来搞定一家搬家公司,那么结果搬家的质量就难说了.
6. 选好了搬家公司后,一定要和搬家公司确切说好服务都包括哪些事项后,再签字确认。比如说,如果不事先签字确认好的话,你会想当然的认为搬家公司应该来做packing打包, 但搬家公司认为顾客应该事先打包整理好的。还有就是保险的范围,pick up dates, delivery dates等等,都要搞清楚签字确认.

Sony has announced that its PlayStation 4 console will launch on November 15 in North America. Europe will get the console two weeks later, on November 29. As previously announced, the system will launch for $399, €399 and £349. Sony says it\'ll be available in 32 countries upon launch.
The date gives a more definitive time frame for Sony\'s oncoming holiday battle with Microsoft and its Xbox One. That next-gen system doesn\'t have a specific release date yet, but will launch in 13 countries sometime this November for $500.
Sony made the launch date official this afternoon as part of its conference at the annual Gamescom convention in Cologne, Germany. There, the company announced that the PS4 has received more than 1 million pre-orders since they opened up this past June.
Sony also revealed that its fledgling PlayStation Vita handheld will be getting a permanent and immediate price cut: the WiFi-only model has been slashed from $250 to $200, while the 3G-enabled model has gone from $300 to $250.
The company addressed another common complaint about the system by slashing the prices of the Vita's external memory cards. The cuts there go as follows: the 4GB memory card has gone from $20 to $15; the 8GB card has dropped from $30 to $20; the 16GB card has gone from $60 to $40; and the 32GB card has gone from $100 to $80.
Sony used the conference to showcase a slew of games that will be coming to the PS4 and PS Vita as well, ranging from previously announced PS4 blockbusters like Killzone: Shadow Fall, Watch Dogs and Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag to soon-to-arrive indies like Hotline Miami 2: Wrong Number and Everybody's Gone to the Rapture. Sony says that 33 games will be coming to the PS4 before the end of 2013, while more than 180 games are currently in development for the console overall.
The company announced that the ever-popular Minecraft will be arriving on PS4 as a launch title, that Borderlands 2 will be coming to the PS Vita in 2014, and that Gran Turismo 6 will hit the PS3 on December 6 as well. It also revealed a limited time deal that will let those who purchase the PS3 versions of Call of Duty: Ghosts, Watch Dogs, Assassin\'s Creed IV and Battlefield 4 buy the PS4 versions of those games through the PlayStation Store at a \"significantly discounted price,\" though it didn\'t say how big the discounts will be.
But those independent developers–whom Sony has made a concerted effort to attract over the past several months–may have had the largest showing of the conference. A variety of titles were shown off from smaller studios, including platformer N++ (coming to PS4), roguelike Wasteland Kings (Vita and PS4), side-scrolling space shooter Resogun (PS4), and cel-shaded adventure game Rime (PS4), among many others. Previously released hits like Fez and The Binding of Isaac were also revealed to be getting Vita and PS4 and Vita releases, respectively.
On the technical side of things, Sony confirmed that the PS4, like the Xbox One, will see integration from popular game streaming site Twitch. The rumored $200 PS3 model that carries 12GB of flash storage was confirmed as well. The company also announced that it will be "enhancing" its Music Unlimited streaming service for PS4 with a new interface that will let you play music in the background while you play games. Finally, Sony revealed that it is entering into "strategic partnerships" with European internet service providers like Orange, Virgin, Ono and Deutsche Telekom to provide PS4-friendly broadband services, though Sony is keeping mum on specific details there for now.


Made at Henry Moore's home in Kent, Reclining Figure is an example of the artist's experiments with lead casting in the late 1930s. Its molten, rounded forms testify to Moore's interest in organic shapes and the sculptures of Jean Arp, while drawings relating to this work reveal that Moore imagined enlarging it and positioning it within a natural landscape.

This small reclining figure is cast in lead and mounted on a flat rectangular oak base that is stained black. It is possible that Henry Moore cast this sculpture himself without the involvement of a foundry, as it is known that he cast several lead figures at his home around the time this sculpture was made. Prior to casting Moore would have made an original model, probably using wax, from which the lead sculpture was cast.
The sculpture is fixed to its base with three recessed screws that pass through the base from underneath (fig.2). Three other holes are visible in the base in different positions which may indicate that this was a base intended originally for another work, or that the fixing locations were altered.

The curved, undulating leg section is pierced with a hole separating the two legs. Despite the schematic treatment of the limbs, it is possible to ascertain that the left leg rests on its side, bent at the knee, so that the front of the thigh faces forwards and the calf extends backwards on a diagonal. The right knee is raised so that the front of the right leg faces upwards and the right thigh creates an arch or bridge over the left. The right calf merges into the left, which is presented as a triangular wedge with a flat upper surface. When seen from the rear, the back, hips, buttocks and legs create a sequence of rounded forms and a sliver of empty space can be seen underneath the left arm and torso of the sculpture.
Although his teaching duties as Head of the Sculpture Department at the Chelsea School of Art kept him in London for much of his time, in 1935 Moore bought a cottage called Burcroft near Canterbury in Kent. In a letter dated 30 April 1939 to his friend Arthur Sale, Moore explained that 'We go [to Burcroft] whenever we can be free from London because I can work better there'.1 It is likely that this lead sculpture was one of a number of small metal sculptures cast by Moore in a kiln constructed in his garden. This practice of 'backyard casting' was relatively common among artists producing small scale sculptures in the 1930s, and lead was a particularly favoured material due to its low melting point.
In order to create the lead Reclining Figure it is likely that Moore first made a model in wax. In 1960 Moore recounted that during his experiments with backyard casting he discovered that he could skip one of the usual stages of the lost wax process by modelling directly in wax.4 Meadows recalled in 1987 that the wax used for the lead sculptures made between 1938 and 1940 was 'beeswax, bought from Boots the Chemist' in Canterbury.5 Having modelled the original wax sculpture it was then encased in a hard material, usually plaster mixed with an aggregate of ground-up pottery. Moore then used the lost wax technique to make the lead version, whereby the casing containing the wax was placed in the kiln and heated so that the wax could be melted out. Molten lead was then poured into the sculpture-shaped void left inside the casing. In light of her conversation with Meadows, Collins narrated that 'the lead was melted down in a large domestic saucepan, one of Irina Moore's, over a primus stove in the studio. The main consideration was whether the saucepan handle could withstand the weight of the lead when the saucepan was lifted and carried outside to the mould for the pouring of the molten metal'.6 When the lead had cooled and hardened, the outer casing would have been removed to reveal the sculpture inside. However, one of the disadvantages of working in wax and using this direct lost wax casting method was that since there was only one original sculpture, there was only one opportunity to cast the sculpture in metal. If any stage in the process went wrong, the sculpture would be lost. This element of risk may explain why Mary Moore, the artist's daughter, recounted that Moore 'thought he'd try lead casting at home, because by then he was so macho and he just thought, "Well, why can't I do it?"'.7 However, Moore was also practical, and it seems likely that the surviving terracotta version of this sculpture was a copy of the wax original, made so that a reference copy would survive after the casting process.
Meadows remembered that the chasing of the lead figures after casting was a laborious process. Large excess shapes were removed with metal files, but then for a more delicate finish, the files have to be abandoned in favour of polishing by hand. Emery or sandpaper cannot be used because the emery works itself into the surface of the lead. Meadows knew of a carpenter who suggested that sharkskin was a very good polishing agent, so a sharkskin was obtained and used. Lead dust causes a very fine black powder to settle on the polisher's face and hands and Meadows remembered that he often had a black face when polishing pieces like Reclining Figure 1939 (Tate T03761).
It is known that Moore cast at least sixteen lead sculptures at Burcroft between 1938 and 1940. Fourteen of these, including Reclining Figure, were exhibited at his exhibition New Sculpture and Drawings at the Leicester Galleries, which having been postponed from November 1939 took place in February 1940.
The later bronze casts of this work and other sculptures after lead originals, such as Reclining Figure 1939 (Tate T00387), would have been made at a professional bronze foundry. In order to re-cast a lead sculpture in bronze a mould would be made directly from the lead sculpture. It is known for example that Moore borrowed a lead Reclining Figure from its owner, Peter Gregory, in 1958 in order to cast an edition in bronze.11 However, it is likely that the foundry was able to recast this Reclining Figure using the surviving terracotta model.
Reclining Figure may be understood as a development of Moore's earlier Reclining Figure 1929 (fig.7) and Recumbent Figure 1938 (fig.8), which were carved in Brown and Green Hornton stone respectively. Like Reclining Figure both of these earlier sculptures present a female figure lying down with her belly and legs extending from her upright head and shoulders. In all three sculptures the figure rests on an elbow – on the right elbow in the two earlier works and on the left elbow in the 1939 lead sculpture – and her knees are bent. All three have rounded projecting breasts. In the later lead work, however, Moore dispensed with the heavy block-like composition of the 1929 sculpture and accentuated the holes and pierced shapes seen in Recumbent Figure in order to give the 1939 sculpture a sense of movement and fluidity, characteristics which are enhanced by its smoothed polished surfaces.
While his design for Reclining Figure appears to have been determined in his 1938 drawing, Moore nonetheless continued to toy with the compositional potential of this sculptural form. In Ideas for Metal Sculpture: Reclining Figures 1939 (fig.11) Moore presents a sequence of reclining female figures in the top half of the page that are very similar to the lead sculpture. The heads, each with a u-shaped incision, indicate how Moore experimented with the size and position of various elements to consider how such changes impacted on the final design. Although a mirror image, the sketch at the top centre of the page is perhaps closest to the final three-dimensional version. Cumulatively, the ideas presented on this page point to how Moore was conjoining and opening out the body in order to create non-naturalistic arrangements of solid and empty forms. The flat, protruding breast plates of the sketched figures also demonstrate how Moore engaged with the structural capabilities of metal and the consequential compositional possibilities available to him. This thin and cantilevered element of the sculpture would have been very difficult to achieve in carved stone or wood; Moore explained that 'working direct in wax has many possibilities, since wax has a toughness about it that will allow you to do very thin forms ... By working direct in wax, one was able to make shapes and forms much thinner and more open'.31 Indeed it is probable that Moore's choice of materials was determined by the form and composition of the sculpture that he wanted to make rather than by a specific desire to start working in metal.
In 1983 Reclining Figure was one of seventy twentieth-century sculptures transferred from the V&A to the Tate Gallery. The transfer was made in order to rationalise the collections of both institutions, and was reciprocated by the Tate, which transferred to the V&A six of the earliest sculptures in its collection. When Reclining Figure entered the Tate collection it was noted that the V&A's acquisition number 'CIRC. 17–1940' was written in white ink on the underside of the sculpture.

"Shooting the Breeze with Baby Boomer Stars!" by Torchy Smith
By Annie Tobey | August 29th, 2019
Surprising Celebrity Conversations for the Retro Generation
"Where Are They Now" fans, rejoice! Self-professed "nostalgic junkie" Edward "Torchy" Smith has interviewed dozens of celebrities and gathered the conversations in Shooting the Breeze with Baby Boomer Stars.
In his book, Smith includes 50 people of baby boomer-ish ages. Given his 1947 birthday, he begins with 10 Mouseketeers from The Mickey Mouse Club. Other stars are known for later TV shows and movies, including Happy Days, Kung Fu, The Waltons, Laverne & Shirley and Animal House. Don't expect big name stars like Annette Funicello or Ron Howard – you probably already know what they've been up to anyway.
The stories include behind-the-scenes peeks into shows and celebs we remember fondly, into the personalities behind the pretty faces, into their current passions and more. For example, you'll learn:
That Anson Williams (Potsie on Happy Days) was born Anson William Heimlich, and his second cousin was Dr. Henry Judah Heimlich – yes, the man whose "maneuver" has saved many lives.
What Penny Marshall and Cindy Williams (Laverne and Shirley) were doing professionally when they were invited to appear on Happy Days.
Whether voiceovers or animation comes first, a question answered by Bill Mumy (Will Robinson in Lost in Space), who did many a voiceover and narration after escaping from Mr. Smith.
How fans reacted when Dean Butler (Almanzo Wilder, Laura's husband on Little House on the Prairie) played The Love Boat husband of Mary Elizabeth McDonough (Erin on The Waltons). (Can you say "cheating scoundrel"?)
That cute little Mouseketeer Cubby O'Brien sprang from a long line of drummers – his primary gig after The Mickey Mouse Show – and which well-known pop duo he later performed with.
About Last Dance at the Savoy: Life, Love and Caring for Someone with Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, the book Kathryn Leigh Scott (Playboy bunny and Barnabas Collins' love interest in the dark soap opera, Dark Shadows) wrote about her husband after his death.
The book contains plenty of interesting tidbits like these, told in Smith's casual, somewhat whimsical style. His not-too-infrequent mistakes and some scattered organization can be distracting. However, the mini-profiles of people from our childhood and youth provide nostalgic forays and insights while answering that age-old question, "Where are they now?"

The primary goal of Matthew's entire gospel – like if you get nothing else out of it you need to get this – you need to know who this Jesus is. You need to know what you've have when you've have Jesus. You need to know what you have when Jesus has you.
TO THAT END, Matthew has bracketed the beginning of Jesus' ministry with this question from the devil – "If you are the Son of God…" to the end of Jesus' ministry with this confession of faith from the Centurion at the cross, "truly this was the Son of God." (Matt.27:54).
This is the goal of our gospel reading for this morning.
The "Feeding of the 5000" has just concluded. No sooner have the 12 baskets of leftovers been collected than Jesus ORDERS them to get into the boat. "HE MADE THE DISCIPLES GET INTO THE BOAT." You get the feeling they didn't want to go. Maybe they wanted to stick around for a while. He did such a good job with dinner, let's see what He can do with breakfast.
He orders them to get into the boat and shove off while He remained behind and 'DISMISSED' the crowds.
His disciples had told Him to 'dismiss the crowds' BECAUSE THEY WERE HUNGRY.
But now Jesus dismisses the crowd because they have been WELL FED.
In the book of Numbers we read that God instructed Moses to tell the High Priest, Aaron, to dismiss the gathering of His people with these words: "The Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make His face shine upon you and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you and give you His peace." (Numbers 6:24) Who knows that Jesus didn't dismiss HIS 'WELL-FED' congregation in the wilderness with these very words?
Many of the 12 disciples were experienced sailors, so despite the nasty conditions, they made good headway to "the other side," which was probably Capernaum or one of the villages on the north side of the sea of Galilee.
We wonder if they remembered any of that?
The "fourth watch of the night" is the hours from 3am. to 6am. I can't think of much reason for Matthew to tell us the time except that Jesus prayed for a long time and the disciples had been sailing the boat and fighting the wind for a long time and were undoubtedly exhausted.
Keep in mind, this is all still the same day as when they had set sail for a desolate place before the 5,000 showed up.
In their exhaustion Jesus comes to them – "WALKING ON THE SEA." All of the artwork that I've ever seen of this always portrays Jesus as though He was out for a casual stroll in the park- effortlessly walking on the water.
He is REFRESHED from praying. They are EXHAUSTED from working.
Jesus comes to His disciples – not to hitch a ride back home, but as the ANSWER to the great QUESTIONS put to Job that we heard earlier.
Whenever God comes to us with even the smallest bit of His glory exposed – we can't handle it. We freak out. Their reaction is three-fold.
BUT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY HAD.
"Immediately" Jesus speaks His Word to them – His GRACIOUS and GOSPEL word which has the power to CHANGE the FEAR into JOY even though the situation remains UNCHANGED.
"Take heart…" means, "BE COURAGEOUS." "HAVE COURAGE." Your Lord has seen your distress and your weariness and has come to DELIVER you and give you REST.
How disappointing. Don't go giving Peter more credit that he's due here. He's not 'TAKEN HEART,' or 'being courageous.' In fact, just the opposite.
If Peter had only said, "SINCE it is you, command me to come to you on the water." "SINCE it is you, help me to be brave and help me to trust." "Lord, I believe. Help my unbelief." But Peter puts Jesus to the test. His word is not enough.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT WE HAVE.
29 [Jesus] said, "Come." So Peter got out of the boat and walked on the water and came to Jesus.
Be careful about putting your Lord to the 'test.' He may just accept your test and force you to either trust Him or not.
So, let's give poor Peter this much credit. When he was trapped in his own trap, he got out of the boat and walked to Jesus.
This is the same wind that had been pounding the boat all night long. But now Peter 'saw the wind.' And in seeing the wind, "he was afraid." Jesus had just told him, "do not be afraid." And for a moment, Peter was the fearless one. But then he took his eyes off of Jesus and saw the ridiculous situation he was in.
The danger for us here is to say that it was PETER'S FAITH that kept him afloat and that as soon as he began to doubt, HIS FAITH could no longer hold him up. No. DON'T EVER PUT FAITH IN YOUR FAITH. Your faith will NEVER support you or save you.
Earlier, this same Peter had made the good confession of faith – "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." And Jesus commended Peter, calling him, 'Petros,' "and on this rock I will build my church." But our faith is fragile and fleeting. And now this ROCK man is sinking fast.
FAITH ALWAYS HAS TO HAVE A WORTHY OBJECT TO TRUST IN – OR ELSE IT'S NOTHING BUT FOOLISHNESS. Everyone has 'faith.' But far too few have faith in the ONE OBJECT that can actually save them.
Just as He IMMEDIATELY spoke His comforting word to His terrified crew, now He IMMEDIATELY reached out his hand and took hold of His terrified ROCK man.
Notice please, Jesus doesn't save Peter because of Peter's GREAT faith. But please also also that Jesus doesn't reject Peter because of his 'little faith.' And neither does He reject you because of your 'little faith'.
Teaching by teaching, parable by parable, miracle by miracle, the mystery is being rolled back further and further. And the seed that was sown in our baptism is taking root and growing.
And if we will allow it – our 'little faith' is tested – and it grows stronger. And we learn what we have in this Jesus Christ and in the fact that He has us.

Q: Different Lie groups of the same exceptional Lie algebra? for $\mathfrak{g_2,f_4,e_6,e_7,e_8}$ An exceptional Lie algebra is a complex simple Lie algebra whose Dynkin diagram is of exceptional (nonclassical) type. There are exactly five of them: $\mathfrak{g}_{2}$, ${\mathfrak {f}}_{4}$,${\mathfrak {e}}_{6}$,
${\mathfrak {e}}_{7}$, ${\mathfrak {e}}_{8}$; their respective dimensions are 14, 52, 78, 133, 248.
See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exceptional_Lie_algebra
Usually, given a Lie algebra,

there could be different Lie groups associated to the same given Lie algebras.

It is commonly say the Lie groups of given Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_{2}$, ${\mathfrak {f}}_{4}$,${\mathfrak {e}}_{6}$,
${\mathfrak {e}}_{7}$, ${\mathfrak {e}}_{8}$ are $G_2$, $F_4$, $E_6$, $E_7$, $E_8$
However, do we have other and different Lie groups of the same exceptional Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}_{2}$, ${\mathfrak {f}}_{4}$,${\mathfrak {e}}_{6}$,
${\mathfrak {e}}_{7}$, ${\mathfrak {e}}_{8}$?
For example, the $SO(N)$ and $Spin(N)$ can have the same Lie algebra ${\mathfrak {so}}_{n}$, but different Lie groups because $Spin(N)/(\mathbb{Z}/2)=SO(N)$.

Los Gatos: Chamber installs surveillance system
By Judy Peterson | Bay Area News Group
November 4, 2013 at 8:21 a.m.
The Los Gatos Chamber of Commerce has installed four cameras at its office at 10 Station Way and is inviting the public to come by and take a look. A DVR and monitor are also included with the surveillance package.
The cameras were installed by the Alarm Company. Chamber executive director Ronee Nassi cited the plastic bag ban that takes effect next February as one reason for the installation. "After some discussion pertaining to the new bag ordinance and a fear of the possibility of increased shoplifting once shoppers are bringing in their own bags, the Chamber has had surveillance cameras installed for educational purposes," Nassi said.
Although Nassi said the Chamber does not have a security problem, she does plan to add the system to the town's new surveillance program that encourages residents and businesses with cameras to list them with the town. More information on the program is at joinonwatch.org.
Members of the public can stop by the Chamber to see the system Monday-Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.

This book introduces modern readers to Michael Faraday's great nineteenth-century lectures on The Chemical History of a Candle. This edition is a companion book to the popular EngineerGuy YouTube series of the lectures. This books contains supplemental material to help readers appreciate Faraday's key insight that "there is no more open door by which you can enter into the study of science than by considering the physical phenomena of a candle." Through a careful examination of a burning candle, Faraday's lectures introduce readers to the concepts of mass, density, heat conduction, capillary action, and convection currents. They demonstrate the difference between chemical and physical processes, such as melting, vaporization, incandescence, and all types of combustion. And the lectures reveal the properties of hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, including their relative masses and the makeup of the atmosphere. The lectures wrap up with a grand, and startling, analogy: by understanding the chemical behavior of a candle the reader can grasp the basics of respiration. To help readers understand Faraday's key points this book has an "Essential Background" section that explains in modern terms how a candle works, introductory guides for each lecture written in contemporary language, and seven student activities with teaching guides.
